Toronto Marlboros In Victory Over Sherbrooke To Lead Series 3-0 ’

TORONTO, Ont., April 1'i—(CP) —A sharp shooting band of Toron- to Marlboroa turned Maple I..af Gardens into a shooting gallery tonight to score a humiliating 11- 8 victory over Sherbrooke Saints in the. third game of their‘ Eastern Canada senior Allan cup hockey final.

Marlboros now lead the best-of seven series 3-0 will! the fourth game in Montreal Saturday.

It was the goal-producing stick of 19-year-old George Armstrong. a junior for most of the year. that piloted Dukes aoal parade. Army blasted home four goals ard assi t- ed on two others to delight the 3.734 hometown fans.

Saints fell-apart and the Ma.l"l s moved right in on Paul LeCl:rc's goal step.

In just over five minutes of play, live gnals had been scored, four of them by Dukes. Sherbrooke‘s Sin- :-lnir rapped in the marker that helped the Saints hod some of the goal-getting limelight.

The series thus far has been de- cided on the edge Marlboros have held in their faster skating. It was- the same tonight as at least two goals were scored when Toronto players outskated Sherbrooke :hecks. .

Prefontaine. along with L:Clerc in the nets. played good hockey but with the odd exception, the third period outburst by the Marlies was the result of a lack of hustle on the Saints part and the blame could be equally shared by all.

The winner of this series will travel west to meet either Calgary stampeders or l"ort Francis Canad- ians in the Allan Cup Final.

According to a recent report from Montreal, "harness racing has assumed a ‘real metropolitan tin-.'.e' as one of the blgtlme sports in Quebec Province. 1-ieralding tnc opening last Sunday of the harn- ess season at Montreal's‘ well- known Richelieu Park. Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson says Quebec is following the pattern -set elsewhere ‘for hamesa racing which is undeniably on the up-grade all over the Oontin 1.‘.

. . .

"Stables from Canada's west. from Ontario. New Brunswick. Northern New York, and New England. engage in dueliing for the purses and give the whole picture a real metropolitan tinge," quotes Ferguson. “The sport oesn‘t com- pare with the t" roughbred game for the amount of monies wager- ed" Eimer notes. “it is something more of local rivalries and sporting feuds, with matched races. side bets and such. There are no form sheets, not touts. less tension. more of a genial sporting spirit, a sport of holiday atmosphere."

"Night racing in Ontario was re- cently barred by Provincial man- date. and Ferguson wouldn't be sur- prised "if the promoters of thor- oughbred racing in that Provinur, fearing the inroads of harness folk. had something to do with that dictum.’

. . .

'‘In more tolerant ind broad- minded Quebec". the Montreal scribe boasts, there is some nigh harness racing. at Richelieu prin- cipally. In other spots. it's a. day- light sport, for the week-ends. and part. of the accepted sport picture of a score of localities."

I O 0

We note‘ that Ferguson. in re- counting the areas where the sport is prevalent, he neglected to men- tion Prince Edward Island. We ag- ree with his views on the “popular- ity and atmosphere" of the sport. but are leiuctant. to forgive him for overlooking the Island 1 a ‘doubt unknowingly) which as been aptly termed by many as “the Kentucky of Can.ada.".

Mass-Production Of Baseball Players Al Florida Camps

By JACK SULLIVAN

DAYTONA BEACH. Fla. Allrll 17 -— (CP) —— Mass-production of baseball players is big business — about $500.000 — in the major leagues with Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants and Cleveland

.using_ ,_,,t1le;_assem bly,-line

techniqueon a’ 'arge scale. .

About 1,500 of the estimated 15,- 000 would-be hig-leaguers in Flor- ida the last month or so have gone through their paces at these camps:

The Dodgers have made Vero Beach a ‘ pping-off point for tourists and ball fans with a lay- out that probably .oniy the Bums could dream up. All Dodger fa.-m clubs have trained "t the camp.

It isn't known the cost. to Brooklyn and the Giants, but Cleveland will pay out almost $176,000 to operate its baseball fac- tory on the outskirts of Daymna. The Giants’ 14 farm clubs trained at Sanford. about 45 miles south- east of here.

The big-league clubs pay all the bills _ food, lodging. equipment and travelling expenses. Cleveland’: set.-up is a city within a city, tak- ing up 1,000,000 square feet at a former naval air base. ,

There are more than 400 players coaches and scouts at “Indiana- ville."

The camp has six ball diamonds. It has its own theatre. restaurant, post office, recreation and equip- ment rooms, laundry and lounges, individual lockers. news-stand. and separ quarters for officials. Ma- jority of the living quarters are two-bunk affairs. '

"It doesn't cost a kid a nickel to train here." business manager: Ed- die Stumpf said. "We paid $16,000 for the unifomls alone. They can eat as much as they wish and the only way they can spend money is on soft drinks. cigarets, papers and chocolate bfis.”

There are 20 camp rules and the 25th is worth mentioning. It reads:

"This is our home. Treat it as me and keep it clean. Be a gun-‘ tl an on and off the field. Your appearanc_e in the Lobby and dining room should be neat, smart and big league.

"Eventually you'll be there!"

Every player in the camp has that ambition. but so . far none have made it. "We still have hope

“We’l1 Win Next Two” Red Wings’ Prediction

DETROIT, April 17 -— (AP) —— “We'll win the next two games and wind this series up in a hurry."

That’: the optimistic prediction of the Detroit Red Wings as they get set to renew their Stanley Cup hockey championship series with New.X2rls.liI211s3_rs here Tues- day night. ""'f'"

Alot of the‘Detroit"co'nfidence is based on the ease with which they took Rangers 4-0 at Toronto Satur- day night to move out in front. two games to one, in the best-of- seven series.

Coach Lynn Patrick of New York is the first to admit that his club face: ai terrific uphill battle it it wants to get back into the running against the National Hoc- key League champions.

Patrick had been hopeful of win- nlng the two games which the temporarlly-orphaned New York- ers had to play on Toronto ice. since their. home rink at Madison Square Garden is occupied with a circus. -

But the best Rangers could do wag to gain a split in the two contests. "We figure that with all the rest of the games to be play- ed on Detroit ice. Red Wings have a bit of an advantage now. but maybe we can still Bran that cup.". Patrick said. .

Both clubs obviously are tired after the elongated 70-game N.H.L. schedule and the semi-final series of the championship round. Detroit beat Toronto in seven games and New York bested Montreal in five in that round. \ '

But the mutt is about six miles from town and all the players do not always manage to get out to the pa ticea. A gym in town would be aval'able to the young ieople at any time.

only two points separated the two teams in the filial game. but there was a 22-point margin in the fir.t game in Charlottetown. The local girls haven't done so well but they have shown improvement of late. They were unlucky enough to lose their two star players of the first year's play, Margaret Muttart and Cubby Howatt, and so they had to rebuild from the bottom again this year. ' I O I ‘

Their star player this year ap- pears to be little Shirley Burns. and for some reason or other, she didn't get to -Charlottetown to part- icipate in the first of the home-and home games. This little Miss has a very accurate allot and drlbbles. effectively also. Gwen Clark is the hardest worker on the team and should become a first-rate player. Julie Meikle gets the ball dawn the court rapidly. Betty Inman has shown a lot of promise in her last four or five games. Diane Dewar had the job of checking the ‘West Kent flash, Claudette Macblillnn, and this was a bit more than she could handle, but she never stopped trying-

The fact that the Summersidc bays and girls make more fouls than their opponents would seem to indicate that they are not ‘ so well grounded in the rules‘ of basketball as the Charlottetown players are. not example. in.- the last games the Summerside boys committed 21 fouls to the Char- lottetown tcan-rs d. The Summer- side girls had is fouls as conrared with 4 for I‘”ariott-.-town. Of course basketball fouls do not always in- dlcabe unfamiliarity with rules. It may show aggressiveness and some very good players foul out of games. It may mean actual rough- ness. But very often in the ease of beginners it means inability to comply with the rules. ,

About that new rink project. We had some very Jnteresting infor- mation last week. We had occasion to visit some towns in Nova Scotia and in course of conversations with some of the spurts-minded citizens we learned that at least two of the artificial ice rinks recently built in Nova Scotia did not coat as much as our Summaraide citisena had been lad to believe.
