Ontario Open Has No Fued To Add Zest Toronto, July 8--(CP)--Some of the starch was removed from the forthcoming Ontario open golf championship yesterday with an an- nouncement from the Ontario Golf Association offices that defending champion Nick Wisnock of Detroit, Ontario amateur kingpin Rudy Hor- vath of Windsor and Giant-killing Prank Zak of the city will probably be non-starters in the big event at the Toronto St. George's Club this Friday. Although Ontario golf officials are still trying to talk Wilksnook into defending the crown he won last year, all three have announced they will compete in the Michigan state invitation tournament, scheduled for the same day. Rated among the top half dozen in Ontario amateur golf, they would '| have injected much welcome color into the 36 holes of medal play for the championship, if only on the sole basis of a hot little feud. Wot No Feud! The Wisnock-Horvath divot feud has a firm grounding of several years but since the Ontario ama- teur 10 days ago the fight has de- .| veloped: into a three-corner affair, Zak made it a triangle by trounc- ing the favored Wisnock in the quarter-finals of that tournament and golf fans had been waiting ex- pectantly for them to try to outdo each other in the matter of making an oaf out of par in the Ontario Open. Insofar as Nick and Rudy are concerned, it has been a point of pride with each to beat the other since they first started pounding golf balls around Windsor fairways several years ago. ; However, most of the province's outstanding pros will be on hand and will be carefully watched for a possible dark horse threat for the $10,000 Canadian Open at the To- ronto Scarboro Club, July 16-19. Jack Littler Pace Setter With a two-under-par 70, Jack Littler of the Oakdale club paced a contingent of Toronto play-for- dough performers who went out to St. George's yesterday to get in some advance licks. Northerners Want i Senior Golf Event ian is George 56. Miler, prominent er, pro t udbudy lawyer. P A Wrpament for seniors, golfers over years age, has been an adjunct of the -annual Northern '| Ontario Golfers Association Tour- nament for - years, Because of the size of golf courses in north ern Ontario, and the ever-increasing size of the entry lists, however, these tournaments have become unsatisfactory to the older players. Discussions last year led to a deci- sion to form a separate association. A tournament has been planned for this summer, to take piace the latter part of July at Timmins. It will consist of two-18-hole rounds, with first place going' to the best medal score posted. A trophy is being put up for competition among older golfers by the Timmins club. Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. New Jax July 8 (AP).--Joe Louis, who usually manages to sa; the right thing, seems to have - ded in his knowledge of mathe. matics or human nature when he figures the public wouldn't pay 15 cents to see him fight Sweden's Olle Tandberg . . . Joe isn't old enough to remember when they imported France's "Orchid Man," Georges Carpentier, to fight Jack Dempsey » +» » Gorgeous Georges was better known by reputation than Tand- berg is, but as an opponent for Dempsey he was so weak that they made him do his in secret « . « nevertheless, that 1921 fight at Jersey City drew boxing's first $1,000,000 gate. The public paid $1,789,238 and promoter Tex Rickard almost threw a fit for fear the bout would end so quickly the customers would start a ®ot . . . Tandberg, according to available records here, has fought most of Europe's good heavyweights in the past seven years with a record of 16 victories (eight by knockouts) four losses and a draw.

Snead, standing at the left, missed a 30-inch putt and in Alisg 1st picked up his ball and threw it away. Then Worsham sunk a 29-inch putt and captured the title. Oshawa Fighter, Dale Northcote, Is Winner On Decision Toronto, July 8--(CP)--Earl Wall, 19-year-old Essex, Ont., negro flash- ed a powerful two-handed offensive last night to floor Butch McCallum of the Toronto Diamond Club three time in the first round of an obvi- ously overmatched heavyweight scrap in the Diamond Club's out- door show.

A. Sidney Dawes, president of the Ca- nadian Olympic Association, said today in a report presented to a meeting of the Association. Mr. Dawes was on his recent visit to Stockholm for a meeting of the International Olym- ple Committee executives. He quoted J. 8. Edstrom of Stock- holm, president of the International Committee as saying, "if present professional difficulties with ski in- structors, ice hockey players and figure skaters continued, it will he necessary' to drop winter games from future Olympic events." The Stockholm meeting approved the following Olympic definition of. an amateur: Defines Amateur "An amateur is one whose con- nection with sport is and always has been solely for pleasure and for the physical, mental and social benefits he derives therefrom and to whom sport is nothing more than recreation without material gain of any kind." This, Mr. Dawes noted. differed from the amateur definition of Ca- nada's governing hockey body, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion which followed his definition: "An amateur hockey player is one who either has not engaged or 1/18 not engaged in organized profes- sional hockey. Professionals may regain their amateur standing on request to the C.AHA. of their National Ice Hockey Associations after being fessional hockey for three playing seasons." out of organized pro-|ing Bobby Locke Has Rusty Old Putter For Favorite Club By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN ' Chicago, July 8--(AP)--The fav- orite club in Bobby Locke's bag is a rusty putter that looks like some- thing captured from a tribe in the unexplored regions of his native South Africa. Old Faithful The rustic relic pulled Locke through five straight sub-par rounds in the all-American essional golf tournament to a T2-hole tie Sunday and yesterday enabled him to finish three strokes up on Ed (Porky) Oliver of Wilmington, Del. at the end of the first 18 holes of their 36-hole match at Tam O'Shanter Country Club. ; The winner, following their 18- hole final playoff round today will draw down the $7,000 first money. Second place gets some $3,500 less. The /29-year-old golfing' sensation from Johannesburgh, who spent four years as an R.AF. bomber pil~ ot, used this same blade to carve his way to the title of "boy wonder" when he was knocking off oppon- ents at home in his teens. Kirkwood Is Old Rival One of his golfing adversaries was trick shot artist Joe Kirkwood, Sr., 'who ventured down Johannesburg way 12 years ago for an exhibition match with Locke. Kirkwood emerged the victor over Locke but réturned to the United States with high praise for the young lad, who, he sald, had the shots to become one of the best link artists in the world. Most recent visitor to South Afri< ca was Sam Snead, Hot Springs, Va., professional, who took a thorough trouncing in a series of exhibition matches with Locke. Snead, before he returned home, told Locke about the money a professional golfer could earn on tour in the United States. Locke soon followed 'Snead. In nine tournaments here prior to the Tam O'Shanter show. Locke won $9,730 prize money, including four first-place awards.

Here at last is the news.a lot of the younger members of the club have waiting for, Our weekly com- petitions are scheduled to get un- derway' immediately with several track events scheduled for tomor- row (Wednesday) evening. There has not been a very encouraging turn-out of our Junior and Juven- ile athletes so far this Summer, but now that they have something to compete for and weekly competi- tions 'we expect to see some good turnouts in the future. This Sum- mer the younger age groups will have the opportunity of earning for themselves an attractive club pin, or a crest if they do not already Dbossess one, or both, but they can only be obtained by turning out re- gularly and competing in the various events. So lets see all of you young- er lads up at the park tomorrow night ready and rarin to go. The age limits will be the same ag last Summer, ynder 12, under 14, under International League Action Sheldon Jones, 25-year-old right- hander of Jersey City Giants, is pitching some excellent ball in his bid to regain another shot at a berth ong the mound staff of the parent New York Giants. The lanky . 180-pound pitcher chalked up his eighth win as against three setbacks in downing Syracuse Chiefs 2-1 in the Inter- national League's only game last night. Jones, who won 19 games and lost nine while appearing in 250 innings for Jacksonville in the South At- lantic League in 1946 limited the Chiefs to six hits. One of the blows was a homer by Dutch Mele in the last frame which deprived him of gaining his first shutout of the season. The victory was Jones' third straight and also his third of the year over Syracuse. Two of his set- backs were administered by the Chiefs, both shutouts. ! 16 and under 18 as of June first. Big Meet Next Monday Next Monday evening, July 14th., the Beaches Olympic Club of Toronto will be down to engage in a dual Track and Field meet with the Shamrock A. C. The first of several meets of this kind was held in Toronto akout a month ago. The local club took most of the first places with Beaches grabbing off the majority of seconds and thirds, As a result of a misunderstanding in events to be held and point scor- ing system the meet was called a draw, but on Monday night the events will all be run in the form of relays, both track and field events, so each event will be either a win or a loss for both clubs. This coming Saturday afternoon will see the running of the Ontario Ladies Track and Field Champion- ships at Varsity stadium in Toronto, and as added events there will be invitation 100 yards and 880 yard events for men. Being one of the clubs invited to send an entry for each event the local club will be represented by "Wimp" Crawford in the. century and "Bud" Wilson in the half-mile, and both boys can be expected to more than hold their own even the best in the Province. Championships Here Aug. 28 And of interest to the sports fans 8f Oshawa in general, the Sham- rock A. C. will sponsor the All On- tario Men's Track and Field Cham- pionships at Alexandra Park on Saturday, August 23rd, just six weeks from this coming Saturday: This should be one of the biggest sporting attractions in Oshawa this Summer and everyone is urged to keep 'this date open. But more in- formation on that later. As a parting shot we would like to once more remind all members to try and be at the park early Wednesday evening. Bob Somers, Secretary of the Ontario Branch, AAU, of Canada is visiting a lot of various clubs around the Province and is expected to drop in on ys to- morrow evening. So let's have a big turnout. ' 14th All-Star Major League Game Today By JEREY LISKA Chicago, Juiy 8--(AP) --- Base- ball's gaudiest single day show, the 14th all-star major league game, re- turns to Chicago today with the American Leagues upper crust fave ored to squelch the National League's best before a Wrigley Field capacity crowd of 43,000. Fair skies and 80-degree tempera- tures were predicted for this mid- summer "dream game" which, ex- cept for the pitchers, is strictly a fan proposition. for the first time since 1935. Almost 2,000,000 paying customers participated in a country- wide poll to select the teams. There were last-minute complica- tions to this high-geared spectacle in which, at approximately 2.30 p. m. 'ED.T. Lanky Ewell Blackwell, pride of Cincinnati Reds, will ex- plode the first pitch at American League lead-off man, George Kell, Detroit third baseman. Spud May Not Start For one thing, the American League starting hurler, Spud Chand- ler of New York Yankees, establish ed himself in a "reluctant dragon" role. He turned up in Chicago with an ailing elbow, There were reports that he might not be able to work. Pilot Joe Cronin of the American Leaguers said he'd determine in pre- game warm-ups whether Chandler could pitch the first three innings. On the Natlonal League side, a train mishap Here yesterday shook up the Philadelphia Phillies' con- tingent including starting second baseman Emil Verban, pitcher Schoolboy Rowe and manager Ben Chapman, an All-Star coaching aide to manager Eddie Dyer of St. Louis Cardinals. At last report Verban was in bruised condition but anxious ' to tioin. the All-Star battle, Rowe was that he might not be able'to appear. Chapman, who suffered a spinal in- jury, said he would not be able to hit to the' outfield but he. would take his station on the coaching lines. : 7 40 5 Odds tablished the American L.eaguers as 7 to 5 favorites to gain' their 10th victory in the All-Star frolic: which had its inception at Comiskey Park here in 1933. Last year the powers packed Americans drubbed the Nae tionals 12-0, at Boston's Fenway Park. Bobby Feller of Cleveland, Hal Newhouser of Detroit and Jack Kramer of St. Louis, shut out the senior circuit with three hits. All were named to the original 1047 squad. " Feller Still Out Feller's absence, due to a pulled back muscle, was the. most impor- tant factor in cutting the .Amerks' advantage, Otherwise. on the basis of Feller's sensational All-Star re- cord and the American League 0-4 win record, it would have been ruled "no contest.' . It is expected that Cronin' will follow Chandler with Lefty New- houser and then make his final three-inning selection on the basis of the score of the game. If its tight he might use Joe Page of New York, another capable southpaw who has been a ball of fire in recent relief chores. Shea Possible Starter Frank Shea, the Yankees amazing rookie with an 11-2 won and lost record, is another possibility. Dyer, like Cronin, made no an- nouncement of his second or third hurlers but each manager has "to use three. Harry Brecheen, 8t. Louis Cards' World Series hero, and Boston's Johnny Sain are the most logical choices to follow Blackwell's sidearm slants, A Times-Gazette classified ad. will get quick and sure results.
