New Catcher

Ke)/ToSuccess O f P i r a t e s

(This is tba fifth of a series of

prospects of major league baseball clubs.)

By Felix B. McKnight. Associated Press Sports Writer (By Gnardiank Special Wire) SAN ANTONIO. Texas, March 12.

-_Alfred Chester Todd, s stony vis- aged catcher, holds the pennant hopes of Pittsburgh Pirates in his big mitt. Hell bo "quarterback" for a crew of veterans in his freshmen year with tba club. V

“Last year we finished fourth,"

mused manager “Pie” Traynor. “It wasn’t the pitching-it wasn’t the hitting. It was trouble behind the plate. We believe we have the solu- tion in Todd." , ‘

Todd was obtained from the Phil-

lies. He is hitting at a merry pace in spring training. Last year he slipped to .289 after a .314 in 1934 but Traynor thinks he will retum above the .300 mark.

"It looks as if Cy Blanton and

Bill Swift, the lea.gue’s two leading pitchers in effectiveness last year. will have great seasons, Traynor said. “They won~33 games last year and should do even better."

Ready for s regular berth is Mace

Brown from 'I\1isa. of the Texas league, who won four and lost one with the Pirates lost year. John Tising, a rookie from Louisville in the American Association, appears the cream of the freshman crop.

The veterans Jim Weaver, Guy

Bush, “Red” Lucas and Ralph Birk- ofer round out the list of mainstays, with Waite Hoyt for relief.

“Last year we finished last in

double plays. It`ll be different this year. 'Pep' Young at second will see to that. We`ll climb four or five notches in that department." Tray- nor predicted.

The veteran "Pie" will be in the

Traynor-to-Vaughan-to-Suhr com- binatlon. “Arky" Vaughan, whose .385 aver- age led the league last year, is dam- aging fences in practice. James Earl Browne. who socked .344 as first seeker for Little Rock in the Southem Association. and the giant Bernard Cobb, slugging first base- man of Fort Wayne with a .382 average. look good to Traynor.

Paul Waner, cheery lisle veteran

who batted about 321 1 year, will roam right field and Forrest Jensen has left field cinched. The centre- field post. vacant while Lloyd Wan- er recovers from pneumonia. that will keep him out at least two months, goes to Fred Schulte, waiv- ed out of the American League by Washington, or Daniel Hafey, pos- sessor of one of the best throwing amis in baseball.

the Maroons, coached by Dud James of Moncton Hawks fame used a sturdy defensive style with a sleeping passing' attack to out score the fighting Bulldogs by finished worlunanship around the

goal.

Antigonish, playing their home

game on Halifax ice, seemed at u riisadvaniage on the large surface but controlled the play from the opening wh'stle with an aggressive but disorganized attack. Less than a minute after the

start of the game MacDonald, An- tigonlsh forward, drove a. scorcher at Barton from close in and started an offensive that kept the Maroons tied up dfep in their ownl territory. McKenna and lrvlnt¢` McCilbbon both tested Barton be- fore the veteran Kenny Carroll opened the Moncton attack with a quick breakaway which carried him right through the Purcell- MacNei1 defence, but McGilllvray outguessed him with a fine save.

Midway in the first period

Dickie grabbed' the puck at his own blueline and left the Bulldog for- wards far behind. Fooling the do- fence, he broke in on McGi.llivray. aimed deliberately, and scored.

Wins From Bedeque 3-1

In the first game of the playoffs

for the Lea. and Wright trophy at Kensington rink on Wednesday night March 11th, the Silver Wings were victorious over their fast skating and hard working rivals the Bedeque Maple Leafs by a score of 3-1.

The ice was in a very soft, slushy condition which makes it hard for even n connoiseur of the great game to Judge the real merits of the teams with any degree of certainty. It would‘nt be surprising to see the outcome reversed when those teams meet again on Friday night at Be- deque, rink. The Bedeque team were 'driven overland in a two horse cutter by taximan Earl Noonan of Bedeque.

The Beavers received a generous

"band" from Remington fans when they dented the twine behind Champion for the first goal of the melee. Kensington evened the score early in the second period and by clever work with a modicum of good luck. added two more before the final bell. Very few penalties were dispensed, both teams playing fan "Alphonse and Gaston" game. It is a noticeable fact that the great number of games played in Kensington rink during the past winter have beencharacterized by the most gentlemanly conduct on the part. of the players. The boys do their level best on all occaiions for the love of the game and the glory of winning-the genuine psy- ehology of amateurism. The fair- ness and precision of those referees in charge no doubt contribute in no small degree to that end.

6-3; Maroons

(C. P. By Guardiank Special Wire) MONTREAL, March 12.-Toronto

Maple Leafs, with curly-haired Bill Thoms playing the star role, staged a six-goal scoring outburst in the third period here tonight to defeat Montreal Canadiens 6-3 and end virtually all hops of the French team entering the National Hockey League playoffs.

Thoms was the hero of a dazzling

assault, scoring three goals himself and passing to Buzz Boll for a fourth. The centre players sniping made him the first player in the League to score 20 goals this season. His total was boosted to 21. Charlie Conacher of the Leafs raised his total to 20 with one goal.

Holding grimiy to their slender

chance of overhauling the third- place New York Americans for tho last playoff berth in the Canadian section, Canadiens made 9. great stand for two and a half periods. The defeat left them five points be- hind Americans with _only four games to play.

Three misconduct penalties and a

private feud between manager Conny Smythe of Leafs and man- ager Sylvio Mantha of Canadiens featured the first period in which the Montreal team built up a 2-0 lead. Leroy Goldsworthy and Jack McGill did the scoring.

The real excitement came as the

Period ended. Horner and Paul Haynes of Canadiens started a fight on the ice and were still at it when they skated off. In the milling be- side the players' benches, Smythe took a few punches at Mantha. The referees stopped this and Homer and Haynes drew misconduct pen- aities.

Trailing 2-0 and facing the pros-_

pect of Montreal Maroons gaining first place in the group by tying Chicago, the Leafs opened up in the second period without success. Wilf Ouds held of! the Leafs until the start of the third.

Then Thorns opened an attack

that netted six goals and put To- ronto alone on top of the standing, leading Maroons by a single point. The centre star bagged two within two and a half minutes, the first on Hornsr’s pass.

Aural Joliatput Canadiens ahead

again but Joe Primeau scored with a long shot and Conscher sent To- ronto ahead for keeps on Boll’s pass. Boll and Thoms both scored in the final minute.

Wales has drawn with scotland and defeated England so far this season while the Scots ov- ercame Ireland and at present thc countries are bracketed with three points each. Erin's colors were also lowered by Emglsnd so the Welsh- men's chances are thought to be particularly bright. -

For years the Wélsh were regard-

ed as among the finest exponents of the ruggor code in the world and tha youth of the country knew only the oval type offootball. since the turn of the century association football has spread rapidly how- ever, and the game now boasts thousands of adherents and many professional clubs.

It was not until 1007 that Wales

won its first international cham- pionship and 18 years elapsed before the feat was duplicated. Inxrther honors were won in 1924. 1938. 1933 and 1994.

Scouts for miglish and scottish

clubs have found their activities in Wales and Ireland very profitable and the exodus of promising ploy- ers has handicapped these coun- tries in putting strong teams in the field for international tussles. when all such matches were played on

gggurdays offlcigls of English clubs

reluctant to weaken teams for

S05 for midweek. when the vnmes" met scot-

land Oct. 5 the difficulties undef which their selectors worked was shown by the .fact that several

players on English clubs decided to

help their teams fight for lenmw points rather than accept interna- tional caps. In this case the Wvl-*ll eleven was completed two days bc-

fon the match.
