So.

if their first road encounters with the clubs in the southern half of th I.L. loop are any criterion, this year's Royals are going to be there or thereabouts when the league winds up its regular schedule at the end of the first week in September. The only northern club to keep pace with the Royals in these first two weeks has been Syracuse, which cleaned house over the winter, appointed a new manager and made a better and more ef- By FRASER MacDOUGALL (Canadian Press Staff Writer.) Toronto, April 26. "They were too good for us" That's how Coach Hugh O'Leary of Port Arthur Bear Cats summed up the 7-1 trouncing his team took last night from Ottawa's R.C.A.F. Flyers in the deciding game of the best-of-five Allan Cup final series.

His remark was made in the Flyers' dressing room after the game when he came' in to congratulate Coach Bill Touhey and his men on winning the came and the Canadian GET TWO MARKERS EACH be named later, along with a registration committee.

This I jj hat S- boys to go out there and fire for the top of the nets as I felt we'd finally beat the goalie that way. Then we weren't hitting the post either as we had done so often in Wednesday night's game." Pickls MacNichol whose two goals and one assist made him the game's leading onTy one comment: "Was it ever hot?" There was little of that joyous din in the Port Arthur dressing room where Defenceman Bill Maki bluntly told his teammates: "Look, fellows, we didn't deserve to win.

We played lousy hockey." AND SO TO WORK. No one disputed his statement. Young Bud Poile, the Fort William junior who is slated for the ranks of the Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League, summed up the general feeling too: "Just think, well have to go back to work now." Lin McDougall, who was helped from the ice when he was injured during the game, said he was all right. He suffered a side injury, some old bruises being aggravated. Coach O'Leary explained why his team seemed to fall apart after playing rousing hockey in the first period.

"I think our boys played themselves out in their comeback to win the third and games. They just weren't able to keep up the pace. The Flyers had tco much power." The historic Allan Cud. which is Harold Whitlock, Olympic Games walking champion, came out of a two-year retirement and placed no better than fourth in a recent 15-mile race at London.

Twickenham, where tremendous crowds watched peacetime internationals, is closed for the duration. Speaking of his discovery, Williams said, "I got the rugby union to buy their own grounds before all the ground near London had been sold to builders. "We started with 8.000.

Now we have lent 50,000 to union clubs for the purpose of buying ground." fective major-league tie-up. Jewel Ens replaced little Benny Borg- i mann as field leader and Leo Miller, who did such a great Job some years ago in Buffalo's front office, was secured as business-man-agr. Leo Miller and Ray Schalk were a hot pair at Buffalo. Leo had a fine major league connection and knew where to go to get ball players. Schalk managed the team and could do what he liked with the players on the field.

Neither of them was happy when there was a change of ownership at Buffalo and It waa known that both would sctfk new Jobs. As far back as 1936, there. wasa rumor that Millar would become the new president of the International League. The gosMp was that a good many executives in the league wanted him for the office, but he didn't choose to run, so the plum fell into the lap of Frank Shaughnessy, who was hungry for it. Subsequently Miller and Schalk went as a team 1o Indianapolis In the American Association, but they failed to experience the same success there as they had in the International.

According to the stories, each tried to infringe on the other's sphere of operations. Miller tried to tell Schalk what men he should play from day to day. and Schalk quarrelled with Miller over the ball players he should try to get. After the blowoff, Damon went one way and Fythias another. Miller, so they say, was walking around with Cincinnati connection In his pocket, and this was the factor that persuaded the Syracuse club to offer him the front office job.

The Chiefs are off on the right foot, but it's doubtful if they can hold the pace. Right now, there isn't enough power in their lineup to justify their lofty position in the league standing. The Chiefs have been getting some fine pitching from Tom de la Cruz and Red Barrett, but most of their base knocks have come off the bat of Jack Juclich, who Is away over his head. The Chiefs are due to be cooled out soon and it may be that the Royals are th boys to do it when they collida in the opening series at Montreal Stadium starting on Thursday. Invitations, incidentally, are already out to the buffet lunch arranged by President Hector Racine and the directors of the Royals at the St.

Fun for Their Money That is a very generous gesture shared by Jimmy McKimmie and Frank Starr in bringing the Victoria Dominoes here to compete against the Oilers in a series to decide the national senior basketball title. The Victoria five is due to remain here for the better part of the week and the pair are1 guaranteeing the expenses, which could make quite a dent in their pocketbooks if the series doesn't draw. Jimmy, in particular, has never been reluctant to shell out in the interest of a sport he likrd.

In bygone years he made considerable money out of boxing, when ht promoted show across the Hut his flyers along this line in Montreal in reewt years have put him deep in the red. Yet he seems to feel that the fun he had out of the.e ventures was worth the money. He has the same approach to basketball. It was laft January that we asked Johnny Ferraro if Jimmy stayed very close to the Oilers. "He's busy with war contracts ar.d all that right now," Johnny said, "but ay, isn't he a funny guy? I called him up a couple of nights ago to ask him why he hadn't come out to watch the team play.

He thought I'd called him to put the bite on him for some money and he asked me, 'How much do you When I told him why I'd called him up he was surprised. 'You're sure you don't need any money? he said. 'I was expecting you( to ask me for some before Both McKimmie and Starr could have called It a day after the Oilers beat the Trenton Flyers and been money in the pocket; the Uam had actually made money up to that point. But both backers Insisted that the team go after tbe national titiej Now they are in a position where they may take it on the chin for several hundred dollars apiece. No Way to Treat the Boss Remember Fidel Labarba? A story about him has just reached us.

Labarba. a college man, was ambitious to have a career as a (Continued on Page 21.) going back to Ottawa for the first balance, which came when the registration was 519 less Uian that of the previous year, indicated careful handling by the men in charge, and the heads of the association were re-elected en bloc, a mark of tribute' for their efforts. This past season 3,558 players were registered, as compared to 4.077 the previous year. Montreal led in registration with 2.274, 511 in Quebec, 403 in Sherbrooke and 370 in Three Rivers.

The receipts amounted to $8,353.76 and expenses $6,782.14. Two changes for the constitution covering powers of the Executive Committee, 'presented by Leo Burns and seconded by Phil Kelly, were disallowed. The Minor Board was given power to hand out suspensions and also to vote at the annual meeting on matters pertaining to Minor activities. The Quebec district's request that members of the Executive Committee can not hold office in any league was turned down since it was out of order. The Quebec request for no outside referees in any Q.A.H.A.

game was also disallowed. Final dates for signing players, January 15 for senior A and Intermediate A and Junior A cluos Bnd all other groups January 25, were suggested by Quebec. President Dawe in his reviewed the season, made a plea for more support for military organizations, and outlined the association's film "Hockey Fundamentals" which has received nationwide comment. Few changes in constitution or bylaws were put through. The major discussion of the afternoon came from a request from the Montreal and District League that two delegates be named from the Senior League to the Executive Committee.

This was whittled down to one, who will be named later. PLAYOFF GAME AIRED. Before this motion was put through a lively discussion took place between President Azarie Choquette and Secretary Buster Horwood of the Montreal and District League and George M. Slater of the Quebec Senior Hockey League. The recent playoff game between Shawinigan Falls and Quebec Aces was mentioned in this discussion, with hints presented from the M.

and D. men tnat the Q.S.H.L. outfit was "afraid to play the M. and D. winner." This Another Addition to a Famous Line I gatania "CRUISER" EATONIA proudly presents another member of this famous line! Here is a shoe designed for comfort besides affording durability -and smartness.
