FRIDAY. JANUARY 27, 1950 - THE DAILY Ti MES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN Prize New York Yankee rookie Jack Jensen (centre), is shown getting some top-flight instruction from Bill Dickey (left) and Yankee pilot Casey Stengel, at the Yankees' finishing school at Phoenix, Arizona. Jensen, a former All-American football star at the University of Cali- fornia, played with Oakland last year, and was bought by the Yanks in a package deal with another Oakland player, for $100,000. CHECKING "WITH BOB RIFE Vv Out West when you are outdrawn you are usually a dead man, But around these hyar parts it only means that the gate at your sporting event wasn't as big as someone else's. That was the case last night when the Oshawa Mercantile league put together a fine twin-bill before more pipples than saw the Gen- erals game Wednesday evening. Those persons who attended the big show caught one of the unique happenings of Mercantile hockey, double tie. Both games last night ended in deadlocks. Taylor's Sport and Pitts' Eiectric- played to a 4-4 draw and Brones and Brooklin tied at 4-4. It got so confusing that even the big electric timer started to squeal its protest over the happenings and had to be put out o its misery so that the game could continue. (A case of grinding gears they tell us), Vv The first game 'at the Arena last night looked like a walk- away for Taylors at the end of the second period. The Elec- triclans came back strongly, however, and it was Taylors who finally had to come from behind in the last two minutes of play to eke out a tie. The second contest was also in the walkaway stages early in the game. Broncs whipped home four goals without an answer from Brooklin and then the tide turned completely as Brooklin clamped four-in-a- row to knot the duel. Both games were thrilling afier the first period, when the teams really got down to busi- ness. The first game was a case of the clubs feeling the pp t out; d, just a case of no head of steam with which to get under power. Billy Taylor made one break- away early in the first game and came up with an end-to- end rush moments later that missed by inches. He was fly- ing. #Regina" Tisdall flipped home two goals for Broncs in the second game to tie with Lint- ner of Brooklin for scoring honors. Vv On the list of events for tonight can be listed three games. Two are of the basketball variety with the third a very important Junior "B" hockey tilt. The hockey game sees our Bees in Peterborough to play the Triple Links in a game that means first place to the winner. Our club should come up with a win as they have yet to lose to any team but Belleville, Peterborough are however tough to beat on their own ice. That Belleville incident (It's happened twice now) will get what the team hopes will be a thorough airing this coming Monday night here in Oshawa when the Rockets will be the visitors. The cage tussles tonight are in Cobourg when O.C.V.I. Senior and Junior squads tangle with the East- ~ Prized Rookie Gets Top Instruction --Central Press Canadian. ON SPORT ® 0 0 ginally scheduled for Oshawa, but conflicting dates in other parts of the schedule forced the teams to switch home dates, Coach Simons of the Seniors and Carson of the Juniors aré looking for wins to wipe away those Peter- borough setbacks. The Buffalo Bills grid situa- tion is not one to cause wild yelps of joy. Their offer to join the pro ranks again was turned down and yet from the looks of the fans support through sub- scriber tickets and just plain dough to back the club, the Bills were likely in a better position than the Detroit Lions. Lions report that over the past two years they have dropped $206,000. The Bills haven't dropped that much, in fact they stood to come out on the good side of things if their contract into the new combined pro league was ac- cepted. We feel, along with almost everyone in the Buffalo area and up along the Niagara Pen- insula, that the Bills were handed the wrong end of the stick. We feel that the club owners who voted down the Bills entry were a group of short-sighted guys. Here was a team that would have been really public sup- ported and unlike the Lions who are still in the loop, this club would not have to worry about folding in a year's time. vr CHECKLETS Czech hockey players took the oath the other day. They aren't trying .to protect themselves from the evils of liquor, but are going to "defend with suc- cess the honor and glory of the Czech People's democracy." These are the boys who'll try to win the world hockey title again in London on March 13-22. Since those Czech athletes de- serted the country's ranks a few months back, the team members who go beyond the "Iron Curtain" have to attend a political school. Just to clean up their ideas, we imagine. Naturally. Gorgeous Gussie Moran and Mrs. Pat Todd say they'll never sign pro contracts. They gave with that statement when they learned that Bobby Riggs was thinking of lin- ing up their service for a coun- try-wide tour, Stan Leonard of Vancouver, con- sistently one of Canada's top golfers is getting lots of applause for his great showing in the Long Beach Open where he copped second prize to Fred Haas Jr. Our posies to the guy, he deserves them.

Sport Shorts From Britain London, Jan, 24 --(CP)-- Pur- chase tax is driving cricket off England's village greens, D. R. Jardine, former Test captain, sug- gests. Writing in an omnibus annual, "The Sports Book," Jardine said costs are becoming prohibitive for many of the smaller clubs which have been the game's backbone. "It is not a question of state aid which, to many at least, is prob- ably neither practicable nor desir- able," he wrote. "The question is rather one of the active state dis- couragement by means of the pur- chase tax." Purchase tax on the implements of all outdoor team games should be removed, since "such games make their fair contribution to the country's exchequer, apart from keeping people fit, every time the secretary posts a letter, or a shirt or pair of flannels is bought. "We want a nation of players rather than a nation of watchers. To make the game as cheap as pos- sible goes some way to realizing that ideal." Present purchase tax on cricket gear is 33% per cent, An improved type of soccer ball has been tried successfully in the Athenian League and may eventu- ally be adopted for big-league play. Introduced for a game which was to be televised, between Tooting and Bromley, it is a white ball covered with "a secret compound" which enables it to retain color and weight under the hardest playing condi- tions. W. A. Warren, honorary secretary of the Athenian League, told re- porters the ball should have been "like a lump of lead" after play on a muddy field but there had been hardly any change in the weight. The English Amateur Golf Championship at Royal Cinque Ports, Deal, Kent, next April will open with two rounds of medal play. It's the first time the tourna- ment hasn't been all match play. The executive of the English Golf Union said the top 31 players and all who tie for 32nd place would go from the medal rounds into the sudden-death section of the tournament.

EMPIRE GAMES SEEM HEADED FOR SUCCESS (Editor's note: Vernon Morgan, Reuters Sports Editor, was a mem- ber of the track squad which rep- resented Britain at the first Empire Games, at Hamilton, Ont., in 1930. In this story, Morgan describes some of the color connected with the 1950 Games and reminisces about his experiences at Hamilton.) By VERNON MORGAN Auckland, N.Z., Jan, 27--(Reut- ers)--The fourth Empire Games, from .all advance indications, will be an outstanding success. The citizens of this city of 82,000 have taken the competitors to their hearts just as Hamilton did 20 years ago. I can say this with authority as I ran at Hamilton, finishing third in the steeplechase event. Spirit Remains Same There is the same enthusiasm here today among the men, women and youth of the country as ran through the citizens of Hamilton in 1930. Times change and with them customs, but the Empire Games spirit remains as strong as ever. Lord Willingdon's statement at the opening of the first Games-- "The strength of the British Empire has been largely built up by the fact that every citizen has a love for sports and games'--remains as true today as it did when Lord Willingdon was Canada's Governor General, Canada's men and women, some of them but a twinkle in their father's eye those 20 years ago, are today receiving the same wonderful hospitality as their guests received at Hamilton, Tickets are selling fast, and al- ready, with 10 more days to go to the start of the Games on Feb. 4, more than £37,000 ($114,700) has been taken in at the gate. Every day 'long lines form early in the morning at the ticket agencies. No more than 40,000 persons will be allowed into Eden Park, where the opening ceremonies and track and field events will be held. Expect Good Marathon New Zealand officials predict a record for the marathon event, The favorite will be Tom Richards of Wales, runner-up at the 1948 Olym- pics in London, But he should be in for stiff competition from Canada's three-ply: entry of Gerard Cote, the St. Hyacinthe, Que., veteran; Paul Collins of Wolfville, N.S., winner of the Games Marathon Trial; and George Norman of Toronto, second in the Games trial. HOCKEY'S BIG SEVEN Ted Lindsay of Detroit Red Wilgs continues to lead National Hockey League scorers with 50 points -- 17 goals and 33 assists. One point be- hind is teammate Sid Abel with 25 goals and 24 assists. Abel is tied with Maurice Richard of Montreal in the field of goals with 25 apiece. Richard is in third spot of the scor- ing list with 40 points.

'Team Maager Jack Davies said they'll work through the week-end without let-up in their preps for the games which are only eight days away. Davies said some of the athletes looked "Worn and wan" on their arrival last night. The second division, comprising 35 athletes and officials, was de- layed five days by bad weather in the flight from Vancouver. But despite Davies' fears all the new arrivals appeared in tip-top shape as they went through train- ing paces this morning. After watching the other team in action here, Davies thinks the Canadian squad has an excellent chance of winning their share of titles in the big meet. Canadian training methods and technique, patterned on the United States style, generally are superior in comparison with the other squads, he thought. "I won't start trying to name prospective Canadian winners, Too much will depend on conditions for that, but I' feel quite justified in expecting a good proportion of our team will be successful," he said. The Canadians' camp at Empire Village in nearby Ardmore is free of injuries. Rich Ferguson of Toronto, 17- year-old middle-distance man, is feeling in top gear, especially since the village's pet insisted on having her six kittens in his locker the other day. Attempts by other vil- lagers to shift the kittens some- where else have been stoutly resis- ted by the entire Canadian team. "They were born on Canadian soil and are Canadian citizens," say the Canucks. Photogenic Irene Strong, the Vancouver swim start whose plc- ture has been published more than any other games' athlete so far, has been heading astream of visitors to the kttens' cubicle, bearing gifts of milk and ice cream. A.H.L. HOCKEY CHIPS New Haven Ramblers are moving ahead in the American Hockey League at the expense of the east- ern and western division leaders. Thursday night the Ramblers took Buffalo Bisons, head of the eastern section, into camp 5-3. And in their previous game turned back Cleveland Barons, leaders in the western loop. The victory, fourth straight for the Ramblers moved them into third place in the eastern division, on2 point ahead of Springfield who lost 4-3 to Indianapolis Capitals in the only other game played last night. The triumph enabled the Caps to take sole possession on the western section's second position, 19 points behind the leading Barons and one point ahead of St. Louis and Pitts- burgh, tied for third place with 48 points. !
