\ THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE >. PAGE FIFTEEN Splay' Bits From Other Sports Cols. By JIM McCURDY Canadian Press Staff Writer Edmonton, May 27 (CP).--The hockey season may be over for another five months but you never would know it from the sport pages of Alberta's newspapers. A choice bit comes from Don (Edmonton Journal) Fleming on amateurism in the ice game, Fleming quotes from a speech by Dr. W. G. Hardy, president of the Flyers, 1948 Allan Cup champions. Dr. Hardy said "An amateur in the eyes of the C.AH.A. (as well as affiliated hockey bodies) is a piayer whose sole or chief means of livelihood is not derived from sport." The English professor at the University of Alberta said he threw up his own amateur standing, as far as Olympic standards were con- cerned, in early youth by winning 50 cents in a picnic tug-of-war. Canadian hockey broke away from the Amateur Athletic Union and the C.AH.A, never had at- tempted to fool anyone. Olympic standards were 'just plain silly." Of the vast number of men and lads who played hockey across the continent, not more than 2,000 got out-of-pocket expenses, Dr. Hardy added. It cost others both time and money and they were entitled to amateur rating. The C.AH.A. was, in effect, a community non-profit organization, largely opposed to individuals or corporations filling their own cof- fers. The association differs there from professional leagues. Care May Quit Bert (Edmonton Bulletin) Greer mentions that Bob Carse, a spark of the Cleveland Barons team that won the American Hockey League's 1948 championship, may hang up his skates. In the insurance business now and looking to the future, he is said to feel he may have fought his last hockey wars. Last Mark Not Last of Line As Brother Foaled Brantford, May 27--(CP)--Mec- Tab, 28-year-old brood smare that foaled Last Mark three years ago, yesterday produced a half-brother to the King's Plate winner. Lad- field was the sire. Last Mark, son of Koenigsmark and foaled when McTab was 25, was given that name because it seemed he would be the last of the mare's line. The name turned out to be appropriate anyway, because Koenigsmark subsequently died. The mare appeared lively after foaling her new potential King's Plate winner, Dr. L. M. Walker re- ported. The foal, a colt, was born on Jim Fair's stock farm at nearby Cainsville, St. Gregory's End Bowling Season; Banquet, Dance St. Gregory's Bowling League held their annual banquet at the Legion Hall on Thursday, May 20th which was a great success.

This has a parallel in golf. Countless players throw away the use of the left side in swinging a club. Duffers would give much to enjoy anything like the proper use of this side. They can be giving the proper attention to this weaker side. Lacy Mathias, of Riverside, Cal, is one of those players who had come by a fairly good left side ac- tion rather painlessly. He had Kon? 4 HA RE 7 The author demonstrates how charge at the beginning of wind-up, : He ' * ok op learned to play, more or less by imitation, during school days.

In his starting position and the beginning of his backswing he de- liberately favored the right side. This was done by waggling the In fact, he clubhead forward of the ball, hold- | ing the club so the shaft pointed toward his right shoulder and then starting his hands back before the clubhead left the ground. This drag-back was the most damaging of all movements -- it definitely placed the right side in| control of the swing and did away with ny chances of the left side functioning properly. All of his i | shots were hit with a sort of slap with one hand, the right. I had him line up in the starting position shown in the picture above, ball opposite the heel of the left foot, club pointing toward 'the left shoulder, hands ahead of the ball with the entire right side compar- atively relaxed.

This line-up and way of starting the backswing gives your left side a good chance to wind up properly and function during the downswing : so that you use two hands instead of only one. WRESTLING TONIGHT -- 8:3 SEE BILL STACK + GEO. PITKEATLY at the OSHAWA ARENA Prince Hardy, Hope Street, Julian, | wall, Ravenswood, Usher, Tormie, | | Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. St. Louis, May 27--(AP)-- Base- ball fans usually think of Ted Wil- liams as a guy who isnt interested in anything but hitting--during a ball game, that is. . .But you can take it from an admiring team- mate, Boo Ferriss, that Ted's field- ing ability has been greatly under- rated, . .Ted has made himself into a lot better fielder than he is given credit for being, says Ferriss. . . "And don't overlook his throwing. Why, in Chicago he made a throw from deep left that was as good as any I ever saw". After belting one homer into the right field upper deck of Chicago's 'Comiskey Park, against the wind, Ted almost hit a homer into left. . .And Tuesday night he hit a left-field double here, but that obviously was a han- dle hit. Ferriss and Warmer Ferriss, who hasn't been burning up the league on the pitching mound this spring, still maintains that there's no particular hitter who treats him like a "cousin". . "Of course, there's a fellow named Joe Dimaggio," Boo adds, with a smile, "He hits pretty good." Golf Gathering The best-ball card for the recent Professional Golfers Association tournament was 22-23--45, consist- ing of nine deuces and nine threes. ....Think of what you could do with that in a poker game. . . Pass- ing through New York en route to the British Amateur Championship, Frank Stranahan called Freddie Corcoran to ask how he could get along better with British newspaper men. . . Freddie told him: "Treat your caddie right and don't say any- thing". . .That's pretty hard to do, Corcoran admitted, if you get a caddie like one who once laid down Francis Ouimet's bag and stalked off the course because Ouimet dis- agreed with him on what club to use.

Big League Baseball Yesterday By JACK HAND + Associated Press Sports Writer Life in the Polo Grounds is just a series of nightmares for manager Eddie Dyer of St. Louis Cards. Last year his favored Red Birds flutter- ed and played dead when they hit New York. It locks more of the same in 1948. His National League-leaders were rolling along Wednesday night be- hind a nice 7-2 lead with Howie Pollet, the unbeaten star of both leagues, doing the pitching. Then the Giants started to break out of their hitting slump. They hit and hit and hit some more. Before the eighth inning was over eight runs had crossed the plate and the 7-2 lead had changed to a 10-7 deficit. Thomson Doubles Bobby Thomson doubled and sin- gled for two hits in the big inning as the Giants chased Pollet, George | Munger and Gerry Staley before | coasting to a halt for Ken Burk- hart. Pollet escaped his first defeat Tophands of the Tribe High league stature of been the talk of the league. the Cleveland In lians rings smiles to the aces of these Tepee members, from left, Lou Boudreau, Larry Doby and Hank The Indians, along with the Philadelphia Athletics, have because Dyer called in Munger at the first sign of serious trouble. Munger was felled for his second loss.

Johnny Schmitz calmed the Brooks with six well- scattered hits. Hank Sauer's 10th homer helped Cincinnati sneak out of last place. The Reds routed Warren Spahn, Boston's southpaw ace, to come from behind. Herman Wehmeler, who pitched five innings, was cred- ited with his second straight. Once again the American League race is all snarled up in percent- ages. Cleveland, actually trailing Philadelphia b~ half a game in a strict application of the won and lost principle, still holds first place by two percentage points. It's the same old story of a difference in games played. Tribe Shutout Cleveland was shut out Wednes- day for the first time this season but it took two pitchers to do it -- Sid Hudson and Tom Ferrick. Hud- son allowed only one hit in the first seven innings but was replaced in the eighth when the Tribe loaded the bases on two singles and a walk after two were out. The Indians collected only three hits in bowing to Washington, 2-0, for Gene Gerrden's first setback after three straight victories. Philadelphia combed Chicago White Sox 7-1 behind Joe Cole- man's fiye-hit pitching. It was the fourth straight victory for the re- bounding A's who broke loose with five runs in the seventh inning. Detroit Walks Detroit "walked" to a 7-3 nod over New York Yankees when Yank B pitchers passed 10 men. Although touched for 12 hits, Dizzy . Trout took the decision from Spec Shea. It took a double error in the 10th by catcher Les Moss to enable Boston5s Red Sox to down St. Lou- is Browns 5-3. Sam Melee doubled in the tenth and scored when Moss, fielding Dom DiMaggio's sacrifice, fumbled the ball and then threw wildly past first base. International League Action By The Associated Press Young Bob Porterfield, the hot- test pitcher in League, hurled his Newark Bears to within 13 percentage points of hte league-leading Syracuse Chiefs Weungsiay night by beating them -3. It was the seventh straight vic- tory for Porterfield, New York Yankee southpaw farmhand, against no defeats, Going into the top half of the ninth tied 3-3, the Bears reached Syracuse"s Jim Wallace for three runs on three singles, a double, a boot and a walk. In other International games Wednesday night, Jersey City out- slugged Baltimore 14-8 Rochester went 10 innings to beat Montreal 3-2 and Buffalo bowled over the tail-end Toronto Maple Leafs, 8-4. Jack Harshman was the big gun for Jersey City, basing two hom-re and driving in five runs for defending champions. Also hitting for the circuit were Bobby Wilson, Ed Levy and Howie Moss. It was No. 14 for Moss: Hank Behrman was the victim as Montreal fell before Rochester in the International § INTERNATIONAL Peacue Ww. L. Syracuse Buffalo ....
