CANADIAN CORPS HONORS ITS HOCKEY CHAMPIONS Members of the Bantam "A" championship team were honored Friday by the Cana- dian Corps Unit 42.

Nick-Name Sports Greats Leave Gap In Our History . By ED SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer A large chunk of color left the sports scene when The Boomer and The Earthquake _ during the last few ys. Bernie (Boom Boom) Geof- frion may not have been the greatest right winger in hockey and Earl (Earthquake) Luns- ford, in the end, wasn't even the best fullback on Calgary Stampeders' roster, But they were among the last of a van- ishing breed. With their retirement, Elmer (Moose) Vasko, Bronco Nagur- ski, Gump Worsley and Leo Lewis, the Lincoln Locomotive, are about the last professional athletes left in Canada with really meaningful nicknames. An ever - increasing orchestra of publicists works the year round trying to popularize foot- ball and hockey, the country's big-time sports. And the best they can do, after a long look at Leonard Kelly (and you have to look closely these days) is to color him Red. Here and there, they've tried. Frank Mahovlich is the Big M and Bobby Hull the Golden Jet. But neither label has really stuck, And Willie the Wisp has won only limited acceptance with the worshippers of Willie Fleming. Things used to be different. The Moose and Bronco are the last of what once was a flour- ishing animal kingdom--fellows like Rabbit McVeigh, Doggie Kuhn, Emile (The Cat) Fran- cis, Johnny (Black Cat) Gag- non, Spider Mazur and Lester Patrick, the Silver Fox. Toronto Maple Leafs held a powezful hand topped by Ace SPORTS FROM BRITAIN Stern Sailing Rules Create Supreme Test PLYMOUTH, England (CP)-- The 15 yachtsmen who headed for the high seas in the second- single - handed transatlantic face must be among the truest adventurers in the world. Certainly some sort of special tag should go to five of the men who are at the lonely and ardu- ous ordeal again after being the original competitors in the first race in 1960. The yachts left Saturday, May 23, for the ocean joust of 2,900 miles from Plymouth to Newport, R.I. It is called a race but could more properly be termed a matter of survival. The Royal Western Yacht Club of England, the organizer, stipulates the yachtsmen must prove they are well prepared for the journey and they 'have no right to expect or demand rescue operations to be launched on their behalf." At least some of the boats carried oars since the rules al- low the yachts to be propelled by "the force of the wind, the manpower of the. crew, or both." If the wind fails, the lone sailors may perch on the sterns and scull their craft along. FARMER IN RACE What impells men to .become! sea-borne hermits under such; gruelling conditions? Dr. David Lewis, 46-year-old London physician who placed third in 1960, said with a smile the only thing the yachtsmen have in common is that they all have slipped discs from the back-breaking work. They include two doctors and a dentist, a Royal Marine officer, a farmer, a brewer, two French naval officers and a Danish construction worker and wanderer. Their ages range from 28 to 63. The. 63-year-old is Francis Chichester, who sailed his 40- foot Gipsy Moth Ill to victory in 40 days in 1960, He did the trip alone again in Gipsy in 1962, cutting his time to 33% days. A Briton who emigrated to New Zealand as a youth, he won fame as a pioneer long-distance flyer before he turned to single- handed navigation. He likes sol- itude so much he tended to van: ish from human company even before the race began. WILL. BE FRIGHTENED Mike Ellison, 28 - year - old master mariner making the solo passage for the first time aboard the 36-foot Ilala, which carries a specially designed Chinese schooner rig, said be- fore departure: "I know there will be times when I shall be very fright- ened." Bill Howell, 33, Australian dental surgeon, sailing the eight-ton Stardrift, declared: "T love the sense of isolation. On your own you really see things in perspective." For Lewis, a New Zealander, the Atlantic crossing is merely a first step. His wife and two small daughters plan on joining him in the United States and they will sail on to New Zea- land aboard his catamaran, a two-hulled craft. Fatigue is one of the great- est hazards for a single-handed Sailor. While the yachtsmen sleep an automatic helmsman, controlled by a wind vane, will keep theinr boats on course. The saddest story was told by Dr. Robert McCurdy, 45, who lost his own three children and two others when his yacht\sank after a collision in the Gerrhan river Elbe two years ago. He once vowed he would never sail again but now aboard his new yacht Tammie-Norie 11 he is out to prove that tragedy cannot win.

Montreal Canadiens always mined a rich lode of glittering characters, from Newsy La- londe, through Howie Morenz, the Stratford Streak, Battleship Leduc and Gagnon to Toe Blake, Butch Bouchard, Mau- rice (Rocket) Richard and Geoffrion in the immediate past. The United Natjons was well represented with Turk Broda, Ching Johnson, Dutch Gainor. Dutch Reibel, Yank Boyd and Scotty Bowman, Lionel (Big Train) Conacher highballed through hockey, foot- ball and practically every other form of organized sports as Canada's Athlete of the Half Century. Cyclone Taylor howled through the West. , There was a nursery full of Babes--Dye, Siebert and Pratt --and an assortment that in- cluded Peanuts O'Flaherty, Dit} Clapper, Cooney Weiland, Hoo- ley Smith, Bingo Kampman, Teeder Kennedy, Sugar Jim Henry and a host of others. Football was less richly en- dowed. But Ottawa Rough Rid- ers had Tony Golab, the Golden Boy, Hamilton worshipped Brian Timmins, the Old Man of the Mountain, Sugarfoot And- erson roamed the plains as a Calgary Stampeder, and Sam Etcheverry fired passes for Montreal Alouettes as The Rifle. Bummer Stirling, Rocky Par- saca, Huck Welch, Susie Tur- ner, Shanty McKenzie and Uly (Crazylegs) Curtis were a few of the others, Today we've reached the op- posite extreme when a player's nam appears on the program th same way he signs his cheques -- just a name and a couple of initials like A. D. Wil- liams or J. C. Tremblay. No wonder they're crying fo color television. TOOTHACHE 'Don't suffer agony.

R by many i "first-aid" for toothaches yet so safe doctors recommend it for teething. 89¢ ORA-JEL BIG SURPRISE | NEW YORK (AP) -- Apart from his passion for expensive sport cars, fine clothes and good times, Bill Hartack is no more typical of the average jockey than Cassius Clay is of the av- erage prizefighter: To begin with, Hartack never wanted to be a jockey. He went to work as a stable hand only because he could get no other job. He is an exceptionally in- telligent young man who was valedictorian of his high schoo! class in 1950. "Tm too intense in what I'm doing to really enjoy myself,' Hartack said as he tried to ex- plain his complex nature. "That is, I never get elated when : win, no matter how big or im- portant the race." The angry young man of rac- ing was polite and stimulating as he discussed his stormy ca- reer, from his shaky start to his present status as the boldest and best of the riders, and his hopes of the future. "1 just never become enthu- siastic about anything," he sald. "Eyen when I won my first race, I wasn't overjoyed. I was so worried about not making any mistakes that I actually did not enjoy it." : "Honest, I get no bigger kick May's Average Plunges With Recent Slump NEW YORK (AP) San Francisco Giants' captain says Willie Mays not only won't hit 400 this year but he'll be lucky to hit .300. The captain should know be- cause he happens to be Willie Mays. : "No kidding," said the bril- liant centre fielder. 'I'l settle for .300 right now. It's tough to hit .300 today. "Even when I was hitting .450 and .500, I knew I couldn't keep that up. I fall into too many slumps." Mays was hitting around .480 until two weeks ago but his av- erage has dropped to .379. He went hitless in three official times at bat Friday night as New York Mets defeated the Giants 4-2, knocking them out of first place. "If I can finish up among the top five or six in home runs, runs batted in, runs scored and average, I'll consider it a good year," Willie said. '"'How many fellows do you think will hit .300 this year? I'll bet no more than seven or eight. "when I first came up to the big leagues, they told me if I could hit .300 I'd have nothing to worry about. Well, it. gets tougher and tougher. Not be- cause I'm getting old. It's the schedule with all the travelling and night flying. It takes a lot out of you."

"I admit it's more important to win a Derby because of the amount of money it brings and because of the accent on such an important racing event by the press and public. But. win- ning a.small race for a poor owner gives me the same satis- faction." In aii, Hartack, who will try to. become the first jockey to capture the triple crown of rac ing since Eddie Arcaro did it with Citstion in 1948, has won more than 3,300 races since he began riding in 1952. He was the first te win the national title as the leading jockey three years in a row--in 1955, 1956 and 1957. The 31-year-old Hartack lists four requisites of an outstand- ing jockey, other than riding a/ good horse -- determination, | judgment, reflexes and catia ory. | "You win a lot of races by taking advantage of the other horses' bad habits," he said "You must remember what the other horses have done and are capable of doing." Hartack has set no specific date for retirement but. he has been giving lots of thought to the future. "T think I'd like to go into the television sportscasting field after I stop riding," he said. "T think the laymen could under- stand and appreciate racing more if someone from the inside were to explain it more thor- oughly and correctly." Although he pretends to be complets'y indifferent to the public's attention toward him, he has a genuine fondness of children. He sponsors a Little League team as well as an en- tire Little Tyke League in Mi. NU-WAY Rug (Oshawa) Ltd, CARPET SALES PROFESSIONAL RUG CLEANING ond FURNITURE 54 CHURCH ST.

A bachelor, tains he just never has given marriage a serious thought. "I don't know whether I would be able to accept a life other than the one I live," he said. "Marriage would mean a tre- mendous transition. I would have to make a lot of adjust- ments and re-evaluations." Noted for his tiffs with news- paper men, Hartack couldn't re- sist a parting shot at his spar- mates: "In a way it's fortunate for all concerned that I'm not mar- ried. No matter what they say about me, I can take it. But if I had a wife, this criticism would be bound to upset her, and I wouldn't sit still for that. If you think I'm vehement now, it's nothing to what I'd be if 1 were married." Hartack main- THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Mey 30,1964 43 MOHAWK RACEWAY RESULTS" 3.30/Clennen Boy Gr: .40/Atom, and.
