Monarch Coach Wally Men- son figures his team wasn't as bad as all that. "Any team out here could have taken their measure in that game," he's said to have offered as an opening gambit.

The O.C.V.I. is currently running-off their annual track and field championships. The event lasts over a period of quite a few days since it takes place after school at the Alex- andra Park oval. Some good times in the 100 and 220-yard sprints have been recorded. A record is sald to have been equalled in the first named. Cobourg of the Lakeshore In- termediate Baseball League had a pitcher named Bill Jamieson last season. He tried for a posie tion in pro ball below the bor- der at one of the numerous camps held up in this district in the late summer.

Midwinter Inventory of North America's Migratory Waterfowl This year's midwinter inventory of North America's migratory waterfowl indicated that in general the waterfowl stocks of the con- tinent are at a level approximately equal to that of 1949, The inventory covered the more important wintering areas of game species of waterfowl in Canada, Alaska, the United States, Mexico and the West Indies, as well as parts of four countries in Central America. While more than 1,200,000 waterfowl were reported in Canada the number wintering in the Unit- ed States is many times as great. In British Columbia alone more than a million waterfowl -- chiefly ducks--were counted by direct co- servation and aerial photography. This represented an due largely to delay in southward | migration on account of the mild | winter, In the Maritime Provinces almost | 90,000 waterfowl were counted. Here | an apparent reduction from 100,000 | of a year ago may have been due | to the mild weather permitting the | birds to disperse among the lakes | and marshes whereas normally they | tend to concentrate in a few key | with those shown today you will | areas. About 45,000 waterfowl were | observed in Ontario; some 32,000 in | Newfoundland. Waterfowl winter- | ing in the remainder of Canada | were, comparatively few, { In Eastern Canada sea ducks -- eiders, scoters and old squaws -- were generally more numerous than a year ago, Black ducks were fewer i except in Quebec. Mallards, the | popular game ducks of Western sportsmen, were seen in satisfactory numbers, chiefly in the Pacific Coast region. The rare trumpeter swan continues to respond well to protection. Seven hundred of these birds were counted on their win- tering grounds in British Columbia. here Thursdsy at Kansas City.

Jack Gardner, British and European heavyweight champion, agreed again Thursday to fight Argentina's Cesar Brion.

PLATE "dl Sports Roundup | By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. New York, May 4--(AP)--""Twen- ty-five years ago," moaned one of the old-timers around the Interna- tional Boxing Club office, "you could find heavyweights in any country. We had Uzcudun, Heeney, Phil Scott, Von Porat, Schmeling, | Spalla, Carnera, Pierre Charles. Now all we got is is few guys with talent who won't keep in shape and a lot who'll work hard, who are al- ways in condition, but who can't . . The day after he made that statement, they signed old Joe Louis and not-so-young Lee Savold for the first big outdoor heavy- weight fight of 1951 . . . There's no connection between the remark and the signing, but somehow they seem to fit , . . After you eliminate the won't-fight and can't fight heavy- weights, you haven't much left but Champ Eszard Charles and old gentlemen like Joe and Lee . . . It's rather painful to see Louis, almost 37, trying to regain his youthful fighting form . . . Savold, 45 in the books, is recognized as champion in Britain, But his list of victims is unimpressive and, as someone said, "he hasn't gone 15 rounds since he was a bartender." -- Timely paral- lel. Going back to the old-timer's old times, you may recall that about 25 years ago Gene Tunney won the heavyweight title from Jack Demp- sey in Jack's first real fight in three years. Two years later Gene retir- ed because he had enough dough and there was no one to fight . . . Those were the days of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 gates, and when a fighter could keep most of his mon- ey. Naturally everyone who was big enough tried to get into the act. Some of those names now bring nostalgic memories of "pretty good fighters" were described in less fav- orable terms then . . .

Beverly Eckhardt is shown in today's photos illustrating a4 swing made very close to the regular golf plane. By comparing the 'other photos note the only difference to be the forward position of the body.

The b ving position --Central Press Canadian. * other positions of shoulders; arms, hands and the club are practically the same as they are when standing fully erect and swinging the club near shoulder level. In the back- swing, the extended left arm and the shaft are in the same plane. In the follow through the right arm and shaft are in_the same plane. And now comes a sentence worth studying. When you can approxi- mate these positions in your back- swing and follow through, your club will be travelling in the proper plane throughout the rest of your swing. To master these positions would bring you unlimited returns in the way of lower scores and more fun out of your golf. Remember, it is not enough to get into the proper position in wd backswing. You must also finistf in the' proper position. You'll find it easier to master either or both posi- tions by first noting that the finish position is a duplication of the backswing position. The only dif- ference being a reversal of the roles of the respective arms. One key to both positions is the: dropping of the elbow of the arm close to the body. In the back- swing the left arm is extended and the right arth remains easy. In the follow - through the right arm is pulled into an extended position by the momentum of the club and the left arm drops into an easy position. _ Naturally, both hands should re- main in the same position on the club and in relation to each other. Likewise' the head remains steady over the ball. BE SMART! FEEL SMART! LOOK SMART! «+ « Wear clothes that are _ hand tailored the way you want them to fit you.
