"10 THE DAILY TIMTES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, March 2, 195) ALBERTA CHAMPIONS HAVE SPL and will represent the province in the Dominion curling i ships starting at Regina March 7. . Thre farmers and a radio-tele- vision salesman from Claresholm are Alberta curling champions "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR SPORTS SCRIBES down Eastern Ontario way are in their annual | playoff hey-rubé this week. The Whitby Dunlops open their semi-final | series in Kingston tonight. Incidentally, friend "Mike" Rodden checks | up on us--points out that the semi-final series is not to be a 3-out| Al of-5 series but will be a seven-game limit. That's not the way it was | feported out of the pre-season organizational meeting at Peterbor- ough, Miguel, my boy! Mike also points out that apparently Bobby | Attersley didn't win the group scoring championship after all. Seems | "Moe" Savard, the speedster with Cornwall Colts, collected three goals and four assists, for seven-point total, in their final game with the Petes and according to Mr. Rodden, this gave Savard the group scoring crown. Sorry to hear it--Mike, sorry to hear it! Seems that not all of the teams down Eastern Ontario way are in favor of the suggestion that the group move up to OHA Senior "A" rating next year. Don't know what they're worried about-- they could call it that now and the Eastern Ontario champs would make a good showing against the current Senior "A" crop, There's really no necessity for any great import program, etc. Mean- while, Whitby and Cornwall are said to be in favor of the idea, but Belleville, Clinton, Brockville, etc., are luke-warm, while King- ston would welcome the move. Reports out of Belleville are that despite making the playoffs, the Memos are still $5,000 in the red. This is a sorry state of affairs for what was once one of the red- hot hockey centres of Eastern Ontario, SPRING TRAINING got under way yesterday in Florida and Arizona for about all the major league ball clubs with 13 of them in Florida, with N.Y. Giants, Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs train- ing in Arizona. In about 10 days, March 10, they'll start exhibition games and then, almost before we know it, the baseball season will be upon us. This is actually a late start for spring training but the players themselves put this one into force. And meanwhile a lot of ¢lubs, especiglly the Indians, have contract troubles, with quite a few players still unsigned, as of yesterday. There are only five in the éntire Natipnal League who haven't inked their 1955 contracts George Trafton, who last appeared in Canadian sports news when he was booted out of his post, as coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, broke into the big ink on Tuesday. He's now in a - promoter's role and claims to have completed a deal for Mariiyn . Bell to swim the 30-mile Santa Catalina channel, from the island to Santa Moni ti this ing , He is credited with saying it's a terrific business venture for Miss Bell and that her lawyers are willing--but her Toronto lawyers claim to know nothing about the deal--but are interested. Now if Trafton was to entice (with a juicy contract) Miss Bell to be swimming the Catalina channel just about the time they want her to open the . CNE--~what then??

Headed by 30 - year - old Hugh Brown, the Alberta champions swept through their district play- offs without a loss and won eight of their nine games in the south- ern Alberta finals. Then in the provincial playoffs at Calgary, the closest they came to defeat was winning an extra. end thriller from the Ole Olson quartet of Edmonton, the city Three Farmers And Salesman Form Alberta's Champion Rink WON 19 OF 20 So far this season, they have won 19 of the 20 games they have played together. Their only loss was to the Bill Allan rink fr Olds in the southern province playoffs. Skipper Brown is the veteran of the quartet. He tossed his first rock 11 years ago. Markle, 32, and Bill Brown, youngest on the rink at 27, have been playing the game for eight years, Dodd, 33, didn't start until five years ago, Hugh Brown is modestly confi- dent about the Hult chances at Regina, "We have never played in which last year produced the youthful Matt Baldwin rink, win- ners of the Canadian champion- ship.

They curled against each other most of the season as skips of their own Claresholm rinks, but joined forces to battle their way into the south- ern finals, a Dominion final before," he says, "but 1 think we will be able to hold out own with the other rinks." The 800-acre farm on which Bill and Hugh are partners with their father, Frank Brown, is about three miles north of Claresholm, a town of 3,500 persons, Markle farms a 480-acre spread just east of town, Dodd is in partnership in a radio-TV and electrical supplies shop. Alger Press Tops Oshawa A's 4-2 Last Sunday evening at the Port Perry Arena Alger Pres run up against tough opposition with the Oshawa A's, It has been the first | game of the season where Alger Press have had such a. low scoring game, Gord Deeth broke the ice by a long hard shot at the 15 minute mark of the first period to give the A's 1-0 lead. Algers came back with only minutes remaining with 2 goals, by George Lawrence and Lawrence to take a 2-1 lead at the end of the first period. The second period was almost a deadlock with both teams checking close and hard with A's having more shots at net but Algers' goal- ie "Austin Wiltshire" played his MEXICO CITY (CP) -- Athletes from 21 nations are pouring into Mexico City this week for the Pan American Games, the regional Qlympics. For the first time Canada will be represented at the games, which observers say may be the biggest sports event of 1955, Canada will send possibly 80 athletes to compete in nine sports: track and field, swimming, syn: chronized swimming, gilrs' backet- ball, wrestling, fencing, equestrian, gymnastics and cycling. Some of those chosen to repre- sent Canada may miss the games for business or personal reasons, usual head-up game and success fully held back the persistant at- tacks, With 15 seconds remaining Doug Cole took a long shot from a| face off and put the pill in the low- er left hand corner of the ngs. This gave Algers 3-2 lead at the end of | the second period. Oshawa A's came out battling in the third period and Davis scored shortly after a minute of play to make the score 2-3. Through a hard period this score was held by Algers until the 18-minute mark when George Lawrence came through with a score to give Algers 4 to A's 2. Oshawa A's pulled their goalie with a minute remaining but the move was of no value but al. most paid Algers another goal when George Lawrence fired a long shot and missed the open net only by inches.

(CP)-Ott Heller, the evergreen defenceman at the age of 44, leaves his playing- coach job with Valleyfield Braves this week to return to Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League, The financial condition of the Braves, at the bottom of the Quebec Hockey League prompted Heller to make the move, Heller, a native of Kitchener, was a top defenceman with New York Rangers in the National Hockey League for 14 years, He handled the Barons the last two seasons, but said that on his re- turn to Cleveland this time he ex- pects to help out only in active ice duty because of depletion of the Barons' forces through injuries, This season marked Heller's first appearance in the QHL in the old Canadian - American League, the NHL., the United States Hockey League and the AHL, Heller played with Springfield, New York, St. Paul, New Haven, Indianapolis and Cleveland. He turned pro with Springfield in the 1929-30 season, He went to the NHL Rangers two seasons later, THREE ASSISIT Heller dressed for 18 games this season and got in most of them, particularly recently when the club was shorthanded through in- juries, He has confined himself largely to defensive work and has collected three assists. "The club has been having fi- nancial troubles and I suggested to the owners it" might help if 1 was able to move and they didn't mind, It was an amicable agree- ment all around and 1 feel both the Valleyfield club and myself will benefit, That's the only reason for my leaving, Heller will be 45 next June, but sald Monday: "I feel fine; that's the funny part of it, No, I don't know when I'll kuit active play." No announcement has yet been | made as to who will handle the Valleyfield team, J. Logan Continues To Pace Dutchmen By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jim Logan of Kitchener - Water- loo Dutchmen is having the best part of his rookie year at the end of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior A series--in fact right in the playoffs, He has counted six of the 11 goals the Dutchies have scored in four semi-final games so far and was the big gun in their 4-3 win over Owen Sound Mercurys Tuesday night, Logan pulled the game out of the fire at 17:33 of the third per- fod, He broke away while Dutchies were a man short to score the winning goal and give Kitchener : 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven ser- es. The game was at Owen Sound, where the Mercs have won their only playoff game. BULLDOG BEATEN Meanwhile, Stratford Indians continued their hometown jinx as they beat Windsor Bulldogs 5-1 to deadlock their best-of-seven semi- finals 2-2, Indians have lost only one game on home ice this sea- son, At Owen ound, Logan had put Kitchener in front at 1:01 of the first period but the Dutchies were behind 3-2 early in the third. Then Jerry Theberge tied in up again while the Dutchies were short handed Logan's winner followed. Mercurys scored two goals while they had a man advantage. Tom Jamieson, Buck Forslund and Ken Green were the Owen Sound marksmen, Stratford gave Bulldog ~ net- minder Bill Harrington a 10-shot barrage to worry about, They scored on one of the shots at 1:12 of the opening session and added next frame, George Aitken scored twice and Lou Bendo, Bill Flick and Herve Dedordy - once for the Indians. Goalkeper Bruce Dale of the In- dians handled 37 shots, Jim Peters MIDGETS ARE OUT Advance Saturday afternoon at the Port Perry Arena, teams from the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association completed their first round of the OMHA playdowns.
