A11 - Negro Line Big Drawing Card On Quebec Senior League Team

SIHIERBROOIG, Que, Nov. 29 - (CPl-When Herbie Carnegie de- cided to turn down a professional offer with the New York Rangers’ hockey organization this fall it was the best thing that has happened to the Quebec Senior Hockey Lea- gue in many a season.

Carnegie had a chance to play with New Haven Ramblers and later move up to the parent Rang- ers in the National League but he stuck with the local team and thus re-united after one season‘: separ- ation one of the biggest drawing cards in the circuit-the all-Negro line.

Back in 1942 Herbie and his brother, Ossie. Toronto boys, were playing for Buffalo Ankerites in Northern Ontario. Someone passed the word along to another Negro hockey player, Manny MacIniyre of Fredericton. who was playing for Truro, NS. Bears-ans.

Manny wrote Ossie suggesting formation of an ail-Negro line ‘Inc Ankeritcs management jumped like a puck bouncing off the backboards. sent ‘Manny a. railway ticket and thus came into being the widely- knmvn, highly-rated ‘colorerf’ line.

This ccmbination may be black but the color oi’ the coin 1'. has brought into the coffers of rinks throughout Quebec is gold. The fans pay to see them play and the Carnegies and McIntyre, all cf pro- fessional calibre, give them their money's worth.

Sherbrooke has brought out the top attendance for the season in every arena. it has played in so far this year.

No one questions that it is the Negro line that. is the big attract- ion although Sherbrooke has a well-balanced club that has been close on the heels of the leading Montreal Royals since the season began.

since 1942 the line has played as a unit for Quebec and Ontario teams with only two breaks. Mc- Intyre was in the army in i943 and he and Ossie played in Paris last season.

“We think we still have several good years together ahead of us,‘ Herbie said in an interview. "\Ve haven't hit our stride yet this year. but when the going gets tough lat- er in the season we hope to be clicking."

These boys have no special sys- tem for their play which is one oi’ the top goal-producers in amateur hockey.

“We play it as we see it." said Herbie. “We usually know what the other man is going to do, because we've been together a lot. but we have ‘no signals or anything like that."

The line hasn't been banging in the goals with customary reflulor- ity this year and the chief reason probably is that opposinl Win15 play their strongest lines against them and the Negro boys have more checking to do.

In the Q.S.H.L. for the first time. the Negroes find their opponents smarter but no faster sic-item's than those in Quebec Provincial League where they played before.

"You have to be on your toes all the time," Herbie said. “This ls a more interesting league, too. Even the last team will always give you l battle."

There are no racial problems with these three.

“We've always been treated well," Manny said. "There hes been no trouble at all. And all the boys on the opposing teams have treated us well, no differently from the other players.”

The trio are well liked by their own players and fans and business manager Forest Keene of the Siber- brooke Club calls them "the three of the finest chaps to handle I've ever met up with."

Herbie, the centre, is 2'! and the father of three chlldren-Jtwo girls on the wing and a boy at centre." Dale, his six-year - old son, has lkated for two years and his dad thinks he may follow in his foot- iteps. His daughters, Goldie Mae mci Bernice Yvonne, are seven and lhree.

Ossic, right wing. is married too but has no children. He is .10 and lives here, whereas Herbie’; hrme ls in Toronto. Manny is 27 and slnkle and plays semi-pro hast-bah in the siz-mmer.

Britital (liking Glancy For Refereeing Job

By BILL GRAHAM

MONTREAL, Nov. 29 -— iClP)— with nasty gleams in their eyei- Montreal hockey scribes dived for their trusty typewriters to let 8° a blast of scathing criticism at referee Kin! 311ml’ — a Dimer himself during his playing days - for his handling of the Toronto- Montreal slug-fest in the Forum last Thursday.

Clancy dished out 10 majors and 14 minors in the rouzh-and-ready tilt which the Leafs won 2-0.

There were two major riots i-n the second period and at one point there were l0 players watch- mg the game from the penalty box.

Says Fergie:

“One of the constructive things about the blood-and-munder hoc- key battle is that it was broad- cast by CBC international service to Latin-America, where bull- fighting, a comparatively tame form of blood-letting. is the na- tional spcrt up to now. - that is it has been, up to now."

A little more of that and they will drop bull-fighting for being too tame says Fkzrgie.

Fergie says Clancy told him af- ter the game that the crack on Kenny MosdelPs head by Gus Morison, Leaf defenceman, that started off the first fight, was an accident.

"If that's the case." Ferguson cracks, "then it was an accident when Jack Dempsey hit Jess Wil- lard on the chin at ’f‘oledo."

Interest and activity is increas- ing daily in local basketball circles. and with a meeting of the City Basketball League scheduled for to- night at 7 o'clock at the Travel Bureau, it shouldn't be long before the City League hoopsters will be seen in action in regular scheduled

competition. O

Information as to just how many entries will be forthcoming for this season's play will no doubt be brought out at tonight's meeting. which will in all probability in- clude representatives of S. D. U., P. \V. C., Navy, Abbies, Ray's Million- aires and the Summerslde. R. C. A. F., although at the moment this is only speculation on the part of this

column.

Some of these squads have been active this year already as for as practice sessions and exhibition game are concerned, with the Mill- ionaires and the Summerside R. C. A. F. squads already having spilt a game apiece in two exhibition en- counters, with the latter quintette getting an additional two games under their belts last Friday and Saturday nights at the Western Capital against a strong band of lioopsters from the U. S. Air Base at Harmon Field. with the Western boys going down to defeat on both counts. The Navy and Millionaires were scheduled to play an exhibi- tion game here last Saturday night. but the game was called off due to the fact that the P. \V. C. Auditor- ium was being used for other acti-

vitles. O O

Although the Ahbies have not played any games this season so far, they got in a good work-out session last night, and from all oc- counts will be able to floor a strong aggressive team for the coming season. It was learned yesterday that plans are afoot to have the Mount Allison University squad over here on or about December fourth to meet the Abbies in an exhibition encounter, although no definite information has been re- leased as yet.

O O O \

Tonight's City Hockey League encounter at the Forum between Saint Dunstan's University and the Summerslde All Stars will be the halfway mark in the first section of League competition and will complete the cycle of each team having OPDoscd the others once so far this season.

e

A win for the Saints tonight will Put them in second place over Prmce of Wales who are tied with them in that position at the pre- sent time, while a victory for the All Stars will leave all three teams tied for second place in the League standing with two points apiece, with the League leaders, Navy, lit- ting pretty on top of the heap with a substantiabfoiir ‘point majority.

With the Western boys striving to work their way out ‘of the cel- lar position and the S. D. U. squad flying to close the gap between themselves and the Navy, tonight‘; game should be an all out affair. and due_i.o the fact that this will be the first meeting of the" two teams. it would be a futile effort on the part of this column to try and speculate the outcome of tonight's tussle.

According to Baz (Montreal Dally Star) O'Mez\ra: There are a lot of rising temperatures around Mont- real lately because so many think that National Hockey League re- ferees are pursuing a fish for one and flesh for another policy in handing out penalties. To put it bluntly they think N.H.L. referees are discriminating against Cana- diens. In that viewpoint we do not concur. To be more specific, our old friend King Clancy is the tar. get for caustic criticism, because he didn't give a match penalty to Mortson last Thursday night when the latter apparently cut Ken Mos- dell for four head stitches in a melee in the second period. O O O O

First we will give you the Clancy version of the affair which preci- pitated wild, and we think, some- what revoltlng scenes in the tur- bulent second period, when ten players were jammed in the pen- alty box, and eight majors, probab- ly a league record for one period, were ladled out. We sought out Clancy after the game and asked hlm why he didn't give a match penalty to Morison for cutting Mosdell in what was apparently u deliberate attempt tn injure an op- ponent. Mortson took a full length cut at Moldell and broke his stick in hitting hlm.

I O O O

"He didn't cut hlm on the head.

He hit him on the shoulder," laid the King. “when how was he cut?" we alk- "HB 19118111 with Meeker who was 0h 10D of hlm on the ice for one thing."

Did Meeker kick hlm with his lklile. because it is obvious‘ he didn't hit hlm with a stick, as he didn't have one in his hand when they tangled?"

Saint Dunstan‘: University and] Summerslde All Stars will meet forI the first time this year in a City Hockey League encounter at the: Forum tonight, which will be the! halfway mark in the first section of City League competition.

The game is expected to be a wide-open encounter all the way and both teams will be striving their best for victory as tonight's results will determine whether or not the Saints will consolidate their second place position in the League just two points down from the Navy who are leading the ser- ies. or end up in a three-way tie

with Summerslde and P. W. C. for second place.

A win will be of particular sig- nificance to the All Stars, as it will at least put them on an even keel with S.D.U. and P.W.C. whereas a loss will leave them in the cellar position a full six points behind the League leaders.

In any event these reasons, plus the usual keen rivalry between the two Island capitals, should be suf- ficient to make tonight's encounter an action-packed affair and give to ls

Santamarians twice held two-goal margins but failed to hold them as Arrows put on furious rallies. Cap- tain Larry Dunviile‘s goal in the first minute of the third period not only won the game for the harbor town team but marked the first time that Arrows had been ahead of their rivals.

Jack Donlevy, making his first appearance as a senior on Halifax ice. turned in a spectacular puck- stopping display between the pipes for St. Mary's.

St. Mary's were minus Jimmy Gray and Pat Powers, out with in- juries. Dartmouth missod Lou Milnni but had Joe Lay back in uniform. It was also announced be- fore game time the Wellington bro- thers-Eddie and Len— had been given their releases.

Boudreau Named Most Valuable In

American League

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 -— (AP)

— Lou Boudreau, player-manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians. has been named most valuable player in the American League for 1948.

It was strictly "no contest" al-

though the voting closed before the World Series. The 24-man com- mittee of the Association Cleveland had won the pennant when margin in first place votes over Joe Dimaggio of New York Yankees.

it gave Boudreau a 22-2

Ed Burns of the Chicago Tribune,

retiring president of the writers organization, announced the final total of the votes figured on the basis of 14 points for first, 9 for second and so on down to one for

tenth. Boudreau scored 324 points. Dimaggio, 1947 winner. was sec-

ond with 213 on the basis of his fine performance that kept t-he Yank; in the race until the end. Ted Williams of Boston Red Sox,

who lost to Dimaggio by one point

last year. was third with 171. Not

a single fLrst. place vole was cast for Ted. who won the batting

championship.

Boudreau had a remarkable year that made the actual voting a foregone conclusion. Playing 152 games at shortstop, he hit .355

“Why didn't y ' when he was hitmlliygdvitlzkgsnalty

That w“ it"s-la iuoraeu.

So we went back to Clancy who already had admitted that Mortson had hit Mosdell. He concede‘ that Morison wasn't giving hlm e love tap, but he intimated that because he hadn't actually hit hlm on the head he didn't impose a match penalty.

Slow afoot because of weak ankles, Boudreau made up for lsck of speed by an uncanny ability to shift with the hitters. He is probably the best in the business at double plays with his quick throw.

At the plate, Boudreau is a cagy. efficient hitter. He slashes to all fields and also hits for home-run power.

As manager he worked out the tricky pick-off play that ’ ell the furore in the World Berries. He juggled his ball club, which wasn't supposed to have a chance. until it became a pennant con- tender and finally won the big prize on the day after the regular season ended.
