THE Yi PORT © , NAPSHOTS connie Canadian sports people are still "burning" over that business of Barbara Ann Scott having to give back her new car to the City of Ottawa. Now Mayor Lewis of Ottawa has written to Mackenzie King asking the Premier for a Government investigation of "the Olympic Games set-up in Canada." It's about time! Now we hear that those semi-professionals (sotto voice "Waddya mean semi'?") the Montreal Royals, have been invited to represent Canada in the hockey tournament of the Olympic Games, And also comes word that the Mimico citizenry, through their council, will make a "suitable presentation" to Ed. Sand- ford and Ed. Harrison, the two Mimico cousins whe helped St. Mike's win the Canadian Junior hockey championship and Memorial Cup. How can they accept any gift--if Barbara Ann couldn't? Or could it be that BEd. Sandford has already signed a pro contract? Harrison has and if Sandford is now an "in the open" professional, then the gifts would be in order. But the Montreal Royals have on their roster a player who formerly played professional. Mum! IE PENNANT.

MONTREAL ACE BLANKS LEAFS By The Associated Press In Toronto they're beginning to regard lefty Al Gerheauser of Montreal Royals as something of a menace. The 29-year-old pitcher who was cast off by Pittsburgh Pirates last year tossed his second shutout of the season--a five-hitter--against the Maple Leafs last might to give the Royals 'a 4-0 International League victory. Gerheauser, who has been with the New York Yankees chain, Philadelphia Phils and Pittsburgh, may be in for another chance at the majors from his hurling per- formances with the Royals to date. Jersey City Giants remained safely in the lead by turning back the Chiefs 5-2 at Syracuse in the opener of a three-game series. Norm Jaeger's three-bagger with the bases loaded in the eighth was the capper. Newark Bears kept right on their neighbors' heels by coming from behind to beat Baltimore 4-3 in the first night game at Newark. The Bears exploded im the ninth with five hits, climaxed by a single by Garrison to get home the winning run. The Orioles had built up a 3-0 lead on two runs in the opening frame and Howie Moss' 12th home run of the season in the third.

ONTARIO GOLFERS GET NEW SHAVERS FOR CLOSE SCORES Ontarlo golfers seem to be the dead-eye Dicks - of the Canadian courses so far this season, scoring the first two holes-in-one recorded by the Canadian Professional Golf- ers Association. Sgt. Det., Frank B. Craddock of York Mills and Mr. A. H. Berube of Fonthill are the first two golfers to be enrolled in the Packard Shaver Hole-in-One Club--and their sha- vers and diplomas are in the mail. Craddock holed out from the 16th tee at the St. Andrews Club, while Berube's hole-in-one was recorded at the Lookout Point Golf Club. This early start heralds a record harvest of "aces" this season--if golfers elsewhere pick up the On- tario lead. Baseball Personalities Ted Willlams, Red Sox--Lined nw JOHNNY GRECO IS FAVORED TONIGHT Montreal, May 16 (CP).--Jolth' [7-3 Johnny Greco will rule a 2 to 1 choice tonight when he climbs through the ropes to lay his Cana- dian welterweight title on the line against dusky Danny Webb, the | Dominion's lightweight king. Greco, a rushing, punishin fighter and veteran of 11 main in New York's Madison Square Garden, will hold a 10-pound pull in the weights in the bout sched- uled to go .12 rounds. Johnny will scale just under the 147-pound welter limit while Danny is expected to come in around 137. both boys finished up their training campaign, promoter Raoul Godbout said he expeéted a capac- ity crowd of more than 10,000 fans who will pay from $1.50 to a top of $7.50 for ringside pews. The all- time record gate of $50,000 set last summer when Greco wrested 'the welterweight crown from Dave Castilloux, is not expected to be surpassed. "Greco doesn't like to box 12 rounds," says Webb. "He'll get tired and I'll outbox him." But Johnny's manager Pit Aud- ette doesn't hold with that view. "Greco won't weaken tonight," says Audette, "because it won't go 12 rounds. Webb made a bad match for himself . , . and it won't go five heats." in- | double play, ou!

Well, Cissell didn't take to Major Lea- gue pitching and was replaced by Luke Appling, but the punch-line is that Bill is back now at Com- iskey Park in Chicago where he made his bigtime debut , , . At 44, Bill is an electrician, work- arclight towers which glare down on a new gen- eration of diamond hopefuls . and Cissell still keeps his hand in, playing for Chicago area semi-professional Clubs on Sun- day afternoons at $25 a game. .

Troops Guard Trains Taking Poles Back Home Herford, Germany, May 16 -- (Reuters) --British Rhine troops will be sent as guards on trains that will start this month taking back to Poland thousands of Polish dis- placed persons who have spent the last two years in UN.R.R.A. as- sembly camps. The reason for the guards, U.N. R.R.A. officials disclosed, is that thereis no other way in which auth- orities can ensure that the trains return empty--or they they return at all, When British trains have been sent into the Polish-annexed east- ern strip of Germany in the past they have often returned with sev- eral coaches missing. The general | view is that they were used to re- plenish the depleted fleet of rolling stock at the disposal of the post- war republic of Poland. In addition, British authorities are keeping a wary eye on thousands of refugees, former German inhabit- ants of the annexed provinces, whom the Poles are anxious to ex- pel and who are themselves only too anxious to be transferred to the comparative comfort and security of the British zone of Germany. The Poles' decision to allow Brit ish guards to accompany repatria- tion trains ends a deadlock that had been holding up the return of thousands of Polish displaced per= sons for weeks.
