By ED ROMAINE Canadian Press Staff Writer Vancouver, May 6--(CP)--Sour notes, charging the Canadian Am- ateur Basketball Association with inefficiency, have come from sports writers accompanying Vancouver Clover Leafs on their across-Can- ada tour. The charges arose after Clover Leafs, defending Dominion Basket- ball champs, overcame Alberta and Saskatchewan titlists. Reg (Vancouver Province) Moir says in both Magrath, Alta., and Regina there was a lack of under- | standing about commitments made by each province toward the proper functioning of the playoff series. As a result, Clover Leafs now are "in the hole" financially. "It would seem time for the Can- adian Amateur Basktball Associa- tion to clean house," Moir says. "In every other sport the na- tional bodies exercise a tight rein over important playoffs. The C.A. B.A. leaves this to the teams con- cerned." Moir contends that apparently concerned only with the Dominion finals in Montreal and the Olympic trials in Toronto, the C.A.B.A. treated the Western series like poor relations. "No responsible officer of the C.A.B.A. was present at either Magrath or Regina. As a result financial misunderstandings incur- red at both places will give rise to trouble for weeks to come." "To put it 'bluntly, the guaran- tees that the Vancouver team felt were proper, were not met until they reached Winnipeg." Th Vancouver team found that after defeating Winnipeg Paulins in the Western final, the "poor" schedule arrangement of the C.A. B.A. cost them an extra $200 to reach Montreal in time for the Dominion finals. The Clover Leafs had to fly to Fort William in order to catch up with train schedules. Moir says the extra expense of the air trip should not be shoulder- ed by the defending champions. "All this uproar. about finances is indicative of the low calibre of administration in Canalian Ame- teur Basketball Assocation today."

Vancouver Puts Montreal YMHA To Final Test Montreal, May 6 -- (CP)--Mont- real Y.MH.A. their backs to the wall, tangle with Vancouver Clover Leafs topight in the fourth game of the Dominion Senior Basketball finals and a triumph for Leafs will give them the crown. Leading the best-of-five series 2. 1, Leafs will be heavy favorites to take tonight's affair and bring Bri- tish Columbia its third straight Canadian senior title. But after his charges had dispos- ed of Montreal 63.41 'Tuesday, Leafs coach Ralph Henderson warned, "they beat us once-afid can very well do it again. We' un take em one at a time." A sell-out crowd is assured for the game, 1,400 of the 2,000 seats having been gobbled up an hour af- ter they were put up for sale. About 2,000 ticketless fans were turned away from the gate Tuesday as only 600 seats were sold at the door. If Blues hope to halt the Leafs, they will have to sharpen up their shooting. In Tuesday's affair, the 'YX' had T1 shots on the basket but only dropped in 13. Vancouver sank 24 out of 58 tries. YESTERDAY'S STARS Batting--Vern Stephens, Red. Sox, broke up the ball game with 11th inning homer for 4-3 edge over Tigers, Pitching--Kent Peterson, Reds, limit- ed New York Glants to five hits in first start of season for 5-2 victory, Sports Shorts From Britain London, May 6--(CP)--Fifteen hundred teams which make up the Club Cricket Conference will return to wartime arrangements to over- come difficulties caused by the ban on pleasure motoring if they fol- low the advice of chairman E. H. Cooper. Cooper suggests teams should come to agreements, whereby the home club provides most of the equipment to be used by both sides, as was done during the war by non- service organizations. "By being able to borrow pads and gloves from the home club, a visiting team would not have to ask two of its members to carry a heavy club bag on crowded buses and trains," he said.
