THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Big League «Ball Games Yesterday "By JOE REICHLER Things are looking up for Joe Cronin and his Boston Red Sox to- da; ; Back in third place, and in the midst of + their longest winning streak in a month, the American League champions are beginning to look like the club that swept through the circuit Jast"Season. Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Rudy York, Dom MiMaggio and John Pesky are still in a puzzling slump, but the pitching departchent ap- pears to have taken a new lease on life. "Tex Hughson now has pitch- ed two complete games in succes- sion; Dave Ferris has won two of his last three and Joe Dobson hag won his last two, The biggest lft, however, has been the return of left-hander Mickey * Harris, + Making his first appearance of the :'47 season yesterday, the 26- year-old southpaw pitched seven scoreless innings as the Red Sox won their third straight over Cleve land Indians 3-0. Harris, who won 17 games and - Jost' only niné last year has been sidelined first by a siege of pneu- wioriia, then by a lame arm. "The victory put the Sox only 2% games back of the league leading Detroit Tigers who divided a dou- bleheader with Philadelphia Athle- tics.

Now better known to Canadians as Hon. James J. McCann, minis- ter of national revenue, he' played a bruising game as centre scrim- mage in 1911 and 1912 with the famed JHamilton Tigers whose ros=- ter atfthe time included such all- time greats ag George P. Awrey, Art re, Frank (Dutch) Burton, Sam Manson and Big Bob Isbister, the old man of the Canadian Awrey remembers Dr. McCann best, possibly because as a dight- weight" quarterback he had reason to be thankful for the protective barrier the husky scrimmage star threw up-in front of him, He re- calls that the doctor hung up his shingle in Hamilton as a 24-year- aduate of medicine of Queen's U sity and immediately caught a e with the Tigers. id Awrey: "Doc McCann play= 'ed every game and required little help at any time. He was big, husky and fast, could take care of himself in any kind of going and was a tower of strength up front ere power and ability were need= in large quantities. Doc was pop- ular with players and fans alike, s¢ much so that while he was with the club only two seasons, he was nominated for the presidency in 1912." +. The future cabinet minister left Hamilton to take post-graduate work at the University of Chicago and later he settled at Renfrew, not far from Perth where he was 'born in 1887. «He entered the House of Com- 'mons in 1935, as Liberal member for Renfrew South and won re=- FOR QUICK MOVING USE A BELL TENT By JACK WELCH During a number of seasons of camping in wilderness or semi- wilderness country I've found the umbrella tent most satisfactory of those I've used, that is if the camp site can be reached by car or by means of a boat capable of trans- porting rather bulky equipment. Chief advantages of the modern umbrella tent is that it is easy to pitch, on uneven ground if neces- sary, provides maximum room, once properly set up can withstand the battering of any ordinary storm, and it doesn't weigh too much. An 8x8-ft. umbrella tent complete with fly or canopy and pegs tips the beam at about 70 pounds, while a 10x10-ft. size weighs around 10 pounds more. You can lighten the load a bit by leaving the iron pegs at home and cutting your own on the spot, but the saving in weight is scarcely justified by the extra labor involved, particularly if you're in a hurry to get under shelter in the face of approaching rain. ' Your tent should have a sewed- in floor cloth, a mosquito net door curtain, a fly and one or more ventilators, i.e, canvas flaps that can be rolled down over an opening covered with mosquito =etting, or bobbinet. One side wall to be at- tached to the fly helps keep out driving rain, but two walls are scarcely necessary; a second one just adds' that much more weight. The umbrella tent in itself isn't too heavy or bulky for transporta- tion in an ordinary 17 or 18-foot canoe, but it helps occupy consid- able space when you consider the ding, cooking utensils and pad- dlers that can be packed in with it. The umbrella tent is much more easily pitched than the old-fashion- ed wall tent, but the latter has its place where a more or less perma- nent dwelling place is required.

The Hamilton Sharpes have their roots deep in the soil of old Ontario. The greatgrandfather of Mike and Ben was known far and widely as "Boss of the Grand River Swamp." In fact, it may be from his exploits that the legends of Paul Bunyan grew. His son "Big Ben" was fighter and rough-and-tumbler, too.

MORRISON "The club turned in my hands Just as I was hitting the ball," ex- plained Bill Wiley. Bill had just missed the green with an easy six iron shot, one that he generally plays very well, And, .when you miss some of the greens on most club courses you are really in trou- ble, the sort that makes you wonder if you are truly enjoying the sum- mer sunshine. Another member of our four some, Charlie Stauffer, added, "The same thing happens to me very of- ten. I'd like to know how to pre- vent it." I told them about the ex- ercise I have found most helpful. It is extremely simple and can be done outdoors anywhere in a few minutes. It is just swinging an iron club se that the clubhead cuts a clear path through long grass. Very often I do not touch a club for weeks or months. Even the Tractice swings I intend to make are never made. The influence of my pupils' habits, such as procras- tination, has finally reached my own routine. © When I do have to play a game I am in dire need of any and all measures that serve to minimize errors that result through lack of practice. There is nothing more unsatisfactory than losing your hold on the club during the swing. Along with spoiling the shot it wrecks your morale, it makes you\ uncertain gbout your whole gamé\_ 8 I have minimized the danger of letting go witta the hands, or the related fault of locking the wrists through trying to grip tightly, sim- ply by spending several minutes at grass cutting before the game. Pick a spot where the grass stands -a foot or more high and start with an easy swing. Use your regular grip without extra effort to' keep the clubhead from turning. Use plenty of wrist action in the backswing and you'll soon have the 'clubhead cutting through the grass like a razor. GRASS-CUTTING HELPS YOUR GOLF CONTROL Aex J.

Canadian Press Staff Writer Bdmonton, June 11---(CP)--Har- old (Kayo) Kilgour, a shuffling middleweight, has boxing fans In Calgary wondering just how good he is. Kilgour, in scoring his eighth straight knockout victory, rinished the job so quickly that there were some doubts about the calibre of his opponent, George Cote of Winnipeg. Kilgour, no wslightly lame in one leg after being wounded while overseas with the Army, scored a technical knockout over Cote who came from the Pacific coast with what his manager said was a rec- ord of seven straight wins. The Winnipeg fighter took a terrific beating before tlie referee stepped in. Tom (Calgary Albertan) Moore, in commenting on the fight, said: "The fans are still wondering just how good Kilgour really is-- would be ready to go back soon to see him work again if he can be matched with someone they know. That was the big trouble with Cote --he wasn't known personally but came to the city with a high-class reputation that pictured him as something of a big shot in the fistic game but all he offered was a wide- open target for Kilgour to hang one on." Kilgour, who works for a whole- sale oil firm, now may be a logical contender for the Canadian Mid- dleweight Crown held by Roger Wynot of Halifax.

French horse, Epi d'Or VII, tried it and the Jockey Club took a dim view of his behavior. Epi d'Or VII showed atrocious manners in a race at Kempton Park and the winner, Royal Tara, was twice nipped in the quarters. The second, and final, nip occurred 100 yards frcen the post and maybe that was what gave Royal Tara the extra incentive to win by a neck. Kempton stewards immediately inquired into the French colt's be- |: havior and reported it to the Jockey | Club. Now if he wants to race again in < The | B08 Sta INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE w. L. Pet.
