By GEORGE TATHAM Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, April 16--(CP)--Waest- ern Ontario's top baseball circuit, the Intercounty Baseball Associa- tion, isn't going to take the pro- [J posed provincial 20 per cent amuse- ment tax on sports, without an argument. : This loop, which produces its share of Ontario champions each year, intends to protest the meas- '| ure but, says Jack (London Free Press) Park, "It is unlikely any- thing can be done about it. Public Will Pay It "One thing is sure on the prob- lem--the clubs will not absorb the levy," said Jack. "They will be forced to pass it on to John Public. Hat it been a modest five per cent, they could probably have taken the rap. The effect of this may not be too great in larger centres, but in modest-sized cities and towns, the clubs are almost sure to feel the pinch." Laurie (Galt Reporter) Brain says organizations which "just managed to keep their heads above water in the face of increasing operation costs, might as well pull in their oars." Twisting Tiger Tails Ivan (Hamilton Spectator) Mil- ler, who has watched the Hamilton Tigers of the Ontario Hockey As- sociation figure.in Aflan Cup semi- finals for three years running, can't blame the Bengals for get- ting irked at recent decisions of the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation. "When the Tigers wanted their playoff séries with Renfrew Lions stretched to a best-of-five affair, the C.AM.A. said there wasn't time," said Ivan. "So the Bengals sat about for 10 days until the teams in Quebec ground the last dollar out. of willing fans in stretching their playoffs as much as traffic would bear. "They could have been playing a full seven-game series with the Lions 'and still have been in time for the Western finals. "Now hockey authorities have announced there will be no more games in Hamilton. The Bengals don't mind - playing away from home . . . on Toronto ice . . . But they do object to their supporters being given "the shorts' ". 10 Teams to Play In Belleville Loop Belleville, April 15 (Special).--Ten teams will face the barrier when the Bellinlle Commercial Softball League opens its second season at Alemite field Tuesday, May 25, it was announced by League president Jimmy Br Doubleheaders will be played each Tuesday and Thursday with the second game to be played under the lights. Britain's No. 1 Sprint Star Strains Leg By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, April 16--(CP)--E. Mc- '| Donald Bailey, 26-year-old Trini. dad-born sprinter and Britain's No. 1 hope for an Olympic title, may watch the 1948 summer games from the sidelines because of a leg in- ury. " The tall, "midnight monsoon" from Port of Spain, labelled Eu. rope's fastest human by British sports writers, has been advised to undergo an operation to check hardening of a thigh muscle strain- ed last summer. The operation would end his ac- tivities for the season and frus. trate Balley's dream of an Olympic championship. Twelve years ago, after Jesse Owens' churning legs brought the United States three ti- tles at the Berlin games, the Trini- dad schoolboy vowed to become the second "tan terror of the track." One year later, Bailey was Trini- dad's outstanding athlete and in June, 1946, after his discharge from the RAF, he ran 100 metres in 10.3, one-tenth of a second slower than Owens' world record. Bailey'se speed "out of the holes" won favor. able comparison with Owens. Holder of the British record for the 100-yards dash in 9.6, established in London's White City last Aug- ust, Bailey once did the century in 98--twice in one afternoon. Bailey decided to run for Brit. ain in the Olympics because Trini- dd is not entering a team. He'll seek further medical advice in the hope of 'avoiding an' operation but he admits that the outlook is not en- couraging. i Select Brewers Win AA Flag Columbus, Ohio '-- The baseball writers who cover the American As- sociation games came out of huddle today to predict that Milwaukee Brewers will lead the loop this year. In their annual poll they gave Nick Cullop's team, the defending Junior world series champions, 177 points in a selection for first place. Kansas City, which captured the 1947 Association pennant, was pick- ed for second place with 168 points. Louisville was rated third with 161 Frank Lane, Association president, said the writers had been pretty ac- curate in their predictions in the past. But he commented: "They've certainly undersold the Toledo club this time and lots of folk are in for lots of surprises. .." The writer picked Toledo Mud- hens for the cellar, PLAYOFFS OPEN TUESDAY Lethbridge, Alta.--The Western Canada senior men's basketball playoffs open next Tuesday at Ma- grath, Alta, when Magrath Lions and Vancouyer Clover Leafs tangle.

The teams have met twice in their Florida training® camps, the Braves winning 4-1 at Bradenton and the Sox 3-1 at Sarasota.

By CY KRITZER Buffalo Evening News 'Waxahachie, Tex, April 16--(AP) --~Laden with power, a superb de- fence and fine catching, Buffalo Bi~ sons of 1948, for the first time since 1941, must be reckoned a pennant contender. The Bisons have everything ex- cept speed and established pitching, but Manager Paul Richards has a capable staff. in the making. One or two pitchers from the parent De- troit Tigers can make his hurling corps an outstanding one. Best Outfield With Anse Moore and Coaker Triplett in left field, Johnny Groth in centre and Chet Laabs in right, the herd opens the campaign with the best outfield in the Internation- al League. There is a Lome run punch in evrey position. Richards has a crack double play combination in Manuel Hidalgo, the Chinese-Cuban shortstop, and hold- over Johnny Bero. At third base, Cy Block, up from the Southern Association with a 360 average, looms as a great help. Norm Jaeger, a refugee from New York Giants' farm system, has won the first base job. : Mordarski Improved ' Probably the most improved Bison over 107 is catcher Eddie Mordar- ski, who led the I. L. catchers in hitting last year with .297. Battling for second string backstop honors is Marty Tabacheck, back from the Eastern League after hitting .201. Richards, himself, plans to catch some games, Tex Shirley, who underwent an arm operation last winter, may hold the key to the herd's pitching. If his comeback is true, he may be the bellcow Richards has been seeking. Hard luck Clem Hausmann (8-12) looms as the opening day pitcher. Rated behind Shirley and Haus- man are Hank Perry (13-10), and Andy Bush, who pitched well in the playoff drive after his recall from Williamsport, Richards has high hopes for Sol Rogovin, Aaron Sil- verman, Ted Wybernac, Lew Fauth, Pet Appleton and Bill Connelly. The latter is from the Philadelphia Athetics. Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. Virginia Beach, Va. April 16- (AP)--Here's a sports parley for you--the Norfolk Sports Club and the first "specialists" golf tournae ment , . . The reason for combine ing the two is that the sports club, which 'claims to have a unique sets up, is one of the sponsors of this unique golf tournament, which takes place this week-end , . ., Thé club is distinguished from ordinary "quarterback" groups and is a year~ round organization that takes in [followers of all sports . . , The golf tournament, the likes of 'which hasn't been seen before, is a select competition which is open to only about 16 of the best pros in the business . . . O , they were selected because of their special skills at special types of shots, but it will work out with Captains Gene Sarazen and Walter Hogan picking the players to beat the other guy's team--and to heck with the voting . . . Incidentally, the athletes: will get $500 apiece guarantee. So it doesn't matter financially who wing what event. That's just fine. Whitey Abel, who has won, with more than one unsound horse, maintains that Stanley Sagner's derby hope, Saggy, is something like Assault, Because of his weak under-pinning, Saggy toes out a trifle with one foot--he can win on soft, well-cushioned tracks but can't do anything on those fast, "card- board" racing strips like Belmont or Chicago. \ A certain vice-president of Pitts- burgh Pirates named Crosby will be master of ceremonies at the game events . . . Charley Greek George, who was banished from the major leagues for a year for belt ing an umpire, is manager of the Reihmond Celts in the Piedmont League . . .
