(Billy) Hewitt has shaken off the effects of a serious illness which his freinds at one time feared would end his active role in sport extend- ing over a 50-year span. In his time the Toronto sports- man has become one of the most respected authorities in the Domin- ion on hockey and horse racing. His place in sport is reflected in his long service as Secretary of the On- tario Hockey Association, Registrar- Treasurer of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and Chief Siweward of The Incorporated Can- adian Racing Associations. A slight, easy-going and immacu- lately dressed person, Mr. Hewitt is one of the last of the old guard who helped guide those sports to their present pinnacle of success, He has served ar O.H.A. Secretary for 45 years, as C.AH.A. Registrar-Treas- urer for 26 and as Chief Steward of the I.C.R.A. for 11. Although he is well-past the re- tiring age of most men -- a fact generally known -- Mr. Hewitt is reluctant to divulge his exact age. He was laid up for three months with a skin ailment that Doctors feared might affect his heart. He ave Lou Brissie his fifth victory of e year.

ZIP BROOKLIN AT RADIO PARK * Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By EDWARD PALMER Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, June 5--(CP)--Sports- writers, who direct most of their critical literary efforts toward players, occasionally unload their venom on the spectators. Recently Don (Sudbury Star) MacKintosh used an open letter to chastise the behavior of an on- looker at a Nickel Belt League baseball game. He said: "Today Harry Marchand, through your foolish caper, is in the hos- pital at Copper Cliff. You are per- mitted some consolation in knowing he spent a more or less comfort- heat, second recorded by the cam- era in England racing history. That was the rub. Under book- making rules, the backer of a horse involved in a dead heat loses half his take. Thus, the equivalent of a $6 win bet on Laurentis was worth only $3.50 ($2.50, or half the stake, plus a 2-5 return on the reduced stake) for a loss of $1.50. The Roc- oco return was $1.60 on a $2 stake, for a loss of 50 cents. Footnoté: The hookies' bonanza would have been impossible on a Canadian track. In the pari-mu- tuels, the backer would have re- trieved his original bet, plus ap- proximately half the odds against the horse. British hockey teams may send fewer talent scouts to Canada this summer. A sports gossip column in the London Star says it is expect- ed that only one coach--Alex Arch- er of Wembley Lions--is likely to make the trans-Atlantic trip. And Archer will be combining business with pleasure--he expects to do most of his talent spotting in his home town of Winnipeg. The Star's column said most Brit- ish coaches feel that summer is a poor time for signing hockey play- able night under the circum- stances." The writer then castigated the unidentified 'Mr. Brownsuit" for running out and intercepting a ers, The rinks are closed then and csouts have to rely on advice from Canadian spotters. That advice, the story adds, is not always good. Miss Dorothy Paget, prominent sportswoman and one of Britain's wealthiest women, suffered a double disappointment in a visit ot Kemp- ton race track. She was fined £10 ($40) for driving dangerously to the track--she told the court she had to give her trainer some instructions concerning a horse in the first race --and £5 for ignoring a traffic sign. The horse lost by a head. BRADSHAW SIGNS Montreal, June 5 (CP).--Casey Bradshaw, a top scorer with Tip Tops in a Toronto industrial lea- gue last winter, has been signed as playing coach of the Verdun Bells in the newly-formed Eastern Can- ada Senior Hockey League, club officials announced Friday night. CORNWALL TRIUMPHS a Ottawa, June 5 (CP).--Cornwall Flyers Friday night showed a well organized attack against Ottawa St. Ann's to score a 23-17 victory in a hard-fought interprovincial lacrosse match here. foul fly--an action which caused a collision and cost the player face and leg injuries. Don concluded on a note of in- struction to all tempted to repeat Mr, Brownsuit's mistake. "It is just plain unfair to the athletes .on the field to have foolish people like yourself creating hazards." Pennell, The Worry Wart Nominated by Rex (Guelph Mer- cury) MacLeod for the position of "Chief Worrler" in the Ontario Inter-County Baseball League, is Larry Pennell, boss man of the Brantford Red Sox. Although his team walloped Guelph Maple Leafs 12-2 in a fix- ture last week, Pennell is quoted as saying: "We blew a lead like this before and we can do it again." The crucial moment at which this remark was made happened to be at the beginning of the ninth in- | ning. Expensive Import A letter from a student in the United States was received in the Galt district offering the, lad's services for a tryout with a senior baseball club, writes Laurie (Galt Reporter) Brain, This is all he wanted: Four hundred dollars for signing; $50 fare; a $40-a-week job in the personnel department of a local | firm; his room and board; a per- centage of the gate receipts; and a bonus if the team should get into the playoffs."
