Seul-finals The Moss Park, Toronto, Inter- mediate basketball team won a psligJ&edge i n scoring over the Bwanville Wheelers in the first game of the semi-finals for the #O-ntario championship at the High SSchool gym, Saturday night. Strong and confident the Toronto iquintette jumped the gun at the start to take a 14-5 lead, which they held throughout but which narrowed to a final 41-37 with Bowmanville pressing hard at the bell. At haif time the score stood 2U-17. The visitors, often with a chip on their shoulders, and frequent protests to officiais, displayed a surer bail handling and more finished shooting than the locals, but the Bowmanville boys, with constant hustie, gave an account of themselves which leads many fans to believe they can take the honors in the return match in To- ronto in the Parkdale, Coliegiate, Saturday at 8 p.m. In the second haîf of the con- test, fouis became numerous and Levantis of Moss Park was ban- ished for five personal foixls. 0f the 40 free throws granted, 21 were against the Bowmanville h BOY SCOUT I m SALVAGE DRIVE Wednesday - April 10,y 1946 Oom.mencing at 6 p.m. Ail homes north of King Street Friday - April 12, 1946 Oonimencing at 6 p.m. Ail homes south of King Street Collection of Paper, Rags, Iron and Goose Feathers PLEASE LEAVE SALVAGE IN SBOURELY TIE~D BUNDLE ON BOULEVARD ,i We Specialize nR House and Farm Wiring Now that spring is here have that much needed wiring done now.

The* referees, Don Ferguson, Bowmanville, and Biff Campbell, Toronto, well known rugby off i- cial, had the game in hand ail the way, but had to hand out fre- quent warnings including one to the fans that their team would be penallzed if they persisted in too much "bronx."

Osborne President A new siate of off icers were elected at the opening meeting of the Bowmanville Intermediate Basebaîl Club on Monday night. The club has been completely ne- organized and it looks as if some- thing realiy promising is in the wind. Merchaplts along front street are being canvassed for funds to buy uniforms and several local industries are being asked to assist in financing the initial expense of the club. It was resoived that absolutely no player would receive any mon- ey for his services no matter what the circum§tances. It is ex- pected that praclices will get un- derway shortly and that a certain amount of work will be done to fix up the grounds and the war- neglected bleachers at the B.H.S. grounds. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Apnil 9 at 7:45 p.m. at the council chambers when a large number of prospective bal players are expected. The new lîst of officers are: Hon. president, Charles Cattran; president, Allan Osborne; vice- president, J. J. Brown; secretary- treasurer, Nelson E. Osborne; bus- iness manager, Jim Crombie; board of directors, C. G. Morris, A. M. Thompson, Elmer Ott, Mon- ley Vanstone, Frank Williams, M. Breslin, R. R. Stevens, Mel. Wight and Dr. H. B. Rundie.

Champs Defeating Wildcats John'Rice led his Flyers to the champîonship of the Rotary Jun- ior Hockey League, scoring 5 of his team's 6 goals as they downed Gordon Sellers' Wildcats 6 to 4. The game was a sudden-death af- fair played Thursday afternoon at Oshawa arena. Flrst Period - The Wildcats drew first blood scoring soon after the period got under way. Sellers notched it on a pass from Bickle. It looked as though the Wildcats might walk away with the game but Fry in the nets rose to the occasion. Then the Flyers began to fight back. Rice scored from Stainton. On the very next play Fry made a spec- tacular save as Charlie Kilpatrick came in close. From then on the Fiyers seemed to dominate the play. Before the period ended both Moffatt and Rice had scored making the score 3 to 1 in favor of the Flyers. Second Period The Wildcats changed goalies to start the second period, Spencer replacing Moorcraft. Kilpatrick Put the Wildcats back in the game when he scored on a pass from Bickle. Then about midway through the period Bfckle tied it up scoring unassisted. The Wild- cats had a chance to take the lead when Moorcraft shot at point blank range, but Fry saved. Then Kilpatrick was in close but miss- ed the net. Just before the end of the period Rice scored giving the Flyers the lead again 4 to 3. Third Period The ice was quite heavy by the third period and this along with the general weariness of the play- ers made for a scrambly period of hockey. Rice opened the scor- ing unassisted when he came in and took the puck from a Wildcat player and went in to score. The next goal was a soft one when Rice scored from the side as both Moffatt and he had previously done. Toward the end of the game the Wildcats began putting on the pressure. They hit the goal post and missed several other good chances. Finally in the last mo- ment of play Kilpatrick scored from Sellers but the Flyers had won the game and the champion- ship 6 to 4. On the whole the game was well played taking into consider- 1ation that many of the boys had- n't been on skates for over a month and also the fact that they were playing on a strange and 1large ice surface. The boys were Iso "awe-stricken" that they didn't 1dare to play dirty hockey and con- [sequently there were no penalties. : The greatest credit for the Fly- ers' win should go to Captain ;John Rice, Jack Moffatt and Glen .Fry in the nets. However, it was .the whole Flyer team that won .the championship and credit ;should be given to the rest of the ,Flyers for their part in the vic- .tory. . The Wildcats went down fight- ing. The game wasn't won unti] .the third period when the Fly- ,ers took the lead 6 to 3. Even then 'the Wildcats did not give up. ,Bickle, Sellers and Charlie Kil- ,3Patrick gave their best in a losing cause. .

Being Re-organized By Lt.-Col. L. Curmel The history of the i lth Ontario Tank Regiment goes back many years and under official sanction it is to be perpetuated as an ef- fective peacetime unit. Its reor- ganization is now taking place vigorously under the commnand of Lt.-Col. L. W. Currell. With a high record of achievement in World War I, the regiment contin- ued to carry on training and to RSM John R. Barker, O.B.E. maintain a fine record of effici- ency ail through the depression years. With this background it went into World War II, to win battie honors in Sicily, Italy and in Western Europe. Calling for returned men to join the unit as a means of perpetu- ating its efficiency, Lt.-Col. Cur- neil, C.O. has found a splendid response. Latest appointment of importance is that of Regimental Sergeant Major John R. Barker, OBE, who has recently acted for his predecessor, RSM John But- ler, during his absence. Mn. But- ler carnied on durîng the latter years of the war. Many other tankmen who saw service are joîning up, once again to put the Sherman tanks through their pa- ces, together with a complete an- ray of vehicles promised by Na- tional Defence Headquarters, Ot- tawa. The appointment of RSM Bar- ker, who served with distinction unden six commanders in Sicily, Italy and Western Europe from the opening gun, was in his miii- tary tradition dating back to World Wan I when he was a cor- poral with the Royal Canadian Dragoons. Later with the Royal Canadian Regiment, he came to Oshawa in 1928 to the Ontario Regiment. He has been a keen sportsman, interested in hockey and rugby and knows how to han- die men. It was the quality of his leadership that led to his OBE in 1943. RSM Barker officially takes ov- er his duties on April 1, and his popularity, together with the highly popular commander, Lt.- Col. L. W. Cunrell, is the main reason for so many of the young sweats of the late war raliying to the ranks to continue the rec- ord of the Ontario Tank Regiment as foremost in this part of Can- ada. Sportsmen Form Durham Federation A meeting of the Durham Fed- eration of Sportsmen was held in Orono on Tuesday night with one hundred members present. The real object of the forming of this federation is to place the community in a position to secure more fish and pheasants. Every- thing has been done to make this federation a success and it is thought that the County of Dur- ham has made a step in the right direction. Albert S. LaBnash, secretary- treasurer of the Ganaraska Fish and Hunt Club, made the follow- ing motion, seconded by Mayor C. G. Morris, Bowmanville, which was carried unanimously: "That we start the formation of a committee immediately, to be known as the Durham Federation of Sportsmen, or some such name, made up from clubs from Bewd- ley, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Port Hope, Orono, and other places that form clubs. These officers were elected: Hon president, Orme Gamsby; president, Stanley Linton, Port Hope; first vice-president, Dr. J. C. Devitt, Bowmanville; second vice-president, Dr. McIXenzie, Or- ono; secretary, A. S. LaBrash, of Port Hope; recording seçretary, C. R. Carveth, Newcastle; iexecutive, Port Hope, Keith Carruthers, and Stanley Froste; Oronp, W. lE. Armstrong and P. M. Ijunn; New- Open for Business Sat. in Cowan Block Opening Saturday, April 6, Mc- Nulty's Sports Shop, is the latest of many new businesses estab- iished in Bowmanville during the past year. It is believed to be the first shop of its kind to open in Bowmanville to specialize in sporting goods and services re- lating thereto. The new store and shop is located at 6 King St. East, in the Cowan Block. Mr. McNulty plans to advertise regulariy in The Statesman to keep his exceptionaily fine line of goods prominentiy before the public and to emphasize that he will be able personaliy to take care of ail repairs required in the wide range falling to his line of business. As a sort of preview the States- man's sports reporter was shown over the newly decorated and completely appointed premises. Ail types of sporting goods are carried, such as bicycles, tricycles, scooters, express wagons, dol carniages, children's musical in- struments, leather goods, zipper bags, crests, sweaters and varied accessories. Among sporting equipment are golf, basebaîl, badminton, tennis, hockey, bats, gloves, everything for outdoor and indoor sports, and we have forgotten much more that might be mentioned. It is, in short, a real high-class sp5ort- ing goods emporium, presided ov- er by a man who has had a not- able careen in athletics. The proprietor, Jack McNulty, was bonn in Dublin, Ireland, in 1906, as his smiling Irish counten- ance reveals. Coming to Canada he became an expert car mechan- ic and for the past five yeans was engaged in airplane engineering in Montreal. He has taken part in athletics even since hie came to Canada, and has won champion- ship cups that are displayed on his shelves. He won tities in boxing in mid- dle and welterweight classes and fought the Canadian welterweight champ, Freddy Taylor, in Toronto, with the late Lou Marsh as ref- eree. More recently he was cap- tain of the Intermediate "A" hock- ey team, Montreal, that was tops in 1936-39. In basebaîl he was on the senior Montreal Airpiane League and he comes direct to Bowmanville from that city. Kepn follower of sports among youth, Mr. McNulty plans to open classes in boxing here if any young fel- lows are interested. The past winter he has been a chief fan with the Pepsi-Cola hockey team.. In his back shop, equipped with power machinery, we saw& his ex- pert hands, welding, brazing, re- pairing and hie also will be equip- ped to turn out duplicate keys, re-tire ahl kinds of toys and bi- cycles. He is a strong supportý.i of the Bicycle Safety Club and was connected with a similar or- ganization in Montreal. A public invitation is extended to visit Mc- Nulty's Sports Shop, opening Sat- urday. ard Toms; Bowmanville, L. God- dard and L. Phair; MiIi' rook, Geo. Thorne, Ed Barnes; Bewdley, Harry Nichoîl, Pete Sydie. This executive will represent the different clubs in the county, and it is believed that now the Federation is formed great bene- fits will likeiy materialize as time goes on. The first meeting of the execu- tive will be held in Orono, on May 21st. S..S. No. 9. Clarke Our Home and School Club met at Chas. Glenney's, Wednesday night.

MIL Prospects Bright for Minor Baseball League The Oshawa Times - Gazette sports editor makes these inter- esting observations in reference to the Minor Basebaîl Associationý in which Bowmanville Rotary team has taken an active part the past two seasons: The Oshawa Minor Basebaîl As- sociation held a iively meeting early this week to discuss plans for the summer season and things look very bright for basebaîl ac- tivity in Oshawa. With a num- ber of boys now too old for the local Mînior League but still un- der the junior age-limit, it is fully expected that thene will be a Junior team operated by the 0. M.B.A. and an attempt will be made to form a league with Whit- by, Bowmanville, Port Hope and Cobourg as entnies. Whitby and Bowmanville are almost certain starters, having had teams for the past two seasons and they too find their players have been get- ting older. The Junior loop will affiliate with the O.B.A. and play for provincial honors. Thene may even be two Oshawa Junior teams. In addition-the original "Juvenile" section of the Minor Association here will be carried on-likery reverting to the origin- al age-limit ruling of "under 18." It is expected four or five Osh- awa teams can be lined up for this loop and an all-star team will be chosen to represent the Associa- tion in the provincial playdowns, Juvenile ranks. 1 to come
