At leastone• player in the NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE agreeswith this corner that :the sports writers and casters (not in fishing either)- were caught sleeping at the switch when they .chose the -number one a11 -tar • JACK .McINTYRE, a three-year competitor with the CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS of the N.K.L., thought Along :the same lines as we did that JAQUES PLANTE. should have grabbed the first position - easily. VeINTYRE„ who related experiences in the big Leagues .at the HENSALL PEE WEE HOCKEY BAN- QUET, is a well-known sports celebrity around these parts. The easy-going star,. who hails. from BYRON felt that our little favourite "JOCKO PLONTO"'never got as much credit as he deserved, Switching from the subject of goaltending, we would like to give you a few comments that JACK had on sports features that have been getting mention on the sports pages. Trades hitting the newspapers involving players. between DETROIT .and CHICAGO (namely with Eddy Litzenburger and Ted Lindsay involved) seem to be away out of line as far as JACK is concerned. The good-looking forward can't understand why the HAWKS would give their classy 24 -year-old centre for .:35 -year-old TED LINDSAY, Personally we can't see the move ourself unless more players beceine involved in the deal. Rumors have it that "Terrible Ted" is well set up financially in the motor city and a trade would cause quick retirement, JACK McINTYRE and GORDIE HOWE of the Wings are linked in -a solid friendship. You mayfind the tWo at Jack's home or on the banquet circuit to- gether. . McINTYRE told us that HOWE thinks the TERRY SAWCHUK retirement case will soon be cleared up with TERRY back in the DETROIT nets, SAWCHUK always liked Detroit and Howe doubts if he'd hesitate at the chance to return to his old stamping grounds. "GUMP" WORSELY, of the NEW YORK RAN- GERS gave JACK the most trouble of all netminders this season but McIntyre siys AL ROLLINS' perform, ance for the CHI -HAWKS was one of the best in the business. • According to Jack when TOMMY IVAN moved into the Windy City to help the HAWKS along, it was the best thing that has happened to CHICAGO in years. Before IVAN 'became available, Chicago had exactly one farm. club in which to draw playersfrom and that was in CALGARY. When teams like LES CANADIENS had .some 19 different• sponsored teams throughout the country, it- Was no wonder they could win the Stanley Cup so often. Although these farm setups set the CANUCKS back some $150,000 a season to spon- sor, in the long run, it 'paid off. . , To show the work IVAN has done since his arrival; CHICAGO no has 10 clubs with working agreements. Ivan bought the BUFFALO I3ISONS'of the AMERICAN HOCKEY LEAGUE and has connections with CAL- GARY, ST. CATHARINES ofthe O.H.A. JR. "A"; four . junior teams in the West; to junior, teams at PORT ARTHUR and FORT WILLIAM and one junior club in the EASTERN AMATEUR LEAGUE. If in doubt ,as, to how much a junior team may help, the Hawks who boasted a .500 percentage in the win -loss column after Christmas, were helped by. three players from central Ontario. HEC 'LALANDE, "HANK" CEISLA and EL.. MER VASKO all made the grade to help bolster the • cellar -dwelling Chitagonians. When questioned about where his team would finish next year, Jack replied: "That's one of the questions that comes up fre- . quently at banquets and no matter how Lanswer it we seem to end up holding the' balance' of the league on our shoulders. However, I'll go out .on the limb again and:Say that with abetter start than we got last year, we will make the playoffs!" The Rangers kept the. Hawks from the money series this year as only three points out of a possible 28 were picked up from them... • Here's one folthe books!. GORDIE HQWE was stuck in goal in his yOUnger days by, his coach because the coach thought and told him that he' would ,never Make a'forward! • Jack picks HOWE as. the best all-round N.H.L. performer with RICHARD second because of his lack of back -checking. You say what about BELIVEAU? ' Well, Jack would like to see two or three of Beliveaux wearing the BLACK HAWK colours next season. o 01100110111 ,Golf ...Group Plans Start Exeter .Golf .Club- is taking its first steptowards. the .second: year of operation.

The first major tournament of the new year is shaping up and will likely take place in the week of May 20, See League. For P'Wees Pee Wee baseball will be prom- inent this summer -in Exeter and surrounding districts as a five or six team league is being set up. Dashwood, Exeter, Lucan, Hen- sel' and Ailsa Craig all have given indications that, they are interested in forming a league and to date three entries are cer- tain. Harold Ribson, manager of the Lucan arena, says he has a very enthusiastic group of small fry down his way just raring to get started, -Out of Dashwood comes word that the Dashwood Men's Club will sponsor a Pee Wee entry. Rammie Wein has been appqint- ed to coach the youngsters and Jack Geiser will be manager. In Exeter, Derry Boyle will guide the team while over in Hensall and Ailsa Craig entries are fairly certain, but coaches still have to be found. See Record ii For Fishing Given good weather,isport fish- ing, which opened' n Ontario May 1, might well set an all- time record this year. Steady growth in the popularity of ang- ling is seen in the continued in- crease in the number of non- resident licences sold, although 1956 figures, not yet completed, are not expected to be much above the 1955 ,total of 377,200 because of last year's late spring and wet summer. Lands and Forests Minister Clare E. Mapledoram regards these figures as an -indication not only of the growing interest in the sport but also of the. favourable angling conditions to be found in the lakes and streams of this province. Speckled trout is the principal objective as the fisbing season opened officially on May 1. But legally 'vulnerable" • also as of this date were brown trout, Aurora trout, Kamloops trout and ouananiche or Atlantic sal- mon, as well as rainbow trout and the splake (speckled -lake trout) hybrid. Pickerel season opens two weeks later on May 15. Limits of catch are: Speckled trout—One and an additional 14 in one day, provided the addi- tional 14 in the 'aggregate weigh not more than .10 pounds (except in Elgin, Middlesex and Norfolk Counties: One and an additional nine in one day, provided the additional nine in the aggregate weigh n o t more than five pounds); not lesS than seven inches in length. Splake—Three in one clay, not less than seven inches in length. Brown trout and Aurora trout —Five in one day, not less than seven inches in length, ; Rainbow trout or Kamloops trout—Five .of either, or five of any ' combination thereof in one day, not less than seven incheS.

On behalf of the team, Captain Ifs Happy Gals Again As Women's Champs The Happy Gals have done it again! They captured the Ladies' Bowling League championship by defeating the Hot Dogs 5-2 in each of the first two nights of competition and just managed to pick up two points in the final night to wrap up the victory. Hot Dogs put up a game fight but the Gals proved to have a little too much polish for them. Itt the final evening on the alleys, the Dogs, took the first game by a single point with a 1,029 to 1,028 victory. The second game had the "red -hots" hold- ing a more comfortable margin with a 1,055--919 victory but in the final contest the Happy Gals came roaring right back to take a close 992-946 total pinfall. Happy Gals, "B" group win - nen, will receive the Kist Trophy for winning the grand champion- ship.. Members of the team include Dot Hall,' Martha Moody, Ann Brock, Dorothy Van Goozen, C. McManamon, Dot Munroe, Nor- ma Coleman and J. Matheson. The winners, as well as the runner-up Hot Dogs, wilVbe pre- sented with individual player trophies, Hot Dog team members in- clude Dot Brady, Lois Snell, Dor- een Tieman, Audrey McDonald, Pauline Brintnell,. Shirley Dar- ling and May Wolfe. The Ladies' League will hold its annual banquet on May 15 at the Exeter Legion Hall. Mr. Jones' had barely paid off the mortgage on his home when he morgaged it again to buy a new car. Havingthe car, he sought out banker to try to get a mortgage on the car to build a garage. "If I do make the loan," the banker asked, "how will you get the money to buy gasoline for the car?" "Well, it seems to me," Jones replied with dignity, "a fellow who towns his own home, a car, and garage should be able to get credit for gas." Earl Wagner thanked everyone for their support throughout a most successful season. Two trophies were present at the head table for the crowd to admire. One was for winning the Goderich "D': championship while the other was for copping top honours in the Shamrock Pee Wee tournament held' at Lucan midway through the winter. Earl Wagner was voted the most outstanding player on the ice in the eight -team tourney for sportsmanship and ability shown in the games and will be present- ed with a personal trophy. Special thanks was given to Peter McNaughton, Ernie Chip - chase, Sid McArthur and Jim Taylor for providing dependable transportation throughout the season. The Legion Ladies' Auxiliary served the hot turkey supper to the Pee Wees. 9' TIMI ThisiAiiimotte, May 11 Rollers Upset • .
