By DOUG GREEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Edmonton, Jan, 6--(CP)--Time was when the enthusiasm displayed by home town fans dver the per- formance of Edmonton Flyers of the Westérn Canada Senior Hockey League was anything but hearten- ing. The fact that Flyers put in =a long stretch in the cellar of the five-team loop brought forth criti- cism from the ¢ity's Sports Editors and indignant letters from faithful followers who objected to sitting in the arena game after .game only to watch their club go down to defeat. Things have changed. Flyers' im- proved performances have boosted them to third place. They're draw- ing crowds of around 6,000--and perhaps the surest evidence of their popularity has been the appearance of ticket scalping, admittedly on a small scale. It came to light in a recent news- paper advertisement which said, "Hockey tickets wanted for game tonight. Bonus, What offers?" The advertiser didn't have long to wait, A ticket holder handed over four reserved seats, cheerfully . ac cepted an extra dollar for his trou- ble, Both parties overlooked a catch in the deal. Such a transaction just isn't legal. The buyer--had he been nabbed--migh have hit to pay $200 for his tickets rather than $5. For the Alberta Amusement Act provides that anyone paying more for tickets than is charged by the operator of an "amusement place" may be fined not less than $25 and costs or more than $200 and for the caper. les E. Wilson, managing Di- e Edjnonton Exhibition arena and--through its - Hockey Committee, the Flyers--said there was nothing in the contract signed by an option holder for seats at games which coyld effect cancella- tion of the option of selling the ticket at a profit. "There probably should be a clause covering that," he observed. Options can be cancelled only through failure to pick up tickets by 1 p.m. on the days of scheduled games. Wembley Show Not For Olympics " Pair--Says AFSA With her eyes on Olympic figures skating laurels, red-haired Suzanne Morrow of this city left yesterday for Zurich, Switzerland. A sched- uled exhibition stop at London's Weuiley Stadium seemed improb- e, As the 17-year-old North Ameri- can -doubles champion boarded a plane with her partner, 21-year-old Wally Distelmeyer of ' Kitchener, Ont, Wembley officials announced that the Amateur Figure Skating Association of Canada has refused to sanction the exhibition, set for Thursday. The officials said no reason had been given for the AFSA's refusal. No one was more surprised by the announcement than W. E, Rough- ton of Montreal, president of the association. Roughton sald he had no knowledge of the association re. fusing to allow the young pair, cho- Armor é So Plate Next, , right halfback of the Philadelphia Eagles, is shown carrying the ball for an eight-yard gain after taking a pass from Van Buren in the third quarter of a decisive game between the Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers for the eastern division title of the U.S. National Football league, Bill Moore (72), of the Steelers, comes in at right to stop Craft.

Bill McComb added two tallies and Norm Tustin, Ron Wilson and Baker completed the Flyer total, while Mike Marduzzi, Ed Bush and | Wendell Jamieson were the Phila- | delphia marksmen, ST Racing Cleanup Now 2 Years Old New York, Jan, 7--(AP)--On Jan, 15 it will be just two years since the United States horse racing industry, suffering from a bad case of the Jitters, hired Spencer Drayton away from the Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation and commanded him to give the Sport of Kings a thorough scrubbing. Today the ex-sleuth is entitled to look back upon 24 months of solid achievement, and to contemplate a coming season in which the integri- ty of racing will be less open to question than ever before in its his- tory, Under Drayton's driving insist- | ence, more than 25,000 fingerprints | of racing folk now are on file in| hig office here. He figures he has | only about 10,000 more to go. A to- tal of 7,000 thoroughbreds had iden- | tifying numbers tatooed on their | lips last year, and Drayton expects to complete the job in 1948. "The fingerprints are a great de- terrent to the criminal element," he sald, "Information of criminal re- cords supplied by us has enabled owners of stables to weed out many undesirables, Also, if a man with a record knows he will be fingerprint ed he is not likely to look for a job in racing."

The field events look a little easier, especially if Bob Fitch decides to compete. Fitch, an amateur coach, hasn't made up his mind yet . . .
