PHONE 3-9811 The Oshawa Police Association, in collaboration with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the On- police departments in Ontario, is sponsoring the annual junior games which are to be held at the Boys' Training School, Bow- ber 23. These games include an. exten- sive program of track and field events, for which public and sec- ondary school pupils from the whole province are eligible. It is likely that a large contingent of boys from Oshawa will be taking part, as the Board of Education will allow all competitors the day off school and will provide trans- portation to and from Bowmanville for the local school athletes. . tario Provincial Police and other |eqd manville on Wednesday, Septem- Stage Annual Police Games At Bowmanville In addition to the events for public and secondary school pu ils, there be an open mile event, for which a trophy is offer- 3 re are also trophies for the school winning the largest num- ber of points, and for the schools winning most points in each of the senior, intermediate and junior events, gold, silver and bronze medallions will be presented to the the winners of individual events.

Whitby has only started to build a new one. Recent word was that two junior ""B" clubs of this dis- trict, Belleville and the local IOOF squad, wouldn't operate this year. Stouffville Clippers, too, prefer a Toronto senior "B" setup, if. pos- sibe. With groups undecided and now a scarcity of arenas in Cen- tral Ontario, it'll take some work to line up the hockey semester in these parts to be ready for play in slightly more than a month. It's possible that someone here will take over the junior "B" entry for the winter. What Oshawa do we can't say. i [LONDON FREE PRESS That was a terrific blow the Osh- awa hockey club got when their arena burned te the ground. Such a disaster is bad enough at any time, but is particularly tough when it takes place just on the eve of the opening of the season. . . . Nothing has been decided yet as to whether the team can operate else- where. KINGSTON WHIG-STANDARD In quick succession fire has de- stroyed ice arenas in Cobourg, Osh- awa and in Clinton, New York, and financial losses have rushed the Eastern Canada Hockey League and the Smith Falls Rideaus out of active circulation. Thereof, the crepe hangs high and seasonal out- looks have been drastically alter- ed. Those hammer blows have tak- en heavy tolls. The Oshawa edifice, known as the "House the Hamblys Built", had been the home of many title- winning junior 'A' machines and brilliant players. It was one of the strongest arena links in the OHA chain and its destruction just 9 fore hockey campaign was about to begin will disrupt plans and schedules to a remarkable extent. Several youthful Kingston play- ers were there when the edifice be- came a blazing pyre. Dick Cherry, Hubert Ball, Bob Senior, Pat Koen and Joe Maracle reported to Bos- ton Bruin officials only last Mon- day, all seeking advancement from unior 'B' ranks to the 'A' series. 0 others, Lyle Burnett and Dar- rel Walton, had gone to Toronto and Montreal respectively in pur- suit of higher hockey education, Prospects that the Oshawa Truckmen will carry on in the OHA senior 'B' series do not .appear bright now that tne club has lost all its equipment and has no suitable arena in which to 'operate. The Generals also lost their pla gear but they are a Boston af- filiate and, no doublt, arrange- ments will be made whereby they will receive ice accommodation elsewhere. In the event that the owners of the Truckmen decide to withdraw the entry for the coming season the senior 'B' group would be composed of Belleville, Peterbor- ough, Orillia, Kingstqp Goodyears and probably the Stouffville Clip- pers. The last named had not rend- ered a definite decision when heard from recently. Relative to junior 'B' hockey, in which Kingston Vics are so vitally concerned, it might be pointed out that the future looks ominous. With the Cobourg Jays and the Oshawa 'Bees' homeless and the Belleville Black Hawks reported out of com- petition it is thought unlikely that either will operate and in that event Lindsay, Peterborough and the Vics would be left stranded on the rocks of doubt and trouble. Op- erating costs in a three-team series would be prohibitive and under such circumstances all concerned would probably shy away from such a hazardous plan. which competitors only will | Manastersky, Welton Fined For Fighting OTTAWA (CP--Tommy Manas- tersky, Montreal halfback, and John Welton, Ottawa end, were fined $50 for fighting during Wed- nesday night's Alouette-Rough Ri- ders game here, D.
