RyBefore the war, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1951 Motorcycle "Road Racing" On Paved Airport Runways * Produces Speed and Thrills Speedy Action, Hair- Raising Thrills When Daredevil Riders Cut Loose On Paved Strips -- British Empire Club Riders Presenting Pro- gram Here Tomorrow Road racing has always been one of the most interesting of motor- cycle sports, calling for high speed and great skill, with fractional con- trol of the machine. In most countries, however, the enthusiasts looking for substitutes public roads cannot be closed and found, especially in Britain, many "war surplus" airports which might be used. From this developed Air- port Racing. The motorcycles use parts of the perimeter runways and high speeds are developed on the straights, The airport runways have no camber, as have the roads, and riders can choose their line through corners with more freedom, and this results in a variety of styles of riding by which the men can soon be recognized. In Ontario, Airport Races have been held at Gananoque each year in August and as each event is held we see the great improvement in fhe riders and get to know them as individuals. Has Long Experience The British Empire Motor Club vhich was founded in 1928 has organized races ever since then. Bayview Avenue in Toronto was the scene of one ent. For several years, races were eld on the sand at Wasaga Beach and it was here in 1948 that the Canadian speed retord for sand was set at 114 mp.h. However, the ircuit at Wasaga did nothing to improve the standard of riding and po a change to Airport Racing was ade last year. In 1950, the British Empire Motor Club organized three airport races at Edenvale Airport, just north of Barrie and the inter- est shown by spectators and riders encouraged them to put on similar events this year. : Famous Riders Here May 24 will see the most skillful | riders from Ontario and Quebec competing for the Kaye Don The sly old fox, Bob Sparks, on the speedy, home-built "Jordan Special." winner, Eddie Stidolph, is racing this year on the Isle of Man in the Tourist Trophy Races, the Mecca of all keen motorcyclists. At Osh- awa Airport this year we will see such famous Canadian riders as Len Duckworth, who is one of the most experienced racers in Ontario. George Train is a comparative new- comer but is a keen rider who gets every bit of power from his machine. Bill Duncan, riding a shaft-driven motorcycle, is one of the. neatest riders, with very fast acceleration. Ted Buck rides in almost every motorcycle 'event and even when his mount is an older-than-average machine, he has it in perfect con- dition. We are also looking forward to seeing some riders from Quebec, all fast men with plenty of experi- ence and with good machines. They can be relied upon to make an interesting race. From Toronto comes Howard Adair with one of the fastest machines on the circuit. There will be many other enthusi- asts who have worked hard to make their motorcycles as near perfect as possible. Have Important Job Behind the scenes will be the mechanics who work so hard in the pits, making sure that their particu- lar machine will keep going through- out the events, and who have to cope with those last-minute troubles which have to be dealt with, with the utmost skill and speed. As long as we can find good cir- cuits the B.EM.C. will be organising events, How about helping to make May 24 a success and at the same 'Trophy, which is awarded each year in a. main speed event. Last year's time see something different, thrill- ing and speedy? Chicago White Sox Continue To Amaze Paul Richards Pilots] Pale Hose To Flying Start Just Two Games Back Of Pace- Setfing Yankees: Shades of 1919? Can the 1951 Chicago White Sox duplicate the |: feat of their predecessors of 32 years ago? And we don't mean "throw" the World Series. The similarity between the two elubs is striking. Both finished in sixth place the previous campaign; both began the new season under new leadership; both were picked to finish deep in the second di- vision, and both got off to flying starts, The 1919 Sox, ably piloted by freshman manager Bill (Kid) Gleason, went on to win the pen- nant. Can the '51 Sox, under the leadership of newcomer Paul Rich- ards, do the same? Near Clean Sweep Richards' astonishing athletes need only to win tonight and to- morrow in Philadelphia to complete a clean sweep on their rampaging tour through the eastern badlands. The White Sox began the trip by trouncing the Red Sox twice in Boston. Then they whipped the Yankees in New York. Last night they whipped the Senators in Washington for the third straight time 9-8. That made six victories in a row, nine of 11 on the road this year, and 18 wins against nine defeats for the season. - : Yesterday's triumph kept the elub in second place, two lengths in back of the defending cham- pion Yankees, who beat St. Louis Browns 6-1. Boston's Red Sox tamed the Detroit Tigers 6-3 to move past Washington in fourth place, a half game behind the Ben- gals. Cleveland clipped Philadel- phia Athletics 6-2 in a night affair, ; Outscore Bucs In the limited National League action, front-running Brooklyn outscored the Pirates 17-8.in Pitts- burgh and Boston's Braves thrash- ed the Cardinals 7-2 to displace St. Louis in third slot. Rain forced the postponement of the scheduled contests between New York Giants and the Cubs in Chicago, and Philadalphia's Phils and the Reds in Cincinnati. A three-run White Sox rally in the seventh, featured by Nelson Fox's home run, overcame a six- run Washington assault in the seventh to win for relief pitcher Harry Dorish. The defeat was charged to Joe Haynes. Call McLELLAN'S OSHAWA. . .DIAL 5-1021 FIRESTONE | TIRES © Passenger © Truck ® Tractor ® Factory Retreading A.L.

Pedlars did it for softball last Friaay and at that time all but about three of the big bulbs were functioning in top order. The opposition for the strong, juniors from this city are their perennial play-off rivals, Peter Pan Cleaners. Just how strong® Sammy Zales outfit is this year is hard to tell One minute they are winning by terrific scores and the next they lose to the same team. A hot and cold aggregation it seems . . . but Sam hasn't yet obtained those players in that deal with Detroit Tigers . . . that could make a difference. Pans walloped Y-E Motors by a 13-4 count a week back, but dropped a 5-4 verdict to, the same team just the other night. Whether the Motors club gath- ered know-how while playing their two losses with the Trans- porters and used that against Pans or not, we can't say, but Zale must be using a large cry- ing towel right now. He's running two teams you know, a junior outfit in the N.T.B.A. and a senior crew with a lot of junior players on it, in the West Toronto Senior Lea- ue. "The heavy schedule could be the gentleman's undoing. And that heavy rain last night could be both team undoing. CHECKLETS -- Against "the. load of southpaw batting talent that Zale is supposed to have gathered on the Peter Pans juniors this year, Coach Willson of the Transporters is expected to use his. top leftie, Jack Durs- ton. He's the lad brought in from Fort William by the Generals to play defence next season. Looks great in practice. The jackets for the Oshawa Junior Bees are being sported around town these days white body and blue sleeves, not bad! Jim Jo_nson, one of the absent members of the club . . . now in Cardinal Ontario, of all places, will have his sent to him by mail. Cardinal was the home town of southpaw pitcher Carl Coons who played with the Transport- ers last year . . . wonder if the two have happened to run into each other.

Ottawa Giants Blast Orioles By 10--2 Count The pitching of Alex Konikowski is one of the reasons Ottawa Giants arc right in the thick of the Inter- national League pennant scramble. Konikowski was tabbed for relief work when the season started. The 22-year-old righthander came through brilliantly. He won two games and saved three others. His excellent work in relief roles earned him his chance as a starter last night. Konikowski made the most of the opportunity. He pitch- ed the Giants to a 10-2 victory over Baltimore Oricles. He allowed eight hits, walked one and fanned seven in bagging his third victory without a loss, The Giants banged out 13 hits with Stan Jok and Ziggy Jasinski leading the way with three hits each. Jok and Dutch Mele drove in three runs each. The Orioles scored in the seventh on a two-run pinch-hit single by Anse Moore. The victory boosted the fourth- place Giants to within four games of the pace-setting Montreals. Syracuse downed the Royals, 7-5, in a game marred by 18 bases on balls. The Chiefs led all the way but. the Royals threatened in the ninth, 'scoring twice and loading the bases with two out. Art Hartley, fifth Syracuse pitcher, then got George Pfister to hit into a force play to end the game. Rochester's runner-up Red Wings dropped a 7-6 aecision to Buffalo | Bisons. The Bisons scored all their | runs in. the first three innings | against previously unbeaten Kurt | Krieger. Alex Carrasquel, third | bisons pitcher, was the winner. re ---------- BASEBALL'S BIG SIX By The Associated Press Leading Batsmen Player and Club G AB Abrams, Dodgers 24 62 Robinson, Dodg. 32 118 Reese, Dodgers . 33 121 Kryhoski, Tigers 18 67 Fain, Athletics . 31 113 Busby, White 8S. 25 92 18 33 .359 Runs batted in: American--Robin- son, White Sox, 28.

Formerly, the first 20 finishers shared in awards totalling $10,000. Winner of the event, set for To- ronto Mississaugua July 3-7, will pull down' $2,250, plus the Seagram Gold Cup for a year and a replica as a permanent possession. This makes top money $250 higher than it was formerly. Second place money remains unchanged at $1,400, and third place is worth $1,200 instead of an even $1,000. The prize money drops $100 per position from third spot to the $600 going to the ninth-place finisher. The scale of prizes is based on the standard for a $15,000 tourna- ment set by the Professional Golf- ers Association of America. Can- ada moves up to the $15,000 class for the first time this year as a result of a new seven-year agree- ment between the R.C.G.A. and the House of Seagram. Tenth place money 'from now on will be $520, with $440 for 11th spot, $360 for 12th, $310 for 13th, $270 for 14th and $250 for 15th. The next 20 prizes 'drop $10 per position down to the $50 for 35th spot. Under the new set-up, the man who finishes 10th this year, for example, will collect almost as much as the man who wound up fifth when the Open was a $10,000 tournament. R.C.G.A. officials are confident that," although the increase in prize money will attract many ad- ditional stars from the U.S. money circuit, Canadian pros stand to gain most from the new prize list. A Canadian has not won this country's top golfing honors since the Seagram Gold Cup and its heavy prize money came into the picture in 1936, but the list of finishers from third place to 35th is generally heavily studded with Canadian names, The Canadian Open usually at- tracts upwards of 200 entries, but this year a pre-tournament quali- fying round July 3 will limit the field of the actual Open to 150. That number is cut to 100 on Fri- dey, July 6, and to 60 for the final ay. } 300 GAMES Milwaukee--Up to August of last year, 3,909 bowlers had received awards from the ABC for rolling 300 games.

According to Alfie the old rallying call is out for this Sat- urday: "Let's Have a Party!" Bert Rogers would like to remind you that there is still lots of work to be done to spring clean the club- house. He's there every night this week and plans to spend all day Thursday down at the club.

So its difficult to figure the angles on the sudden burst of box- ing activity that is taking place after a dull winter . . . To wind up the indoor season the Interna- tional Boxing Club carded three title bouts--QGavilan vs. Bratton last week, Ike Williams vs. James Cars ter Friday ana neavyweight champ Ezzard Charles vs. light heavy boss Joe Maxim next week in Chicago. . , After that, the mob will have to risk . fresh air poisoning in the ball parks. There's Joe Louis and Lee Savold ' June 13, Jake Lamotta and Bob Murphy on the 27th and Rex Layne and Rocky Marciano July 18, all in New York . . . If Maxim doesn't beat Charles, he'll defend his 175« pound title probably against the Lamotta-Murphy winner in Chicago. The IBC also is figuring on one outdoor fight for its Detroit branch in connection with that city's 250th anniversary celebration and plans to send Charles against the Louis Savold winner ana possibly stage another Sandy Saddler-Willie Pep brawl before the summer ends . , . The angle? Well, it might be that outdoor fights aren't covered in the annual television contracts and there has. been some lively bidding by the outfit which airs them on Wed- nesday nights.
