BOSTON l. MONTREAL I.

3 SOSTON, Dec. 5—(AP)—-Boston Bruins took advantage of the only penalty against Montreal Cana- diens, called on defenceman Kenny Reardon, to score twice in 37 sec- onds for a 2-1 win tonight before a packed 13,900 crowd at the Boston Garden. That triumph enabled the Bruins to continue atop the Nation- al Hockey League, a full game ahead of Detroit Red Wings.

The Bruins had only 15 shots against Bill Durnan. Durnan was yanked for a sixth skater with 11 seconds remaining but the time ran out before Czinadiens could lake advantage of their extra mali- power.

DECEMBER 6. 1948

Two local youngsters, Donnie MacLeod, 11, and Dannie McNaliy, 14. certainly made senior bowling enthusiasts’ scores look bad dur- ing last week's bowling activities at Joey MacDonald's Sporting Club Roll-Away, when they rolled up the highest single scores for the week ln five-pins and candle- pins respectively. O s O O It was during Saturday after- noon that. little Donnie MacLeod amassed a total of 336 in five-pins out. of a total of 450 to win the weekly prize for high single donated hy Joey MacDonald, while Satur- day night lift-Nally overshadowed the bowling skill of many local top- notch senior bowlers to capture the Roll-Away prize by garnering r. total of 137 points in the candle- pin division. o e o Although the scores were made in unofficial bowling competition- they were nevertheless made under existing bowling regulations and. being thoroughly scrutinized by management officials. were au- thentic in every respect. v s o s Notwithstanding their ages, the scores made are of no mean calibre in any bowling circles and on con- sidering the fact that these two boys are only l1 and 14 years of age, it is quite possible that they have both set records for this age group in bowling. and although it would be almost lmposible to ascertain definately whether this is so, this column would welcome any further information which would tend to prove or disprove this point. e o a To illustrate just how well Mc- Nally's score in the candle-pin dlyislon compares with other scores, it might be interesting for the reader to note that in the recent week-long Maritime-Maine bowl- ing competitions held here the highest single score made in candle-pins during that time was 139, only two points higher than this 14-year-old boy's. O O I t

Activity and interest in local basketball circles has sprung to life rather suddenly during the past week, and it looks as if this populai" sport. is ready to come into its own for the coming sca- son. Last Friday night saw the opening of the Juvenile League get underway. with the Juvenile Abhies taking (he Y. M. C. A. Juvenile hoopsters into camp by a score of 28-20, while (he Senior Abbie squad lost out. to the strong Mount A. Varsity cage artists in an exhibition game at Sackville on Saturday night by a score of 55-36. 0 O O O

Two of the entries in this year's island Physical Fitness Basket- ball League, Saint Dunstalfs University and Prince of Wales College, played an exhibition game at the P.W.C. Auditorium Satur- day nlght, with the S.D.U. squad defeating the Wclshmen by the score of 45-17.

.

According to Doug (Windsor Daily Star) Vaughan "There is virtually nothing you can say about the selection of Lou Boud- reau as the American League's most valuable player of the year The writers said it all when they gave him 324 of a possible 336 points in the balloting There is little ilhat can embellish that. Every one will admit that. the writers picked the right man and no one can feign surprise that he was given what he clearly de- served.

O O O O

"Boudreau has achieved a. re- markable personsl triumph. It is s. personal triumph because a year ago Bill Veeck was seeking to trade the manager who is his own best player, to the Browns. Cleve- land fans rose to the support of their favorite and veeck event- ually hall to reconsider.

O O O O

“Had to reconsider! Imagine — he had to consider keeping the best. ball player in hhe American League and a manager who was to be an inspiring figure in the historic 1948 pennant fight. That old axiom that the best. trades are those which were never made is indeed true, at least in this case_

O O O t

“Obviously, Boudraaub work last season influenced the suc- cess of his team more than any other player in the league. That is the quality that pays off in the voting for the most valuable play- er award and that is why Joe Di- Maggio has always done so well in the balloting.

"DiMaggio. pliicJd ‘second this year. He received t-he only two first-place votes which did not. go

, to Boudrenu. His point-total was

only 213, compared with Boud- reau's 324, but he clearly was the second most. valuable player in the eyes of the writers. Ted Williams,

Saints Defeat P.W.G. In Hoop Game 45-17

After being held to a one point lead at the first half by a stub- born P.W.C. defense, the Saint Damian's University hoop squad outscored their City opponents 31-4 in the last half to win the exciting game by a count o! 45-17 at the Prince of Wales College Auditorium Saturday night.

Lack of field goals because of very poor shooting was the main downfall of the less experienced Prince of Wales squad. On the other hand the boys from the Hill were very sharp on their shooting as they eccmmted for m baskets during the encounter.

Leading the point parade for the winners was a new player to City basketball fans in the person of Billy Backless, United States youngster who scored five baskets and sank two foul shots for a to- tal of twelve points. Johnny Brad- ley and Roche also of the wiri- nars accounted for eight points each while Kennedy, another newcomer, had six points.

Garth Crockett was high man for the losers with seven points and "Red" Aitken was second with four points. "Red" Hoiwatt, although not accounting for any points, gave a nicely display of ball handling during the game. Prince of Wales were charged for eight personal fouls while Saint Dunstans had seven called on them. The game" ‘was capably handled by Bob LnClalr and Bob Noble.

It is not known at’ the time of writing when the local league will open and another meeting of the League executive should be forthcoming in the near future. SUMMARY ' P.W.C. FG FS PF TI‘ Ready Crockett
