Now he is a rector of the QAHA. LOVES TO CLOWN By W. R. WHEATLEY MONTREAL (CP: littl walked to the plate and Jail own a bunt, on orders. Then he headed for third base, definitely not on orders, Everything worked gut just as the impish Marcel (Lefty) Bois- vert had hoped. "The pitcher-was so mixed up he threw to third," said the ir- repressible Lefty in recalling the hilarious affair. "I went back, rounded the plate and ran on to first. I didn't need the base umpire there to tell me I was out. "But the baserunner we had had on first was then on second. It would have been 4 stire dou- ble play if I had started for first after bunting to the pitcher." This incident occurred during the war years when Lefty a pretty smart pitcher in his own right, was' playing with the RCAF Halifax team. The Shipyards team, in the Defence League with the air- mef, the navy and the army, was the victim. Art Upper, formerly with Tor- onto Maple Leafs and then man- ager of the RCAF team, toid Ti-Cats' Feast Slight Change To Point Race By THE CANADIAN PRESS Despite Hamilton Tiger-Cats' fi & junior hockey teat. Lefty: "You're too smart for; that team." Upper wasn't so ha in a later game when his fun-loving setewball exceeded all records --at least for altitudewith the blooper pitch. "T had heard there was a guy in the majors whose blooper went 10 feet up, then came down and sailed across the plate' for a strike," said Lefty. "I had tried a few in this game and did pretty well. "Then this heavy hitter came up and the crowd started yell- ing, 'blooper, blooper.' "Tf let 'em have it, I must havet hrown the ball at least 100 feet into the air. It came down near the plate. Two runs scored before the ball hit the ground. "I think old Stone-Face Cor- figan, the umpire, smiled for the first time in his life. But all he said was 'ball.' Upper came tearing out and benched me. But we won the game." Boisvert, now 45, is a native of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, hard by) Trois-Rivieres, bitter sports-r'- val communities. He alwa's loved sport, even long before } 3 persuaded his grandmother to Lefty then was 18. Around his home &féa he has been player, manager, orgati- zer, coach, umpire, owner, én- trepreneur and clown, He has also been a machinist, a panes mill worker, radio sports broad- caster, newspaper sports col- umnist and editor, race track manager and curling club man-' ager. Currently he is sports editor' for Broadcast News in Mont- teal. He is only five feet, three inches tall, but is still trim and muscular at 145 pounds. He is a good golfer, shooting in the 708 after only five years at the game, and a capable curler. He joined the RCAF in Que- bec City in 1940 and was shut- tled about from Ontario to Queée- bec to the Maritimes. The brass rejoiced in his prowess as 4 pitcher for their service teams and just as regularly threw him into the clink when he blandly forgot to come back from leave. Lefty was equally as eccen- tric in hockey -- to the extent that he drew a life suspension from the Quebec Amateur Hoc- high points scored in theif 67-21 victory Monday night over Sas- katchewan Roughriders in a Canadian Football League game, only two changes were But it is largely in baseball that Lefty can claim member- ship in the Daffy Doings Club. With the RCAF team in Hali- fax one day he strode to the plate swinging six bats, ready to frighten the pitcher with all of them. He stumbled and lost four. He started swinging the other two and both flew out of his hands. Accidentally, it is presumed. Unperturbed, Lefty took his stance with nary a bat, Old Stone-Face. Corrigan, a stickler for protocol, made Lefty re- trieve just one. - After the war Lefty returnéd to his native Cap-de-la-Made- leine and played ball there and for teams nearby. Twice--at Lac Megantic and St. Bonifacehe called in his outfielders. "The parks were small and if the gtiy was going to get a hit he would have put the ball out of the park anyway," said key Association for packing oné Mohns, Richard Hold Scoring Lead MONTREAL (CP) Doug Mohns, a fast-breaking Boston Bruins defenceman, shares the early lead with Henri (Pocket Rocket) Richard of Montreal Canadiens in the National scoring race. Official NHL statistics re- leased today show both players picked up five points last week in their first three outings of the current season. Mohns is ranked first beeause he has scored three goals to Richard's two. Mohns has picked up two as- sists and Richard three. MacDonald and Baun, whose three-point totals came on goals alone, lead the group.

TOUCHED OFF RIOT Against his better judgment, Lefty once agreed to fill in as umpire in la Ligue Rurale, a rough, tough outfit in the hinter- lands. The count on a massive bat- ter went to two and one. The next pitch was a sweeping, barnyard curve that caught the corner. "Strike," said Lefty.

And on the night's play, the result was just about right.

Murph straightens his chunky five-foot-six-frame, sets his jaw and stands impassive. The ruddy-faced little guy with the deep-set eyes and thin- ning hair is a Montreal district baseball umpire, a flamboyant tyrant on the field, a likable easy-smiling chap off it. Murphy started as a teen-ager back in 1917 and although he's never made it beyond semi- professional leagues he plans to keep at it "till they carry me off, one la or another." "In the last few years--I'm getting on at 63 you know--I talk about hanging it up at the end of each season, But come spring I always go back." At work, Murphy makes a pro- duction of his calls and invar- jably the fans ride him with taunts for the first few innings. In a high-pitched voice, he shouts his decisions, hands swinging in exaggerated ges- tures. But beneath the showman's flair is a man of baseball grounding who brooks no non- sense. The player who mis- behaves is ejected with speed and authority, dispatched by a 'flip of Harty's thumb. "Murph makes a show out of it but there are few of his calls you can really dispute with hon- esty," says Bill Bennett, 23, a Gazette sports writer who played junior ball in one of the many leagues where Murphy of- ficiates. Harry himself will admit in a weaker moment that he occa- sionally muffs one. "None of us is anywhere close to perfect," he says. But one thing I'm always careful about. I don't ever try to compensate. That is, if I realize that I goofed, 1 steer clear of making my next deci- sion favorable to make up for it. Once it's gone that's it. I'm not trying to make myself popular with everyone." Murphy was assaulted once. That was back in 1947 and he's not sure whether it was the fans or the players. me was a city cham- final in the junior cate- gory. Tempers exploded and the fans swarmed the field.
