FIRST OSHAWA WINNER Bob Attersley Earns High Honor The Red' T feo Memorial Tropl TORONTO -- Voting for the, Til- son Memorial Trophy has never been closer than this year when 10 Ontario sportswriters named their choices of the "most valu- able and gentlemanly' player in the OHA Junior "A" League. It was almost impossible to get Oshawa's Bob Attersley and Galt's McBurney apart, but when the votes were tallied and re-tallied the 19-year-old Attersley receive the call with 49 points to McBur- ney's 47. ¢ FIESP OSHAWA WINNER i e y, pu up 1 or competi- y The Globe and il, is in gina and Osha wa before being bai ed in ovérseas combat duty with | the Canadian Army. This is the first time a member of the Osh- awa Generals has won the Tilson Award, All but one of the writers named Attersley as one of their three choices and only two left McBur- ney off their selections. The voting was weighted to give writers out- side of Toronto nine points for a first-place selection, six for a sec- ond and three for a thind. The three Toronto scribes, who follow two To- Maple Leaf Baseball Club), Bill EVERYTHING FROM SOUP TO TREN A lot of Oshawa hockey fans are going up to Galt tonight to watch the Generals "do-or-die" in their 5th and deciding game against the Galt Black Hawks, in this hectic OHA Junior "A" series. Via telephone yesterday, the three clubs interested agreed that the winner of tonight's game will play St. Mike's in the first game of the semi- finals, at Maple Leaf Gardens tomorrow afternoon. If the Generals win this crucial contest tonight, theyll play St. Mike's in Toronto on Sunday and play the second game of the series likely next Saturday night here in Oshawa. Meanwhile, the Generals have a tough chore ahead of them tonight, They'll be without the services of Bill Stewart, the hero of the 10-minute overtime victory on Thursday night, A few seconds after he had scored that all-important goal, Stewart crashed into the side- boards (he was aided in that, of course) and suffered a knee injury that has not responded to treatment as quickly as hoped. He will be missing from the line-up tonight and we expect Coach Gerry Brown will likely use Jerry Casey to fill in the left-wing spot. Dykstra of the Juveniles will also dress, The Hayden Macdonald Juveniles were beaten 4-1 last night to suffer elimination so Brodie, who scored three goals in the playoff here the other night, will be available and should be able to keep up his end. Bobby . Attersley was today named winner of The "Red" Tilson Memorial Trophy, as "the most valuable player" in the OHA Junior "A" league for the 1952-53 season. In a terrific race, Attersley nosed out Jim McBurney, the league's leading scorer by 49 to 47, to win the trophy donated by The Globe and Mail in memory of the great Osh G tre-ice star, who was killed overseas in the last war, This is the first time that a member of the Oshawa Generals hag won the coveted award presented in memory of one of Oshawa's greatest "Generals" of all time and the honor is richly deserved. In looking over the voting reports, we learn that two Toronto writers and two "outside" writers, voted Attersiey as their first choice and only two of all the writers failed to vote for Jim McBurney. Since we don't care who knows how we voted--we'll state here and now that this writer was one of the two, in both cases. An "outside" writer is given 9 points for a 1st vote, 6 for a 2nd and 3 for his 3rd choice. We have always felt that the player who leads thg league in scoring is sufficiently rewarded when he wins The Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy and we suspect that winning the league scoring has a great influence upon the voting of some writers, BRIGHT BITS:--Oshawa Juveniles (Hayden Macdonald's) were beaten 4-1 last night in Toronto by the Downsview Juveniles and that puts the Toronto lads in the Ontario finals , . . Another Attersley com- ing up, scored the only goal for the Oshawa Juveniles last night . . What with Bob Attersley winning the Tilson Award and the Oshawa Merchants signing Mike Garback as their playing manager for the Inter-County Baseball League race this season, the local sports fans have plenty to talk about these days, haven't they? . .. The big CRA Pee Wee Baseball Booster Night last night at the CRA proved to be a "sports celebrity night" of great weight and was an outstanding success with the CRA facilities packed to capacity . . . This baseball talk of Boston Braves moving to Milwaukee and St. Louis Browns going to Baltimore really has the "Hot Stove League" boys carrying on at great length--and heat. .If it happens, they'll have to draw up new schedules for the 1053 season . . . Two rinks of Oshawa curlers made splendid showings in the Royal Canadians' Bonspiel this week, which concluded yesterday. Bill Brownlee's rink, including Bill Whittington, Oscar Parker and J. H. McDiarmid won three games on Thursday and went to semi" finals of the main event, The A. E. Walton Memorial Trophy, before losing out yesterday to the powerful Orillia rink skipped by G. A. Fitz- patrick, the Same rink that ousted Oshawa's Al Parkhill entry in Wednesday's play in the third round. At that, A. Mollenhauer of To- ronto Vics won the final over the Orillia rink 9-5 . . . In the secondary event, for the Harry Baillie Trophy, Don Holden's Oshawa rink last out in the final game to Andy Grant's rink from the host club. Holden's entry included Waddy Oke, Pard Canning and Rev. J. C. Pereyma. Police Patrol Must Obey Referees Instructions--OHA TORONTO (CP) -- An Ontario Hokey Association sub-committee Thursday that police em- ployed by an arena must obey the tructions of a referee. The question arose when the com- mittee received a report from réf- eree Hugh Barlow of Hamilton that Maple Leaf Gardens police had re- fused to heed his demand to re- move Toronto Marlboro manager Stafford Smthe from a box seat behind the Marlboro players' bench. The incident occurred at an OHA Junior A playoff game here last Saturday between the Marl- boros and Barrie Flyers. Because of the refusal of police to enforce the referee's demand Barrie coach Hap Emms lodged a protest to the OHA after the game but withdrew it Thursday be- fore the meeting began. The committee instructed OHA secretary Bill Hanley to issue warning to all Ontario arenas that lice must follow the bidding of e referee in charge of the e. Failure to do so could mark the arena 'out of bounds" for OHA teams. No action was taken on the Smythe incident since Biuythe de Died hearing Barlow telling him eave. HORSE DROPS DEAD MIAMI, Fla.

SIBLOCK HUGE ATTENDANCE Bill Smith, of the staff of the Community Recreation Association deserves a big hand for his great work in putting together absolute- ly the greatest Sports Celebrity Night which Oshawa has ever seen. The purpose of the huge affair held last night at the CRA Build- ing was to boost Pee Wee baseball here in the city. It .was to have been a sort of faher and son night. And considering the packed house the wishes of all the hard workers behind the scenes came true. There were a host of celebrities on the stage who spoke a few words to the boys and then each took turns at digging into the lucky number pile to decide who was going. to win the prizes that included baseballs, bats, gloves, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, auto- graphed hockey pictures of the Generals, autographed pictures of the Brooklyn Dodgers, of the To- ronto Maple Leafs ball club, free passes Smith Trucker games, to the Merchants baseball club games and to the Toronto baseball Leafs games. MOVIES TOO! i All that and one big movie as Leaf Heroes Back On Ice By THE CANADIAN PRESS Toronto Maple Leafs welcomed | in back their battle casualties today and hoped they hadn't returned to the wars too late. At full strength for the first time since Jan. 1, the Leafs face Bos- ton Bruins tonight after a six-day layoff, at the start of what they hope will be an uphill climb to a National Hockey League. playoff berth. Only four clubs qualify for Stan- ley Cup play, and the Bruins cur- rently own fourth place by a three point margin over Toronto. Both .| clubs have six games to play. Yet the Leafs' most likely tar- get is not Boston but the third-place Chicago Black Hawks, who lead the Bruins by a single point but have only five games lef{--three of them against the fearsom Detroit Red Wings and one against the Leafs themselves. °' Chicago pairs off with the first- place Wings for a home-and-home doubleheader starting at Detroit tonight, while the Leafs stand a fair chance of victory when they face the last-place -- though oc- casionally troublesome--Rangers at New York Sunday. The Rangers are at Montreal Saturday night and the second- place Canadiens, assured of their playoff berth, travel to Boston Sunday. - Back to help the Leafs in their stretch drive are centres Ted Ken- nedy and Max Bentley and right- winger Howie Meeker. Coach Joe Primeau says they'll all take their regular turns if they can stand the pace. Reports from the Boston camp say captain Milt Schmidt hurt his side when he crashed into a goal- while the Bruins gwere tying the Red Wings 2-2. But Primeau, with unhappy recollections of what the veteran centre has done to his club on previous occasions when he was supposed to be a virtual cripple, isn't counting too much on Schmjdt's injury. well. It was on the 1952 World Series. in Oshawa with a fellow like Bill Smith supporting the Pee Wee baseball program that the league expects not only to double its num- ber of teams this year, but to treble them! The head table guests, if one can use that title in such an open for- um type meeting, included Mayor Jack Naylor, Bill Smith, Bill Har- ris (scout for the Brooklyn Dod- gore), Joe Crysdale (CKEY sports ector), Merv McKenzie (Ontario Athletic Commissioner), Blayne McDonald (Hamilton lacrosse star) John Perdue (Toronto Baseball Club), Gerry Brown (Coach of the Oshawa Generals), Rolly Little (Oshawa Merchants Ball Club), Jack Albright (Community Pro- grams Branch, Dept. of Educa tion), Joe Flynn (Bolahood Sports- haven), Paul Summerville (CKLB sports director) and Bob Rife (Times-Gazette sports columnist). Mayor Naylor extended a civic welcome to the many guests pres- ent and with Bill Smith and Paul Summerville acting as master of ceremonies, the program moved along at a very fas® pace. ..de- spite the very heavy agenda. TRIBUTE TO MINORS Most of the guests reminisced about past major league happen- ings, while others not directly « con- nected with baseball told a in their one sport which dove-tailed into the general theme of the night . ..a tribute to Little League baseball as it will be played here in Oshawa this summer.

The local bantam Shamrocks won, 6-2, for a four- goal lead, while the midget Marl- boros beat Aces, 2-1, to take a one- goal margin into the return game Monday night in Scarboro. The bantam game was a speedy, clean affair with Larry Lonsberry sparking the home attack with four goals, Bill Mahoney and Val Armstrong getting their other tal. lies. Barrie Johnson scored twice for the visitors, The midget melee was a rough one, featured by a free-for-all in the second period which required the efforts of two referees and the police to break up. The tilt saw 21 penalties handed out, 14 in the second period. The row started be- tween Bill Godfrey of Aces and Ken Gerrard of Toronto.

No doubt about it, the Sports Celebrity Night to boost Pee Wee baseball was a rousing success.

Attersley, 5-foot 9-inch, 160-pound centre, joins a select club of Tilson Trophy winners. Other members include Tod Sloan, Ed Sandford, George Armstrong (twice), Gil Mayer, Glen Hall and Harrington, The blond-haired battler was one of the chief reasons why the Gen- emis were around for the playoffs thls season. He fired the club through the final two months as the Gens raised themselves from eighth place to the sixth and last playoff spot. "What can yousay about a thing like that?" Attersley asked when he heard the news last night. "I'm really tickled. It's a great honor 'and thank you very much." Columbian Squires Play Floor Hockey On Wednesday the Columbian Squires met in the basement of St. Gregory's school and played a game of floor hockey. Both teams went on a scoring, rampage with the Aces taking a 21-16 decision from the All-Stars. Bart Ryan was best for the win- ners scoring no less then 8 goals. Other goal-getters for the Aces were Tim Byrnes with 5, Joe O'Malley with 4, Jim Brady with 3 and Bob MacDonald with 1.

Other scorers for the All-Stars were Barry Hoop- er and Jim Courtney with 3 each, Jim Lesley and Dale Neil with two apiece and Mike McRae withy Both goalies, Len O'Malley and Gord Jubenville turned in fine per- formances, each pulling some ter- rific saves.
