Tourna- ment or the Motor City Alleys' own Tournament, the gals can hang up the old shoes 'til next Fall. The play- offs are over, and mighty exciting they were too. Victory Billiards took the lead with top score for the first game. n the second fixture, Karn's pulled up to within 23 pins of the Billiards sexette, and put them really behind the eight ball, With the chips down, Karn's produced a few knock-out drops and went sailing right on through for high total pine, Coca Cola's put up a valiant fight, but were just good enough on the night's play to make it interesting. Much to their chagrin, the Hayden Macdonald kids failed to do even that. They weren't able to click at all until the last stanza. The results of each team's play were as follows: Karn's--1054, 1164, 1225; to- tal 3443. Victory Billiards: 1119, 1122, 1127; total 3368. Coca Cola's: 927, 1102, 1103; total 3132. Hayden Macdonald: 989, 893 1102; total 2084. Olive Frise, captain of Karn's, paced her teams to their fine finish. She rolled a 771 triple (319). Emma Love- lock, also of Xarn's, was next high with 760 (349). Marg. Healey of Victory Billiards showed nice control, as she rolled her way to 755. Cis. Rockert, an- other Karn member came up with 702, and but for a lot of tough breaks on pretty clean hits in her last game, might have shown an 800. Bea. Ross of Victory Billiards rolled three consistent games for a 69° triple. Glad. Bickle of | Coca Cola's with 683 was the only | other bowler to hit the 650 mark. | So that winds things up for the 'A" | bowlers. The only remaining feature . . . don't forget | Monday, May 3rd, at the Hotel Gen- | osha at 6:30 p.m. "B" League | On the top floor of the emporium, | Burns' Shoes,' who have been the out- | standing team this season, jumped in- to an early lead with a 1121 score in the first game, which was 170 pins up on their 'nearest competitor, Dixon's | Coal. After the second game was over, Burns' had bettered their 'lead to 213 pins. However in the final game, Dix- on's outrolled them by 151, which must have made the Burns' kids do a little { "shaking in their shoes," if puns are | allowed. With thelr captain apparently | going through a session of play-off | jitters, the Saywell squad took over | third spot, and left the Oshawa Dairy | entry still looking for a little cream. Team scores were as follows: Burns' Shoes, 1121, 972, 937, total 3030. Dixon's Coal, 951. 929, 1088, total 2068. Say- well's. 912, 939, 1027, total 2878. Osh- awa Dairy, 939 924, 920, total 2783.

And so we say "adlos" to another successful bowling season. See you all next Fall, with (we hope) at least a new pair of laces. Spicy Bits From Other Sports ( Cols. By WILLIAM IVENS Canadian Press Staff Writer Winnipeg, April 21--(CP)-- The recent move of the Canadian Ama- |teur Hockey Association in ruling [that the final game of the Western {Junior hockey/ playoff be at Toron- |to Maple Leaf Gardens brought nu- merous charges of "commercial- lism" from western sports scribes. | Maurice (Winnipeg Free Press) Smith commented: "The only con- clusion we can draw is that the C. AHA. will stop at nothing to make a few extra bucks." Maurice noted that Hamilton Tigers, Eastern Senior finalists with Ottawa Senators, will not get a single game on home ice. He quot- ed Tiger Coach George Redding as saying "It's very unfair that Tigers {have to play all of their games {away from home because the C.A. {H.A. feels that the Hamilton rink |is not big enough . ... If the C.A, , |H.AA, weren't such a money-grab- {bing organizatoin Hamilton fans |would have a chance to see the |team that has carried their colors into three successive Allan Cup semi-finals." Smith said Hamilton had sought {at least one home game, in their | best-of-three' series for their On- |tario_ title with Renfrew Lions, but authorities reportedly said = they couldn't make it a best-of-five 'ser- ies and give Hamilton a game be- cause there wasn't time . . . Then the Tigers had to lay-off 12 days waiting for the Senators to qualify. ?| He concluded: "Great boys these |C.A.-H.A. moguls." | By ALEX J. MORRISON "Have you seen this fellow Fur- gol hit a ball?" What do you think of his form?" "Isn't it marvellous the way he scores in spite of his short left arm?" Such are the questions and cont- ments thrown at me since Ed Furgol has been prominent in tour- nament play. Many of my pupils were mighty persistent in their demands for my 'explanation of Furgol's success. I knew that, in- jured arm or no, he could not hit the ball as well or score as low as he does without closely approxi- mating the correct swing. I said as much to several advanced stu- dents of the game. My statements were not very convincing even to the friends who wanted to believe me. During the 1948 Los Angeles Open, I made several action pic- tures of Furgol's swing. One of these, shown above, gives a good ~ecord of his form. You can judge se correctness of his hitting po- sitions of players like Byron Nel- son or Ben Hogan, If you do not have access to action pictures of these players in the same stage of their swings I'm sure you are familiar enough with the correct alignment to make an enlighten- ing comparison. She best * check on Furgol's alignment is made by covering his left arm so that only this part of his frame cannot be seen. By carefully noting the positions of his head, feet, bent right arm and leg as well as the general curve of his whole body I'm sure you will concede that his general form is surprisingly close to that of any top ranking pro. More important his close ap- proximation of correct form and Ed Furgol, Pontiac, Mich., pro, rates high among tournament money winners. Despite an injured left arm he shows better form than most pros. His case proves that good form pays off in the long run. resulting success demonstrate that it would be to the advantage of any person physically handicap- ped to strive for normal positions rather than positions suiting. the handicap. t his tail in the lawn mower: L Big League Baseball Yesterday By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer About the only thing missing in yesterday's and Monday's major league opening games was a no- hitter. Practically everything else happened. As to the results themselves, Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals got off on the, right foot for their expected first place battle in the National League. Boston Red Sox, of course, were left at the post, while New York Yankees stumbled badly after their auspicious debut. Detroit and Cleveland, who are expected to challenge the supremacy of the Yankees and Red Sox in the Am- erican league, both came through with flying colors. Bums Nudge Giants Brooklyn sneaked past the Giants 7-6 in New York; the Cards shut out Cincinnati 4-0 in St. Louis Washington gained revenge for its Monday, thrashing the world champions 9-1; Detroit defeated the White Sox in Chicago 5-2 and the Indians sent a record inaugural crowd of 73,163 home happy with a 4-0 triumph ower St. Louis Browns. In other games, Philadelphia Phillies whipped Boston Braves 3-1 and Pittsburgh scored a 3-2 win over Chicago Cubs. The Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics were idle. Here are some of the opening day highlights: Eighteen home runs were belted yesterday and Monday--not an un- usual number, but look what some of them produced. ' Three Homers Stan Spence, Vern Stephens and Bobby Doerr hit theirs in succes- sion' in one inning--a record tying feat--but the Red Sox lost anyway. George Vico, rookie first base- man of the Tigers, smacked one-- on the first pitch served him in his first major league game. Tommy McBride of the Senators slammed one--with the bases load- ed in the first inning. * Mike Tresh of the White Sox hit one--his first since 1940, Three rookies--Hank Sauer of the Reds, Romanus Basgall of the Pirates and Vico--hit homers. Two pitchers--Allie Reynolds of the Yankees and Rip Swell of the Pirates--joined the homer brigade. Many Transfers In addition to Spence and Steph- ens, recent additions to the Red Sox Eddie Miller and Billy Cox celebrated their transfers to mew clubs. Each belted one out of the park. Miller, the former Redleg, put the Phils ahead with his hom- er. Cox provided the winning margin with his two-run drive. Four teams started the season under new management--and each got licked the first day. The dis- appointed pilots were Joe Me- Carthy, Bed a Zack Taylor, rowns; Joe Kuhel, Senators an Billy Meyer, Pirates. iis Such pitching standbys as Bobby Feller of Cleveland Hal Newhous- er of Detroit and Ewell Blackwell of Cincinnati came through with victories. Old Men Celebrate. Two gregbeards--Rip Sewell of Pittsburgh, Who will celebrate his 40th birthday next month, and Dutch Leonard, 38 - year - old knuckleballer--got opening day as-~ signments and made good.

They were Adrian Conan Doyle, son of the late author, and Capt. Douglas Ash, an artist, who for months have been reliving in speech, deed and dress the days of Crecy. and Agincourt. Their purpose: to launch a "back to medievalism" movement in sport. Their duel ended--no blood wus shed--Doyle, whose father's works included "The White Company", a tale of the Hundred Years' War, and Ash relaxed to tell reporters their views, "Sire, this is no merry joke," said the six-foot Doyle, unhelming him- self, "Come quaff a stoup of ale Louisiana, which was at first believed to be appendicitis. and tarry awhile, for I am battle weary." Pointing to the perspiring cap- thin, he added: "This oaf has cut me all over this day." Ash bowed with a sweep of his gauntletted arm. "The trouble with people today," he elucidated, "is that they are losing all their individualism and chivalry. We want to change that. "Instead of sportsmen we have beccme a nation of sports-watch- ers." "He's dead right," chimed in Doyle. "There's no sport in kick- ing a leather pudding around a field. This is the only true sport." He grabbed for his 10-foot-long sword. ; Readjusting his visor, Ash went clanging across th¥ lawn after him, roaring: "By my two-handed sword I will spill thy knave's blood." 1 i Two racehorses were killed in an unusual accident during steeple- chasing at Fontwell Park. Mountain Path fell at the second fence, regained his feet and, rider- less, pursued the field. At a junc- tion in the track he turned around and ran back the way he had come, directly into the path of the other borses making their second circuit. | He crashed head-on into Reveal | who died of his injuries. Mountain Path was destroyed. No jockeys were seriously .injured. International League Action New York, April 21--(AP)-- The triple "A" International League opens its 65th season tomorrow with another tight pennant race expected in many quarters. Most of the eight teams are pret- ty well set in every department ex- cept pitching and it looks like the batters will d%ninate the early stages of the pennant scramble. All teams swing into action to- morrow with four clubs fromthe northern section of the loop invad- ing the lair of southern section. Rochester is at Syracuse, Toron- to at Jersey City, Buffalo at Balti- more and Montreal at Newark. The northern teams will stop at each southern park before staging their own openers May 3. Among rookies who will be watch- ed closely by major league scouts are outfielders Ralpl™meCountry) Brown of Newark, Johnny Groth of Buffalo, Bill Martin of Baltimore and first sacker Steve Bilko of Ro- chester. The three flyhawks are bringing impressive batting marks freen the lower minors and all three can carry the mail. Bilko is described in many circles as a '"righthanded Johnny Mize." Only 19 years old, he belted 30 homers and batted .338 for Win- ston Salem of the Carolina League last year. The opening day schedule with probable pitchers in parentheses: Rochester (Surkont) at Syracuse (Howell). Toronto (Hamlin at Jersey City (Krauyg). Buffalo (Hausmann) more (Wittig).

New York, April 21--(AP)--The "new" Leo Durocher appeared at the Polo Grounds for his first ma- jor league game since 1946 at about noon yesterday. . .Nobody could see much change from the "old" Leo. , . seated on the bench, flanked by a group of reporters, Durocher chat= tered and wriggled at a lively clip as he watched his Dodgers take batting practice. . ."and then Di- Maggio hit a pop fly--I'd call it a pop fly for him, about 345 feet," he was. saying. Then he interrupted himself: "Hey, look at that, It was Snider. It's going against the screen in cen= tre field.". . It was a terrific belt and Duke Snider clutched his bat as he ran out onto the field and then turned toward the bench... "Look at him," Leo grinned "He's going to put it in his pants leg. He wants to keep that one.". . He was just about right. Snider came to the bench and demanded a piece of adhesive tape to mark the bat "right now." As the Giants came out, the scribes abandoned Mel Ott, who was visibly worrying about the doctor's report on Buddy Kerr's dizzy spells and congregated around Bobo Newson. ..As talkative as ever, Bobo was telling them he was "faster than I've been in about four years". . ."Well, are you going to win 13 this year, Bobo?' someone asked. . .Newsom cocked his head and winked in the other direction. "I think I'll win a few. Weve got & . good hitting club." he replied. "Anybody who can't win with' this club ought to pay ao get into the park," retorted the writer. .
