Cleveland Indians Voted Team Of The Year In United States

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 — (AP) — The world champion Cleveland Indians were voted the outstaticling teem of 1948 in the United States in the annual poll of sports writers by the Associated Press.

0f the 98 voting. 28 named the Indians as their no. i choice. 27 es their second choice and l6 pick- ld them third. ‘Phat gave the ‘Tribe e total of 154 points.

Michigans powerhouse football team, which finished no. l in the Associated Press’ year-end poll, gained runner-up honors with 1Z2 points. The Wolverines drew down 17 first-place votes, 27 seconds and 17 thirds.

The United States Olympic squad finished third with 86 points. The Olympic team. which won the over- all Olympic championship in Europe last August, received 24 first-place nominations, four sec- onds and six thirds.

Cleveland's mighty Browns, all- A m e r i c a n conference football champions for three consecutive years. were fourth with 6'1 points.

The Indians‘ rise to the heights can be traced hack lo one day -— Monday, Oct. 4. i948. That was the day the Tribe, with their backs to the wall. made baseball history. Ohly the previous day, the Indians’ dream of their first pennant in 28 years had been all but wiped out.

0n Sunday, Oct. 3, Hal New- lhouser and Detroit Tigers had sent the Redskins back on their heels with a humiliating. ‘l-l de-

y feat that shoved them back into

a season-ending tie with Boston Red Sox. The Tigers had added insult to injury by whomping Bob Feller Cleveland's ace. with an as- sortment of base hits that sent the fireball rlghthander to the showers early in the game.

The odds were all against the Indians that memorable Oct. 4 day. All they had to do was beat the murderous hitting Red Sox in Boston's Fenway Park — and with a pitching siaff- that was tired from working in and out of turn.

Manager Lou Boudreau surprised the baseball world by nominating Gone Bear-den, his freshman south- paw, to start. Bearden rewarded

Years of Agc

In one of the most unfortunate accidents to occur to a. local athlete, at least in the memory of this writer, was to youthful Lorne Burke. who as the result of a hockey practice incident at the Forum on Monday night. had to have an eye removed in an operat- im at the Charlottetown Hospital yesterday morning.

- e - e 16-year-old son of Mr and Mrs. Anthony Burke, City. was considered by lccal sport folowers as probably one of the most promising young goaltenders in the Province, and turned in a stellar performance in the nets last year for the Midget Abbies, present holders of the Maritime Midget title. as well as being the chief net custodian in ihe Queen Square School Hockey League for the past three years. He is also a promising young track and field artist and turned in a fine per- formance during last year with the Junior Abegweit team as a sprinter and member of the relay team in local and Maritime track and field events.

Lorne,

eeee

Lorne, who was to hold downl the goalies position with the Juvenile Abbles in competition this serson, received the serious in- jury to his eye while tending goal at a Navy practice Monday night when in a melee in front of the net he was struck in the eye by a player's skate. There is no need to mention the handicap that the loss will mean to this fine young lad, as that can be only too well realized. but this column would like to join with his many friends in extending sincerest sympathies to him and his parents. e e e e

During the visit of ihe Scottish curlers one of the liveliest topics of discussion was the push type broom used exclusively by the visitors. They claimed the brooms. a smaller edition of the push type variety, were far superior on art- ificial ice. They said the ordinary house type variety used in Can- ada had gone out with the erect- ion of indoor rinks. The visitors claimed t.he old-type broom was not found adequate and after a bit of research Old Country curl- ers had favoured ihe stubby. close- bristled, push brooms. Whether or not they become popular in the Dominion remains to be seen. 0 O I I

Another innovation lo most curl- ers in these parts were the colored markers the skips dropped on the ice to show where they wanted a stone to finish up. They gave their lead, second or mate the amount of ice in the usual manner. and then removed the marker after the stone had been deliver-

ed. O O 0 O

The Scots, who have been favor- ing the draw game in their Mari- time invasion, expect to switch their type of game to the knock- cut variety when they hit the West. The Western curlers. they have learned, excel at this type of play. One curler expressed concern when he was told that some bonspiels in Canada were offer- ing valuable prizes, and said that professionalism was frowned on by the Old Country curlers. “Curling is the only really amateur sport remaining." he is quoted as say- ing, "and we would not like to

see it Change." O O O

According to recent Hockey News scoring statistics, Wes “Bucko" Trainor has further increased his standing in the United States Pro- fesslonal Hockey League with the St. Paul Saints and has moved up from fifth to fourth position in the league scoring race in ma last week or so. In the previous refer- ence to the statistics in this column it was opined that he might be leading the race before the sea- son ends and by the look of things Bucko is not going to let that opinion down. ‘Trainer has a total of 50 prints. only eight behind the leading scorer, the points being tabulated up to and including December 19th.‘

In e recent article which also appeared in Hockey News, states that defenseman Allan Stanley. New York Rangers’ promising young rookie, is e nephew of‘ Barney Stanley, once e fabulous figure in hockey throughout West- ern Canade. Tony Allan. sports editor of the Winnipeg Tribune, recalls in a recent column that while Barney Stanley hailed from the East, he belonged to that al- most forgotten ere of the big- time professional hockey on the Pacific Ooeet where he was a high-scoring forward with the Vancouver Millionaires.

‘Ace’ Foley

By Rod Currie Canadian Prom Staff Writer

HALIFAX. Jan. 4 - (CPI - When The Halifax Chronicle merged New Year's Day with The Halifax Herald, SpOrtdQm here lost a familiar figure, the little man with the big cigar. Ace Foley had been sports editor of The Chron- icle for 2s years.

Ace was probably better known here than any athlete Halifax or Nova Sootia ever produced. His column "An Even Break" appeared every week-day, year in and year out.

He took in every sporting event

that he could. He always had a smile. .1 cheery word, a helpful Illtlld, for athlete 0r cub reporter. ll would be hard to find a man who had more friends. Ace's last column was the end oz‘ a lifetimes work, one might say. He said that since the Chron- icle as such was going out of busi- ness. “it seemed only fair for me to bow out. with it."

He. continued:

"The las‘. 28 years were chang- ing years in many respects, ye‘. the people who play at. sports haven't changed much . . .

“It isn't easy to say good-bye. It isn't easy to pause in the door- way and lake a. long, farewell too-c at the old familiar scones. It isn't easy to break off friendships nurtured over the years . . . ‘

"If I had been as thorough as l would always like to be, I would have prepared a ‘farewell column‘ that might have echoed some of my thoughts of the years gone by. "Names might have bobbed up here and there, and perhaps a. few incidents out of the past might have popped up to brighten a tearful moment.

"Maybe, however, it is better this way, to leave without nam- ing names because there have been so many. N0 person cover- ing the sports scene for so long could possibly recall them all.

“And without them all, the story would be incomplete, incompetent and insincere . . .

“Thanks for everything; for your kindly criticism, your lielpfu‘. advice. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Ace Foley."

Canadians Seek New llcfenceman

MONTREAL, Jun. 4 -— (CP) - General manager Frank Seiko of Montreal Canadiens announced to- day that he is trying to get de- fenceman Jim McPherson of the Canadien-sponsored Edmonton Fly- ers here for Thursday night's hoc- ke; league game against Chicago Bl ck Hawks.

e necessary procedure has been set in motion to have the husky, 21-year-old Edmonton play- er fly east and play in three games on the lend-lease basis applicable to amateurs.

At the moment couch Dick Irvin of Cunadlens can count only on Ken Reardon, Hal Laycoe and Glen Harmon for the defence. Harmon himself is suffering from an in- jured leg.

Doug Harvey is not likely to play because of a budly wrenched knee. Big Butch Bouchard has been out of the game since mid- November u'ith_torn ligaments in the leg. The cast has just been re- moved nnd Bouchard will try skating in u few days.

Another doubtful starter is Ken Mosdell, who suffered a head in- jury last Saturday in Toronto. He has also been ill with flu.

Maurice Richard, also injured about the hcnd at Toronto, was improved today.

Scottish Curlers llavc Edge At Quebec

QUEBEC, Jon. 4-—(CP)—Scottish curlers playing their last day's ex- hibition games with Quebecers to- day won six of 10 matches.

Today's victories by the Scots brought their total of wins to 12 in 20 games.

A rejuvlnated bend of Surn- merslde All Stars, skating and passing like a bunch of demons, pounded out a decisive 11-4 vic- tory over the league-leading Char- lottetown Navy in the opening game of the 1.949 section of the City Hockey League at the Forum last night.

Before the game got underway. the crowd rose to their feet and observed a one-minute silence out of respect to the late Samuel F. Doyle, former president of the City Hockey League and one of Prince Edward Island's outstanding sports figures for many years. lVlr. Doyle passed away Dec. 28.

The Western team, who defin- itely had the upper hand all through the game, went into the lead early in the first period with Gay, Grady and Oatway spear- heading the Summersidc attack with some smart passing attacks to run up the score to 3-1 before the period ended. Oatway got two goals and Trainor- the other, with Perry snoring the lone Navy goal in the period. The period was fast and hard-hitting. with Ootway opening the scoring nt the 2:58 mark to put his team in the lead, which they never lost for ihe re- mainder of the game.

The second period was also a fast, wide-open encounter. Despite the hard working efforts of the Navy squad, the Western boys out- shone their opponents in buck- checking and smooth passing at- tacks to run the score to 5-1 before the five minute mark in the period had been reached. The Navy then held the advantage for the next four minutes or so to rap in two goals, but the All Stars soon re- covered to tuke charge again and when the period ended, held a 7-3 advantage. G. Bernard paced the Summerstde onslaught in the per- iod, garnering two goals and one assist, while Mooney Gallant and Charlie Deiglten shared the other two goals, with Trainer picking up two assists. Allie Carver and Ralph Sheppard accounted for the Navy's two goals with‘ Joey LeClair assist- ing on Sheppard's effort.

Not being content with their four-goal advantage going into the final period, the All Stars kept up the fast pace all through the canto, and with the Navy right in there battling them every inch of the way the game turned in to a wild and wooly affair with stiff body checks and penalties coming frequent. But there was no check- ing the Summerside onslaught and. although Ted Strain got an early counter for Navy at 3:38, the West- erners banged home four con- secutive goals before the period ended to wrap the game up solid by a 11-4 margin. G. Bernard, Gal- lant, Steele and Woodslde got the counters with Delghen, S. Bernard, Steele, Farmer and Oatway assist- Ing on the plays.

The win was the first decisive victory for the All Stars so far this season, but judging from the style of game they turned in last night and also the fact that the Navy have only lost two games ll'l six starts, it looks like the Western boys are at long last on their up- ward climb out. of the league cel- lar, and from now one are going to be a hard team to beat.

The following are the lineups:-
