Who's next.? After word reached
here on Monday morning that Port
Elgin Jaycees had definitely decid-
ed to drop out of further competi-
tion in the WOAA Grand Champ-
ionship Inter -meth -ate hockey series
With Goderich Sailors, fans began ;
to speculate if last Saturday night's i
game here, when the tars won by a!
9-3 score, was the last one of the
season. But there's little possibil-
ity,thonnh that the tars will
meet Lucan. The Irishmen won •
the WOAA Intermediate "C" title
a couple of weeks ago and are cur-
rently engaged in a best -of -five
series With Electric for the OHA
"Cd title. Current reports ai-e that
the intermediate season is over,
but definitely..
The Port Elgin squad apparently
had good and sufficient reason for
qaitting the short-lived series. In-
juries proved costly. Tommy Wil-
son, one of • their best forwards
suffered a broken wrist in the first
game at Port Elgin, then hurt it
again here on Saturday night,
Their tap defenceman, Kazarian,
had his nese •bashed in. In addi-
tion, we understand some of the
Jaycee players had to report for
service on lake boats. One thing
iaosure, the intermediate hockey
seaskon has „passed its peak, and
perhaps it's just as well that the
series endetnawhen it did. -
Yet hockey is far from dead in
Goderich. This week, the biggest
little hockey tournament in the
country is drawing crowds to see
60 teams battling it out for pee
wee hockey nonors. Young Can-
ada Week once again is rtroving to
be an outstanding success. Games
so far this week have proven to
have been real crowd • pleasers.
But apparently the best is yet to
come. Tonight, ' the Winnipeg;
entry, here for the second straighti
time, swings into action against the
Wellend squad in shat may be.one
of the top games of the "AA"
Series. All day tomorrow, the
"AA" teams will be playing. and at
night the winner of the "A" Series
will be decided. Saturday .brings
the grand championship games,
and then at night the Winnipeg
team takes to the ice again, this
time to play the second aneual
version of the East-West challenge
match against the Goderich pee
wee entry. U last year's eneoun-
ter between the Winnipeg and
Goderich squads, when two games
were needed to decide a victor, is
any indication of how this year's
match will look, then the Saturday
night tussle ought to be. a ,dilly
and the standing room only sign
at:the arena should be up early in
the evening.

Ooderich Sailors gained sweet

In direct contrast to the show-

evened the count at the 10 -minute
mark, leaving the score tied 1-1 at
the end of a rough stanza in which
10- penalties were called, six of
them against the tars.
Then the Sailors Wok ever com-
plete control in the Second period,
notching four goals with Billy Mae -
Donald and Jack Meriam sharing
scoring honors.
The Sailors ran their* lead up
to 8-1 with Williams scoring twice
and Meriam once early in the final
frame. Small finally put the Jay-
cees back into the scoring column
at the 6.56 mark of the third per-
iod. Meriam scored again for the
tars and G. McNeill got the final
marker for the visitors late in the
period.

CREWE
The 'Peg boys did quite well in
Toronto over the past week -end.'
On Saturday, the alltstar Winnipeg
squad took a 7-0 win over East
Toronto pee viees in an exhibition
game, playing the game enly an
hour .after their train arrived from
the west. On Monday, the 'Peg
kids won three out of four games,
beating Aurora, Weston and York
Township and winning the Oak-
wood Businessmen's trophy and
tournament in the afternoon only
to lose 3-2 to East York "Stars" in
a close game at night.
Speaking of Young Canada
Week, two of th'e graduates of
tournaments in past years, 13 -year-
old David Leeson, who helped pace
the, local bantams to the All-On-
tafio this year, and 15 -
year -old Bundy Williamson, who
was a standout with the local
javeniles, are in Toronto this week
attending the St. Mike's Hockey
School. No doubt the boys miss
watching the pee wee teants in
action here, nut they'll be gettitin
good training at the school' in
the big city and if they show up
well they might be headed for
bigger things in the hockey ,world.
Fans in Goderich wish them all the
rest.

THE SHAUGHNESSY STORY -Part 1
This is the story of resource, stubborn
tenacity and imagination that has saved the
International Baseball League, second oldest
of all groups in professional baseball, from
oblivion. It is the story of Frank Joseph
Shaughnessy.
When the ancient International starts its 72nd season next
week, 200 baseball players .and a million fans in eight cities
can thank the tall, lanky, red-headed Irishman that this League
is still in existence.
Frank Joseph Shaughnessy, in his 19 years as president of
the International has seen five cities 'drop from his circuit.
If he ever feared the worst, oaly Shaughnessy himself knew.
In the gruff, rasping voice which produces his rugged phrases,
he brushed aside all suggestion that the eight -club League
might be "forced t� cut to six clubs. Shaughnessy was never
discouraged, even in the face of developments that might have
daunted a lesser. man than this former Notre „Dame football
star, professional baseball player, major league hockey pilot,
Minor league baseball manager, football coach and Royal Can-
adian Artillery officer in World War L
When Frank ,Shaughnessy becanie. president of the Inter-
national the threat of television hadn't arrived. The League
was solid, prosperous. All was well.
Then Newark, long a League Stronghold, suddenly fell into
an attendance,decline as television cast its blight. That was
in 1950,- and ,Shaughnessy went out on his frrst safari... He
talked Chicago Cubs into backing a team in Springfield, Mass.
Again it was business as usual.

Of his ,own former haunts, Ottawa, where he had once piloted,
briefly, a major league hockey club. Baseball heads listened
to his persuasive voice, Major league backing was found for
team in the capital and Shaughnessy could breathe easily -
again -for a white.
The worst was ',yet ',to come. If wasn't long before the big
Irish rennead was on tthe hunt again, scanning the baseball .
horizon fon cities that might harbour a team for the Inter.
natinnal Baseball League.'
