Y P O R T Geo. H. < NAPSHOTS Campbell LJ | S | i There were no OHA games played last night but the OHA breaks into the news this morning, when retiring president George Panter tries to tell us how much better it will be that a player can be drafted for $150.00, paid to the association executive. Yipe! Do the little OHA "B" and "C" teams, of which there are the most, realize what this means. Then that other one, the amendment to the amendment, whereby if it is passed, on a "C" clause contract, a player can be claimed by only the club sponsored by the NHL club which holds the "C" clause contract. Anybody should be able to see that that idea didn't come from an amateur club. That would further strengthen the NHL clubs' grip on the player--which is just why the "C" clause is as it is. If Stratford could outbid Marlboros (Toronto Leafs) for Lewicki, why not? Why should the OHA pass a rule to protect the Leafs or any other NHL club from a rival bidder. On top of that--where would such teams as Oshawa Generals, Hamilton Tigers, etc, come in under this new pro- posed rule. We wouldn't be able to get any player who was on a "C" clause--because we are not sponsored by any NHL club. Mr. Panter's intimation that the move is to enable a player to better himself and play where he wishes--is eyewash. The player would be worse off than before. Now he can always deal with his own club and say, "Sure, I'll go to Bushville, if they'll pay you want you want for my tfansfer--but I wouldn't go to Tornnto, not even if they paid you a million bucks and you gave me half of it."--See what we mean?

Purchased By "A's" Triplett, purchased by Philadel- phia Athletics at the close of the season, clouted .353 in 126 games to beat out his younger teammate, Johnny Groth, for top honors. Groth, expected to man centrefield for Detroit Tigers next year, batted .340 in 150 games. Triplett failed to lead in any oth- er offensive department. He collect- ed 141 hits in 399 times at bat, in- cluding 32 doubles, 19 homers and three triples.

Toronto, Dec. 3--(CP)--George Panter, retiring President of the Ontario Hockey Association, said Thursday that an amendment will be brought before the O.H.A. annu- al meeting Saturday which will en- able a Junior or Senior "A" club to draft a player from a club of low- er classification, by paying $150 to the Association Executive. The meeting also will hear an amendment to the amendment reading that a player on Form C, or any other form, to a Profession- al Club, may only be drafted by an O.H.A. Club sponsored by the Pro club which has the player on Form "C." > Form "C" is a contract renew- able annually and signed by a Ju- nior with a pro club which permits the pro club to name the amateur team for which the youngster must play. Panter said he hopes the legisla- tion will stop clubs holding up a player who wants to move up iato d G. higher company.

He's "Sandor Kovacz of Hungary," down around New York Boston, etc. They have some cute stories about him in the "Wrestling News." He is of course hailed as the champion of Hungary and one of the first mat stars to come from a foreign country. Henry DeGlane of France is reported to write that when he saw Kovacz in France and tagged him as a future champion. Latest is that Sandor is pitted against. "Bull" Curry in the main bout .at Boston Arena (this was last night). The fans are clamoring for more bouts featuring Kovacz and he's apparently "reall yin."
