Hartnett Not Yet Ready To Hang-up Mit

B)’ WILLIAM WEEKEB

Associated Press Sports Writer

CHICAGO, Dec. 28—-(AP)-'I‘.'l:le

lboy dreaming of major league base- ball fame should ask his old man to buy him a. big mitt and a mask. So says Charles Leo "Gabby" Hart- nett, the Chicago Cubs great catch:- er.

Hartnett, tops at fielding his po- sition in the National League for the last three seasons. looked up from a. detail of hisinsurancc busi- ness today to observe that excep- tional young receivers are almost. as scarce as left handed violinists. So rare are they that major league scouts almost trample each other to death in the rush whli l mos- pect is reported. '

"I know of only three outstand- ing kid mtchers in our league," he said, “and the Cubs have two of them. Ken O'Dea. and Waiter Ste- phenson. I haven't seen him, but everyone said this Arnold Owen the Cardinals are bringing up from Columbus is a real comer.

"Maybe kids these days don't care to work as hard at baseball as a. catcher has to." he said, and the 'd.imple in his right cheek deepened ‘as he added, “or maybe they are getting smarter than they used to be. But. seriously, there ls going to be a lot of room for youngsters to move in when us old gllys quit."

Busily occupied during the oif‘ season with his family, business. hunting trips, handball, and ban- quet attending, Hartnett figures to catch Cub pitching in 100 or more games for the eighth consecutive season and the 11th of his major league career, in 1937.

‘I read somewhere that I won't catch more than '75 games next season," he laughed. "but unless I get hurt or someone else gets pret- ty hot, I'll be good for more than 100. I'm in good shape now- Weigh about 215 pounds, the saute as I did last summer, so all I'll have to do is sharpen up the eye for those base hits.”

Amherst Team May Play Here Ne w Ye a r ’s

When Lowther last came hem with his team, he handed the Roy- als, Island Junior champions, a 6-0 setback. This year, according to re- ports the Canucks rank higher than ever with a. few new faces and a. year's experience.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) WINNIPEG, Dec. 28-Ant.hony “Tony" Glngras, of Stanley Cup fame 36 yea-rs ago, would like to see any modern hockey team play ‘just one game of seven-man hoc- key no substitutions. The boys nowadays couldn't stand the pace. he thinks. *|:

McLean Loop Prepares For Big Season

The annual meeting of the Mac- Iean Hockey League was held yes- tel-day at Sumlnerside, the President W. W. Mutter-t, occupied the chair.

The President 1n a review of last season's work complimented Borden on winning the cup and said with senior hockey beck in the field, the intermediate leagues would huve more evenly matched teams which should make good intermediate hoc- key. The financial statement show- ed s. small balance.

OTTAWA, Dec. 28—Whi1e parlia- ment hill has been wrapped 1n hoi- iday silence since Christmas eve, an atmosphere that will prevail gener- ally until after the new year, much activity continued among those ministers who remained in the cap- ital, oocupled with the heavy tasks incidental to early opening of par- liament.

Prime lviinister Mackenzie Kin; paused only briefly in his work to observe the Christmas holiday and pay a short visit to his country home in the Gatineau hills. But for the most part he has been busily engaged on preparation of the leg- islative program and handling his heavy correspondence.

Finance Minister Dunning, with heavy refunding due next year, has already made a. start and on Christ- mas eve announced that he had 0D~ ened negotiations in New York for a. bond issue there to meet a $90,- 000,000 maturity of tax exempt wal- bonds due for redemption next March. Most of these securities are held in the United States'and are payable in New York.

Hon. J. "G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, was busy through the holidays on new marketing ar- rangements in keeping with his pol- icy to reorganize his department aiong lines that will pay greater attention to the dlslwsel of fem products both at home and abroad‘.

NORTH BAY BOASTS THREE ll.H.L. STARS

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Win) NORTH BAY, Ont., Dec. 28- ‘North Bay, celebrating its first ,.closed rink in nine years, today l pointed with pride to its third con- tribution to current major league hockey—Pete Palangio. The big Italian who left these parts just before the old rink burned in 1928 now wears Chicago Black Hawks livery. ~ _ ,

Pete, whose goal-getting ability with St. Louis Flyers of the Am- erican Association attmcted Chic- ago National League scouts, was among North Bay's luckier hockey hopefuls. After he left to make a living from his favorite sport, the city struggled along trylnll to build hockey players on open-air rinks —and not without success

A staunch son of the gateway city to northern Ontario's gold fields, Palanglo returned every summer and was always hopeful there soon would be a new-deal in stone for the youngsters. His dream along with that of many others came true tht kill-a new, modem ice palace was constructed thanks to community effort.

No longer can North Bay be list- ed as Canada's only rinkless city. Enthusiasts hope tire day is not far distant when the name of North Bay ‘Irappers will be feared in junior and senior circles throughout the Dominion as it was r. decade ago.

But during the rlnkless span the l game was kept alive and emerging

from northern bllzzards as they battled with their mates in sub- zero weather came two big-time stars—Bob Gracie and Pep Kelly. Both boys got additional schooling in Toronto junior ranks before they turned professional but it was on open air rinks here they got their start.

Like curly-headed Peter. Gracie and Kelly visit North Bay each summer. Palanglo was a star mem- ber of the Junior ‘Prappers in 1926-27 when they bowed to Iro- q Lois Falls likkimos in the North- ern Ontario finals. Both Bob and Pep had distinguished themselves here before going to Toronto.

Now the city which hopes to provide first skating facilities for the Dionne quintuplets, born 12 miles from here, intends to produce first-class material on a larger scale. Such stars as Duke Keats, Dr. Stan Brown, Porky Levine, Gerry Lowrey, Stan McCabe, Leo Bourgeault, Sparky Vail and Elmer Maracle were developed in North 81y when hockey was at its peak.
