12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, April 15, 1963 ra GRAHAM MATHIEU One-Armed Lad Beats Handicap To 'Make Team PEMBROKE, Ont. (CP) -- Graham Mathieu is only one of thousands of Canadian youngs- ters playing in minor hockey leagues during the winter, But the 10-year-old left winger had to overcome a serious handicap to take his place with the rest of the country's puck-chasers-- he has only one arm. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Sid Mathieu, Graham was born with a stump for a right arm. But that didn't stop him from join- ing his friends in baseball, foot- ball and hockey games. Hockey was always his favor- ite and he often plays on the street from the time school is out until it's too dark to see. He moved into organized hockey last wimter with the Holy Name schoo] team. His marked, "you should see his slapshot." When his. team was eliminated from the playoffs, Graham as- sisted on one of the two goals it scored in the defeat. He moves with grace and agility on the ice, tucking the handle of his stick in his right armpit and manoeuvring the puck with his good left arm. His parents attend as many games as they can and help him remove some of his equip- ment afterwards. : Hockey doesn't interfere with his studies. He's an honor stu- dent in his Grade 5. class this lyear. Graham will never reach the hockey heights attained by his idol, Bobby Hull of Chicago teammates say his passes are most accurate and, one re- Black Hawks, but it won't be from lack of courage. International Loop To Have New Look, Manager By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The International Baseball League, expanded to 10 teams and with seven new managers, its 80th season Tuesday Tight with President Tommy Richardson predicting the best attendance in a dozen years. Both the two new teams, Little Rock and Indianapolis, open at home--the Arkansas Travelers entertaining Roches- ter and Indianapolis playing host to Buffalo. -- In the other games, Toronto is at the 1962 pennant winner, Jacksonville; Syracuse is at At- Janta, and Columbus at Rich- mond. The expansion to 10 teams came about when the American Association folded and the sur- viving part by the International and by the Pacific Coast . Jacksonville, Atlanta, Little Rock, Indianapolis and s-leams Columbus will form the South- ern Division and Buffalo, Tor- onto, Rochester, Syracuse and Richmond the Northern Divi- sion. Teams will play 18 games against clubs in their own divi- sion and 16 against those in the other division, making up a 152- game schedule. The new managers are Harry Walker at Atlanta, Frank Lue- chesi at Little Rock, Rollie Hemsley at Indianapolis, Pres- ton Gomez at Richmond, Dar- rel] Johnson at Rochester, Bob Swift at Syracuse, and Bill Adair at Toronto. The holdovers are Kerby Farrell at Buffalo, Larry Shepard at Columbus and Ben Geraghty at Jacksonville. "Little Rock already reports advance sales of $70,000," says teams were absorbed|Richa chardson. He said he looks for opening day sellouts at Jacksonville, At- lanta, Richmond and Indianap- |Olis. NOBODY BEATS Pitching NEW YORK (AP)--National League baseball parks have been echoing with the umpire cry of "balk" at such an alarm- ing rate this season, the ques- tion immediately arises as to whether there has been secret change in the balk rule. "No," says Jocko Conlan, the dean of National League men in blue. 'Definitely not." "No," echoes League Presi- dent Warren Giles. 'There has been no change in the rules. The umpires have not received any instructions from me to enforce st." Why is it then that in the first three days National League um- pires called a dozen balks while over the same period not a sin- gle balk call has been made by American League umpires? Five were called on New York Mets pitchers alone. Also, how does Giles account for the fact that National League umpires called only one balk through the first three days last year? N.L. Umpires Call the balk rule more than in the) Greek Money Cops Excelsior NEW YORK (AP)--Bnandy- wine Stable's Greek Money, who won the 1962 Preakness but has done little since, captured the $28,100 Excelsior Handicap at Aqueduct Saturday, but the 53,277 fans got a real eyeful ear- lwer in the sunny afternoon, Greentree Stable's Kentucky Derby hope, No Robbery, won the fifth race by 10 lengths with biazing speed and stamped him- self as favorite for next Satur- day's $75,000 Wood Memorial. Jockey John L. Rotz rode both horses and brought Greek Money home an easy three- length victor over David Shaer's Misty Day, with Wheat- ley Stable's Rebellious Third, another one-half length away. The winner paid $11.50, $6.50 and $3, Misty Day paid $7.60 and $3.30, while Rebellious re- turned $2.40, Greek Money col- lected $18,265 for his owner, Miscues American League umpires did not call any. "The pitchers must be com- mitting more balks if more have been called," insists Giles. Does that mean National League pitchers have not been taught as well as American League pitchers how to avoid balking? : The rule says a pitcher must pause in his wind-up for a full second before making delivery. The disparity of the balk calls could be due to a variety of reasons. National League umpires may be more discerning, The balk rule is being interpreted differ- ently by the men in blue. Amer- ican League umpires may be more lenient. Alvin Jackson, one of the Mets' culprits Wednesday, ad- mitted he had balked, "There's no question that I didn't hesitate," said the New York left hander, "'They've been letting us get away with it for years and it's just a bad habit Dune MacTavish moved Dares Direct into a strong finishing kick which carried him away from his field with ease and to victory in the $4,000 Invitation Handicap at Greenwood Race- way Saturday night, Owned by the Cloverland) * Dunc MacTavish Flicks Whip To Win Greenwood TORONTO (CP)--With a flick from his whip, trainer-driver the crowd of 8,133, the seven) Favorites Armbro Duke and year-old by Meadown Gene out|Lena's Pride took the opener of Waac, returned $13.50, $6.60\and second race respectively and $3.30 after besting Noraljand combined for a $9.70 daily Gale by 4% lengths.

When Thomas Carlyle wrote these words more than a century ago, adding the press to the church, the peerage and the commoner, he was looking shrewdly into the future. He could see despotism on the march in countries with newspapers under the thumb of government. He could see freedom on the march where the press was free. No other term than "Fourth Estate" could ade- quately describe the function of a free press--not quite a part of parliament--but not outside it either. Published by The Oshowe Times, « It's the same today. The press gallery staff of The Canadian Press, daily newspapers' co-operative association, and ree porters assigned to the gallery by individual news- papers, inform millions of Canadians daily on the debates and decisions that affect their daily lives. These journalists serve as a guarantee that the smallest act of government shall be fairly reported to the people--a built-in barrier against encroach- ment on freedoms taken so much for granted.
