Seeks More Money for Their 'Products' By WILLIAM H. DUMSDAY Canadian Press Staff Writer /\| Toronto, Dec. 30 -- (CP) -- New deals which would provide more in come from professional and amateur sources today were aims of the al- ready-prosperous Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, officers of which think it has grown into such a "big business" it should start shelling out worthwhile remuneration to its/ leaders. A three-day semi-annual meeting of the C.AH.A. ended Sunday at a closed session with the relations committee of the National Hockey League in which the Association sought a long-range agreement with the pros on better terms than the $20,000 annual payment received now for amateurs jumping to moneyed ranks. Want $190 Per Player Delegates also decided to extend negotiations with the Amateur Hoc- key Association of the United States --with hopes of. receiving a $100 fee for each player transferred across the border, an amount the American organization refused to pay. . Secretary George Dudley of Mid- land said the C.A.H.A. had develop- ed into such a major enterprise that the men who run such a business Should receive reasonable remunera~ ion. Following Sunday's' camera ses- sion, Dr. W. G. Hardy of Edmonton, president of the International Ice Hockey Association said N.H.L. and C.AH.A., committees had made of- fers "acceptable to each other" but details could not be released until confirmation was obtained from re- spective principals, Jim McCaffrey, manager of Ot- tawa Senators, who spoke unofficial- ly, said his club was not a party to an interim injunction against Buf- falo Bisons Hockey Club by the Ot- tawa Forum Company, operators of the Senators, when the meeting dealt with a protest from the NHL. that the injunction violated the agreement between the organiza- tions. Officers of the C.A.HA. considered the protest in closed session Sunday but issued no statement regarding the injunction by which two mem- bers of the Senators are detained at Fort Erie by U.S. immigration offi- cials. Next Thursday and Friday in New York, Dr. Hardy and George Panter of Gravenhurst, president of the Ontario Hockey Association, are scheduled to reopen negotiations with Tom Lockhart and other offi- cials of the AHA. of US, in rela- tion to player transfers. "A Test Case" Test case in the dispute will prob- ably revolve' around Johnny (Flash) Gordon, voted Winnipeg's "most valuable" juvenile last winter and now a member of New York Rovers, amateur farm club of New York Rangers, for which Lockhart is business manager. Jimmy Dunn of Winnipeg, presi- dent of the Manitoba Amateur Hoc- key Association, objected to Gor- don's transfer when the youngster's name was read out with 109 others Seeking transfers to play with Am- erican teams. Gordon was scheduled to line up with Winnipeg Rangers juniors this season and Dunn said the'M.A.H.A. had not been advised of the move until members read about Gordon playing for the Rovers in news- paper reports. Through the efforts of Interna- tional Student Service, 180 Greek women, students who had suffered the hardships of war were sent to the summer camp at Moni Pendeli for recuperation. Tried Bribery : a Charged with attempting a foot- ball "fix" in a pro championship game between the Chicago Bears and New York Giants is Alvin J. Paris, who has been booked on a4 charge of bribery and locked up in default of $25,000 bail. It is alleged that Paris offered Filchock and Hapes of the Giants $2,500 each plus a $1,000 bet apiece on the game if they would "lay down." Hapes was ruled ineligible for the game, but Filchock played and starred in de- feat. But they didn't say anything about the bribe offer until after game's end. New President Has Plan for Umpires | St. Petersburg, Fla. Dec. 30-- (AP)--Frank C, Lane, recently elected president of the American Association, said Friday that his first concern would be to im- prove conditions for his umpires. Lane, a former umpire himself, said he wanted to make umpiring a career and an attractive voca- tion for a young man, He advoca- ted giving the young umpire the same chance to advance through | the leagues as is given the ball player. The adoption of a retirement plan for major league umpires would be a step in this direction, Lane said, Expressing opposition ting big time players become um- pires without long training, he said, "if the young umpire sees the veteran ball player taking off the flannels and putting on the blue, he's going to seek a profes- sion with more room for ad- vancement." to let- | U.S. Davis Cup Team Makes It A Shutout Win By GAYLE TALBOT Melbourne, Dec. 30 -- (CP) -- Jack Kramer and Gardner Mulloy completed the rout of Australia's Davis Cup defenders today with smashing victories in the two final singles matches, thereby giving the United States a clean sweep of the series, Kramer, top-ranking member of the American team, battered the veteran John Bromwich into sub- mission in straight sets, 8-6, 6-4, 6-4, while Mulloy bowled over Diany Pails 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. In the five matches comprising the challenge round, which got uh- der way here last Thursday, the tn- vaders lost only two sets, giving a demonstration of superlative play and setting a mark that other coun- tries may find hard to match In many years. It was the first time since Great Britain blanked the United States in 1935 that the chal- lenge round had been decided by: a 5-0 score, Sir Norman Brookes, president of the Australian Lawn Tennis Asso- ciation, who presented the historic trophy to Walter Pate, 2on-playing American captain, paid high tribute to the victors who, he said, "have without doubt proved themselves the champion nation." "My team has done a good job -- better, perhaps than I hoped for," Pate smilingly replied. Although the last singles matches were little more than exhibitions, Inasmuch as the United States had clinched its title to the Cup last week by winning the first three matches, a crowd of 13,000 crowded into Kooyong Stadium for the finale and gave the Americans a thunder- ing ovation. In the opening matches last week, Ted Schroeder -- surprise singles selection by Pate -- whipped Brom- wich in five sets 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 0-6 and 6-3. Kramer trounced Pails, second-ranked Australian player 8-6, 6-2, 9-7, and Kramer and Schroeder then clinched the Cup for the United States by downing Bromwich and Adrian Quist in the doubles 8-6, 6-2, 9-7, Pate, Kramer, Schroeder and Krank Parker will start home by plane on Jan. 5, bringing with them the cup which the United States lost to Australia by a 3-2 score at the Merion Cricket Club at Haver- ford, Pa., in 1939. There have been 20 matches since then because of the war. Mulloy and William Talbert are entered in the South Australian championships starting at Adelaide Jan. 4.
