Big Names of Fore Circles Ready to Go Toronto, July 14 -- (CP)--Almost all the names that are big time golf were here today to start practice firing in preparation for the 72-hole $10,000 Canadian Open Champion- ship, scheduled to run its par-break- ing gamut at the Toronto Scarboro Club, Wednesday through Saturday. With all returns in the entry list has reached a record 165, 53 of the competitors Canadians who will be trying their best to keep the cham- pionship in Canada for the first time since 1914. Wood.Leonard to Battle 'And the two Canadian pros con- ceded the best chance of turning that little trick were the first to arrive in Toronto. Freddy Wood and Stan Leonard of Vancouver disem- barked from their plane at 4 a.m. Sunday and a few hours later were getting their first look at the Scar- boro layout with Quebec's Gerry Proulx and host pro Bob Gray, the new Ontario Open king. Proulx was the only one to keep a scorecard and he lopped two strokes off par 71. Leonard last year ended only one stroke behind co-leaders George Fazio and Dick Metz. Considered a fairly short course, Scarboro makes its par 71 hard to shoot with a rolling terrain and water hazards that either cross or run alongside 14 of the 18 holes. Bobby Locke Favorite South Africa's Bobby Locke has been installed as favorite at 3% to 1 to win it all. He was scheduled to arrive in Toronto today from Buf- falo, where he played an exhibition match Sunday. The official practice sessions open- ed this morning and will continue tomorrow, Late tomorrow afternoon 12 of the visiting pros will conduct a golf clinic.for the benefit of golf- ing spectators before plunging into the money run on Wednesday. The Toronto golf .crowd are pin. ning their hopes on Leonard for a Canadian win. The small but long- driving pro from the coast says he is playing the best golf of his career and did a rather good Job of proving it a week ago when he shot an eight-under-par 132 to win the 36- hole Peace Portal Open, a few miles from Vancouver. Frigidaire Team Entertains UAWA, Game Rained Out ------ The UAWA Softball club travel- led to Leaside on Saturday even- ing to play an exhibition game with the Frigidaire Club, undefeat- ed leaders of their Industrial loop. This game was very well adver- tised in the Toronto newspapers and also over the air and it was most unfortunate that it had to be called off due to a last minute thunder shower which made the dia- mond unplayable. Both teams were out on the field warming up when the weather suddenly changed and the diamond was completely flood- ed by the rain which lasted for about fifteen minutes. A large crowd of spectators was in attendance and it was quite evi- dent that this game was a feature attraction to the Leaside fans who had to leave tie park disappointed. Despite the fact that the game had to be called off, arrangements were made by the Frigidaire offi- cials for all the members of both clubs to assemble at the Royal York hotel in Toronto. With the members and officials of both clubs accompanied by their wives and girl friends in attend- ance, a buffet lunch and refresh- ments was served by the Frigidaire Club. Mr. Reg. A. Jordan, Public Rela- tions, Frigidaire, welcomed the Oshawa club on behalf of the Fri- gidaire Co. and Alex Donaldson ex- pressed thanks on behalf of the UAWA party. After a most enjoyable evening which was featured by a sing song with "Tart" Trimm accompanying on the piano, the Oshawa party left for home im the best of spirits. Arrangements have been com- pleted for these clubs to play an exhibition game at Alexandra Park on Saturday evening, July 26th, and this should be a real tussle, softball fans should make a note of this date, Sat. July 26th, at 6.45 p.m. An advertisement will appear in this paper at a later date. Largest Selection In Oshawa! | LIBERAL TERMS YOUR OLD CAR AS DOWN PAYMENT 1942 Chevrolet [Today's Special!

Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON JR. gling into the subway after Tony Zale knocked out Rocky Graziano last fall, a veteran boxing writer remarked: "It doesn't matter if I don't get a seat; I've been stand- ing for six rounds, anyway." .. It was that kind of a fight--a thriller to-be remembered for years--with two deadly punchers hammernig away at each other; Zale going down, battered and apparently helpless and struggling to his feet again. . , You were just admiring his futile gameness when Tony sud- denly sank his right into Rocky's body and it was Graziano sitting helplessly on the canvass while he was counted out. . .

By SYD THOMAS Montreal, July 13--(CP)--An en- couraging sign that Boxing Com. ,| missions can learn something from grim experience came last week when the Montreal Athletic Com. mission stepped from its usual pas- sive role to halt the proposed re- match between Lol Alter and Jean Richard. If the fight had gone through, it would have been the third in 14 days for Richard, who fought in Halifax a week ago and met Alter in a wild and wildly-disputed match just the week before that. And that's a lot of scrapping for an 18- year-old youngster, even though he seems in perfect shape. e Three doctors advised Fred Duclos of the Montreal Commission that it would be too much of a strain on Richard's strength, and the Chairman wisely postponed the bout to prevent any possible trag- Ed | Fronsdanl of Norway, ooks like tro Fo m 5 in the Richmond and rider continued on {heir way.

It's fairly obvious that something cropped up to change the Com. missioner's mind, since Dink (Mon- treal Gazette) Carroll points out that Promoter Raoul Godbout was given permission to stage the match last Tuesday. Furthermore, Godbout says, the Commission's rules allow a fighter to step back in the ring six days after a fight, Whither Cope? Everybody has lots of fun guess- ing where Royal Copeland of To- ronto Argonauts will wind up this coming football season, with prac- tically everyone except Cope him- self in the know. Baz (Montreal Star) O'Meara re- ports that the flashy backfield star and co-passer of Big Joe Krol will wind up with Ottawa Trojans of the O.R.F.U.,, according to the Troj- ans, But adds Baz, "If their chances are good, then those of (Montreal) Alouettes are better. Argos may be better than both of them." Trojans might make the grade in the chase to capture the starry Cope, credited by more than one ob- server with being the backbone of Argos even more than the great in- dividualist, Krol. Trojans have a bankroll behind them and aren't afraid to use it to collect some needed talent to get them out of the cellar. orse of one of the competitors |- London -- (OP) -- Telephone lines damaged by winter snow and flood totalled 200,000.

Track Meet Toronto, July 14--(CP)--8eventy athletic lasses and a bleacher count of approximately 200 glimpsed cakewalk racing at Varsity Stadium here Saturday when Doreen Clough of Montreal breezed easy triumph in the 60 and 100-metre open dash- es of the Ontario Women's Track and Field championships. Muscular Miss Clough, who strides with a man's determination and movement, is Canada's 1948 Olympic Games hopeful and her convincing victories Saturday--she was never pressed -- indicated she would tender a top-flight effort against the world's best next year. She is a runner who has what it takes to make a champion. It might be added, however, that De Miss Clough's handy wins were made easier by the ahsence of Cleveland's Stella Walsh, benched with a leg injury. Doreen whipped Stella recently at Montreal. Joan Davis of Toronto Ted Da- vey's Track Club, formerly a "St. Catharines pacer, was secondary highlight. She won the senior 80- metre hurdles, the running broad jump and the running high jump, which accounted for her troupe capturing the club championship, donated by the Women's Amateur Athletic Federation, Ontario Branch. Verna Myers of Toronto Malvernettes won the P. J. Mul- queen Memorial Trophy and the Misses Junior Athlete Title. In one of the feature events for men, Ted Haggis of London, Ont., flashed across the tape in the in- vitation 100-yard dash over Toron- to University's Jimmy O'Brien. Bob MacFarlane, London's track and gridiron star, who had heen favor- ed to win the event did not appear. The performance of Beatrice Bourne, Phyllis Adams and Alice Taylor, all of Courtice, Ont., in fin- ishing first, second and third in the junior baseball throw was all that could be said for Ontario contes- tants other than those of Toronto. A first by Ronng Evans of Bow- manville in the junior running broad jump; a third by Winnie Rudge of St. Catharines in a dash, and seconds by Helen More and Shirley Thomas of Hamilton in a 60-metre dash and running broad jump respectively were the only outside Toronto tallies.
