Dmt 20 TOT OTTAWA JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21. 1I5L RCAF Takes Playoff Opener From Cornwall The Sport HScaltn By BILL WESTW1CK 1HE Ontario Raclnf Commission Anally has turned down the mova to have night harness racing at Thornclifle this year. This action was taken by the commission, but it had rather interesting follow-up In the speech of Premier Frost in the Legislature last night. The commission made its decision, and that could have been an end to It. Instead Premier Frost spoke on the subject last night and, to our way ol thinking, might well have furgotten all about it We doubt that his words made much of an impression on anyone who makes the rounds in sport Premier Frost's solicitude for the working man has a com mendable ring to it, but mora consistent attitude towards the problem of gambling is needed before he will make an impression with the people of Ontario who know what's going on.

If Mr. Frost is concerned about the problem of gambling and there seems no doubt that he Is the question arises in the ordinary readers mmd as to why he doesn lead a movement to reduce It The thoroughbreds run in the daytime with a very good public gambling response. The standard-bred owners hive not been able to compete with them so tar in the daylight, but the natural impulse Is to appeal to customers under conditions acceptable across the border. THERE ARE DIFFERENT VIEWS. The government's argument on this angle might be that If the harness horse operators can't compete with the thoroughbreds during daytime there is no reason why they should be handed any concessions.

That's an argument, but it's along the ssme line of those who claim that golf and tennis clubs, offer enough recreational outlets for the ordinary man on a Sunday. It might Just happen and it has happened in many communities that the ordinary man hasn't the ready cash to spend bis Sundays at golf or tennis clubs. On top of that he may have decided he doesn't want to spend his Sundays playing golf or tennis, or anything rise, and that he wants to look at a baseball or hockey game. That's up to the majority, and the democratic way is to leave such matters to a vote. There is no doubt that Premier Frost has strong feelings about the subject of night harness racing.

But his solicitude for the way the common man is spending his money might probably strike a more understandable Yiote if he moved to reduce other sources of spending The Dominion Government has acted to curtail spending in other spheres. The Ontario premier makes answer to the standard-bred owners' request with the claim he is afraid of racketeers' money from Detroit and other U.S. points taking over. If there is danger of this developing in the harness racing game, many will wonder how much concern is being shown in the field of thoroughbred racing. There has been r.o suggestion by the premier that racketeers from Detroit are Involved in the thoroughbred sport It is very doubtful that Ottawa Valley harness racing men who recently voted in favor of the night sport will be too satisfied with the explanations offered.

ANOTHER 8TART FOR SENATORS. Senators go back into action tonight in an effort to even up with Quebec Aces in their QSHL semi-final aeries. They expect to have the same lineup that beat Sherbrook in their deciding game last Saturday. If they have, and they're ail in good shape and In the same humor as they were against the Saints last Saturday, the Barber Poles might well even up this series. There wasn't, by the way, anything wrong with the effort in Quebec on Sunday, but the presence of Robinson and Emberg in good condition should make a difference tonight.

If expressions of opinion by the players and management mean anything. Senators are not as much worried about Quebec as they were at one stage of the Sherbrooke series. Bill Durnan. for one, said the other night: "If Sundsy's play was the best Quebec can offer under the circumstances on home ice, we'll take them in this series." The Ottawa leader had In mind the fact that the overworked and Injury-riddled Senators came cloae to an even break In the last minute. The Aces had the benefit of a rest then but they had to come from behind to take a victory.

Even then it was "tick and as one of our better-known hockey managers would say. The Aces have had this suggested to them before now. Coach "Punch" Imlach has had it brought to nil attention since the opening game, but he counters with the claim that his players "normally haven't too much trouble winning on their There was one night, of course, that Imlach didn't mention. That was the game Senators hammered them 9-2 only to take a later 7-2 welting right at home. For Ottawa It Is a game they must win to stay in the thick of the hunt.

They return after the struggle to Quebec where the Aces always figure to have an edge. BOULEVARD BANTER. Senators are minus a couple of good rooters for their series with Quebec Aces. Both, by the way. are "Bud" Clark, the former Olympic skier and a keen follower of the red, white and black, leaves today for Banff, where he will take a hand In the selection Of Canada's Olympic team.

Meanwhile Inspector of Detectives "Bud" Hobbs is in the West, reportedly on the trail of a Jewel thief. There are few keener followers of sport here than Inspector Hobbs. Not so long ago this corner received a letter from Charlie Smith, the Quebec Aces executive, pointing out that we erred in suggesting Mark Drouin had any connection witn the Quebec Aces. This bureau had made mention of Drouin's connection with the Aces in reference to a Quebec League meeting. On the advice of Charlie Smith we made a correction.

it's a little confusing to read In the Quebec Chronicle the following words from well-informed Louis Fusk: "The players (Quebec) got a lift before the game (with Senators), however, when the Exhibition Commission gave each player a cheque for $30 for reaching the semi-final series, and then club vice-president Mark Drouin chipped in with 115 apiece. Rough Rider coach Clem Crowe hasn't made up his mind on a line coach for this season. Clem had one man in mind who handled the sama duties with Baltimore, but the assistant Is considering an offer from Montreal and he'd have to be away below the figure mentioned before Riders are interested. Leafs Contribute To Holota Fund TORONTO, March 2 1 CF Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday made a substantial contribution to a fund to aid the widow of Johnny Holota, Denver, hockey player killed in a car accident last week. Before yesterday's practice, coach Joe Primeau of the National League club read a letter from Hal Jackson, former teammate of Holota, asking that players give $1 each toward the fund.

RCAF Flyers, who came out on Use short end of most of their season encounters with Cornwall Calumets, showed little respect last night for the Cals' scoring prowess. At hockey. Air Force won the first game of their best' of-seven final series 6-4 with ease. But in extra-curricular activities, with glove, elbow and stick, Cornwall were masters and the Flyers respected them for it That was the only reason the score was Just 6-4.

The Airmen Bad reason for avoiding battle. Games In the series will be played every night this week, with the second tonight la Cornwall. Against as ragged a team as Cornwall they will need all the rest they can get if they re to go Into Allan Cap play-downs. The tenor of the game was announced early. Just three minutes were gone when Boo Greenlaw, of the Flyers, roughed a Cornwall player.

Others steamed to the scene and focus of the fight abruptly switched. Emerton Mangles Menehlnl. Eddie Emerton, a placid big defenceman most of the time. nd Flyers All Menchini. a wingman with size but not gen- erslly a rough player, both arrived on the scene at the same time.

Alter a anorv Emerton cradled Menchini head under an arm and with numnina labs proceeded to reduce him to hamburger from the top down. By the time they were broken apart, covered with blood, apparently most of it Menchini s. the Flyer winger had several messy cuts about his face and a possible fractured nose. To prevent a repetition referee Hap Shouldke threw the book at the culprits, handing out: 1. A minor tor roughing to Greenlaw; 2.

A minor for roughing, a minor for high-sticking, a major for fighting and a match misconduct to Emerton; 3. A major for fighting and a match misconduct to Menchini. Veterans Star. Heavy going, however, didn't hake veteran stars like Johnny Quilty, Tony Licarl and Shep Mayer. Before the penalties were worked out Quilty rapped in a screened shot from back on the blue line.

Then Llcari and Mayer look over and their performance left nothing to be desired. Licarl got three more and set up one for George Robinson. Mayer scored once, drew assists on two of his centre's goals and played the hardest hitting game of the night for the Flyers. After Quilty's goal Calumets made a determined bid to get back on even terms and though short a man. did so.

Side-stepping the bone-shattering checks the husky Cornwall Club were handing out. Flyers side-stepped once too often without the puck. Jim Denneny broke for a goal with McKeown and Kellogg assisting. I Llcari Gets Hot. Then Licarl went.

First he fired a shot on goal, while both teams were a man short that George Robinson tipped in. With Bobby Dennison, in the second, he beat a single defenceman in a race for a rink-wide pass to score. Then less than a minute later he went almost into the crease to take a Mayer rebound and flip It over goalie Buckley in the Cals net. Again Flyers got careless. With IS seconds left in the second Cornwall wangled a face-off in the corner and bulled In on goal, Bert Lilly converting passes from Garand and Gene-reux for a goal.

And though the Cilumeta fought hard getting two more goals, one each by Bert Lilly and Pete Payette, the best they could claim was victory In the night's several rough and tumbles. The hard-hitting hockey kept up through the game with each team sending players Into the medical room for repairs. Worst was to Bobby Dennison, ground Into the boards behind the Calumet net, for what was feared at first to be a minor concussion.

After treatment for cuts on his face, however, he was allowed to go homo. A spectator cut In the cheek with a Cying puck required a mail stitching Job as well. Cornwall Goal, Buckley; defence, Bingley, Emerton; centre, Genereux; wings, Garand, Lilly; subs, Kellogg, McKeown, Denneny. Long. J.

Mary's HALIFAX, March 21. (Special) Ottawa Valley Junior hockey champions Inkerman Rockets, boosted by three players received from the St Charles team, arrived here last night to meet Halifax St Mary's, Maritime Junior tltleholders. In tha Memorial Cup playdowns. Several members of the St Mary's club were on hand at the CNR's Union Station to greet the Rockets, whom they last played in 1848. That was tha year the Irish eliminated the Rockets and in turn fell before the Montreal district winners.

Two of the Inkerman players, Denzil Crow-der and Cliff Baldwin were with the club that year. Coach Lloyd Laporte felt the three St Charles men, Jacques Limoges, Rheo Dagenals, and Ronald Flnnlgan, would be a big help against tha bigger Halifax club. Inkerman have 18 players for the series. Arriving with tha team were manager Delmer Timmins, club president Frank Bailey and Mrs. Laporte.

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Dlguer, parents of Rockets' goalie Ron Dlguer, also made the trip and will be among the spectators Wednesday night when Halifax senior St. Mary's meet Charlot-tetown Islanders in the semifinals of the Maritime major hockey championships. They have a special reason.
