"We cannot all be masters," said a member of the home team, borrowing a_ phrase from their latest effort, Othello. Shortstop Mitch Ryan, who at night plays the evil Iago in Othello, lashed out a single, came around to score and helped himself to a_ beer.

(CP) -- Ontario Attorney-Gen- eral Arthur Wishart pledged Thursday night to investigate a case of alleged discrimination againsi Indians here for the an- nual conference of the National Indian Council. Mr. Wishart, addressing con- ference delegates in his home town at a banquet provided by the Ontario government, said he was sorry about 'an unfortun- ate incident that occurred here today"--an incident in which the baggage of about 30 Indians was removed from their rooms at a local motel and they were asked to leave. The Indians accused the hotel management of racial discrim- ination, but the proprietor de- nied the charge. Mr. Wishart said of the inci- dent: "I shall find. out what should be done. I give you that assurance." He said he had just heard about' the case and would seek further information before de- ciding what action may be nec- essary. HEARD ABOUT BAGS Word was received during the morning session of the confer- ence at the nearby Garden River Indian Reserve that the baggage of the Indians, staying at the Pine Grove Motel along the Trans-Canada Highway, was be- ing removed and placed on the sidewalk unattended. The wife of motel owner Sid- ney J. Hilderley told reporters the Indian occupants of 10 of the 20 motel. rooms had been asked to leave on the grounds of overcrowding and drinking. "It is perfectly legal to give you notice," she said, "We need the rooms." Late Thursday, Mr. Hilderley insisted the Indians had not been evicted. "Their rooms were emptied of baggage so they could be cleaned," he said. Questioned about his wife's statement that the Indians were being asked to leave, Mr. Hild- erley said: 'I don't know any- thing about what my wife said."

Chief Wilfred Bellegarde of Goodeve, Sask., one of the for- mer occupants of the motel, commented: 'I would sleep out there on the white line of the highway before I would sleep here again." Jean Cuthand, executive direc- tor of the Winnipeg Indian-Metis Friendship Centre, said the pro- prietors "used us as tourist at- tractions" Wednesday when most of the Indians were dress in native costumes for a cere- mony.
