SPORT Playing the Field Royals Open Arc Light Season Tonight at Stadium 18 Ottawa All-Star Hockey Team VanCuykNamed Greco to Answer Questions Johnny Greco and his eounsei, Louis DeZwlrek, who Is sometimes referred to along Jacobs Beach as "Louie the Lawyer," have taken off for Manhattan where they will be asked to answer some questions in connection with the district attorney's probe into boxing. It was learned on Saturday that a representative of District Attorney Frank Hognn was' in the city several days ago to see felt about making tne trip, urecq the middle of his training for his how Johnny -1 was then in 1 I match with Friday. He of be ready to was over. Danny Webb at the Forum last and his advisers told the representative the D.A.'s office that he would make the visit as soon as the fight It has been written elsewhere over the week-end that Greco was matched with Webb for a quick ballyhoo drive lo get him back into Madison Square Garden, which is hardly the case.

The trio is currently helping Detroit to stay in first place in the American League.

Defeats Wembley London, May 18. CB Ottawa All-Stars turned on the heat Sat urday night and soundly walloped Wembley team of Canadians 10-2 in an exhibition hockey game before 10.000 sweltering fans at the North London rink.

It was a walk over from the two-minute mirk for the touring All-Stars when blonde Eddie Slowinskt scored the first of his four goals. Defeated 4-3 in their first same on iirltish ire May 4 in 73-cleree heat, the All-Stars buckled down to hard practice and demonstrated they are a powerful club Saturday even in baseball weather. The Ottawa club didn't let up during the game. The winders backchecked and the defence dished out bodychecks that were al most a rarity in the came as play ed in Britain. The visitors were out to avenge thoir first-game de feat and they didn't give Wembley a chance to get organized.

Dawes Returned nr. dm rrestaent A. Sidney Dawes, president of the Canadian Amateur Ski Association, was re-elected to that post Saturday afternoon at the annual meeting of the C.A.S.A. here in Montreal. It is almost certain that the 1948 Canadian ski championships will be held at Banff, Alberta.

February 26, 27, 28 and 29. Members of the Eastern District indicated their assurance that the Dominion meet would be held at the famous Canadian winter and summer resort in the final week of February. The C.A.S.A. also announced that the Eastern and Central District meets would be conducted by the Laurentian and St. Maurice Valley Zones on consecutive week-ends in the middle of February.

The Te-miskaming, Ski Club will be the scene of the Northern Ontario District meet, also in the middle of February. The C.A.S.A. expressed the hope that members of Canada's 1948 Olympic ski team would return to this country immediately after the oi. munu BKi ciHSMU to iuie pitiiia in the North American and Dominion meets. Canada's hickory hustlers should be all through at Switz-zerland by February 9.

There is a strong indication that the United States will hold the North American meet next year, with Canada playing host the following season. John R. Houghton, chairman of the Technical Board read the board's report to the large gathering. A report was also presented on the Olympic situation for the benetit of club members. Houghton's report contained the recommendation that the C.A.S.A.

accept the application of the Ski Runners of the Canadian Rockies to hold the Canadian meet at beautiful Banff. The meeting also brought up the possibility of developing standard trails to rate the competitors and the possible suspension of the four-way combined title in national championships. One of the out-of-town delegates, Paul Desilets of Three Rivers, atat- with five lose a so a CUBS -INDIANS TRIM YANKS Tribe Garners 12 Hits As Feller Triumphs johnny Greco out of the Garden is the suspicion that he has an undercover manager. His managers of record are Frankie Doyle and Pete Audctte. Undoubtedly he will be asked if anyone else is active in his management, as has often been reported.

He is ii) exactly the same position as a good many other boxers who have already been summoned for questioning. The way won't be open for his return to the Garden until the facts about his management have been cleared up to the satisfaction of the district attorney's office and the New York State Athletic Commission. Webb was badly overmatched on Friday so badly that it was no kind of a fight. Danny and his manager, Harry Sheppard, would badly have taken it if they hadn't already committed themselves in a private commercial venture which required some ready scratch. They needed the money and that was the fastest way to get it.

There were rumors before the fight that little Danny had been flattened in the gym by fellows who are only preliminary boys as yet. But those rumors seem to circulate before every fight, which makes them hard to believe. Yet the way he fought Friday makes them seem plausible in retrospect. His victories over Gus Mell and Dave Castiloux made it look as though he might have a chance with Greco and that was justification for the match. Webb is much too easy to hit.

He can't go In with a belter like Greco, give away all that weight and expect to make a fight of it. He will have now to return to his own division to regain any prestige he may have lost. A Great First Baseman Passes Hal Chse, one of the greatest first basemen of all time, died in California yesterday. He was also one of baseball's most mysterious figures. He made his reputation with the New York Yankees (then the Highlanders) between 1905 and 1913.

Old-timers say he was in a class by himself as a fielder and that It was his performances which finally convinced baseball men that a left-hander had a great advantage over a right-handed thrower in the position. He was particularly adept at fielding bunts and spoiling attempts to move base-runners up through the medium of the sacrifice. They say he came in so fast that he often fielded bunts on the third base side of the diamond; he was there ahead of the third baseman or the pitcher. A story they still tell about him concerns Napoleon (Larry) Lajoie. a free-swinger at the plate if ever there was one.

The New York and Cleveland clubs were engaged in one of those ball games where one run was going to decide the issue. Chase had already made a couple of remarkable plays to break up attempted sacrifices, and this time Lajoie decided to crass him up. As Chase came dashing in for the expected bunt, Lajoie took a toehold and the ball streaked off his bat on a line right at Chases head. But fast as the ball was travelling. Chase was even farter.

He got his glove up in time to make a startling one-hand catch, then wheeled and doubled the runner off first. Old-timers used to pick him as their all-time all-star in the position ur.Ll Lou Gehrig came along. Chase was a timely hitter but nothing like the slugger that Gehrig was, and the latter replaced him on most of those all.time all-star teams. Unfortunately he developed a penchant for the society of shady characters, and he was finally run out of baseball when his connection with gamblers was proved. Around and About Leonforte.

owned by Jimmy Coleman, and Tularch, owned by George McCuIlagh, both won in the King's Plate trial at the Woodbine last Saturday and will be the favorites in the big race next Saturday. Jimmy is the sports columnist of the Globe Mail while George McCuIlagh is the publisher and hence his boss, which makes a very interesting situation. Don Lund, an outfielder the Royals hoped to get from the Dodgers, has been sent to the St. Paul Saints on 24-hour recall. A story from Pittsburgh has Jackie Robinson picking Hank Greenberg as his diamond hero.

They collided at first base in the current series and the next time Robinson reached that base Greenberg asked him if he'd been hurt. Assured that Jackie was unharmed, Greenberg said, 'Slick in there. You're doing fine. Keep your -chin up." Jackie later commented, "Class tells. It sticks out all over Mr.

Greenberg." Tommy Gorman has a colored player at third base on his Ottawa Nationals in the Border League named Johnny Russian, whom he secured from Little Rock in the Southern Association. He is already reported to have refused an offer for from an Liternational League club. The Hart Trophy winner is expected to be announced by N.H.L. headquarters this week. Your guess is as good ss the next fellow's, but Milt Schmidt and Maurice Richard ere reported to top the list.

i I I i i i I Club by 10-2 Slowinskl, 215-pound ripht winger chosen to play for last year, was the star of the night his fgur goals and one assist. Johnny Lafortune, 19-ytar-oId left winger, scored three goals and was credited with an assist and the other marksmen were Lowell Craig Ralph Hurley and frank Mathers. The All-Stars' two centre ice men -Billy Watson and Frank Turlk played hends-up games. Each got three assists and broke un many threatening Wembley attacks. The game was rough throughout with sticks carried high bu only penalties were handed out, three to Ottawa and the others to Wembley.

Ottawa plays 11 more games at Wembley before returning to Canada in July- and if Saturday's affair is any criterion they will not another. Yeidux In Senior Lacrosse Scoring five goals In the last period Ctfughnawaga-St. Regis- Indians defeated Verdun Shamrocks 12-8 last night in a Quebec Senior Lacrosse League game payed at the Verdun Auditorium. Cose to 2.0C0 fans saw the action-packed tilt that brought all the thrills of the newfound boxla game. Ray Ouimct and Jim Burns paced the visitors with three goals apiere while Morris with two, Angus Thomas, Louis Sunday, George Hemlock and Al Rice were the other scorers.

Roger Delkle played neat passing game for the Indians and airjed in three of their goals. Marcel Valois and Hal Grice led the Shamrocks' atfnck with two goals each while Charlie Phillips scored a single tnlly and aided in four others. Laydcn, Cantin. r. Nault were other scorers for the home team.

Next game in the league is scheduled for Wednesday night at La-chine Arena, replacing the fixture originally set for Friday. Quebec Montagnards, defeated only once far this season, take cn tae Indians in what promises to ce crowd-pleasing match. Last night's go was one of the best seen so far this season at the Auditorium with the last-place Verdun crew outshooting the Indians throughout the opening periods. It was ene-all at the first-quarter mark with the Shamrocks goal ahead 4-3 going into the third session. ed that his city was practically assured of a new ski jump for 1943.

Such a move permit the home club skiers to practice right in Three Rivers instead of going elsewhere as i3 the current practice. purW.TiiYjr ttt t.t, PARTS 5ERVICI SALES Reo-Montreal Motors'' Diiinbutort 4 4290 St. Catherine St. Wit 2 Insurance Exchange Bldg. 281 St.

Catherine St. To Pitch Tonight Rained out of their Sunday dou- bleheader against the Rochester Red Wings at the Stadium yesterday afternoon, the Royals will onen the -arc light season with the Red Wings tonight. Tne game is scheduled to start at 8.30 p.m. It was the first Sunday twin bill that the Royals haven't been able to play since they came home at the end of last month, but it is going to put them well behind last year's attendance figures. h4 Ed Ileusser "As of Saturday we were already about 7,000 in- arrears over the same period a year ago," said Guy Moreau, or the Royals front office.

'We drew about 18.000 on our third Sunday last season and that puts us approximately 25,000 behind." Yesterday was the second con secutive day that the Royals were inactive. Peter Campbell, president of the Toronto Maple Leafs, called off last Saturday night's game there on account ot cold weather. The Royals report that it wasn't spe cially cold; not as cold as it was cn Thursday when thev opened the series there. But the Leafs have now fallen out of the first division and their descent has been gaining momentum. The Royals shut them out on Thursday, 4-0, and again on Friday, 9-0.

The Toronto president ap pears to have made up his mind to postpone the game and play it at a later date when his club may be strengthened. Manager Clay Hopper stated last night that he plans to start Johnny Van Cuyk against the Wings tonight. The young righthander who set a strikeout record with Fort Worth in the Texas League last season, will be gunning for his second win of the year. said that he will probably use his two veteran flingers, Ed Heusser and Al Gerheauser tomorrow and Wednesday. Al Campanis, who has been shelv ed with a sore back since the Royals moved into Toronto last Thursday, is expected to be back at his regular post at second base.

Tonight will be the to reintroduce Ed Stevens, who has replaced Lou Ruchser at first base, to the Xans. Always a long-oaa hit ter, Ed has been moved into the clean-up spot. Mel Jones, general manager of the club, announced last night that X.ou Ruchser has been shipped out to Greenville in the Sally League. The Red Wings have a new man ager this year in Cedric Durst, who has succeeded Benny Borg- mann. This will be his first ap pearance here as pilot of the Roch ester club.

Prince Hal Dies Colusa, May 18. Hal Chase, one of the greatest first basemen in baseball's history, died at Colusa Memorial Hospital today after a long illness.

He was 64. Dr. Joseph E. Tillotson attributed death to heart and kidney ailments, complicated by age. Chase had been in the hospital since last March.

"Prince Hal," as he became known in the sports world, entered organized baseball in Los Angeles in 1904. The following year, Clark Griffith, then manager of the Yankees, took him to New York where he stayed until 1913 when he went to Chicago White Sox. Subsequently he played with Buffalo Federals and Cincinnati Reds. He concluded his major league career in 1919 with New York Giants. He was then 37.

The Dodgers combined three hits with Jour walks to win the game. Pee Wee Reese opened with a walk, Tom Brown singled and Eddie Sanky beat out a bunt to fill the bases. Jackie Robinson, whose hitting streak was stopped at 14 straight games, fanned and then Pete Reiser dropped a pop fly double down the left field line to score Reese and After Furilla was purposely passed, Stanky scored on Dixie walker's infield out. Another inten tional pass and then an unintentional one to Bruce Edwards forced across the fourth run. Ilutrh Casey hurled the last three rounds to preserve Hatten's fourth victory.

The Reds had counted one in the opening round. Ewell Blackwell notched his fifth win against one less in scattering nine Boston hits in the opener.
