. 10 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, April 15, 1953 EVERYTHING FROM SOUP TO 'TRED The word is out--released today by J. F. Blakney, secretary of the Inter-County Baseball Association--that John H. Gilles will be the first man to hold the new position of "Administrator" of the Inter- "County senior series, It's a one-year appointment and the commitiee made their final decision known yesterday. A London-born barrister, now only 29, John Gillies played with London Majors from 1942 to 1947 and finished off his active career with Strathroy Intermediates for 1948 and 1949. Since then he has been a keen fan. The series executive has placed complete authority in the hands of John Gillies, with confidence in his integrity. His position is practically absolute, with the duty ot -'administering and interpreting the constitution and bylaws of the senior series, he presides at all meetings and he only can call a meeting, which "he can do at any time and his decisions are final and binding in al " matters, He also has the power to enforce the rules and to penalize any team or player for infraction of same. John Gillies apparently has a solid background of baseball, certainly has had a deal of experience in the Inter-County and as a lawyer, should be able to stick-handle his way verbally and literally around all: technical problems. This policy of appointing a "czar" to run the league is not new to baseball of course, t; . "Cecmmissioner" position in major leagues being the pattern followed b, the I-C teams. It should eliminate a lot of bickering between clubs and if the office is capably handled, it might well be that the Inter- County senior clubs have set an example which will be followed by o'her leagues and even other sports groups, in this country. Boston Bruins didn't have what it takes last night and Montreal Canadiens now lead the Stanley Cup series by 3-1 in games. The Habs won 7-3 in Boston last night with Rocket Richard scoring three goals. Bruins had "Red" Henry in goal. They hope to have "Sugar Jim" back in action for the fifth game, in Montreal tomorrow night, when a win for Canadiens will wind up the series. As expected, Barrie Flyers drubbed Quebec Citadels 9-2 last night at Maple Leaf Gardens and by so doing, just about killed interest in the Eastern Canada Junior "A" finals, except perhaps in Quebec, where the die-hards will still turn out in large numbers to see their Citadels contest the right to play in the Memorial Cup finals. There were less than 5,000 fans on hand last night and the second game of the series is tomorrow night in Barrie, where theyll fill their arena of course. What could develop into a loud and vigorous hassle is the is the charge levelled by Alfie Pike, Guelph Biltmores coach, that St. Mike's are tampering with Northern Ontario youngsters, who had already been "tabbed" for delivery to the Guelph Junior ranks, There's an angle of parents' request and permission involved and it could be that St. Mike's authorities will accept whatever blame attached and the players will still stay on the original NHL list-- which will absolve the Toronto Leafs from blame--but will still leave the hockey players in St. Mike's livery. ° BRIGHT BITS: --A snow storm, and a heavy one too, postponea the opening game in Boston yesterday as Fenway Park was blanketed with the white stuff that was so rare around these parts all winter. The American League opening games yesterday resulted in shutouts with Browns whipping Detroit Tigers, A's blanking the Yankees and Indians doing the same to Chicago White Sox . . . In the National loop, Dod d Pi Giants took the Phillies and Milwaukee won P another, over Cards, 3-2 in 10 innings while Cubs nosed out the Reds by the same score . . . Badly beaten by Citadels but still popular at home, Timmins hockey fans gave the Porcupine Combines a great welcome home yesterday . . . Danny L d the wi ing goal in overtime last night as Pittsburgh came from behind a 2-0 deficit and nosed out Cleveland 3-2 to tie up the AHL finals at three wins apiece. Penticton Takes Ft. William 4-3 FORT WILLIAM (CP)--Pentic- day night to take a 2-0 lead in "the best-of-seven Western Canada Allan Cup hockey finals. Pentic- ton won the first game in Fort William by a score of 5-2. The Beavers took a two-goal lead in the first five minutes of play only to see the V's click for their entire quota of four goals before the first period ended. The Beavers outplayed the visiting V's in a scoreless second period. Fort Wil- Hiam's last-period rally provided only one counter. The Penticton goals were scored by Bill Warwick with two, Schmidt and Berry, Kyryluk, McKenzie and Antoniazzi tallied for the Lake- headers. Weston Dukes Top 'Waterloo "B's" 6-4 WATERLOO (CP) -- Weston Dukes battled to a 6-4 victory over Waterloo Siskins Tuesday night in the first game of their best-of-seven | the Ontario Hockey Association junior B finals. 1"Mike Elik tallied a Winners.

The Maryland racing commission banned the 63-year-old firey red-{ head from entering Bowie pending hearing April 23 on charges of 'conduct detrimental to. the best interests of racing." MacPhail has been president of Bowie since it was bought by a syndicate last year. MacPhail could not be reached for comment. /D. Eldred Rinehart, the commis- sion chairman, said the charge against MacPhail resulted from a "clabhouse incident" at Bowie last Saturday. He emphasized the "incident' is entirely separate from another MacPhail had with a state trooper on which charges of disorderly con- duct, drunkenness and assault will be heard April 20. These police charges were placed after Mac- Phail argued with the trooper over way he was directing traffic out of the track after the races the same day. Rinehart wouldn't disclose de- tails of the "clubhouse incident" but other sources reported Mac- Phail had engaged in a loud and profane argument with two direc- tors of the Maryland division of the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association during the races.

The Flyers rapped in five unan- swered goals in the final period to down Quebec Citadelles 9-2 in the first game of a best-of-seven final to decide the Eastern Canada jun- jor hockey champions. The winner of the series will ad- vance into the Memorial Cup final against either Lethbridge Native Sons or St. Boniface Canadiens. The Flyers took a 3-0 lead in the first period and made it 42 in the second before running all over the Citadelles in the third. Barrie's second shot of the game was their first goal, Larry : bault slapped in McKenney's rebound after 52 seconds of play. Skip Teal, who notched his first of three goals, and defenceman Don Cherry built the lead to 3-0 before the period ended. The Citadelles came back in the middle riod to slam in a pair of counters which brought them back into the game. Raymond Cyr fired a 25-footer from the left side of the rink for the visitors' first goal and Camille Henri closed out Barrie Flyers Put Blast On Quebec Citadels 9-2 Quebec's scoring when he got a breakaway at the Barrie blue line, s | skated in to pull Marv Edwards out of position and slid the puck by him. Barrie added another goal for a 4-2 lead before the session was over. Jim Robertson was the marksman. . In the final, the Flyers really showed their stuff. Teal started it at 4:43 with his second of the night. Orv Tessier helped with his tally three minutes later and Teal, Don McKenney and Fred Pletsch took it from there. Marcel Paille was a standout in the Quebec nets. He turned away 37 shots to Edwards' 21 and stop- ped rebound after rebound. In the penalty department the Flyers also got the edge, receiv- ing seven of the 12 minor sen- tences handed out. \ Referees Hap Shouldice and Stan Pratt held firm throughout the Smiths Falls Drill For Hockey Test KITCHENER (CP)--The Smiths Negro Stars Sign With Galt Terriers GALT (CP)--Two Negro pitch- * 1952 records y Galt tien League.

Canadiens need only one more i Victory in the three games possible [te regain the heights of profes- sional hockey. After splitting their esday night. Maurice (Rocket) Richard turned in one of the best games of his spectacular career before Tues- day night's crowd of 13,090. He | scored three goals to run his per- 'sonal total to seven goals in the four games against the Bruins. Richard now has performed the hat trick four times in playoffs and 23 times in his NHL career. Again ignoring his ankle injury, Gerry McNeil was brilliant in the Montreal net. He held the Bruins scoreless until 18:22 in the open- ing period, thereby keeping them blanked for a total of 78 minutes, 22 seconds since taking over from rookie Jacques Plante here Sunday night. Other Montreal scorers were Lorne Davis, after three minutes of play, Dicie Moore, (Boom Boom) Geoffrion and Calum MacKay. The latter lashed a long shot into an empty Boston net at 17:59 in the finale, about 40 sec- onds after the Bruins had pulled out substitute goalie Gordon (Red) Henry. Henry, however, was manning his cage when Richard scored his third goal with only 93 seconds remaining.
