MARCH Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. 1 By GEORGE FORSTER Regina, March 10 --(CP)-- The hottest argument to hit western hockey this season -- surrounding the five.day suspension of Bill Ramsden of Lethbridge Native Sons for hitting referee Russ McBride after he had been penalized--hasn't quite cooled off. The high-scoring junior had an indefinite suspension slapped on him by president Al Pickard of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa tion the day after the fracas which resulted when Ramsden struck Mc- Bride during an exhibition game at Moose Jaw between Sons and Moose Jaw Canucks, Pickard interviewed a repentant Ramsden five days after the suspen. sion, reinstated him and sald that Coach Scotty Munto of Lethbridge was partially responsible for the incident, Pickard sternly warned that Munro "would do well to re- member that C4.H.A. expects a certain restraint from its coaches" and that Ramsden was 'very de. finitely on probation." A few days later referee McBride hung up his skates and whistle for "business reasons" and almost to a man Western Sportswriters dashed to their typewriters and chorused that. Ramsden was the luckiest kid on skates. Murray (Moose Jaw Times- Herald) Brown suggested there was more than business involved in Mc. Bride's resignation, "Friends of the referee," Murray reported, "say McBride was burned up over the leniency shown Rams. den" Brown--who witnessed the game and described it as "sickening'-- "Considering the seriousness of the offence, there is no denying the fact that Ramsden got a break ... the feeling in this town is that the C.A. H.A, boss was pretty lenient." Sports Roundup March 10-- St. Petersburg, Fla., (AP)--Your ordinary baseball man- ager envies the rival who has some good ball players on the field, but | Eddie Dyer of St, Louis Cardinals is envying the ones with a "strong | bench." That may be a tip-off that ! the Cards will have a better-than- | far first string this season. . .. Ed- | die reasons that Brooklyn was a | better club than St. Louis last year because of that veteran reserve strength on the bench. . , . "Fellows like Lavagetto and Vaughan can't play every day," he sald, "but last year Lavagetto made two hits against us that "won two close games and Vaughan did the same thing once." Following that theory, Dyer may keep Don Lang, an older player who had a good year at Columbus in| 1947, as his utility infielder instead | of the younger Tom Glaviano or | Bernie Creger. . .. "You don't want fine prospects on the bench. You want them to play," he explains, New York baseball scribes are | «chuckling over a pepper game they | saw in the Yankee camp the other | day when two lithe little guys, Phil | Rizzuto and Lonnie Frey, were eag- erly bending over fielding the ball | while the one who really needs to take off some weight, Spec Shea, was calmly standing up bunting to | them. . . .. 8am Breadon, who sold | the club, can't keep away from the | Cards workouts. . . . Neither can the | new boss, Bob Hannegan , who | shows clubhouse visitors his scars and missing ribs from an operation he underwent because of high blood pressure, . . . "It was pretty tough," says Bob. , . . Eddie Dyer was out under the hot sun yesterday for the first time since he was beaned by a line drive last week and says he felt no ill effects. . . .

That result at Chicago last night in the only N.H.L. game of the evening had several important repercussions. It leaves the Wing and Toronto Maple Leafs dead- locked for the league leadership and each team even in games, with only five left before the schedule en 8. It also boosted Norman (Bud) Poile of the Hawks, former Leaf, within one point of New York's Buddy O'Connor in the scoring race. Gaye Stewart and Doug Bent- ley of Chicago jumped into a tie for third place in the scoring race, one point back of Poile, And it leaves Chicago and the sixth-place Montreal Canadiens still with a mathematical possibil- ity of making the four-team Stan- ley Cup Jlazetts, but with five games left Chicago now is six ints behind the fourth-place oston Bruins, and Canadiens are seven points back. The once-despised Hawks who have been a new team since Charlie Conacher replaced Johnny Gottse- lig as coach at the start of the year, were ahead all the way in recording their first victory of the season over the Wings. Young goalie Emile Francis in fact had a shut-out until Detroit Captain Syd Abel on an assist from Gord Howe got Detroit's only goal with just Dver a minute to go to the final ell, Roy Conacher scored Chicago's first goal on Bentley's assist in the first period. Bentley scored off Bill Mosienko in the second, and in the final frame Stewart and Bodnar assisted Bud Poile's score before Mosienko got their fourth, with another assist to Bentley.

Sierra has just been dumped by featherweight champion Willie Pep of Hartford, Connecticut (at left) in the second round of their championship Fattle.

Medicai and dental facilities will be available, along with stores, post office, movie houses, laundries, barber shops, bathhouses and dining halls. Athletes will sleep eight to each large bedroom. Officials recently took a party of newspaper men through the Rich- mond site where a small army of workmen is engaged in the £35,000 ($140,000) job of reconverting an army convalescent centre. In mid-February, with keen wind biowing across an empty barrack. square (to be used as a car.park when the "village" comes to life) some of the foreign correspondents seemed to think the outlook for their countries' representatives was pretty bleak. Empty huts looked cheerless and one sample dormitory was distinctly on the austere side. The Manchester Guardian com- mented: "The Games Housing Com. t mittee is sadly aware that it cannot provide facilities such as our ath. letes enjoyed at previous Games abroad, At the same time, it is anx. jous that competitors should know that everything possible is being done for their comfort."
