Teams ~ Heavily By JACK MITCHELL Canadian Press Staff Writer To counter-balance the accent) on youth place by Toronto's rol- Heking young Maple Leafs, the National Hockey League offered ample evidencé today that exper- fence remains a potent factor in this day of the speed-demanding redline rule, For a representative sample of how the old guard is standing the strain, how about the showing of the league's six team captains, whose combined playing time adds up to more than 40 years? | Every -one of the six can be found well up in the scoring sum- aries, Even Toe Blake, the pa- riarch of the sextet at 34, refu- J ted any suggestion of slowing up by turning one of the League's infrequent hat-tricks as his Mon- treal Canadiens whipped Boston Bruins Sunday night. The other five captains, none) of whom show signs of arthritis attacks, are Bobby Bauer of Bos- ton; Sid Abel of Detroit Red Wings; Red Hamill of Chicago Black Hawks; Syl Apps of Tor- onto and Neil Colville of New York Rangers, None who have watched the lanky Apps seemingly leap down the ice in two strides would com- pare his speed unfavorably with any of the six rookies on the To- ronto lineup. Although out more than three weeks through injury, the 31-yeae-old Paris, Ont, na- tive has helped himself to four goals besides being the rallying post of the league-leaders, The two youngest of the sextet, 28-year-old Sid Abel and 29-year- old Hamill, have compiled the best scoring records so far this season with 11 points each, seven off the leading total of Detroit's Billy Taylor. Although pushing 80, both Ab- el and Hamill are starting only their fifth N.H.L, season as both went into the services after the 1042-43 season, Little Bobby Bauer, who hadn't even intended to turn out this season, so far has picked up four goals and as many assists to form an integral part of the third-place Bruins' attack. The silver-thatched Colville, at 32, returned from the army to move back to the New York defense. Four of these veterans will be showing their wares tonight when Toronto goes to Boston and De- troit visits Chicago in the tio N. H.L. matches scheduled. Bruins' will be seeking to better their third-place position at the ex pense of tha League leaders while the other two are fighting it out for fourth place, with Detroit hol- ding the spot by a single point over Hawks, In the Toronto-Boston clash, there is another potent crjument fr the valus of experience. The two rival goalies so far are lead- ing candidates for the Vesina Trophy, he 32.year-old Walter (Turk) Broda with 28 goals scor- ed on him in 11 Toronto games and Boston's 31-year-old Frankie Brimsek with three more in 12 matches. Sports Roundup By JOHN HAMILTON Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Nov. 20--(CP)--Let's |g face it chums: there doesn't seem to be anybody around capable of tting up a good show against Joe Pouis for the world's heavyweight boxing crown . . . Jersey Joe Walcott and Elmer Ray, a couple of negro belters, met in a virtual elimination contest at Madison Square Garden Friday might . . . The only thing they did was eliminate each other as serious contenders . . . ' The Destructive Years Walcott, who owns up to 33 years but who probably is 37 or more, is an old man fistically . . . Although strong and a good puncher, his ag- ing legs probably wouldn't carry him through a 15-round title fight « + + Ray, who can hit fairly hard with Doth hands, hasn't got enough all-round class to meet the Bomber « » « Some of the local sports writers were suggesting that Joe could lick them both in the same night. , . How About That, Mr, Jacobs? The only solution in sight to prove just who is fitted to meet the champ would seem to be a match between Tami Mauriello of the Bronx and either Walcott or Ray + + + Maurjello was knocked out in short order by Louis but he is the best there is around and his un- doubted punching power would separate the men from the boys. . . Incidentally, Tami showed up at the Garden the other night looking more like a fugitive from a lard plant than ever . .. He has a hard- er job keeping in shape than Lou Novikoff, the baseball player ..., Could Be Prank (N.Y. Journal-American) Graham suggests that the remedy for Ted Williams' woeful world ser- {es showing could have been stand- ing back six inches more from the plate . . . "It would have kept the tchers pouring the ball across his ts and (would have) enabled him not only to get more wood on the ball but also hit it solidly to left field once in awhile," Frank says...

Sport Shorts From Britain By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Nov. 20--(CP)--Perhaps it was understandable when Bri- tain's big-time soccer players de- manded wage increases, but hardly anyone thought the cry would reach into the sport-for-sport's sake game of cricket. It has, This time it's the umpires, and their chief spokesman is Frank Chester, 'senior arbiter in county cricket, Chester, described as "the greatest umpire the world has ever seen," intends to make representa- tion to the Marylebone Cricket Olub for a wage boost. Twenty-five years an umpire, he explained his move this way: "Many people think umpires are well off because we receive 13 guin- eas ($5040) for mid-week and 13 guineas for week-end matches. But when income tax has been deducted, hotel bills and rail fares paid we are worse off than before the war. "On a trip to Manchester I had more than £7 ($28) deducted for tax, paid £5 10s. for very modest hotel accommodation, and during the week had to meet two rail fares for journeys the length of the country, "Add the many extras, unavoid- able inl constant travel and hotel life, and you can see there isn't much left to run a home and last out the winter when there's no cricket." Chester, who lost an arm in the First Great War, has officiated in nearly 50 test matches, a record une equalled in the history of the game and, strangely enough, is one of the ew great mames in the sport who, financially speaking, has made nothing oS bd it, . e M.C.C. probably will give Chester a lenient hearing, and pri Sports iter Suggests the ruling m| consider some special testimonial for him, i London is % A Y op-iass wo- men's professional tennis for the first time, with January matches ar- ranged between Alice Marble of the United States, former -Wimbleton champion, and Britain's Mrs, Charles Hare (Mary Hardwick).
