| THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1948 Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. BY ED ROMAINE Canadian Press Staff Writer Vancouver, Aug 26--(CP)--Lans- downe Park, purchased by a million- dollar Corporation to be converted into Western Canada's "Santa Ani- ta without the $100,000 races," seems to be an "also ran" in Vancouver. 'It was a rarity when $100,000 went through the mutuels wickets in a single day during the 28-day meet this year. A number of share- holders in the corporation are slight ly miffed over returns achieved at neighboring Exhibition Park in comparison with those chalked up their own prized mile strip, 10 miles from downtown Vancouver. Ken (Vancouver Province) Mc- Connell says the eorporation paid good currency for a white elephant. "Sam Randall, the former owner, who had over the years butted his head against the crying walls at Lansdowne and never succeeded in ringing the cash register with much success, maintained a mystifying silence as the boys crammed to buy him out." "That was three years ago. The corporaton had a profit of about $500 the first year; the next year they lost in excess of $10,000 and this year the loss was even greater," he says. Satchmo The Nonpareil The success Satchel Paige is hav- ing with Cleveland Indians has Alf (Vancouver Sun) Cottrell. reminisc« ing. . He writes: "I was thinking of an article I saw the other day when looking through our 1940 files. Satch was here with the Kansas City Monarchs playing an exhibition game. The blurb in the 1940 paper said that Connie Mack and other notable baseball men agreed Paige must have been a real nice pitcher in his younger days, one who would have made the big league if he had been allowed to come up when rea- sonably young. "Now," says Cottrell, "Eight years older than he was then, Paige is thréatening to pitch Cleveland into the pennant." By GEORGE BRIMMELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Winnipeg, Aug. 26--(CP)--Winni- peg Blue Bombers, Grey Cup final- ists against Toronto Argos last year, have their backs flat against the well-known wall. the reason being the thumping the Regina Roughrid- ers gaye them, : The Bombers--top dogs in the 'Western Conference from 'way back --were, in the words - of Maurice (Free Press) Smith, "served with an eviction notice." Ruffles, ably coached by Fred Grant, gave Bombers a 17-6 licking Saturday and Winnipeggers, proud of their home-brews, don't like it a bit. Voicing the opinion of the arm- chair quarterbacks, Smith hits out at Coach Jack West. "West could take a page from Grant's book and substitute more liberally," he says. "By using all his players and giv- ing them a chance to show him waat they could do under the gun, Grant not only had a keyed-up team--every man was anxious to get back into the game each time he was spelled off--but he had a fresh team at all times. This stra- tegy paid off in touchdowns and victory. "It would seem to us Bob Sand. berg, the most dangerous running back in Western Football last year, should return to his old position. Bob hardly carried the ball in the iwo games the Bombers have played to date." The Tribune's Johnny Buss also tossed a couple of brickbats at West. "It was a tired Bomber squad that sat in the dressing room after the game. Some simply were too tired to take off their jerseys." As for Sandberg: "He should be toting the ball a little more. Let Hi- ney cal] the signals. Why he (Sand- berg) didn't do more of the ball- carrying surprised even the equip- ment boy." Sta INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE W. L.

For 21 years, the Welsh team fig- ured among the lowly sides, never finishing higher than sixth. Glamorgan won through team spirit, without any "blazing" stars. London Majors Dump Kitchener In 'A' Play-off By The Canadian Press A 4-3 victory over Kitchener Legionairres in J ondon Wednesday sent London Majors into thé Inter- county Baseball Association Senior A playoffs against Waterloo Tigers. London won the best-of-seven semi-finals four games to two. Four other senior games were also played in the province. Second Intercounty game of the day was played at Galt. Galt Ter- riers defeated Guelph Maple Leafs 10-9 to give them a 2-1 lead in their Senior B playoffs. The fourth game will be played in Guelph Saturday. At Welland, the home town Btokes scored their second consecu- tive win over Kimberly-Clarks of Niagara Falls, N Z., by taking the second Niagara District Baseball League semi-final game 4-3. Wel- land won the opener 14-2 Tuesday. In the same league, North Tona- wanda Dodgers scored first blood in their semi-final series with Niagara Falls, Ont, Houcks by beating the host team 2-0. Copper Cliff Redmen clinched second plac i the Nickel Belt Baseball T2ague standings when they downed first-place Frood Tigers 9-6 at Sudbury. Frood and the third-place Sucbury Shamrocks play the opening game of their best-of-five semi-final series Fri- day. Copper Cliff will meet Coniston Buzzers in the other semi-final series starting Friday. The final series will be a best-of-seven affair. Joe Be:chard's slashing single to right field in closing moments of the ninth inning won Majors their game against Kitchener. Tommy White limited Legionairres -- who finished first at fhe end of the regular seasor --to six hits. He wr nicked for two runs in the opening frame. More than 8,000 fans -- largest crowd to see a baseball game in London -- watched the contest. Galt Terriers staged a seventh- inning rally to net five runs. Johnny Luckman and Bud Rund- stadler had home runs for Guelph Leafs. Guelph used three twirlers, Galt two. Pitcher 'Blli Buntrock won Wel- land's game with both his hurling and hitting. He hit the game- clinching homer in the eighth in- ning and collected four of his team's 10 hits. Buntrock 'also out- pitched Kimberly's Stan Rogala. Art Behrns worked hard on the pitcher's mound for the winning Dodgers, In the eighth inning he prevented any tallies wheh two Houcks hits put three men on base. Niemic and Fricosky, each with two hits, paced Tonawanda at bat. Copper Cliff drove starter Johnny Zimany from the Tigers' hill in the. fifth when they staged a three-run rally to break a 4-4 deadlock. Lefty Glenn Seeley, relieving Zimany, was touched for two more runs in the sixth before darkness halted the game. Frank Ovis of 'the win- ners held the losers to five hits. Jimmy Kuzniar socked two Copper CUM hits. . Only one of its players, Alun Wat- kins, was chosen for the English test teams against Australia, He played in one game. Wilf Wooler, who plays rugby for) Wales, gave sound leadership in his second season as captain and J. C. Clay, at 50 years of age, returned to the team to bowl brilliantly and give the younger men the benefit of his experience. Glamorgan's championship record, with one game stil] to play whiah cannot affect the result, is 13 won, four lost and six drawn. No decision was reached in two. Five teams -- Middlesex, Derby- ghire, Srrey, Yorkshire and Lanca- shire--still are fighting for second place.

Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT (For Hugh Fullerton, Jr.) New York, Aug. 26--(AP)--Da- vis Cup tennis, once one of the great events of world sports, has degenerated this year to the point while. . Because of the lure of profession- al money, the talent available for the international team match has become little better than second rate--that is, compared to the court giants who battled for the huge sil- ver mug in the past. Not one of the four players who will defend for the United States against the Australians in. the challenge round Sept. 4-6 is in the same class with Jack Kramer, who helped overwhelm the Aussies twice before turning pro last win- ter. Ted Schroeder was an exception- ally fine player at his peak, but he is devoting himself to business these days and is rusty, Frankie Parker, who doubtless will share the sin- gles duties with Schroeder, isn't what he used to be, as he proved fn losing to such an average player as Lennart Bergelin of Sweden in this summer's Wimbledon champjon- ships. Australians Na Better The Australians are no better off. Theirs is a makeshift team, too. The American four-man team, which includes Billy Talbert and Gardner Mulloy as a possible dou- bles combination, probably is the best the selectors could have chos- en. For all his victory at Wimble- don, Bob Falkenburg is too erratic and uncertain to be counted upon in Davis Cup play, where there is an added strain of competing for one's country. ' Because of internal bickering, th Aussies almost certainly will not bring their strongest team to For- est Hills. John Bromwich, snubbed by his country's selectors, is on his way home by boat from England. Virtually without exception, players will tell you he still is the greatest man at doubles in the world.

MORRISON During the U.S. Open at Santa Monica, Cal, I asked Lloyd Man- grum if he was going to remain in California after the tournament. He replied, "About an hour, just long enough to board a train for Chi- cago." He explained that only by catching his train could he arrive in time to compete in the Chicago Victory event. He sought the $2,000 first prize because it would put him ahead of Ben Hogan as the top monev winner for 1948, Later I talked to the long-driv- ing Jimmy Thomson. Along with Lawson Little, he was off to catch a plane from Los Angeles to New York, then another plane from New York to London. Both sought cash and titles in' England, the British Open being their main target. This put me to thinking about the number of miles travelled by the tournament pros and the effect of travel on their performances. Los Angeles to London, Seattle to Miami, New York to San Antonio, hops of thosands of miles to be made by plane, train and often by auto. And the schedule of events some- times calls for doubling right back to the same territory just left. At first the sight-seeing com- pensates for the rigors of early rising and uncomfortable accom- modations, but passing the novelty of jumping it becomes just plain work, Even the mest comfortable accommodations do not prevent fatigue. Changes in atmosphere, water and food, tend to upset the player, though he may not rez2'ize | it at the time, And just like the stay-at-home or regular week-end golfer, the touring pro finds i; hard to accept the score card results es the final word about what is hap- pening to him. Lawson Little is one of many golf pros who put everything into every shot and tournament.
