Crescents In

8-2 Win

Over Beavers “To Tie: ; Hawks For 2nd Spotl

_.-_

MIG.‘ J01. N-In Doe. 10 - (G) -A murderous third-period assault upon hint John leavers netted Halifax Crioeenta six goals lohisht in an l-I win that advan- ced t-he Non aootians to a second place tie with Ienoton Hawks, five points below the loading Truro Besrcsts in the libs-Mme Senior Hockey League.

The hapless Beavers. linking deeper intq the Big your cellar, were separated by the same mar- gin from Halifax and Moncton. They have won only live games, and drawn four, out of 21.

The up and coming speedy Cres- rentgshowed better class through- out tonight but in each of the first two periods found the Saint John cago only once, including a shot of the lucky variety.

Beavers man-Bled to tie the score in the third but then Crescents went to town and began pounding goalie Tommy Donachey, who ap- peared ineffectual as the rubber passed him six times.

Pius Grudet and Rocky Sullivan combined for a lucky Halifax tally half way through the first period. When Pius shot Rocky's pass from the blue line. Saint John defence- man Bill Allan obscured Dona- rheys view and he failed to sec the puck in time for a. save.

The session of speedy, heads-up hockey was fairly rougr Two pen- allies were imposed for tripping, two for roughing and one for an illegal check. The Halifax forwards were skating fast and had the bet- ter of the play.

More than 17 minutes elapsed in the next period before George MacGregor made it 2-0 for Cres- cent: with Gaudet assisting. Bea- vers were trapped behind the Hal- ifax blue line when MicGregor shot. The next play was a repet- ition of the situation. excepting

that Donacbey made a great save. Crescents continued to show sup- eriority over the homesteis.

Beavers tied the count early in, the third, with Vic Jackson and, Nick Fcderonick sco Ing, butl Crest-cuts thcn ran wild with six, tallics and made Donachey look bad.

Six different Crescents shot the

Probably the best explanation of

l comes from the pen of Whit- ncy Martin, Associated Press writer, in an article released to- dab‘. Martin says:

"You mlght say that Jersey Joe Walcott was a victim of ovcrcon- fidence in his bout with Joe Louis last Friday night. Overconlidcncc in ghie Judgment of his handlers.

##1##‘!

"Jersey Joe's corner told him to take it easy and stay out. of trou- ble the last two or three rounds. as he had the tight won. The challenger obeyed implicitly, do- lng everything but Qet down to a sprinter’: start at the beginning of each round and racing around like mad to avoid Louis’ lethal.

ﬁsts. 0 6 1- O

"Had he fought those rounds the way he fought most of the rest of the battle he undoubtedly would have won, officially. But. his corner told him it was in the hag, and he believed.

+ i

"Jersey Joe is not the first vic- | tim of such a mistake. You've l seen it happen time and again in l football games, in basketball gam- ‘ es, in almost any sport. It's thr-

oid tortoise and hare story. A

team eases up, thinking it. can

coast in. The other team comes

up, and the first thing the over-

conﬁdent team knows it is behind. 'l~ 'l' Il- 1'

"Last summer. over in Brooklyn, the Dodgers were playing the Car- dinals. Ron Nor-they of the cards hit what appeared to be a home

, run. He raced around the bases until an umpire. thinking the ball had gone into the stands, told him to take it easy. He did, and was thrown out at the plate. League president Ford Frick upheld the Cardinal protest and ordered the game replayed.

“Whcn Jack Dempsey won the

l heavyweight championship‘ from Jess Willard in Toledo in 1919, he risked disqualiﬁcation by leaving ‘is ring. Ih the confusion of a llliiiii during which Dempsey beat his huge foe about the ring like a tennis ball. nobody hoard the Hell and Dempseys corner thought ‘no lad won by a knockout. It was in the bag, but not until

later 1 vl- ‘l- 0

"It's a common failing. this tendency to take the advice of others when it means the chance to let up a bit. Practically noth- ing in sports is in the bag. Jersey Joe probably will rely on his own judgment from now on. He knows that. if it's in the bag it must be peanuts. and he won't fight for peanuts henceforth."

YORK, Dcc. 1(l — (AP) Jnc Cronin-Joe McCarthy - ~ . oxplctlcd Boston Red Sox bombshell on the

. JilKllCiill League today by luring nu ieldoi- Stan Spence from “Yishiiuztou for second base- man Al Iilcznr and outfielder Leon Culiarrson.

Although this deal involving a minor league infielder and a run- of-thc-mill outfielder for an es- iahiisbctl regular would seem to call for a cash outlay by Boston- _"_(‘1!'?l'l\i manager Cronin 0f the Rod insistcd no money chang- ctl bonds.

Addition of Spence following the purchase of shortstop Vern Ste- phens and pitchcrs Jock Kramer illlii would seem. firmly to establish ntanagcr McCarthy's sox as Wihe club to boat" in 194-8.

McCarthy suirl he probably would alternate Spence. a .219 hitter with Washington in 147 games, with Sum Zifele. Boston's rookie sensa- tion of 1947. Spence hits lcft and Mole bots right, an ideal switch combination.

In return for Spence who is 32, the Sox gave a likely-looking young infielder to Washington in Kozar who hit .340 for the Red Sox' Southern Association farm at New Orleans. The 25-year-old infielder probably will fit into a regular job at Washington which sold Gerry Priddy to St. Louis earlier in the week. Clllbcrson. 2B, who batted .233 in 4'7 games for the sox. is a cup- zilile centre ficldcr.

night racked up a 34-31 victory‘: ovcr Navy in an exhibition bask-

ribull game played at the Prince of Wales Auditorium. '

As the score would indicate, it was a close-knit tussle throughout both sessions. Ray's scoring a hunch o! baskets midway through the first session led 18-12 at the rest period.

Navy springing right to the at- tack at the outset ol the final twenty minutes o1’ play drew up to within one point of their oppon- rnts in the first four minutes: again Millionaires came through with important baskets to build up an eight point mBfBiH 8i 0H0 time but the closing rush of the “Tars" nearly nipped the favored Millionaires, Angie McDonald sinking a basket for the winner's in tho final minute with Navy trailing by a lone point to seal the verdict.

NEW YORK. Doc. 10—(CP)-— The New York jinx exerted its in- fluence over Montreal Canadians again tonight asthe Rangers scor- ed in the final 30 seconds of play to gain a 4-4 tie against their Na- tional Hockey League rivals.

Canadians three times took the load as Elmer Loch crested the spark for the Montreal attack in the absence of his famed line mate Maurice Richard who was aids- lined with a knee injury. But the Rangers, undefeated in four games against the Canadians this season salvaged a tie when Grant (Knobby) Warwick connected at 19:30 of the third period of! a goal mouth scramble.

The stalemate sent the two i clubs into their return match at Montreal tomorrow night with l their respective standings un- ‘ changed Canadians still holding a two-point edge in fourth place.

From the start it appeared that Canadiens finally would snap the slump that had seen them beaten. 2-1, 4-2 and 5-3 in three previous games against the Rangers. Lseh, scored the first of his three goals to give the visitors a 1-0 edge in the first period.

That goal stood up until 2:02 of the second period, when Frankie Eddolls tied the score.

But Loch came right back for his second tliial, taking passes from Kenny Reardon and Toe Blake to put Canadians ahead 2-l. Howard 11"!) Riopelle hulled through two Ranger defenders to consolidate the lead, scoring one second before the second period ended.

Down two goals. the Rangers. refused to quit. Cal Gardncn who hadn't scored a goal this season, made up for the delay by tallying twice. Lhch put Canadlens ahead again, then Warwick tied the count.
