suits ice hockey By DONALD FREDERICKS The Tim trade to New York Rangers is the latest example of sports complete disregard for the paying spectator If the Rangers immediately given Toronto players even if they were of little help the trade could not be criticized The worst could lie said is that the general of the Leafs made a trade for the sake of trade just to prove he is earning his money But the Leafs picked up no players for this season trading instead for four or five after the season is over And Leaf vicepresident Harold Ballard admitted the players are not frontline Rangers What this means is Toronto has officially accepted the fact that the 19G970 sea son is a complete failure For loyal Leaf supporters who pay up to each game for the chance to see then her oes action this is indeed a bitter pill to swal low needs legislation to protect the fain us well the players and owners The fans paid top dollar to see Toronto play to win l making the trade is saying Waft until next year DEAL LEGAL President Clarence Campbell has said the Horton deal is perfectly legal under existing hockey rules But to the fans in Boston the deal must seem strange Indeed unless of course Tor onto offers to send the Bruins Dave In ex change for another four or five players later on This kind of trade too would probably help the Leafs since the farm teams are weak in talent almost weak the

recall Pat from the minors to replace If wasnt good enough one day he hadnt improved overnight THEYRE DEFEATISTS For the remainder of the wherever the Leafs play fans will be paying big- league prices to see a team that admits defeat Further more Tim was the Leafs only all star in It is true he threatened to quit hock ey but he hud change of heart brought on by a contract estimated to be worth dreamer would expect the Rangers to be as gen erous the Loafs and give up players of the calibre of Bob Kevin Avnlo Brown and Rod Soil ing Lets hope the NHL tnkes steps to prevent such ileitis in the
