The West coast reports -an increasingly friendly feeling between Pitsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Seals, Wildcats Replace Tigers In Big Four Toronto, April 1 (CP).--A football era ended for one team yesterday and a new one began for another as Hamilton Wildcats were accepted into the 'Interprovincial Rugby Football Union to replace Hamilton Tigers. The Big Four Club announced their withdrawal after a financial h | dispute with the other three league teams. The yellow-and-black - of the Tigers will be missed from the Big Four for the first time since its formation in 1907. The Tabbies won the Dominion title seven times al- together. Now the younger Wildcats, pow- erful Ontario Rugby Football Union club, have entered as a full-fledged members, President E. K. (Eddie) Emerson of 'the Big Four announced yesterday after a closed session of the executive. Wildcats, who were knocked out of the O.RF.U. playoffs after fin- ishing on top of the league for two straight years, will get their chance to show their stuff against such crews as dominion-champion To- ronto Argonauts, Montreal Alouettes and Ottawa Rough Riders.

'Suds' Sutherland A Sensation In ' Hockey, Soccer Winnipeg, March 81--(CP)--Bill Sutherland--he's 13 years old now --may be a Ranger some day. And if he doesn't become a member of the, New York Nationa] Hockey League. club--provided five other big league clubs do not win him over when he reaches his 16th birthday--there's every chance he may become a Glasgow Ranger in the Scottish Football League. Bill--his nickname is "Suds"--is a scoring sensation in playground hockey with Luxton--St, Cross' north division leader. He also has been rated as the best kid soccer star hereabouts since Midge Pennington was the same age. Bill, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Neil Sutherland, has scored nine goals in one hockey 'game; seven in another and five in yet another--not to mention clusters of twos and threes. He's been hitting the net: regu- larly too, with West Kildonan's bantam 'B" Black Hawks. His performance at outside right for Luxton Royal bantam and ban- tamette soccer teams last season wowed the old-timers, who vowed they'd never seen anything like him. He ran opposing defences cra~- zy. His soccer coach, Gordon Quinn, puts it bluntly: "He's the best ban- tam footballer around here.") Bill's father is FiDe major of the Winnipeg City Police pipe band. The boy has had some experience with the pipes--but give him a soccer ball or a pair of skates and a hockey stick, for it's in soccer and hockey he shines. The youngster is one of the most popular sprouts on the. Black Hawk bantam hockey roster. But he just about broke the hearts of the Kil- donan kids in the bantamette soc- cer final last June. With Kildonan leading 2-0---and only five minutes left to play-- Suds eluded 'a relentless defence to whip home a sparkling shot and then tie the score with 10 seconds left, on a penalty kick. But his side. lost, 3-2 in extra time. Olympic Champs Defending Their National Title Pittsburgh, April 1--(AP) -- J. Mellor Phillips, who'd "rather fish than eat," reported progress today in his campaign to improve the lot of blind fishermen, Sightless for 19 years, Phillips makes little of a blind sportsman's problems in getting out to a lake, putting bait on the hook, and throw. ing out the line to tempt the fish. For Phillips has aroused enough interest among sighted sporsimen to make three or four of them avail. able for every blind sportsman in this area. The idea is fo have one sighted fisherman assist every blind one. The former goes along as a compan. ion blending a hand with bait or anything else needed. ' With sportsmen's clubs anxious to co-operate, Phillips now was con. centrating on locating blind persons interested in the sport.
