FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Spicy Bits : From Other Sports Cols. By WALLY IZSAK Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Sept. 17--(CP)-- It's an old, old story that practically every small city and town in Canada has worried over at one time or another --the yearly departure of top-notch Junior hockey talent to larger and more prosperous points. "How much longer do we let it go on?" asks Britt (North Bay Nug- get) Jessup. "How are we ever going to revive Junior hockey if every fall ti - cream of the district crop heads for Southern Ontario." Jessup says nobody wants to see a club composed of 100 per cent im. ports, Half the appeal of a good Junior club lies in the fact that they are home-brews. But nobody seems to want to do anything to keep them at home, : Good junior puck-chasers like Whit Mousseau, Vince Lecour and Joe LaFrance have quit the gateway city in past years. This season an- other flock will head south to the happier hunting grounds of the On- tario Hockey Association. Of course, says Jessup, there's no point in these youngsters staying at home unless something is done "0 improve their hockey education, He adds that in the O.H.A. they are given schooling, besides hockey, pro- viding they are still of school age. Too Early, Too Hot This crowding of football into summer may be all right for some fans, but others seem to feel that it's a bit too early to see the heav- ily.padded gridiron Giants in scrim- mage. Mike (Kingston Whig-Standard) Rodden criticizes, the Big Four league for opening its season sO on. hr election to open the Big Four race in summer weather, officials in charge seem to have made a grave error, the paving public not being too eager to see weary players in- jured in the torrid going." Wearable Shoes ' @ For Relaxed Golf "Consider the ant, my boy, study its ways," said Uncle Jim. When given this advice I was quite young and much inclined to regard Uncle Jim as a mental case. However, the wisdom of his words has been demonstrated through the years. Fighting to keep our house free from the pests we have learned that they don't overlook a single thing. Many years of teaching golf to an incalculable number of pupils prove there is no limit to the es- sentials a golfer can overlook. Yes, every golfer would do well to emu- late the ant as an observer. Recently I played 18 holes with a golfer who wore faulty golf shoes. The shoes hurt his feet before we we had gone four holes. The pain felt in his lower extremities soon handicapped the movements of other parts of his anatomy, particularly his hands. His swing became hurried and rough. His shots suffered in both power and accuracy. He was aware only of the pains in his feet. In watching for the things he might do to help himself I noticed that he was careless about where ' he placed his feet on the tee. When teeing up his ball he invariably selected a spot that was all right for the ball, but all wrong for his feet. Divot holes, patches of bare hard ground or rocks added punishment to his feet. Likewise, they served to put him off balance and greatly restrict the movements of his feet and legs. : It was not until we reached the 16th tee that he observed, "It doesn't cost any more to pick a good place for my feet and it might help my swing." He played the rest of the round closer to his regular game. Foot comfort is indeed essential to good golf. It is only one of many essentials that are continually éverlooked by most golfers. Why? It seems that the player's atten- tion runs more to mannerisms. Couple Golf Pras Honeymooning At Canadian Open En Route to Vancouver, Sept. 17 (CP)--There's glamor about the Canadian Open Golf Tournament this year that gives it the touch of a honeymoon special. Joe Noble, the professional at Torontd's Thornhill course, and Skip Alexander, the likeable, soft- spoken player from Lexington, N.C., will bring their brides to the beauti- ful Shaughnessy Heights course at Vancouver. Both were married Thursday, "Skip" to Kathleen Reade of Knox- ville, 'Ten., and Joe, former pro at the Kitchener Westmount course, to Beverley Nesbitt of Aurora. The Canadian ' couple were married in Teronto and left immediately for Vancouver, Logical Contender Fails To Show Yet For Louis' Crown Philadelphia, Sept. 17 (AP).-- The National Boxing Association said yesterday there is no "logical contender" for Joe Louis' heavy- weight title.

WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer En route to Vancouver, Sept. 17 --(CP) -- Big Bobby Gray, profes- sional at Toronto Scarboro, may be just the man to turn the trick at the Canadian . Open golf tourna- ment in Vancouver next week. Bobby is strongly backed by the Eastern Canadia. contingent en- route to the coast on the golfer's special for the tournament opening Sept. 22. If he can win, he will be the first Canadian to finish first since 1914, Karl Keffer of Ottawa gave Canada the last championship in its own tournament back in 1914. Listen to Gordie Brydson of Toronto Mississauga, who ranks among the best Canada has pro- duced: "Bob has been on his game. He's a tough guy to beat. He is hitting them hard and straight. I haven't played the Shaughnessy Heights course but from what I hear this course is to Bob's liking." Gray finished sixth last year at his home course, eight strokes away from the record low of 268 set up by Bobby L#tke of South Africa. Bobbie didn't count out Stan Horne of Montreal Islemere. The Mississauga pro thought, modestly, that Canada may win the title this year, * Brydson had the best Canadian professional score in 1942 at his To- ronto Mississauga home course. He has twice been runner-up. When the tournament shapes up for its start next Wednesday, there may be a total of 150 entries, more than one third from the United States.

White 'Dimag' Homers Into 300 Class Detroit, Sept. 17 (AP).--Joe Di- Maggio, siege-gun centrefielder of New York Yankees, may not be able to slug the Yanks home in front of the raging Red Sox but the Yankee Clipper already has cemented a notable personal achievement for his 1948 efforts. Joltin' Joe, belting the ball at a long-range clip second only to his banner sophomore season in 1937, today celebrated his entry into the exclusive "300-homer" club, an elite group of present and former slug- ging stars. who belted 300 home runs in the major leagues. DiMaggio rifled his 36th homer of the current season Thursday as the Yanks were dividing a twin bill with Detroit Tigers. It was his 300th home run in 10 years with the Yanks. The blow, off Freddie Hutchinson, didn't prevent the Yankees from losing the opener 2-1, but it pro- pelled Joe into some mighty select company. In baseball's long history only eight players have belted 300 homers before hanging. up their spikes. Kingpin of them all, of course, was Babe Ruth, who claimed 714 in his 22 years in the big time. Jimmy Foxx rang the bell for 527 homers in 19 seasons, Mel Ott had 511 for 21 years and Lou Gehrig, hit 494 in his 17 campaigns. Completing the list are Hank Greenberg (331), Rogers Hornsby (302) and Church Klein (300) and DiMaggio (300). With the current Yankee bomber on his hottest homer rampage since he led the league in 1937 with 46 circuit -smashes; DiMaggio is vir- tually certain to climb ahead of Hornsby and Klein into sixth place among the all-time greats by the time the Yanks play out their re- maining 15 games. Already talk is going around that DiMaggio, three- time winnes of the American Lea- gue's most-valuable-player award, will demand $125,000 in 1949 salary from the Yankees, who are paying Jim an estimated $70,000 this sea- on.

Test Forest Hills, N.Y.( Sept. 17--(AP) --Herbie Flam, 19-year-old colle- gian from Beverly Hills, Calif., has established himself as the giant- killer of the United States Nation- al Tennis championships, Ranked no better than 20th, the former junior champion was firmly entrenched in the semi-finals today with only three other Americans still in the running for the men's singles title. Flam's victims include such cam- paigners as Harry Likas, intercol- legiate champion from San Fran- cisco, and Gardnar Mulloy of Mi- ami, Fla. co-holder of the United States doubles title, Latest to feel the effects of Flam's steady attack was Likas, who suc- cumbed Thursday in an amazing turnabout after he had beaten Flam in nine of the first 11 games. Flam won 18 of the last 20 games and broke through Likas' service 10 times in a row to triumph, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-0. His semi-final ecpponent will be Eric Sturgess, poker-faced perfec- tionist from South Africa, who out- lasted Earl Cochell of San Fran- cisco, 6-2, 8-6, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, in the quarter-finals Thursday. Sturgess, one of two foreign threats still gunning for the title vacated by Jack Kramer, is the same sort of retriever as Flam. He phlled off frequent winners against the dogged Cochell by go- ing efter seemingly-impossible shots and lobbing them over the Califor- nian's head. Taller and faster than Flam, the South African Davis Cupper will carry a slight advantage into their semi-final struggle tomorrow. The other semi-final opponents were to be determined. today with top-seeded Frank Parker of Los Angeles meeting Pancho Gonzales, also of Los Angeles, and Bob Falk- enburg of Hollywood . taking on Jaroslav Drobny, Czech Davis-Cup ace. The "Big Four" monopoly of the Wightman Cup quartet was broken in the women's division yesterday when Gertrude Moran of Sania Monica, Calif., seeded seventh and ranked ninth nationally, stopped second-seeded Doris Hart of Mi- ami, Fla, 6-4, 6-4.

Big League Baseball Yesterday By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Those poor little St. Louis Browns who sold their stars to Boston for some $375,000 are biting the hand that fed them. Thursday night's nibble, a 3-1 Red Sox loss, reduced Boston's Am- erican League lead to one game over New York. A lean willowy gent by the name' of Cliff Fannin did the most dam- age. : Boston went into the game, know- ing that the runner-up New York Yankees had divided an afternoon doubleheader at Detroit. If they won they would pick up a half game. Instead they were victim- ized by Fannin's magic and again have that nervous feeling that somebody is shoving from behind. Fannin shut out the Red Sox until the ninth when he ran into trouble. Then an old Bostonian, Eddie Pellacrini, whom Joe Cronin had "tossed in" when he bought Kramer and Stephens, saved him with a leaping stab of a line drive. Cleveland took advantage of Bos- ton's loss to close the gap between first and third place to 2'4 games. The tribe handed Washington its 16th straight loss 6-3 on a five- run first inning that included a bases-loaded homer by Larry Doby. Doby, the Indians' brilliant negro outfielder, came through with his first grand-slam homer after Par- nell loaded the bases through wild- ness. He walked in one run before Doby connected. The Yankees missed a chance to tie Boston for the lead by losing the first game at Detroit, 2-1. They salved the second, 8-4, overcoming an early Tiger lead. Freddie Hutchinson outpitched Vic Raschi in the opener with a four-hitter. Yielding only one run-- the 300th homer of Joe DiMaggio's Major League career. DiMag be- came the eighth slugger to attain such slugging fame, the others are Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Mel Ott, Rogers Hornsby, Hank Greenberg and Chuck Klein. Johnny Lindell's two-run pinch double in the seventh and Joe Page's two-run triple to deep cen- tre helped the Yanks come from behind to take the second from Dizzy Trout. Page who replaced starter Allie Reynolds in the fifth, earned his fifth victory. The league-leading Boston Braves were idle in the National League so the runner-up Pittsburgh Pirates and third-place Brooklyn Dodgers each gained a half-game. Pittsburgh fanned its hopes by walloping New York, 10-6, but they sfill trail the Braves by 4': games with time fast running out. Brooklyn slugged Cincinnati, 12- 6, their 18th win in 22 starts against the Reds. They now trail the Braves by five games. Hank Sauer hammered a bases- loaded homer in the first, but the Dodgers came back with three runs and continued to bang away all afternoon.

His feature attrac- tion, the Canadian lightweight title bout between the champion Arthur King and the young aspirant Har- vey Mathe, promises to supply that action . . , It is conceded that King has a little more polish and ex- perience for Mahe, but it is also conceded that Mathe, who has won all his 10 pro bouts, and six of them by knockouts, will at one time or another in the 12 rounds have King in a dubious situation . , . Mathe can punch . . . His record shows that . . . Also he is hungry, where King has been living off that fat of the land for a couple of sea- sons .
