» MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN POSITION O IS VERY F CLUBFACE IMPORTANT driving down to putting it is important to strike the ball with the part of the clubface, seen above, Striking with the toe means a loss in both power and accuracy. ' +* By ALEX J, MORRISON Central Press Canadian Golf Columnist Recently I ran smack dab. into one of the worst crimes any golfer ean commit--that of hitting balls back and forth on the green. This member said, "I'm just Killing time while waiting for my playing com- panions." At first I paid little attention to his remark but when he began voicing complaints about his poor putting it struck me that he, like countless others was doing golf and himself a grave injustice. He was . swinging a 'club without any thought about essentials, He was practising carelessly. The late Walter Travis, who preached and practised the avoid- ance of any and all carelessness in golf, must have frowned upon us. I hastened to mitigate the crime by showing the duffer the error of his ways. I asked him if he gave any thought to how his clubface | struck the ball, whether the ball +* * was hit near the toe or the heel? He never had thought about it.' Then I had him go through the routine shown in the accompany- ing phota, bouncing the ball on the heel of the clubface. By doing this, you too can ap- preciate the need to strike the ball on the heel of the clubface. By doing this, you too can ap- preciate the need to strike the ball with the more Solid portion of the clubface, that area which is closer to the shaft. Only this area gives you consistency in direction and power, The same thing holds good with all clubs from driver down 'to putter. Now it may be that much of | your lack of power and accuracy in some shots comes through strik- {ing the ball off the toe of your clubface, : However, all players generally hit with the same portion of all clubs, namely the toe or some point | | beyond the middle of the clubface. Check on this; don't carelessly leave | it. to chance. COF Organizes Teen-Age Girls Softball Loops The following officers were elec- ted to guide the destiny of the Ca- nadian Foresters softball activities for the summer: Hon. Pres. C. Fer- | guson, Hon. VP. Cal Braun, Pres. Ray Boivin, V.P, Harry Dove. Executive, Harold Lee, Sebe Claus, | Jas. Claus, and Ted Twining, The local league will operate 4 teams, Coulters, managed by Sebe Claus; Alger Press, managed by Harold Lee; the Rangers, managed | by Harry Dove, and the Foresters, managed by Ted Twining. The For- esters entries will be composed of players from Oshawa, Whitby, Rag- lan and Pickering District, and all games will be playedg at Storie Park, on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Members of the Order are | requested to be at Storie Park on Monday, June 4, at 7 o'clock to re- gister. The Order is supervising leagues in Bowmanville, West Hill and Jan- etville, under the direction of Har- ry Snowden, Eddie Smith and John Burn, and will play exhibition games during the summer and a series for the Axtell Trophy in the fall. Tournaments will also be held, the first one in Janetville on July | 21, In the girl's section 4 teams are already operating in the Bowman- | ville District. In Oshawa, working in. conjunc- tion with Keith Craggs, manager | {of the CKLB Wildcats and Fostér ! Kelsey, prominent Toronto sports- man, girls under 18 years of age will be formed into teams. Mana- gers assisting are Bud Anderson, Doug Trivett, Pete Borrows, Reg. Craggs and Cal ™ aun. All girls in- | terested are asked to be at Radio | Park, Tuesday night, 6.30, to regis- ter. | The Order is indeed glad to wel- (come back Harry Dove into its | sporting and Fraternal circle. Dovey |was one of the original directors |of the above activities. His Ranger | clubs, (Bowling, Hockey and Ball), | always gave a good account of themselves. His Forester girls' teams also won the H. B. McCabe trophy on different occasions, and many active athletes today owe their start to Dovey's .raternal teaching and coaching BEAVER INCREASE NORTH BAY, Ont.--(CP)--About, | 2,700 beaver were officially "sealed" after being trapped in the North Bay district in the season just end- ed. The total is about 800 higher |than last year, due to an increase in the district's beaver population. WANT CANADA TO ORGANIZE WINTER GAMES AUCKLAND, N.Z. (CP) -- Now that the 1954 empire games have i been officially awarded to Van-| couver and planning is under way | winter sports enthusiasts here and in Australia are again asking about the propects of Canada orgainizing an Empire winter games tourna- ment, on the lines of the Olympic winter games. Enthusiasts in the southern Do- minions have long felt that the ini- tiative in inaugurating such a meet- g must come from Canada, as Olympics are stronger and more highly organized in Canada than in any other Commonwealth country. It is felt here that as Canada is to be host for the summer Em- pire games in 1954, the preceding winter would be a propitious time to launch Empire winter games. Ski-ing is the most strongly or- ganized of the winter Olympics sports in Australia and New Zea- land and the ski organizations of the two countries have already es- tablished inter-dominion team con- tests on a firm basis. The con- trolling body in New Zealand even made a bid to have skiing included in the main empire games in 1950. On that occasion New Zealand as the host country had the right to nominate two additional sports out- side the standard program. This effort failed and since then ski en- thusiasts have turned increasingly to the idea of a separate Empire winter games, perhaps using the biennial inter-dominion ski-ing con- tests as a basis from which to] work. | These contests between Austra-| lia and New Zealand began before the war and have been uniformly successful. On ope occasion a tri- angular meeting was arranged with United States representatives competing, but attempts to include a Canadian team have so far been fruitless. The Anzac meetings were aban- doned during the second world war | but have been re-established on a | stronger basis than before. The last | | contest was in 1949 when an Aus-| [tralian team visited New Zealand. ! | This year New Zealand is sending |a team to Australia. | | PACIFIC SKI BOOM { Skiing has been booming in the | | southern dominions since the war. {In New Zealand progress has been | | particularly rapid and it now has considerably more ski tows than | {its larger neighbor. New Zealand | | has higher mountains and much | more varied terrain than Australia | and the installation of private com- panies, the government and many clubs has resulted in a rapid im- provement in the standard. There is no doubt, however, that the standard in Canada is still much higher and facilities infinitely better. No resort in the southern dominions, for instance, has any- thing more advanced than simple rope tows. Ice skating, which figures on the Olympic program, is merely an outdoor sport practised on frozen lakes in the south in New Zea- land, but there are one or two indoor rinks in Australia. Chief competition in this and in ice hoc- key would have to come from Great Britain, as the southern stan- dard does not approach that of Canada. Curling, however, is ex- tensively played on the southern lakes of New Zealand. Introduction of an empire winter games would undoubtedly give all these sports a great boost in Aus- | tralia and New Zealand. HALLING, KENT, ENGLAND -- (CP) -- Police have noted thieves no "longer use treacle to attach brown paper to a window before they smash it. Treacle is rationed, and thieves are employing cod liver oil and malt instead. - easily have been the flopperoo e sports included in the winter |. RAPID ROBERTS REVIEW ' ON SPORT vr The Cossa track and field meet held here Saturday could of the season. ; A rather bold and raw re- mark you say well it's true." Seems Ye officials in charge of the event were in far away places when things were to have begun. Further, the gentleman who wad supposed to have charge of records (a chap in Belleville, sec'y of thé - Cossa, too!) wasn't present, and he didn't phone down to Oshawa to check with Bill Simons, the local phys-ed man at the OCVI, on arrangements of any kind. It took a lot of last-minute hustle, by some pretty good- natured joes on the teaching staffs of the local collegiates to push things to a start and keep them moving. Ben Fallman, the Shamrock AC. founder and trainer, was on hand and his finger some- how found its way to the trigger of the track 'starting pistol. Tom Cotie, another phys-ed man (Public School type) was stationed near the finish line. An unknown teacher from some far away place, took a load of abuse from us as we both tried to assemble statistics and times. Things came out all right in the end, but . , , let's not let such a near miss occur again gentlemen. LJ v Quaint - remark - dept. -- Ab Walker, manager of the Osh- awa Junior Transporters came up with this one after his club" dropped that 7-1 affair in To- ronto's Eglinton Park last Fri- day night to Stephenson's Bruins. "Lose like that," he yelped "and break three bats on I don't know what in the process . . ." The diamond was still too wet to play the scheduled game Saturday night under the lights, but junior fans who are starving for some ball, can see their favorites at the Stadium tonight when the locals meet Yonge-Eglinton Motors . . . that is unless the rains come again. Our boys hold a decision or two over that club . . . but after that loss Friday . . . watch out, anything can hap- n. We see where Frank Hooper was playing for Bowmanville Roses . . . in a winning way + +1, on the night which the locals lost to Bruins. Will the Transporter man- agement be happy when Mac- Allister gets back to play firstbase and Hoop can get back behind the plate?. . . you bet! Mac should be returning soon too. That foot is coming along nicely. Dial 5-1127 MOTOR CITY (RADIO) CAB 9 PRINCE ST. TODAY'S eo CHECKLETS -- Baskethall.. news continues to creep into this space, This time however there is a timely angle to things. Remember George David- son who pitched so well for the Merchants last season? He played the floor sport for Lafayette College's Senior five. He was their top-scoring guard, and through his great play over the season, racked up a 196 points-per-game average! For this and other work, he was named on the All-Pennsylvania All-Star team. And further honors . . . he's listed among the top 20 players in the US. college ranks last year, and among the top seven guards! Quite a guy, eh? We noticed that Bill Taun- ton, the runner from Bradford High School, who made such a great showing here Saturday, ran the first mile of the two- mile event in 5:05, We know some milers who don't do the shorter strentch in that time. To prove it was no fluke, his time for the mile was 4:46.7 . . . and that over a puddle-strewn track! Taunton's first half-mile Jap in the two-mile was put down in 2:35.

Don Wallace, the Barrie welterweight, who defeated Canadian champion Frankie Fitz- erold of Montreal on the Lions Club show at Maple Leaf Gardens two weeks ago: Fight clubs in several cities were contacted before finding a welter- weight willing to meet him. The fighter in question, Mike Zaduk, one of the famous battling Zaduk brothers -- Mike, Pete and Bill--is- not oniy willing -- he is eager for the match. Mike Zaduk, known in boxing circles to be what they call a "rough" fighter, likes to thfow his opponents from a clinch, butt with the head when in close, and a few other little tricks that are frowned on by the Boxing Commission. He should give Wallace a very rugged battle. : { Oshawas' new heavyweight dis- | covery, the 180-pound steamshovel operator, Norm McDougal, is work- | ing out every night at "The Red Barn," north of sOhawa, for his | bout with Bill Coverly of Toronto. | Yesterday aiternoon he stopped a | | sparring partner in the second | | round with a smashing right to the | | jaw, | | Of special interest will be the |return of Manny Sorbora, 150- | pound Guelph boxer, who used to | fight in main bouts here, some five | |or six years ago.
