SPORT FROM BRITAIN Fix Charges Harm Soccer Reputation LONDON (CP) -- Gambling and greed are sullying the pris- tine reputation of British -soc- cer players. Last August three i? players were for life after accepting bribes. As this sea- eon draws to a close, nine more, stars are accused by the Sun- da ynewspaper, The People, having thrown a game for money in 1962, The newspaper promises to name at least 19 other profes- sional footballers who are cor- rupt. As police moved in to investi- gate the charges, 100 members of the Professional Footballers' fe tener issued a pledge to fight b They al ae castigated some players for compounding their guilt by selling sensational sto- 'Ties to the press. The way some critics see it, the nasty smell in soccer does not end with smail-time bribery. A major blight on big-time soc- cer, they say, is the curse of ticket scalping. The scalpers, often ger ye with the tacit consent of club managements, buy their tickets for sale on the black market from players who are issued blocks of seats in advance. SALARIES HIGHER The number of tickets play- ers are allowed to buy for im- portant matches is never re- vealed, although clubs stoutly protest that the number is lim- ited. "This sewer system has d such a loath grip on the game that black mar- keteers give every appearance of being on the permanent staff of famous clubs," writes Daily Express columnist Desmond Hackett. : Soccer once prided itself on being as clean as a referee's whistke and almost as gentle- manly as cricket. But in the last few years the game has become rougher and dirtier in more ways than one.

Men who once earned £20 a week now top £100 and drive around in Jaguars. Some grab at the chance to garner a few extra pounds to help pay for the hig' life. But another important factor is the recent introduction of fixed - odds betting on soccer matches. This makes it possible for crooked gamblers to score a coup by "fixing" three or more games, Bookmakers set odds of 6 to 1 for five correct forecasts, 10 to 1 for six fore- casts and so on. POOLS LOSE BUSINESS The older, almost ritualistic method "Britons. use to bet on soccer is through: the famed "football pools."' It is almost impossible to fix a pools result because winnings depend on a whole series of correct predic- tions, the number of winners and the size of the pool, Introduced in 1960, fixed-odds betting had a turnover of £60,- |000,000 last year while betting Sion the pools dropped to £85,- 4/900,000 from £100,000,000, Part of the attraction was that book- makers offering fixed odds paid 6| no tax while the pools promoters 6 er out a 33 1-3-per-cent ts April the government |imposing a tax of 25 per cent on both forms of soccer betting.

Bob Gallagher, who recently won the Toronto :City Major Singles title, was again in top form, in fact he was even better -- he was in the Toronto roll- The Cobourg tournament is conducted on a slightly differ- ent plan than any other event, as each contestant rolls a 10- game block, with the high seven games being recorded. In other words, the three low scores of each contestant are discarded and the bowler finishing with the highest pin-fall for 7 games is declared the winner. Gallagher's best were, 294, 288, 278, 277, 268, 257. and 386 for a total of 2048 which is an average of 292 per game and this gives him the fourth prize.

It will be years before the hockey world passes final judg- ment on New York Ranger and Toronto Maple Leaf sharpies who arranged the big Andy Bathgate deal but Stanley Cup statistics provide delectable fod- der for amateur experts who like to make quick decisions. Before the springtime fancy of sports followers turn to thoughts of fishing and golf, a big question being batted around is: Would the cup be in Toronto today if Bathgate and present, that he expected Bath- gate- 31, and McKenney, 29, to help the Leafs win their third straight cup. General manager Muzz Patrick of New York said his club brought the future, thatlin, all five players acquired from the Leafs would be skating: years after Bathgate and Mc- Kenney had quit. If Punch for the present was)* what the Leafs were looking for they found it. In the last month of the schedule, McKenney was the surprise package, firing nine goals and picking up three as- sists.

"T wouldn't have made the trade if I didn't think it would help," he said, "Bathgate and McKenney have paid off, but don't forget Duffy and Nevin were good playoff players too." After Saturday's big goal in the deciding. game, Bathgate said: "I'm just thankful to he here. It's not only the first time I've ever been on a Stanley Cup winner, it's the first time I've ever been in the final. I've been with the Rangers, you know."
