The 4':-mile jumping classic is scheduled at Aintree, near Liverpool, Saturday, April 7. A field of 42 horses is expected to start. A bookmakers'callover Wednesday night gave odds on 20 of the horses, with the rest of the field quoted at 100 to 1 against.

Baseball games will be broadcast and televised to more people this year than ever before.

(Phog) Allen, Stormy Petrel of College Athletics, called Wednesday for College Presidents to surrender their power to a National Commissioner who would reveive $100,000 yearly. "Until we get a Na- tional Commissioner of intercollegiate sport we will never put a ceiling on aid for athletes," said the Kansas basketball coach at a luncheon given by the New York Herald-Tribune for its east-west basketball game. "I was told that Bobby Reynolds (All-America halfback at the University of Nebraska) was offered $10,000 and a Cadillac to go to some other school," said Allen. "He didn't go. That raises the question of what he gets at Nebraska." . * + L J Baseball leaders, fans, state and city officials thronged the Church of Advent (Episcopal) Wednesday for the funeral of Eddie Collins, 63, one of baseball's immortals and a member of the game's Hall of Fame. A Requiem Mass was celebrated for the Boston Red Sox Vice-President who died Sunday after a 44-year career as player, manager, coach and executive with Philadelphia Athletics, Chicago White Sox and the Red Sox. Mrs. Ted Williams, wife of the Red Sox slugger, represented her husband. It was Collins who brought "the splendid splinter" to the Boston Club during his brief service as a scout . . . Police are looking along the Atlantic seaboard for at least four more fixers of college basketball games, District Attorney Frank S. Hogan said Wednesday night. He added that "one or more of the four sought may have had confederates, fellow pirators."

Gelineau Perfect Says Mr. Bentley That's for Sure By GERRY LOUGHEED Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, March 20--(CP) - Take it from the players themselves, this Toronto-Boston Stanley Cup semi- final series is going to be "plenty tough." Both clubs Wednesday nght re- viewed their series opener from dif- ferent angles but they were agreed a rugged battle is only beginning. Bruins' dressing room sounded like a wild west show after their 2-0 victory over the Maple Leafs, The reporters swarmed around Goalie Jack Gelineau who turned in a superlative effort in shutting out the Leafs. "Yes it was my first shtut-out over Toronto but I really earned it tonight," he said, as he reached for a towel to wipe away the perspiration. "It's going to be a rough series, all right." Coach Lynn Patrick was jybilant over Boston's first victory oh To- ronto ice this season. But he wasn't making' any predictions as to who would win the semi-final round. "You can say the first team that wins four games will take it," he sald with a smile. "Like Jack said-- "it's going to t-~ tough." Patrick singled out Wild Bill Ezi- nicki, whom Leafs traded to the Bruins early this season, for spe- cial praise, "Fzinicki tonight played the best game since he came to us. I don't think Conn Smythe will be any too happy about that." Exinicki, who played a bruising game from his right-wing spot, sald "it sure feels good to win that first one, but we won't feel happy until we get all four of them." The Leaf dressing room was quiet as the players hurried to the show- ers and changed to street clothes. Smythe reminded reporters that "I told you two months ago that Boston would be a solid outfit. "Give them a yeard and they're hard to beat." "We didn't have too much to- night," he added with a shrug. Max Bentley, Leafs' dipsy-doodle centre, thought Gelineau played a good game. "In fact hegplayed a per- fect game, we couldn't beat him," he add as an after thought. "This series is going to be plenty tough before it's over." Coach Joe Primeau echoed Bent- ley's opinion, He declined to predict who would win out. After the game, Leafs left for St. Catharines, where they spend their time between playoff games. Bruins remain in Toronto for the second game Saturday night. A census in 1851 showed the pop- ulation of Great Britain and Ire- land then was 27,533,755.

Long Tough Series Says Jack Adams After Habs Win Detroit, Mdrch 29--(AP) -- If it was a good jolt the Detroit Red Wings needed, they should be all set up for the rest of their Nation- al Hockey League Stanley Cup Se- ries 'with Montreal. And if it was extra confidence that the Canadiens lacked, they should have plenty of that by virtue of their 3-2 marathon win in the opener Tuesday night. Either way you look at it, there will be plenty of the suspense ele- ment and proba"y some hot hockey when the two teams resume their best-of-seven series here tonight. Detroit Manager Jack Adams said "it looks like a long, tough series." That's nothing new for these tra- ditional N.H.L. rivals who have played four previous Stanley Cup Series to the seven-game lmit.

The Red Wings have been the brightest lights of the N.H.L. for two seasons now, They went into the series as staunch favorites. But the Montreal victory provided a tremendous morale boost for the Canadiens, particularly young Goal- fe Gerry McNeil. McNeil had been worried about his work at the Montreal goal, feel- ing he wasn't an adequate replace- ment for Bill Durnan. But he turn- ed in a sparkling job.

ON TIMES q PHOTO ' STU 22 SIMCOE S. PHONE 126 DIO Confidence Is Main Theme - For White Sox ~ By GAYLE TALBOT Phoenix, Ariz, March 28--(AP)-- Nothing has happened yet to con- vince Chicago White Sox that they didn't at least break even with Bos- ton in the winter's biggest player deal, or that they are not on their way up in the American League. Paul Richards, thin, square-jawed new pilot of the Comiskey clan, has whipped his athletes into shape un- der a vigorous ' training routine. Maybe they aren't any better than the team which finished sixth last year, but they at least look better. From Boston, the White Sox got a run-producing outfielaer in Al Zarilla, who hit .326 for Boston last year; Joe Dobson, a veteran right- hand pitcher; and Dick Littlefield, a promising southpaw. To get these men, the Sox sur- rendered pitches Bill Wight and Ray Scarborough, . If Left-Fielder Gus Zernial gets off to as great a start as he did last year and keeps it up, the Sox will get some runs. Gus hit 29 home runs and drove in 93 scores last season. First-Baseman Ed Robinson hit 311 after joining the Sox last year from Washington. Chico Carrasquel, the team's superb Shortstop, was a troublesome .282 hitter. Dave Phil- ley, whom Richards is transforming from an outfielder into a third- baseman this spring, drove in 80 runs last year. Experts travelling with the Sox think they might climb over Wash- ington into fifth place. There even has been talk about beatin Detroit out of its place in the Firs {§)ivision, The Sox are fairly well blessed with pitchers. Bob Cain and Billy Pierce are considered among che finest southpaws in the game. Howie Judson is one of the league's better right-handers, and Luis Alo- ma one of its best relief pitchers. In addition, there is one Marvin Rotblatt, young southpaw who won 22 while losing only nine at Mem- phis. , As of this season, the team has two better-than-average catchers in Phil Masi and Gus Niarhos. Gus hit 324 after switching from the Yanks last year. Nelson Fox, a fine fielder if in- different hitter, will again do most of 'the second-basing, and Floyd Baker fills in competently either at third or second. Veteran Hank Ma- jeski, who hit .309 in 122 games last year, is available at third, de- pending upon how well Philley does, OMEMEE HAWKS WIN Lindsay, March 29--(CP)--Ome- mee Black Hawks won the Ontario Rural Hockey Association Intermed- iate A Championship last night by trouncing Oxford Centre 14-8. They won the best-of-three series in two straight games, It was their second successive title. Oxford led briefly in the first period but Hawks, paced 'by Bill Parker and Orlin Crawford, struck for five goals early in the second and went on to win handily. Crawford tallied three goals and brother Harold and Parker got two each. 'G. Dickson and Jack Wilson scored two goals each for Oxford Centre. fi Horse Doctors Say "Your Host" Be Destroyed Arcadia, Calif.,-March 20--(AP)-- The sentence of death has been pase sed on Your Host, the 1950 Ken- tucky Derby favorite, as game a horse as thoroughbreds come. Four veterinarians have examined movie "executive Willlam Goetz' four-year-old colt since he was in- jured at Santa Anita on Jan. 13. All have recommended that he be destroyed. . Only the red tape involved in a $250,000 insurance policy is pro- longing the pain-wracked existenc ot a badly-crippled animal whose right leg, the tendons withering, is drawn up at a 45-degree angle. Your Host, a son of the great Ali- bhai, was born with physical handi-" caps, but there never was anything wrong with his heart. Movie boss Louis B. Mayer bred Your Host, but handlers discovered that the youngs- ter had a neck crook and couldn't straighten it. Goetz made a fortun- ate buy. Your Host liked to rum, liked to win, He ran and he won and Goetz pocketed $384,795. Your Host was a big disappoint- ment in the 1950 Kentucky Derby, finishing out of the money, but he had had a vigorous winter campaign in California and apparently had lost his fine edge. Back here, as a four-year-old, he was regaining his sharpness, His train r, Harry Dan- iels, called him a cinch for the $200- 00' Santa Anita Maturity. Your Host didn't get up to that race. Running in the San Pasqual Handicap, he fell on the far turn, throwing Jockey Eric Guerin, who was uninjured. Your Host suffered a shattered ulna bone, broken in four places. The animal has been in extreme pain for some time, and stands on three legs. "What good is a three-legged horse?" asks veterinarian Dr. J. E. Peters, who has taken care of Your Host since the accident. "If we could have operated on him a month ago Ww» might have saved him for stud purposes. Now that's impos- sible." So a game and courageous com- petitor of the turf is suffering out the last days of his existence, the penalty of his un'lagging desire to do his best at all times. TIGERS STAY IN Hamilton, March 20 (CP)--Ham- ilton will be represented in senior in the com'ng season, it was an- nounced Wednesday night, Doubt about whether the team would op- erate was removed by Lefty Jordan, Hamilton trainer, who said the Ti- gers would be run on a co-opera= tive basis with the players sharing the expenses and profits if any.
