Landry And Moilloskey

have burned to the ground last Saturday night but it wouldn't have worried that famous athletic family. the Bentleys. very much. Not when there was such sn im- Dortant event as a hockey game featuring their twogreatest sons. Max and Doug of the Chicago Black Hawks to be seen in near- by Saskatoon.

O O O O

One of ‘the slickest brother com- binatlons ever to perform Ln the National Hockey League and two of the most prolific goal scorers the game has known. the Bentley fam- ily had never seen Max and Doug perform in o Chicago uniform. Here st last was the opportunity. even if it was only an exhibition game. And they didn t: ml: it. for close to 100 of them. constituting about one fourth of the total 9°17- uiation of Delisle. was on hand in the Saskatoon arena when the game got underway.

O O O O

It was a. great moment for all of them when Max and Doug skat- ed out on to the ice. And even greater when the brothers account- ed for four goals, between them. They were mighty proud. The Bentley family. But proudest of all was the head of the clan", 73- year-oid William Bentley. who is thankful he has lived to see his two sons became famous from one end of Canada toilth‘: other.

O O

While “PO'p" Bentley has passed the allotted span. he says he really hasn't had time to grow old. "Raising and playing uriih a iam- ily of 13 children has kept me as young as my youngest grandchild." he said when he was tlllkell M after the game in the Chicago dressing room. “I've always been a great believer in- sport and en- couraged all my boys and Ilrls to play as soon as they were 01d enough. It's paid dividends too. for I think I have a really fine family and sport has helped s. 10f lo make it that way."

O O O O

'.l‘here was a sparkle in his eyes as bright as o neon light when we talked to "Pop' Bentley about his two sons, and his weatlterbeaten face literally beamed like the sun a‘. he said: "Yep. I sues: they're pretty good. As long as I can re- nember those two wanted to play hocloey. In the winter months they spgnt nggfly every minute of their waking hours on our little rink in Delisle. Guess that's how they de- veloped such s wonderful under- standing. .

Halifax Team Winners 0f Softball Title

HALIFAX. Oct. l6 — (GP) — Halifax Zwlckers captured the Maritime softball championship

here today by defeating McAvlty Worlds of Saint John. N. 3., 5-1 in the deciding game of the best. of-three series. The teams had split a. doubleheader yesterday with the New Brunswick champ- ions taking the first game 7-2 be- fore the Nova Scotia representa- tive copped the nightcap 9-8.

The deciding‘ game brought to- gether Les McEvoy on the mound for Halifax and Hermie Boyle for Saint John for the third time in as many games.

Both had started in yesterdays opener and both had come in to relieve in the second game with the result that each had a vic- tory and a loss before today's meeting.

McEvoy had the situation well in hand as he gave up six hits and struck out three. taking part in a double play.

His mates were on their toes defensively. a direct contrast to yesterday when they committed l2 miscues. and gave McEvoy near airtight fielding marred by only two errors.

Boyle was not far behind in the hurling department. giving up only seven hits. but afield Mc- Avity Worlds came up with nine filmbles and none of Zwickers’ five runs were earned as a result.

Halifax opened the scoring in the second with a fun on two errors by Seeley and a single by pitcher McEvoy.

Saint Jchn tied it up in the third on Corrigarfs walk. a sacri- fice and a Texas leaguer off Hunter's bat.

Errol-g gave Halifax the lead in the sixth. Nehiley singled to left and moved to second when White's throw went past second. He mov- ed to third when an outfit-id throw went astray again after a pop fly and then came home on s single. '
