gymnasium on Wednesday night, this shows Alf Horn, on the left, winner of the title, against a rival. Horn recently won the provincial men's foil championship. 0 NORTH SOUTH Ottawa, March 21. CF Perth Blue Wings defeated Charlottetown Rovals 11-2 here tonight to sweep the'ir Memorial Cup junur hockey series in two games and enter the Eastern Canada scmi-fina against the Quebec provincial champions. Perth won the first gane of th best-of-three series 7-2.

From the start the never was in doubt. As, in the previous fixture, the Lanark Couaty outfit poured on so much spcec tnat the Royals were forced to de end their own zone most of the tim. leaving only the odd moment here and there for offensive rusher. The first period left Perth ahead 3-1. The Blue Wings were ahead 7-2 in the second frame and breezed on to score four more markers in the last frame.

For a few minutes early in the first period it looked as though RovaLs had taken a vase from the Perth book of tactics. They moved 4 up live acittiat iu me ouc ni'iw blucline but reverted to their former lusty, hard-bumping game after being caught flatfooted for two quick goals while short-handed. Bud Goodfcllow, Stan Rooke and Jack (Red) Eagan notched period counters for the Wings, and Bucko Trainor gained the lone Roval goal of the period. Tony Licari came in for two goals in the second period with Irish O'Gorman and Rooke providing the other Blue Wings' counters. Jack Coyle notched the last Royal tally mid-way in the period.

From the start of the third period Perth rained shots on Goalie Earl (Boots) Boates of Charlottetown and fired four past him. Eagan, Blondin and Licari. with two goals, accounted for the devastation of the last period when the Royals, pressing hard md never giving up, were outlucked on all their rushes at the Perth net. Time and again their rushes carried them in close. Each time Goalie Paul Lessard blocked them off or the marksmen's own over anxiousness caused them to fire wide.

They announced a pinch-hitter but the name wasn't very clear in the rumble of noise that was sweeping the little Baltimore ball-park. Porter seemed a bit nervous and Rabbit Maranville was getting ready to yank him, especially after he threw two balls. Then Bob bore down and three straight strikes whistled over the plate, retiring the pinch batsman. The next man up flied out. ending the game and bringing Royals their first win of the season.

When it was all over a team-mate went up to Porter and asked him if he knew the identity of the pinch-hitter he had fanned. "Sure," replied Bob, "that was the Baltimore third-base coach." He was right. It was the Balti more third-base coach. But the Baltimore third-base coach happen ed to be Kogers ilornsby, one of the greatest right-hand hitters the game of baseball has ever known. Nobody has found out to this day it Porter knew it was rlornsby, but this correspondent for one suspects Bob wasn't so dumb as he let on.

Because the baseball pitcher who wouldn't recognize Horrisby, especially with the baes loaded, hasn't shown up yet. Those things just don happen. Oh Yeah? Conny Smythe leave it to him comes up with one of the most novel explanations these ears have ever heard in a somewhat belated discussion of Chicago Black Hawks' Stanley Cup victory of two years ago. Alter reading the explanation, we can understand why it took Conny two years to think it up. Conny told the story to Ralph Allen, of the Toronto Globe and Mail.

You remember, that was the year when Stewart piloted the Hawks to victory over Toronto in the finals after Chicago had barely evaded elimination at the hands of Canadiens in the opening round. It was in the third game, with the series tied at a win apiece, that it happened, according to Smythe. Doc Romanes took a two-handed cut at Red Horner's head and the whizzing stick just grazed Horner's noggin. Here's what Conny says: "Red went down. He was shaken all right but all he needed was a minute rest or two to come out of it.

And that's where our strategy rebounded. Dick Irvin took a look at Horner as he came to the bench and ordered him to the dressing-room. "It looked like good psychology to Dick he thought it would put a load of extra fire into the rest of the Leafs if they thought Red was badly hurt. I'm not criticizing Dick now, after all. I suppose it might have worked, but if ever a piece of psychology backfired that was it.

"The Hawks saw Red leaving the bench, although they suspected he wasn't seriously injured. and promptly concluded little Romnes had made one of the greatest fight ers Hi hockey quit. "We got Red back there within five minutes, but by then the damage had been done. Stewart had been telling the Hawks from the start they could beat the Leafs by out-lighting them and out toughing them, but I don't think they really believed it until they saw our top keep-puncher disappear. From then on they were twice as tough as they set out to be and about 10 times as confident." So there you have it Smythe's answer to the critics who said Tor onto could have beaten the Hawks with half the team in hospital and the other half on a south-seas (Voyage that year.

Of course, it must be mere coin cidence that the' explanation was made only the day before Chicago was to meet Toronto at Toronto in the first game of their 1940 Stsnley Cup playoff series. Of course not. KILIAN-O'BRIEN AHEAD Hold Sprint Edge in Six-Day Bike Race Columbus, March 21.

Which is something that has al ways puzzled us about baseball people. Some corners claim them to be the smartest sporting men in the world and they may be at that, but this correspondent has never cea.ved to be amazed at the things tney do.

We are reminded of the intro duction to the International League that was given Mr. Porter down in Baltimore in 19:18.

New York, March 21. (A) Terms of a proposed new licensing con tract to be offered broadcasters by the American Society of Compos ers, Authors and Publishers tonight brought a response from radio interests that the provisions demanded "a 100 per cent increase in the payments." Under the new terms, which would be effective January 1 and i were made public today, radio sta tions would pay royalties for broadcasting Ascap-controlled songs according to the size of the indivi dual stations and the scope of their programs. Under the new Ascap formula radio stations would be divided into four divisions ranging from a small individual station whose gross annual business was $50,000 or lc5.s to nationwide networks whose "primary business is not the operation of a station but the sale of advertising and supply of programs." In the case of the major networks the royalties for use of Ascap songs would be per cent, of what the sponsor pays for his program. Neville Miller, president of the National Association of Broadcasters, declared the Ascap proposal would require "broadcasters to pay a percentage of all broadcasting revenue, even that obtained for programs which do not utilize Ascap music, such as news broadcasts, sports events and programs of classical music. The broadcasting industry will be unified in resisting demands." The present contract expires December 31.

Ascap. a non-profit organization of composers to protect the copyrights and collect the royalties for their songs, controls approximately 90 per cent, of all popular music. The broadcasters have set up a i competitive organization. Broad cast Music, but it f.iccs the problem that practically all established composers are already members of Ascap. Miller said the broadcasters paid $5,900,000 a year in royalties to Ascap.

(JP) Ben Hogan, Texas-born pro from White Plains, N.Y., scored the first major tournament victory of his golf career today when he won the $1,000 prize in the North-South open championship with a 72-hole score of 277.

Leader since the start of the competition, when he fired a six-un-der-par 66 in the first round to tie the competitive course record. Hogan came home in the last threesome before a gallery of 3,000. His 277 gave him a new record for 72 holes of competition over Pinch urst's No. 2 course since the introduction of gras.i greens in 1934. Vic Ghczzi held the former mark of 279, set in 193S.

Sam Snead's 67, oh top of a third-round 73, gnve him second place with 280 and second money place with Zu and second money, of $600. Third, at 236 on a closing! 70. was National Onen chamoion Byron Nelson, who won here last year, while Johnny Revolta rallied for a par 72 and fourth place at 287. Gene Sarazen and Jug McSpad-en, Canadian Open champion, were bracketed at 288. Dick Metz stood at 290 and at 291 were brothers George and Henry Picard.

Vic Ghezzi, Harry Cooper and Lloyd Mangum. Hogan, with Clayton Heafner and Revolta. was in the last threesome of the day. Up ahead of him were Snead and Sarazen, who were tied for second place after 54 holes with 213 strokes, six back of the White Plains pro. Sarazen faded out of the competitive picture with a closing 75 that pushed him dbwn to a tie for fifth place.

But Sncad wasn't wavering. The hard-hitting sholmakcr from Shaw-nec-on-Delaware. turned on the hottest round he'd had to date. Slugging the ball for all he was worth, he came to the 18th green and rammed home a 20-foot putt for a 67. That put the pressure squarely on the 140-pound Hogan's shoulders.

But Ben responded nobly. The iron shots that had been dropping just short in the morning were splitting the pin. Those iron shots gave him a three-foot putt for a birdie on the third hole; a four-foot putt for another on the fifth, and brought him home in two on the par-five 16th for another birdie. Since he had'bogeyed the eighth, that meant Ben needed only to finish par par to cut two strokes off the tournament record set bv Vic Ghezzi in 1938. That's just the way he did finish.

Even on the home green he tried boldly for a birdie he missed it by inches when he could have been conservative without criticism.
