12 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, August 10, 1008 SEASON TICKET SALE BRISK Grey Cup Holders Ready Keep Toronto Fans Happy By WILF GRUSON Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP) -- Frank Clair, on his record the most successful of the American coaches who have invaded Canadian football, leads his Toronto Argnauts into the 1953 Big Four season with his hopes high and his fingers crossed. The studious, efficient former coach of the University of Buffalo is aiming at another Grey Cup title with the club that without argument has become the glamor team of football because of its out- standing success competitively and financially. It already is assured of another highly successful season financially with a record pre-season ticket sale of around 15,000 for each of its seven home games in the 27,500- seat Varisty Stadium. Clair helped achieve that in his new and other role this season as the club's gen- eral manager but the toughest part of his job lies ahead. It involves guiding the Scullers to their third Grey Cup since he became coach four years ago. He did it in the 1950-52 seasons and Clair--not one to make rash state- in addition to Moorhead and. Moo- maw if the big linebacker should decide to stick around for 'the full schedule. The six imports with the club last year and their last American teams are: Quarterback Nobby Wirkowski, Miami University (Ox- ford, Ohio); offensive halfback Ulysses Curtis; Florida A and M; offensive end Al Bruno, Philadel- phia Eagles; offensive end Zeke O'Connor, New York Yankees; defensive tackle Jack Carpenter, Buffalo Bills; and defensive centre Red Ettinger, New York Giants. The other imports Clair can choose from are quarterback Don Panciera, Chicago Cardinals, of- fensive end Al Pfeifer, Fordham University; offensive guard Joe Soboleski, Dallas Texans; defen- sive centre or guard Jim Slowey, Georgetown University; offensive full backs Clarence Johnson, North- western University, and Tom Mc- Keever, University of Cincinnati; and Johnny Pont, a fast, tricky running halfback who starred with Toronto Balmy Beach of the On- tario Rugby Football Union last season. Besides all these Americans there is veteran defensive half ments--summarizes his doing it again as "pretty good" with one string attached. "The other three clubs in the Big Four are all improved," he says. "But we are also and if we can get by with a minimum of injuries, our chances are pretty good." The Argos, who won the Big Four title last season by defeating Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a three- ame playoff and then whipped dmonton Eskimos for the Grey Cup, have lost only one key player last year's championship squad--defensive halfback Ed Soer- . gel, now in the United States army. However, Clair believes he has | strengthened his defensive team considerably with the addition of two imports chosen on the all- American defensive team last year. They are halfback Bobby Moor- head from Georgia Tech and Don Moomaw, a towering, 220-pound, six-foot-four-inch linebacker from the University of California. They will be two of the 11 im- | rts Argos will carry until Oct. , with only eight playing each june. On that date the import t must be cut to eight for the remainder of the season. Unless he changes his mind, Moomaw, who is studying for the ministry, plans #o play only one month and then return to college. Clair's selection of his }1 imports Jiobably won't be made until a w days before the club opens the season against Montreal Alou- ettes Aug. 26 in a twilight game here.

Tight Races For Batting Honors NEW YORK (AP)--Ted Klu- zewski, Cincinnati first baseman, is making 1953 his best year in six major league campaigns, with a good chance of winning the Na- tional League's batting and home run titles. Kluszewski collected 13 hits in 34 trips last week and picked up four points to move into third place with a .331 average. He also drove out two homers and now trails Eddie Mathews, the leader, by only Monte Irvin of New York Giants continues to head the National League hitters with a .339 mark. Carl Furillo, Brooklyn outfielder, moved into the runner-up slot at .336, with a 10-for-22 performance last week. Roy Campanella of Brooklyn Dodgers has driven in most runs--111. In the American League, Mickey Vernon maintains his No. 1 position with .331. But Minnie Minoso of Chicago White Sox has climbed to within two points of the Wash- ington first sacker. Minoso gained seven points to .328, on 12 hits in 21 at bats. Records include Sun- day's games. Behind Vernon and Minoso in the American League comes Al Rosen, Cleveland, .320. Rosen-leads in runs batted in with 101 and is tied with Philadelphia's Gus Zernial for the most home runs, 29 each.

Males, stance, restrict their movements to an acre or two in spring but wander over 20 acres or more in summer.
