August 1--(CP) --If rumors are true, Brandon Wheat Kings, a respected name in Manitoba puck circles, may be re- vived next winter in a provincial senior hockey league. Mayor Frank T. Williamson, chairman of the civic rink committee controlling the city-owned arena, says "Brandon will definitely have hockey--senior or junior, or maybe both, this com- ing season," Brandon Elks, 1947 western junipr finalists will definitely be cam- next winter and with ar- tificial ice expected to be installed by November and seating in the arena increased to 5,000, a senior team may operate as well.

Although the Yankees slacked off a trifle from the pace they held during their 19-game win string, they have opened up a 12-game margin on the defending Boston Red Sox. Chief interest in the American League now centres around the scrap for second place. Brooks Sweep Three Straight In sweeping three straight from St. Louis at Sportsman's Park, the third by a 2-1 margin yesterday, the Dodgers left the champs hang- ing on the ropes.

They were tied at 1-1 going to the ninth when Pee Wee Reese tripled to score Bruce Edwards with the winning run. New York Giants also helped the Dodgers build up their lead by bowing to Cincinnati 8-7. The de- feat left the Giants 10 full games back of the Brooks. Grady Hat- ton's three-run homer in the eighth turned the tide after earlier clouts by Johnny Mize and Walk- er Cooper, each with two on had given the Giants the edge. It was No. 31 for Mize, the leader, and No. 24 for Cooper. Phillies Shut Out Cubs Dutch Leonard posted his 12th victory for Ben Chapman's Phil- lies, a 3-0 five-hit shutout over Chicago Cubs. Rain washed out the Boston at Pittsburgh game and "threatening weather" postponed the Detroit at New York game although the sun shone most of the afternoon on the Yankee Stadium. Cleveland swept its three-game set from Boston Red Sox 5-4, on homers by Manager Lou Boudreau and Joe Gordon. Bob Savage stifled a last-inning spurt by Chicago to save Philadel- phia's Bill Dietrich his fourth vic- tory over Ed Lopat 3-2. Mickey Haefner continued his ef- ficient pitching, scattering five St. Louis hits for a 4-1 Washington triumph. During the last 27 in- nings he has allowed only two runs and 13 hits.

Not Sure About Empire Games cl 'Toronto, Aug. 1--(CP)--Canadian |, sports officials "haven't given any serious thought" to the possibility of the 1950 British Empire Games being held in this country, Profes- sor N. C, Hart of London, Ont. first vice president of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, said here yesterday. , "hargest Selection In Oshawa! By WALTER L. JOHNS The "Sockeess" of the New York Giants in propelling home run balls out of the park this summer comes a few years tbo late. The Giants, who hit 137 circuit smashes in their first 82 games for a terrific pace, are belting away at the major league record of 182 set by the Yanks in 1936 without their all-time home run king in the line-up. Mel Ott, the National league's home run king with 511 smashes in 21 years, now is on the bench, managing the club. If he could be in there, a few years younger, the Giants final total probably would be well aver 200: Coincidentally, the record home run production of the Yanks, in 1936. was turned out in a year in which the Yankees' all-time home run king, Babe Ruth, didn't play. Ruth retired after the 1935 season with Boston. The "murderous" Yanks of '36, however, had some pretty fair sluggers on the roster, with Lou Gehrig the top man. Lou hit 49 homers to lead the league and the bulk of the Yanks 182 total was made up by Rookie Joe DiMaggio, with 29; Bill Dickie, 22; George Selkirk 18; Frank Crosetti, 15; Tony | four-base smacks; Lazzeri, 14 and Red Rolfe, 10. Two of the grand performers, Gehrig and Lazzeri, are dead. Only Croset- ti, as a coach, and DiMagglo, as a player, are still with the club. Of the New York Giants' cast Johnny. Mize, the big first-sacker who has 31 circuit smashes to his credit, leads the way. Others who are giving the Giants the new name of "Kings of Klout" are Willard Marshall, the outfielder, who had 27 Walker Cooper, the $175,000 catcher, who has pro- pelled $20; Bobby Thompson. the rookie outfielder, with 17 round-trip- pers, and Bill Rigney, the shortstop, who has accounted for 13. The Giants smashed 85 homers in their first 61 games and added 42 mare in their next 21 games to step up the pace. With 72 games to go the slugging Gotham gang would have to belt 55 homers, less than a homer-a-day pace. At the mo- ment, the Giants are averaging three homers every two games. Best previous mark hung up by the heavy artillery of the Giants is 143, set in 1930. The top Na- tional league record is 171, made by the Chicago Cubs in 1930. While injuries, such as the one which hit Mize July 22, could cut into the club's homer production, it appears almost a certaintiy that the team will crack some records or at least come close to doing the same. Leading the league in homers is nothing new for the slugging New Yorkers. The Giants have done it no less than 21 times and are a shoo-in- to add the 22nd this season. Mize, who had 206 home runs to his credit prior to this season, was in the service for three years or his total would be nearing the 300 mark. In his first season in the majors, with St. Louis in 1986, he hit 19 four-baggers and then reach- ed a high of 43 with the Cards in| 1940. In his two previous seasons with the Giants Mize smashed 26 | homers in 1942 and 22 last year. | Marshall also. a war vet who hits 'em lefthanded, has spent two | batter and comes from the Pacific seasons with the Giants but he has hit more homers this year than he | did in both seasons combined. Con- ing up from Atlanta in 1941 Mar- shall pounded out -11 homers in 1942 and last year, after three years in any one season before and that | total was made with Rogers, Ark. in the service, he hit 13 for the Giants. His best year, prior to this season, was with Atlanta in 1941 when he collected 21 cushion-clean- | ing clouts. | Thompson, born in Glasgow, Scot- land, in 1923, developed his base- NEW YORK FANS ARE GETTING PLENTY OF BASEBALL'S BIG THRILLS -- HOME-RUN BLOWS Johuny Mize | hitting talents on the sand lots of Staten Island, New York, and made the jump from minors te Polo Grounds in two-seasons. He started as a professional ball player with Rocky Mount in 1942, then went into the army for three years and when he came out of the service he was sent to Jersey City. He knocked 26 homers for Jersey City last year to break the club record. He's a righthanded batter. Rigney, originally bought up by the Giants for his flashy fielding, never was much of a hitter and his poor eyesight didn't help. His best previous /mark was three home runs in 110 games with the Giants last season, when he was playing his rockie year after three years in the service. Rigney is a right-handed Coast league. | Cooper, one-half of the brother | battery of Mort and Walker Coop- runited with the Giants, er. now never hit more than 14 home runs back in 1935.

Invariably, this is the first question asked by those who know about my work with the former P.G.A. champion. To those who do not know about the Inter- locking Grip it seems incredulous that any player, much less a top ranking pro, would adopt and stick to such a grip. Well, a lot of people adopted the automobile and they are still using it. No, I'm not trying to be funny. This is a comparison that holds all '| the way through. Any other kind of hold on a golf club by. comparison with the Interlocking is -no better than the horse and buggy alongside of the automobile. At first, the main thing that kept us from taking to automobiles was prejudice Horn of ignorance about the new vehicle. In bucking the prejudice against the Interlocking Grip I used to state THAT. INTERLOCKING GRIP that there was practically no chance for any player, having used the grip for a month, to give it up. This has been proved 100 per cent through the years by all kinds of players from Picard down to beginners. Jack Grout, now pra at the Har- risburg Golf Club, took to interlock- ing when he was assistant. to Henry Picard at Hershey, Pa. Like Picard, Grout urges his pupils to interlock and he has a record number of his club members converted to the grip. In a membership where the single player who used the Interlocking hold was considered eccentric, there are now more than 50 using it, lik- ing it and benefitting by it. As shown in the above picture of Grout's hands, interlocking gives both hands every chance to work efs ficiently throughout the swing. When you are ready to minimize your hand troubles, take to inter- locking properly and stick to it, New Yorker Sets New Power Boat Record Graverhurst, Ont., Aug. 1--(CP) --A Canadian record was establish- ed here yesterday when Jack Coop- er, 78-year+<old New Ycrker, guided his trim 135-cubic inch speedboat around a five mile triangular course at an average speed of 53.8 miles an hour. : Cooper won the three heats of the 135 class in one of a series of Regatta staged by the American Power Boat Association. Other meets are scheduled for Barrie Picton and Belleville in the next 10 days. The meet was held under ideal weather conditicns and the holi- daying spectaters saw many thrill- ing finishes. Bob Bogie and Ted Hanley were tied with 935 points each after three heats in the first division of 225 class. SCANDINAVIAN ORIGIN Manual training as a school sub- ject originated in Finland in 1816.

The Chiefs clicked for five double plays behind Fox who went all the way in search of his ninth straight victory. John Thompson, who allowed but one hit in the last five innings after replacing Luke (Hot Potato) Hamlin, received credit for the triumph, Hamlin was forced to leave when hit on the foot by a pitched ball thrown by Fox. In.the 13th, Frankie Drews' error gave Toronto a lift. Then a scratch hit and a walk loaded the bases for Chapman's blow, which bounced over Al Rubeling's glove.
