About the only thing the three that sportsmanship has anything cases have in common is that the victims are players of proven stature. Two have been named most valuable in their leagues in the past and the third is a top candidate for the award this sea- son. { Rosen, once the terror of the Cleveland offence, has been rob-| bed of his effectiveness by a suc- cession of injuries and drew boos from some of the faithful for his decreasing output at the plate and increasing slowness afield. Williams provoked jeers in Fen- way Park with his eloquent pub- lic expression of contempt for sports writers who had attacked him in their columns.

The implication is that the customers provide the players' salary and are entitled to sound off. Accepting their view of them- selves as investors in an athletic enterprise, one can only conclude that the business sense of the members of the anvil chorus is even worse than their temper. Williams and Newcombe are expensive employees. Break- ing down their morale is unlikely to increase their value to the firm. Some of the same fans com- plain they're paying too much for their tickets. They wouldn't annoy too many of their neighbors if they decided to save their money and stay home. stopped 64 of 66 shots directed at him, Third in the ratings is Jacques leach other in the A playoffs, |ule with a 16-0 whitewash of Tor- te ranks close to when the Yankees' Yogi reached ilton Tiger-Cat Bees, who each|, : A r out of the strike zone to hit! posted 10 victories, two losses and ended fifth and East York, 3-9, the Ontario Rugby| A | Football Union Intermediate rh |sometimes gives rise to soul-| The practice is not confined to/son in a tie.

Each year the defending Stanley Cup champions oppose the league's all-stars in a pre-season engagement. For the first time in three seasons the Wings were not the stars' opposition this year. Montreal Canadiens, who ended Detroit's two-year championship streak last spring, took on the all- stars Oct. 9 and battled to a 1-1 draw. "In the past when we had to build a team for the all-star game we had to step on it," Adams says. 'This season that pressure was off and we were able to an-|1 alyze, juggle and experiment a great deal more than in other years."

Worsley racked up a shutout against Chicago Black Hawks in his first outing but Red Wing snipers put two pucks behind him up a shutout in his first game of the season and was then beaten twice by Boston Bruins. Bruins won the game 3-1 but their final goal was scored into an empty net after Plante had been removed. Plante kicked out 59 of 61 shots for a .967 average. Al Rollins of the Hawks let in| seven of 90 shots for a 922 aver- age. Terry Sawchuk, worst enemy to opposing forwards a few sea- sons ago when he was with De- troit, is fifth with a .918 average. He stopped 89 of 97 shots. In last spot is Ed Chadwick, youthful rookie of Toronto Maple Leafs, with a record of 63 stops in 70 tries and an even .900 aver- age, The Leaf team has actually been scored upon eight times but Chadwick was removed in favor of an extra forward and a goal was scored while he was on the rebuilt in favor of youth.
