Baseball Writers Tender Party to Retiring Henrich New York, Jan. 23--(AP)--Tom- my Henrich, the new Yankee coach, talked about Tommy Hen- rich, the "old reliable" of the New ork ball club as a man he used know.

And how jeorge Weiss was elected to break he news to Henrich who already was on the series scene at Phila- delphia. "Weiss called up Tom," said Pat- terson. "He fold him what Casey 'had said. All Henrich said was 'do you have an extra ticket? I brought a friend with me.'" Henrich, who got a $25,000 bonus for signing with the Yanks as a free agent in 1937 after Judge K. M. Landis, then baseball commis- sioner, freed him from the Cleve- land organization, was given a humidor loaded with cigars. He told the secret of his success in getting along yith the baseball writers. Good Advice "When I first came up I asked the other fellows how to do it)" he sald. "Johnny Murphy said 'don't read any of them.' Tony Lagzeri sald 'to hell with all of them.' "I took Murphy's advice.

'The 20-year-old native of Ham- ilton, says his dream of crashing into the bullfighting business and being the first professional Cana- dian bullfighter is all but shattered. The first strike: Vancouver Pilot Jim Foster is in Colombia, South America, to meet his first bull sometime this month. The other 60 are dollars which Freeman needs to get to Mexico and round out his training as a toreador. . Now, he's selling everything fro, magazine subscriptions to brushes for these 60 strikes. Gilbert, or Freeman, is no stran- ger to the business. He's already fought four bulls in Lima, Peru. "They were small ones," he said.

Talking about how he signed without complaint to play for Cleveland this season, Larry said, grinning; "Considering I've only played three years, I wasn't think- ing too high. If I prove I can continue to play good ball, then maybe I'll join those upper brac- kets." The guesses on Doby's 1951 salary have been between $20,000 and $30,000, but they're only guesses. At the mention of a pennant, Larry brightens up: "Take our , position for position, and bw il it with the other clubs. Only one hat stacks up with us is the Red Sox." Cleveland's baseball writers, im- pressed. by Dob's fast rise to top batter of the Indians last season |Peg: (326) and his home-run ability (25), honored Doby last night at a banquet as their choice of Cleve- land's baseball man of the year. This was the first time a Negro had received this acclaim, and it took Doby a few moments to find his voice when he stepped up to the microphone to address some 700 sports figures and guests. "First," he said, scarcely above a whisper, "I want to thank the Good Lord .for giving me the abil- ity to play baseball." Then Larry emphasized how he felt a lot of people should be up there on the platform with him the many who had helped him. Of these, he singled out all his "fine team-mates," with an expres- sion -of gratitude to ex-manager Lou Bdudreau, who "always show- ed such confidence in me." The writers gave Doby a big home-freeze unit, a record player and a plaque. Woodstock Council Suggests Fund For Five Players |:n Woodstock, Jan. 23 (CP)-- Making the first contribution, Ald. D. A.

Lawson, newly-elected president of the Big Four Football Union, said Monday his league "won't with- draw" from the Canadian Rugby Union. The statement was made in reply to a demand that the Big Four and Western Conference pull out of the CR.U. to allow the return of the Grey Cup and the Dominion foot- ball crown to non-professional com petition. William Fry, head of the inter- mediate section of the Ontario Rugby Football Union, said his group feels the Big Four and West- ern leagues no longer are represen- tative of Canadian football and that they should get out of the CR.U. He said the annual meeting of his section Saturday passed a reso- lution that the O.RF.U. sponsor such a proposal at the CR.U, ane nual meeting in March at Winni- b-2-4- 33-84-44 The policy of the Big Four and Western Conference in importing coaches and players from the United States has closed the door to Canadians for football coaching jobs and their rightful places as players, Fry added. He criticized the two big leagues for dominating the C.R.U. and said "our understanding is that the C.R.U. is made up of all Canadian unions and its functions is to en- courage football in all its branches and departments," Woodstock Players Reported Doing Well Brantford, Jan, 28--(CP).--Hos- pital authorities reported Monday that four of the 'five ® Woodstock hockey players still in hospital after a highway accident Friday night are "doing well."

GROUPS Montreal, Jan. 23--(CP).--Frank Boucher of New York Rangers came out here during the weekend with the suggestion that the Na- tional Hockey League be enlarged as a means of boosting attendance. He was discussing possible rea- sons for the decline in attendance in United States cities. "The crowds are holding up in Montreal, Toronto and Detroit," he said. "But they are down in New York, Boston and Chicago. Hockey needs a lift in those cities and en- larging the league to include 12 teams may be the answer." He said he believes it would be a step forward if the league were divided into two divisions, East and West, In Bouchard's Eastern Divi- sion would be New York, Boston, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa. The Western Division would embrace Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Buffalo and St. Louis. . "An interlocking schedule could be drawn up and you can see the advantage of it," he said. "The fans would see twice as many teams in a season as they see today. The Stanley Cup would be contested by the winners of the two divisions, which would eliminate much of the criticism aimed at the present play- off system." Boucher suggested no club really needs more than 15 players and all NHL clubs now are carrying 18. "If each club released three play- ers there would immediately be available 18 players with NHL ex- perience. Then a new draft rule could be introduced which would allow the clubs to draft players from amateur ranks with the weak clubs getting first choice in the draft." Norway's greatest natural asset, waterpower, makes up for her lack of sufficient coal for domestic needs. Bees should have won the game last night . . . they had plenty of opportunities around the enemy net, but just booted them away through poor pass- ing and shooting. Still it was a very close de- cision and the fans enjoyed it . +. all 204 of them. That's quite a few for Oshawa, but way below the attendance marks in every other city in the league which cracks 1,000 each time out, Vv Another Peterborough team will be visiting Oshawa this Wednesday night, and they play basketball very well. The cagers in this case are the Pete Marines and they'll do battle with the rejuvenated Stone Health Grads at the O.C.V,I. at 8:00 p.m. Last time out, the Grads were humbled by the Marines, but with a few replacements on their club, they feel able to give the visit- ors "what-for" on their own floor, In Peterborough, where the other game was played, the Grads were laboring under some rather rugged difficulties. No. 1 among these was a solid zone defence thrown up by the Marines on their midget-size court. No. 2 was a guy named Thorbourn who tossed fading hooks into the basket like no- body's business. No. 3 was the officialling which dealt rather sharply with body contact. Wel take up the question of body contact first. According to the rules it shouldn't occur . . . but, if any game is played in a limited space, at top speed by 10 spirited young giants and body contact doesn't occur, some is wrong with the aforementioned giants, Here in Oshawa, we are developing a thrilling-to-watch type of bas- ketball that allows limited use of the "bumps" much like the Southwestern conferences in the U.S. When teams from centres like Peterborough and North Toron- to, who believe rather rigidly in the non-contact stuff, play fives, had a minor accident the other day . . , minor in the matter of size of the damage, but major in the amount itl take to replace the damaged article.

Said he, "Aw, it wasn't anything . . ."

The Flying Irish junior bas- ketball club will be without the services of Norm Fry and Jack Mackness for their first away game this Wednesday eve in Cobourg. They'll be depending quite"a bit on set shots against the probable zone defence of the Cobourg club on their nar row court. The Oshawa Transporters are holding meetings these days and it has been announced that this outstanding Junior base- ball club will again be spon- sored by McCallum rt Co.

Our informant, a major-league man noted for looking after the little guys, insists these few sta- tions should be forced into line if they won't go willingly . . . Their principal offences have been apply- ing pressure to get major-league broadcasts while the local minor club was at home and refusing to co-operate in promoting loeal games . . . That may not sound like much, but it can be enough to change the color of the book- keepers' ink and cause a lot of hard feelings /. . "One must in network broadacsts is for the local stations to allot a certain amount of time for promotion of local games. The networks are of a mind to insist on this," our infor- mant adds optimistically . . . And how about the possibility that the problem won't exist next season be- cause there won't be enough minor leagues left to suffer?
