Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - March 29, 1940, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page eighteen Winnipeg free press Friday March 29, 1940 Kenora p to be pushed around by Joe Evan ild Man mental attitude was the Best Man on the ice at the olym Pic rink thursday night As Kenora thistles Manitoba Junior champions eked out a 5-4 last minute Triumph Over port Arthur Thunder Bay representatives. Far be it from us. In the foregoing remarks to detract for a moment from the Brilliant display of the visitors. Gaye Stewart Bob Drainville Jerry Gibson Albert Kelly and company lived up to All Advance expectations and then some. The boy however who really stole the show for the ports was goalie Johnny Grant. He smothered the rubber Early and often when the Thistle threat was at its Best. W however it can still be said that the thistles on the evening s Dis play Haven t a great Deal to be disturbed about if they play the kind of hockey of which they Are capable. On the other hand if they continue to treat this Thunder Bay threat in the same we can win any time we have to attitude As they did on thursday night they Are liable to find themselves retiring from the Junior championship hockey picture much sooner than they anticipated. O this Rangy Crew from the head of the lakes is easily the most potent threat from that area for quite some years. They can skate they can shoot and they Are not quite the one or two Man aggregation that local hockey fans were led to believe. Gaye Stewart their head Man is quite a scoring potentiality. He is big fast and lays Down passes with precision. He provided the necessary for the first two counters for ports and took Laprade pass to tie the game with less than five minutes to go in the final period. W the invaders surprised with their Speed and All i round ability. They stuck to their checks like leeches and while their rearguard is nothing to get up and cheer about goalie Grant made up what his defenders lacked in the Way of staving off the Thistle Forward thrusts. At with overtime practically assured Vic Lofvendahl broke to feed Jorgenson a pass outside the port Blue toe and the red headed youngster who is proving to be the Thistle hero to the clutch gave Grant Little Chance to save. C at Here went the game without reprieve. The ports surprised local i fans and possibly themselves. Their Sterling Effort however was not Luck. They were deserving of every Inch of the margin of play that they held. The next meeting at the amphitheatre saturday night should be a Jim Dandy. It is unfortunate that they have again to change ice. But we still say look out for fire works and do not underrate that Bunch from fort Arthur.

Shoes Ron Mem everywhere merchants by Scott Young this is the Story of Vin Jorgenson a Star who won a game and of Gaye Stewart a Star who lost it. Jorgenson scored with 11 seconds of play left in the third period thursday night to give Kenora thistles a 5-4 Victory and a one game Edge in their Best of three Western Canada Semi final Junior series with port Arthur juniors while Stewart heralded rightfully As the standout of a surprisingly powerful Lakehead Champion served a penalty for slapping Vic Lofvendahl across the face with his stick. It was Jorgenson s second goal in the game and the third time in Kenora s last four play off games that the red roofed Kenora citizen has scored winning goals. It was unfortunate Fate that made Stewart who stored once and had two assists for the ports the Goat. In the second last minute of play Stewart who had tied the score at 4-4 on a pretty goal a couple of minutes before led Rush into Kenora territory. He was bounced once or twice along the left boards then a Kenora defender held the puck against the Side. Albert Pudas blew his whistle to Stop play and an instant later Vic Lofvendahl checked Stewart heavily. Justly indignant As play had been stopped Stewart slapped Down with his stick and hit Lofvendahl. It May have been intentional or it May have been a balance regaining reaction from the Check but he was penalized by Albert Pudas and in the resultant Power play Jorgenson whose scoring Hickory blossoms magic in the clutches scored the winning goal seventh straight it was the seventh straight win for the Kenora since they Lott the second game of their South division Semi final series to Brandon 1-0. They won the third 3-2 beat monarchs 4-1 and 6-4 to win the South Crown and Elmwood 5-4, 2-1 and 7-2 for the provincial title. It. The 5-4 and 2-1 games against Elmwood Jorgeson got both winning goal the firt at 8.46 in overtime and the second late in the second period. A summary would show that in seven straight wins thistles have scored 32 goals while 18 have been scored against them. An amazingly Small olympic rink crowd of a few More than 800 paid admissions watched the close game which had Little particularly Brilliant hockey but was full of action. The Kenora were baffled by port Arthur s valiant Back checking while port Arthur in , was slightly befuddled Fey the Snappy passing of the Manitoba champions. With an evident scoring punch on both lines the kind of a fuck Check ing that a free Wheeling outfit like Kenora can t shake and Brilliant goal keeping ports Only apparent disadvantage Lay in a jittery de Fence. The second game of the series will be played at the amphitheatre on saturday night and if their defence tightens. Ports have an excellent Chance to even the series. Forts open sowing a Superior team in attacking strength to the Elmwood Maple Leafs last victim of Kenora s strut through Manitoba company the ports scored the first goal of the game at 1.41 in the first period. Stewart swept around the Kenora defence like a Hurricane lost the puck momentarily wound up in the Corner and flipped an Inch perfect pass Over to Jerry Gibson who was in the Clear a few feet in front and beat Rayner from there. Sixteen seconds later Dick Milford embarked on a spectacular passage through the port Arthur defence to tie the score. Jorgenson s Flat goal was a pretty one. He passed to Joe Johns Able replacement for Doug Lewis on Knonk s second line in. Zone then flew around the defence and bore in on goal. Johns stepped Over the line Steckhan Delsid a couple of defenders out of position and flipped a pass through that caught Jorgenson at the Goalmouth wheres upon Jorgenson caught Johnny Grant port Arthur s outstanding Newman Flat footed to Send Kenora ahead. But apparently somewhere along the Trail the ports were taught that one goal is Only one goal and thai one team can score As Well As an other for before the Teasee Quarter Point to the go Tafa got Toom pow to the one that produced the first Stewart and Gibson nullified the Effort. Laprade was hardly Back in the game before Stewart was penalized my with overtime looming Jor Enson took Lofvendahl s pass near the Elueline faltered As he was checked at the defence then picked up the puck again and knifed through to score the winning goal.

Nier things have happened in the tight game than the pop wow that Johnny Paychek will the heavyweight title from Joe Louis m Madison Square Garden tonight but despite the Jim Bra docks and Max Schmeling who pulled m the l-to-10 shots in recent years there just does t seem any Chance that it can happen Here this time. Somehow the Brown bom Ber does t appear in any danger for his tenth title defence. Not Only has he the physical equipment to dispose of the Light ing fiddler from the Corn country. With an expected crowd of 15.0wj looking on but Pride is Hurt As a result of his mediocre showing against Arturo Godoy last month. Paychek now when Louis Pride is Hurt it pains him indeed. In the past these pains set in sympathies invariably were directed toward the next Guy he met. Just for example look at the record Max Schmeling knocked him out. Jack Sharkey came along next cocky that he d do the same thing. He never knew what hit him. Joe could t catch bicycling Bob pastor for 10 rounds. Natie Brown that one a month later. Tommy fair followed and Louis look terrible for 15 rounds. Natie Mann turned up not Long afterwards and figured As How he could do everything Farr and punch besides. He woke up some time later. On feb. 10, Louis was a baffled bewildered Young Man against Godoy so under Joe s feathers one Day Chicken the next pro gramme you hardly need a Crystal Ball to figure out what Paychek can expect despite his record and ring skill.

From now on they will be one of the most cherished possessions of Vin. Give the Pittsburgh pirates a dose of the morale they lacked last season Flavoured with the catching prowess they Hope will develop and they May come winging Home this autum Healing the a Frankie Frisch Flash who succeeded pie Traynor As manager of the bucs has been telling United press sports scribes he has the morale situation Well in hand and reports Progress in the Backstop Ping department the pirates broke their training Camp at san Ber Nardino the other Day. When Frisch took Over the reins the pirates were in a Low mental state nosed As a natural letdown after Gabby Hartnett s Home run blasted their Pennant Hopes in 1938. As a result with a wealth of potential baseball dynamite in their midst they slipped to sixth place last year. But Frisch schooled in the Atmos phere of the St. Louis Gas House gang has the pirates Back on their toes again and is looking ahead in he has reconciled the squad to rigorous training routine. The largest order he has at the moment is finding the right combination at the catching Post. The pirates hold oven from last year both finished with batting averages far Down the scale. A Mueller who hit at a clip gets the Call in most Early i exhibition games while Ray Berres struggling Over a .229 age comes in second. Virgil Davis who played with flinch during the last Cardinal world series appear Ance was added to the club because he batted .307 for the Phillies last year and if the hitting of Mueller and Berres does t improve Davis will get the Call. In addition Frisch has Joe Schultz also with a .307 average in Reserve. The balance i of the squad is composed of sea soned players for the necessary i stability and poise and enough Young blood mixed in to result in fire and Hustle. And that is Frisch wants. Frisch believes his string of pitchers will be strengthened by giving Johnny gee a regular torn at the Mound. Gee who weighs 225 and stands six feet nine is the by Crest maa in base Ball. He won 21 games and lest 12 for Syracuse before the pirates took hum for and four players last Fau.
