| ¢ ! TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30 , 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Spicy Bits From Other Sports ( Cols. Canadian Press Staff Writer Halifax, Nov. 30--(CP)--Maritime Senior Hockey is exper¥ncing- one of its roughest seasons 'n history and players, fans and sport scribes have declared a "Open Season" on referees. Continual beefs about the calibre of refereeing, particularly in the Maritime Senior League, has made life even more unbearable for whistle-tooters. News that Frank (King) Clancy, chief National Hockey League referee, would conduct a referees' school in Charlottetown Dec. 7-9 to help standardize officiating meth- ods drew the following comment from Ace (Halifax Chronicle) Foley: " ... For the good of the game and because they have funds on hand, the M.AH.A. (Maritime Am- ateur Hockey Association) should conduct a referees' school of its own. Furthermore, it should be staged without loss of time." Commenting on one game when a player was given a two-minute minor misconduct penalty, Alex (Halifax Herald) Nickerson said: "The refereeing was indifferent. There were far too many offsides and arguments between players and referees held up the game. ". . . Referee Bob Greene gave +" +» 8 two-minute penalty . .. for 'using abusive language.' However, to the surprise of everybody in the rink, the Irish (Halifax St. Mary's) continued using six players. Later it was learned that the referee de- cided it was a 'Minor misconduct penalty,' and therefore considered two minutes was sufficient. "This appears to be something. Rule 29 says that misconduct pen- alties to all players, except the goalie, involve removal from the game for a period of 10 minutes." Winter Sports In French Alps Make Come-Back By MACFEE KERR Paris, Nov. 30--(Reuters)--Sports organizers and tourist authorities in France are planning an ambitious program of winter sports despite numerous economic difficulties. An official of the French Skiing Federation in Paris said invitations have been sent to 70 countries to take part in La Samaine Interna- | tionale De Mont Blahc (Mont Blanc International Week) to be held in the Chamonix region of the French Alps Jan. 17-23. Prepare Ski Event Preparations are also being made for a big skiing event at Chamonix Feb. 17-27, and one expected to be held in March at Auron in the Alpas Maritimes department, "This year's winter sports season ought to be 'the most important since the end of the war," a feder- | ation official said. "It may not have all the brilliance of last year's Olympic winter sports in Switzer- land, but our organization is get- ting into stride again. Our main difficulties have been caused by the country's unstable economic con- dition. "Railway travel, hotel acconmeo- dation and winter sport equipment have all increased in price this year." The Paris newspaper Aube re- cently estimated that the cost of winter sports in France has increa- sed 50 per cent this year. "The most modest hotels in the winter sports regions are charging about $2 a day more than they did last year. For a first class hotel, you must reckon about $8 a day now." Increased Costs But in spite of increased charges, many winter hotel®are already sold out' for the season. One reason is that French tourist authoritied have been conducting an extensive ade vertising campaign abroad, More than 15000 sports booklets have been sent to Britain, Canada, United States and South America. The Michelin Tourist Service; French guide-book publisher, has issued a special book listing all sports stations, with their altitiides and details of restaurant and lodg- ing accommodation. There is also detailed road information. Persons most seriously affected by the increased cost of winter sports in France are those planning to ski for the first time. The cost of equipment is well beyond the means of the French worker whose '@verage weekly wage is about $15. Current prices for ski wear in Par-- is are: Shoes, $20, skiing vests, $20; trousers, $20 to $25; ash skis, $10. Another winter tourist atirac- tion, expected to bring many visi- tors to France, is the Nice Carni- val. Carnival-equipped makers in this Mediterranean resort are al- ready making parade floats, grotes- que effigies and huge masks.

Of course the In- dians have a fair third baseman in Ken Keltner, but Marsh's record may be the reason why Ken re- cently remarked: "I've got' a sneak- ing suspicion that a guy named Keltner might go some place in a big deal before too long a time." . . .
