SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE En SS TEs, PAGE NINETEEN At Least These Referees Prefer The Hot Weather By AL VICKERY Brandon, Man., May 20--(CP)-- While most people perspire during thé hot summer months, one group takes to cooling off these days. They are the hockey referees, whose ears burned all winter long as coaches, players, spectators and sport columnists tellowed loudly at the many difficult decisions. Brandon-born Jimmy Creighton probably knows how to shoulder abuse better than most--he's an alderman of two years' standing. Jimmy, now 41, learned his early hockey on the river, playing scrub hockey where it was every man for himself. V/hen he became oyver-age for junior competition, Creighton hook- ed up with Yorkton Terriers, then Melville Millionaires, finally went back to Brandon seniors. In all these years, he failed to catch on with a championship club. Creighton handled junior clubs at Brandon and Portage la Prairie, Man., before turning referee. But take it from him: "It takes longer to learn refereeing than it does to learn to play hockey." "Reading the C.AH.A. Manual once is not good enough," says Jimmy. "If coaches made a study of the rules, then held classes for the players at which the rules were ex- plained, we officials wouldn't have | to put up with such small-time arguments." But the wiry ex-pro believes no | referee is perfect. And most could stand "brushing up on the rules." "Mike" Rodden, well-known east- ern sports writer and referee, once said of Creighton that players of Jimmy's type made it easy for a referee to handle a game. Creighton also feels that the practice today of shooting the puck into the corners and chasing in after it is tougher on the refs than in the "good old stick-handling days." ) Sta INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE WwW.

"SCOTTY" REID "Scotty" will be remembered as a member of the Oshawa Generals | who bowed to St. Boniface Seals in | the Memorial Cup finals in 1938 and apparently he's still the hard-work- ing performer who seldom hits the headlines but always comes up with | a steady game. We give you the article, by "R.G.." | as it appeared: | © "Not- so long ago if the "World" { had been asked who they thought was the most nondescript player in | British hockey, they would have had no hesitation whatsoever in [aneiting "Scotty" Reid with none- too-flattering valuation. | "Never has this writer seen a player who could draw so little at- tention patrolling up and down a wing. No doubt, Lou Bates at the! | same time felt the same way, be- cause "Scotty" was dropped and | there was talk of the Oshawa lad | Scotland. | "Reid got a break when Tony | Senyuk couldn't come to terms with | Paul Hebert. Lions needed a de- | fenceman in the worst way. Paul | thought of the idea of giving | "Scotty" a chance to make a come- | back on the defence. "And this is the point of our story. | "Scotty" has been making, good | with a vengeance. Teamed out there | with bustling Don Thomson, "Scot- | ty" covers blocks and feeds his red | line men ably and timely. You're which is something you couldn't say for the kid when he was covering a | wing. | "The World" is pleased to be able to hand a credit line to '"Scotty" | got very few breaks. He never squirmed, argued or fumed. He kept trying and as it so often happens in { ice hockey, changing a man's posi- tion does the miracle. A poor winger [and in the case of "Scotty" Reid, | that's just what happened. "Scotty" was born in Glasgow, March 23, 1920, and the family moved to Oshawa. He weighs 165 lbs.,, which isn't too heavy for a defenceman, but he's built close to the ground, and stands up well to the going behind the blue line. "In recent matches, and especially the local derby against Monarchs, | which ended in a 3-3 tie, "Scotty" caught the eye many a time and it | was his consistent high standard of defensive Lockey in recen' matches which suggested this article. | "As to next season, "Scotty" wouldn't be averse to returning | either to Wembley or the Scottish League. Being a native Scot, he has | a liking for the land of the haggis and didn't feel as other players sometimes have, that he was going into the unknown when Wembley sent him north of the border. "It's no secret that he would have been offered a regular berth had Wembley not recalled him." LOCKE A "LAGGING" PUTTER Golfers can benefit greatly by borrowing a bit of technique from the good old game of marbles; it is called "lagging." Remember how you, lagged the 'agate, or whatever marble you were shooting with, up close to your target? It was a - fectly sensible thing to do, eve smart marble player did it. By so doinig he got the job done with the fewest possible number of shots. The marble player who made a habit of doing this beat most of | his opponents, won most of the marbles. So, why should a golfer be ashamed of using the same tactics? | Bobby Ldcke isn't. He drops more than his share of long putts, does so because he is comparatively re- ° laxed when making a distance putt. This relaxation, in part, comes through the knowledge that he is not likely to take three putts. He has used "lagging" to great ad- vantage as many of his opponents will testify. Just consider a few of the angles to "lagging." With 'a 20-foot putt you generally find the line between your ball and the cup most ques- tionable. ~ If there are no rolls up or down or to.the side there may be depressions, worm casts or conflicting grains in the turf. Any of these -greatly minimize your chances of dropping such. a putt; certainly they would' make you press with your attempt to hit the | cup and by pressing you would miss the touch needed to roll the ball Just right. | On the other hand if you rea- | soned that two putts would be good encugh from that distance you | could go about the job rather eas- | ily. You could visualize a circle of ! Yi Bobby Locke, of South Africa, owes | much of his success to excellent putting. In turn, this excellency comes through "lagging" instead of pressing to make long putts, op ob about two feet in- diameter "and with two putts all you have to do is let your ball come to rest within this two-foot circle. . To do this you don't have to be too particular about the precise line, just "lag" it up like a marble. Englishman Meets Stranahan In Open Sandwich, Kent, England, May 29--(AP)--Frank Stranahan, son of an Ohio millionaire, met Charlie Stowe, a £7 ($28) a week Enclich motor mechanic, today for the Bri- tish Amateur Golf Championship It was Stranahan's third try for tie title and the first time he had | advanced to the finals. Stowe, who eliminated defending champion Willie Turnesa of White Plains, N. Y., Friday, also was playing in the final round for the first time. Stowe and Stranahan, Canadian A Amateur Champion, had met once | before in a Walker Cup match a year ago at St. Andrews. Stranahan | won that one 2 and 1. Stowe was in good form through the quarter and semi-final. In the quarter-final round he disposed of | Charles Lawrie, conqueror of Dick Charman, 6- and 5. He played well against Turnesa, finally winning on the 18th hole when Willie missed a four-foot putt past a hlaf-Stymie by half an inch. Stranahan continued his consist- ently good golf yesterday. He whip- ped Mario Gonzalez of Brazil, 4 and 2, in the morning round and came back to eliminate Denis Martin of | London 3 and 1, in the semi-finals. The final round is 36 holes over | the par 70 royal St. George course. | Big League | Yesterday | | By BEN PHLEGAR | Connie Mack, whose luck seems. to be all good for a change this year, apparently has found the relief man he wants in the veteran Nelson Potter. | Mack's Philadelphia Athletics fig- ure to have just about the best pit- ching staff in the American League. But Connie wanted an efperienced man to play fireman when one was needed. A couple of weeks ago the Ath- letics bought Potter from the St. Louis Browns in a straight cash deal. - Starter Then | Strictly a starting pitcher with the Browns ever since 1943, Potter has been used three times by Phia- delphia, always in relief. He worked once in a losing cause, then saved a game for Joe Coleman. Friday night in Shibe Park against New York Yankees he clinched the job. He entered the game in the fifth with two on and none out. He escaped without a run and from then on the Yanks couldn't move past first. ! In all, Potter gave up only two hits and received credit for the 6- 3 victory. It was the sixth in a row for the A's who maintained their one-game first-place margin over | Cleveland. Chisox Defeated Cleveland stayed right behind by | Whipping Chicago White Sox 2-0 in Chicago. Don Black and Christop- | her gave up only five hits but were in trouble several times. On three occasions the Sox loaded the bases | but failed to score. | Boston Red Sox slipped to sev- enth place again by losing to the Senators' 2-1, in Washington, A seventh-inning rally brought the Browns a 5-4 victory over De- iroit and moved them to within three percentage points of the fourth-place Tigers. In the National League, St. Louis Cardinals increased their first-place lead to three full games over New York Giants, although rain short- ened their game in Pittsburgh to a 1-1 six-inning tie. Phils In 1st Half i The Giants couldn't handle Phil- adelphia. Phils in the Polo Grounds and lost 6-3. New York manager Mel Ott announced he was playing the game under protest after a ninth inning argument, but the dis- pute involved an umpire's judgment | and the protest isn't likely to get anywhere, Brooklyn Dodgers, finally caught up with Boston Braves and beat them 7-5 in Boston. It was the first time the Dodgers had turned the trick in the last nine games between the two clubs, ! Hank Sauer hit his 11th and 12th home runs and Grady Hatton and Johnny Wyrostek chipped in with | four baggers for Cincinnati Reds against Chicago Cubs, but the long | blows weren't enough. The Cubs came from far behind and nosed out the Reds 10-8 at Cincinnati, International League Action Frank Lamanna, who decided to switch from the mound to the out- field in 197, is proving a valuable performer for the high-flying New- ark Bears. ' Lamanna has appeared in our | games as a relief pitcher for the International League leaders, win- ning one and saving a few others, but he has enjoyed more success in pinch-hitting roles. Batting over the .300 mark, he belted a three-run pinch-hit home run Friday night with two out in the ninth inning to lead the Bears | to. a 5-4 triumph over the second- | place Syracuse Chiefs. The victory was the 10th.in a row for the Bears and it stretched their first-place margin to two | games, The- third-place Montreal Royals | moved to within haif a game of the | Chiefs as a result of their 11-6 vic- | tory over Bufialo Bisons. Jersey City Giants trounced Bal- timore Orioles 12-4 to move over the | Bisons into fourth place. | In a pitcher's battle, Emory (Bub- ba) Church of Toronto Maple Leafs | outpitched Ray Yochim of Roches- ter Red Wings 3-2." Yochim yielded only three hits | but his nine walks cost him the game. Ed Sanicki, who homered in two runs in the fifth, si 3led with the bases loaded in the ninth to break up the game.

In a disnlay of "iron-man" sta- mina, the lanky Montrealer pinned three rivals in as many bouts, ad- vancing through a gruell'ng nizht's wrestiing without a single point being scored against him. Seven others survived last night's grap- pling without losing points, but | none of them had to equal Hudson's | ordeal of three bouts. [ Bob Cleater of Vancouver, n'ne- time dominion champion, provided Toronto fans with a sensational 147% pound class bout in which he took a hard-fought decision over Ray Ricci of Montreal after a ref- eree erroneously called a fall on Cleater. As grunt-and-groan ad- dicts shouted angrily and hurled miscellaneous objects on the mat, officials found the referee in error, and ordered the pair to fizht three { minutes past the 15-minute Olym- | pic time limit. Among Eliminated Among those eliminated were Vic Jensen of Guelph and Lloyd Iller- brun, Kitchener. Under the Olympic point-scoring system, a competitor is eliminated when he has five points or more marked against him. Loser of a bout receives three of the unwanted points; a winner who pins his rival | Teceives none, but if he wins by de- cision he receives one. i In a 138!2 pound match, Mario Crete, of Montreal scored a decision Sports Cols. By EDGAR SIMON Canalian Press Staff Writer Toronto, May 29--(CP)--A group of lacrosse efficials may have the answer to the problem of squelch- ing argumentative coaches and players. Noting the extra-curricular high- jinks that marked hockey play-offs as well as many of their own games in recent years, the solons of the Interprovincial Lacrosse League are trying a plan that hits offending clubs where it hurts. Tre . gimmick, as explained by Art fCornwall Standard-Frechold- er) Cameron, involves two per cent of the gate receipts of each game, deducted by the Quebec- Ontario loop for its fund." This fund, less operating expenses, normally will be returned to the clubs at the end of the sea- son. But there's a string attached. Fines levied against teams or play- ers will be deducted from the re- fundable portion of the fund, making a rowdy club financially responsitle for its behavior. Whether they prefer to see a lacrosse game or a Donnybrook, fans will be sure clause fining teams for late starts at a rate of $1 a minute. Other fines will be levied on teams refus- ing to continue play in the middle of a game or "making a farce out of a contest."
