SPORTS FROM BRITAIN Baseball Continues to Thrive In Land of Soccer and Cricket By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)--The majority of British sports fans may be pre- occupied this Summer with the visit of the Australian cricketers, but some 450 baseball teams anti- cipate a top season. In fact, their best yet. From Liverpool, hotbed of base-| ball in Britain, to London's 35 teams the story is the same. Base- ball here is gradually being played better by more and more Britons. Sorae day the me may even draw real crowds. The game's toe-hold in the land of soccer and cricket was streng- thened immeasurably during the Second World War as Canadian and American servicemen spread the baseball gospel. BRITISH RECRUITS Today, partly because of the Canadians who stayed on, married or otherwise, London has the 26- team Southeastern League and the nine-team Western Amateur Lea- gue. They are sprinkled with North Americans, including Cana dian hockey players keeping in shape, but they operate only because of the large British enrolment. The game's standards have come a long way, says Edward (Pep) Brown, Windsor, Ont., native who played at home and in Britain during the First World War, re- turned permanently in 1933 and now is president of the Western SPORTSMANS DIGEST h/sharo As one of the surviving members of the pre-war National Baseball Association, now the Baseball As- sociation at Liverpool, Brown says Scheduled Preakness Starters Announced BALTIMORE (AP)--A racing world on tenterhooks for the return match of Native Dancer and Dark Star learns definitely today 'who will be with them as the supporting cast in Saturday's $100,000 Preak- ness.

Rounders, says Brown, is a childrens' game here where "you {hit the ball and run like hell." | Charlie Dickson, Cockney mana- ger of the Pioneers in the Western League, says baseball used to be "terrible." But it's getting better.

F. FANS The Western and Southeastern Leagues (the latter doesn't include the word amateur in its name) play from mid-May to Sept. 15, staging an all-star game in mid- season with players chosen the year before. Both leagues have play-offs. Brown says the biggest crowd he's ever had was 7,000 at White |City for an exhibition charity |game. One game was televised last year and he hopes one will be on TV .this year. League headquarters is 22,000- seat Mitcham Stadium, said the best for baseball in Britain.

There could be additional sur- {prise entries at $500 a throw, but none is anticipated. | This 77th Preakness has drawn {as much interest as any since the {1873 inaugural. It's all due to the | Kentucky Derby May 2 when Dark Star shattered the aura of invinc- ibility that had surrounded Native Dancer. The first defeat of the big Alfred G. Vanderbilt grey three-year-old in 12 races stunned the turf frater- nity and millions more who watched on television. The question of whether it was a fluke will bulge Pimlico with a crowd that is expected to approach if not surpass the record attend- ance of 42,370 in 1946. . Developments since the Derby have added sauce to the situation. Native Dancer returned to New York to win the Withers Mile im- pressively last Saturday while Dark Star was beaten by Royal Bay Gem at Pimlico Monday in the Preakness Prep. Royal Bay Gem, the property of Eugene Con- stantin Jr., was fourth in the derby. If seven start, the Preakness pot will total $113,750 with $65,200 to the winner, Irish Intemationals Beat Ont.

From the Lindsay paper we see that Jack Litch got into the Transporters game for the final inning to replace Mike MeArthur . , , and that Junior West, the Oropo flash, did some ninth inning hurling for the Merchants. Our scorebook muffed the call on both guys... sorry. A quote from their story has this to say ... "Over the route it appeared that the veteran Merchants require a little more time to reach the top form shown by the youthful Trans- sporters." Did you know that Guelph Maple Leafs haven't won a game in Galt against the Ter- riers for the last three sea- sons. They hoped to undo the jinx in Galt last night. Speaking of threes, that was the third loss for the Mer-; chants last night here at th Stadium. Wonder if the guys will break the horse-collar® Considering the amount of work, the great expansion and the success enjoyed by their teams, the amount of back- slapping and tooting-of-their- own-horn indulged in by the tion at their Annual Smdker last night was comparable to the explosion of a lady-finger firecracker in the Mojave Des- ert.

Not so with the OMHA types ...all they can see is the great task ahead, the work done by other Associations, the work that could be done here.

Leafs Deal Off Hornet Chuck Blair TORONTO (CP)--Toronto Maple Leafs, who finished out of the Na- tional Hockey League playoffs last season, announced Wednesday night the start of their rebuilding program with the purchase of two forwards from Cleveland Barons. Leafs received centre Bob Bailey and right-winger Gerry Foley in exchange for Charlie Blair, a mem- ber of the Toronto farm club at Pittsburgh, and an undisclosed amount of cash. Bailey, a native of Kenora, Ont., will be 22 late this month. Last season, his first in professional hockey, he scored 11 goals and had 35 assists with the Barons, American Hockey League cham- pions. One of the few American-born players in the pro game, Foley played with Seattle Bombers of the Western Hockey League last sea- son and was chosen as the WHL's top rookie. He tallied 29 goals and 30 assists.

(AP)--Hot Springs of the Cotton States League presumably will decide today whe- ther to forfeit every game in which it attempts to play a Negro pitcher or cease its effort to introduce Negroes into the three-state cir- cuit. Wednesday night the cellar-dwel- ling Hot Springs Bathers attempted to play Jim Tugerson, a Negro righthander, but they were forced to forfeit the game to Jackson, Miss., 9-0 on orders of league pres- ident Al Haraway. i Haraway said Hot Springs had '"'yiolated an agreement reached in Greenville, Miss., on April 14." He ordered the class-C league's umpires to forfeit every game to the opposing club when Tugerson's name appears on the roster. Club co-owner Lewis Goltz said the directors would meet today to settle the issue 'once and for all." He termed the agreement "illegal and contrary to federal law." From Natchez, Miss., came a hint that the league may try once again,to oust the Bathers from the eight-team circuit. Tom Glennon, Natchez general manager, said his club fully ap- proved Haraway's action. "If the league takes action against Hot Springs, that may mean a revision of the league schedule," he said. The league attempted to oust the Bathers this spring, when Jim Tugerson and his brother, Leander, were hired from Indianapolis of the Negro American League. But Hot Springs forestalled the action with a ruling by minor league head George Trautman that a club could play Negroes if it desired. Following the Greenville, Miss., meeting alluded to by Har- away In Wednesday's statement, the Bathers optioned the brothers to Knoxville of the class-D Moun- tain States circuit, where Jim com- piled a 6-2 record. He was recalled Tuesday. , Tugerson was warming up Wed- nesday night when the forfeit order was read before some 1,500 fans, including from 200 to 300 Negroes, who greeted the announcement with boos--and then dispersed quietly. The crowd was the largest of the season here.
