Meantime, the soccer enthusiast and ex-official has discovered what he terms as a find" right in this immediate area.

ThLs player is Jimmy Pines, presently a resident of Pembroke, who played seven games with Toronto St. Andrews during the latter part of the 1953 season. Pines has been in Canada only seven months, having given up football in the United Kingdom to come here to join his parents.

Several Possibilities Campbell Waiting For Canadiens9 Action By W.

R. Wheatley Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL Clarence Campbell, whom the public has linked with Maurice Richard as a key figure in the current hockey furore, for the time being at least, is able to view the situation with considerable detachment. absolute powers in the running of it? If he had them, he could ruin the people in the business. "It is a well established principle on this continent that people who have a financial stake in a project have the right to say how it shall be run." Certainly, says Campbell, he has no such powers as were given the late Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis when Landis became takeahle implication that it belonged in the Forum in the first place. The Responsibility "The primary responsibility for control and discipline of players is with the club," says Campbell.

"If the club approved, or even condoned, the action of its employes, then the issue is not with the employe but with the club. No right-thinking person could Added Feature Andy O'Brien Writes For Citizen's Readers Readers who delight in a good behind-! he-scenes yarn about sport have a new Ottawa Citizen treat in store for them. Starting next Saturday when The Cit'zcn includes Weekend Picture Magazine and 16 pages of colored comics in its regular Saturday edition, Andy O'Brien's colorful writing will become regular end-of-thc-week fare for Citizen readers. "It implied nothing of the kind. You're taking something out of context.

Remember, the rules provide for any illegal use of the stick, although, it is traditional you don't club a fellow who has no stick." Campbell says he never fraternizes with players, coaches, club officials or governors of the NHL. "This doesn't mean I am unfriendly with them, but I have no social relations with any of them not one." Initial Case The Richard affair is the first of its kind ever to come before Campbell, who has had to contend with hockey problems dating back to his refereeing days in amateur hockey. There were As a credential. Pines carries a release from the Scottish Football Association, and is anxious to play in this vicinity next summer. Any club officials interested might contact George Birnie, at 195 Gladstone Avenue.

On the other side is the famous, fiery Rocket, one of the most capable and colorful performers the game has ever produced, a clean-living player, who still is a brilliant star in his 12th commissioner of baseball following the 1919 Black Sox scandal. "Nobody in baseball or any sport has had his powers since," says Campbell. "The need then was not so much for administrative ability as unquestionable probity. The Head Man feel a junior employe should be held accountable for an action or policy expressed or implied by the employers." Whatever twists the situation may take from here on, the hardworking little man who has built up the Canadiens' organization tremendously in the last seven years is the fellow on a tough spot.

Selke has been bedevilled for a year by one problem after campaign with Montreal Cana times he had to be escorted from the rink. In 1941, in Trail, B.C., hostile fans formed lines along a corridor and out of the rink to a nearby hotel. No police were on "Landis undoubtedly made it a condition he should have absolute powers.

Campbell Speaks While the whole explosive situation more or less marks time, it is interesting to know Campbell's present personal opinion of Richard. "From the first time I saw him I have had nothing but admiration for his playing ability," says Campbell. "Moreover, he has on all occasions, as far as I know, conducted himself in a manner that could not do other Anay, wno writes about anything from the Grey Cup to chasing barracudas, is truly an international sports writer.

Bullfights. World Series, hockey he knows and loves them all. Was War Correspondent Andy O'Brien, sports editor of Weekend Picture Magazine, was one of the four original Canadian war correspondents to sail with the First Canadian Division in 1939. Since the war "ne has concentrated on sports, including the 1948 Olympic Games In England. He was born in Renfrew, Ont, His la Ls father was a major league trainer for 35 years, ranging from the Renfrew Millionaires to Les Canadiens and baseball's Brooklyn Dodgers.

A graduate of Montreal's Loyola College, Andy played there with the 1928 Dominion championship football team as hand. Campbell marched between the lines with a skate in each hand. Nothing happened. He refereed in the NHL from 1936 to 1939. In the 1937 playoffs Dit Clapper, of Boston Bruins, clipped Dave Trottier, of Montreal Maroons with his stick.

"It looked as if Clapper would follow up with his fists." says Campbell. "I intervened to prevent any blows, because I had seen Trottier was hurt. Perhaps it wasn't obvious to Clapper I got punched over the eye by Clapper. istrative." On the basis of published comment from responsible sources among clubs around the circuit, there is no reason to believe Campbell does not have the support of the league governors in the present case. Personally he feels the same way.

Incidentally, Campbell thinks the public had the wrong impression about any appeal that might have risen from his decision in the stick-swinging af Here Ami Thrrr A couple of new distinctions came Ben Hogan's way yesterday. The Metropolitan Golf Writers Association put a new trophy into competition, in the form of an annual award. This will carry Ben Hogan's name, and will go to "a person who has overcome a handicap in order to play golf and thus has proved an inspiration to others." His second citation came when an Associated Press poll saw him named as the Professional Athlete of the Year. Things are shaping up for another rousing Junior City League playoff series. St.

Pat's boosted their stock as favorites for this year's title with that 4-1 win over Eastview-St. Charles last night. The teams have met four times in the season's schedule, with the Cells winning twice and the other two games tied. This Campbell's move forces Selke to deal with The Rocket, the idol of thousands and thousands of fans, particularly in Montreal. It's about as tough a situation as being asked to consider shooting Santa Claus.

Wnat Action? At the same time, Campbell, or the NHL governors, if forced to take some direct action, will undoubtedly have to consider the public. The field would be large but, of necessity, would include Montreal. If Campbell himself has to take punitive action, he will act under section 17, clause three, of the NHL bylaws. It says: than enhance the prestige of hockey." The public, however, is asking right now: what can or will Campbell do1 More to the immediate point is what has Campbell done0 When Richard cut loose in his bylined newspaper column with sizzling criticism of Campbell, at the same time he figuratively de Andy O'Brien Fine For Clapper fair involving Bernie 'Boom Boom) Geoffrion and Ron Murphy. Canadiens' management derided against an appeal to the Governors, but in any event it would not have been an appeal in the generally understood sense.

Under the bylaws, says Campbell, the Governors would decide only if the president had exercised his powers in accordance with Hie constitution and well as being an active heavyweight boxer.

He has written sport movie scripts and given a icriei of lectures on sports writing at McGill University. eery Saturday Now To keep abreast of the sports news and what is.

"If, in the opinion of the president, based on such information and reports as he may deem sufficient, any act or conduct of any official, or a member club, or "I gave him a major penalty, which exhausted the playing time, and reported the incident to President Frank Calder. I refused to give Clapper a match penalty we had no game-misconduct then. I considered Clapper had punched me by accident. Calder fined Clapper $100 a heavy fine in those days and let him continue in the series." Campbell, who is still a bachelor, was born July 9, 1905, in Fleming Sask.

His father is still posited a powder keg at the door of the NHL offices. Campbell's first move was to throw away all matches. Then he gingerly carried the keg to the Montreal Forum. There he handed it over to Frank Selke, Canadiens' managing director, for disposition, and with the unmls- is the first time In recent years that the Eastview club has not topped the standing at the conclusion of the regular league schedule. Today's International Baseball League meeting in New York Is not expected to be a drawn-out affair.

President Frank Shaughnessy has the opinion that league matters may be cleaned up in the course of an afternoon session. Admission of Richmond and Havana, formally, as league members will be the big order of business. Robert Maduro, the baseball man from Havana, is reported to have personally satisfied any monetary settlement necessary tor his club to be released from the Florida International League. He also has plans for giving the Cuban fans a top-ranking team. American players will be added to the Cubans already with the club, and they will have a new nickname of the "Sugar Operations are under way in a somewhat restricted manner at the Granite Club of West Ottawa, with four sheets of ice in play.

Should a fine not be paid within 10 days of imposition, the president, in addition, may order a Just A Manager That clause gives Campbell wide jurisdictional and punitive power, but he insists his position is more that of a general manager than a president. "The NHL President is fprbid-den to have any financial interest in the league." he says. "How, then, could he be vested with sport recreation to curling.
