WORLD Twins Cr4 OF SPORT '9 FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1966 'PAGE 15 ea ba 2 i r-s Cs eM 1 -tit fa Associated Press i' Si-. ml Hal WALKER Herald Sports Editor COOL RECEPTION: The Committee On One League, which the Canadian Football Ltaguo charged with finding ways of making our nine pro football teams one happy family got a real cool reception at recent meetings in the East the theory of COOL in its original concept was work out a plan for gate pmiali7atinn ennal sharincr of television Teceints the boys were full of togetherness, the the let's stick together gambit, and keep- the old flag flying, and all that sort of stuff until CTV gave the meeting a breakdown of yH, t-'i'V-A'': RACING REFLECTIONS. The reflections are winning as runners come out of the corner in the relay at the Toronto Secondary Schools Athletic Association meet finals. Jim Inman (right) was the winner of this wet duel. (CP photofax) would mean to East and West for the next three seasons the Eaittrn Confortnco sold its rights for that period for $1,425,000, which works out to $118,750 per team per season the Wtstern teams sold rights to CTV for a reported million dollars that's; $66,666 yearly for each team the East doesn't like the idea of giving away money to their Prairie brothers so they are now trying to defer the COOL television bite until 1969 because, they insist the teevee deal was in the works before the COOL idea was launched.

MUNICH HAS MOOLA Small wonder that Montreal lost out in its bid for the 1972 Olympic Sum-mer Games the Canadians submitted a brief to the International Olympic Committee, it comes out now, that it would expend $15,000,000 to stage the spectacle Munich, which won out, set its budget at $140,000,000 Now, it develops, Munich through the West German government, is prepared to spend $400,000,000, the extra money going to build new super highways, subways and new buildings which will revert to the people after the Olympics are over This is becoming an accepted practice for countries that win the Summer Olympics, but none will probably ever equal the spending the Japanese did in staging the best of all Olympics in Tokyo in 1964 The Mike McCormick, 27, the appeared to be washed up his stuff. He pitched a four-hitter ton Senators whipped Cleve- land Indians for the second straight night, 7-2. The left-hander evened his record at 3-3 and hit a long home run during a three-run Senator rally in the fifth inning. It was McCormick's fifth hit in 14 swings this season and that's two more safeties than he managed in 41 tries last year. Ed Brinkman and Dick Nen also homered for Washington, Brinkman's shot preceding McCormick's in the fifth.

Luis Tiant, 3-2, was the victim of the long ball display. In other American League games, Minnesota Twins nipped Chicago White Sox 4-3 in 10 innings with charges of beanballs exchanged by both sides, and Boston Red Sox downed Baltimore Orioles 3-1. Tony Oliva's 10th inning double drove home Minnesota's winning run as the Twins won their fifth straight. Jimmie Hall had tied the game for Minnesota with a ninth inning homer. The beanball accusations grew out of a third inning exchange of hit batsmen.

After Chicago's J. C. Martin had homered in the top the third, Al Weis was hit in the back by a Jim Perry pitch. BUZHARDT HIT PERRY Then Perry, leading off in the bottom of the third, was hit just above the elbow on his right pitching arm by John Buzhardt. a definitely was throwing at Perry and I say he was under orders to do it," said Minnesota manager Sam Mele.

Eddie Stanky, manager of the White Sox, answered: "I have never told a pitcher to throw at a hitter in my life before a ball game. But when my hitter gets hit on the uniform number, and he's hitting .120. Boston's Jim Lonborg pitched 6 2-3 innings of strong relief as the Red Sox beat the Orioles for the second straight night. Lonborg pitched out of a bases loaded jam by getting Dave Johnson on a double play ball in the first He pitched hit-less ball until the sixth when Baltimore again loaded the bases on two hits and a walk but Lonborg got Johnson on a fly ball, 'ending the threat. Tony Conlgllaro started a two-run Boston rally in the second with a single and then homered in the seventh.

Koufax pitched a three-hitter his first shutout and sixth victory of the season as Los Angeles Dodgers defeated San Francisco Giants 4-0 Thursday night. Wills beat out two infield singles, stole two bases and scored the first two Dodger In other National League games, St.

Louis Cardinals blanked Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 and Chicago Cubs whipped Houston Astros 7-1. Rain washed out Cincinnati at New York. TYPICAL GAME 7 The game against the Giants was typical of Wills. The 33-year-old shortstop led off the first inning by beating out a grounder to second base for a single. He promptly stole second, moved to third on a ground out and scored as Willie Davis singled.

In the third inning, he again led off with an infield single, this time beating out a high bouncer to the mound. Again he stole second, and this time die scampered home on Jim William's single. i 3 tj i i i MAURY WILLS 16 theft A A 3 Mauryi Helps Sandy, shapes up something like this. From Toronto: Al Balding, Moe Norman, Bill MaWhinney and Alvie Thompson to name a few. Stan Leonard and Lyle Crawford will lead a host of Vancouver pros into action.

The Brothers Homenuik, Stan and Wilf, give Winnipeg ample representation. Defending champion Bob Duden of Portland will be back and with him come other U.S. professionals like Spokane's Harry Umbennetti and Al Feld-man. Calgary Country Club pro Bud Loftus, who tied for the lead with Duden and Crawford a year ago, is returning, of course. So is Canyon Meadows' Frank Fowler, a consistent winner in the tournaments in which he competes.

By BOB TATE Staff Writer When owner E. V. Keith prom ised an improved field tor his star-studded $12,000 Willow Park Pro-Am golf tournament this spring, he wasn't kidding. With 37 of 40 professional spots already picked off and the tournament still almost a month away, the field shapes up as one of the classiest ever assembled in Alberta. Name a Canadian professional worth his salt excepting George Knudson who will be pre-engaged at the U.S.

Open Championships and you'll find him on the Willow Park list. All 120 amateur berths for the June 17-19 tourney have been long-ago filled.

Cliff Shaw. 22, 6'.

220 pounds, a younger brother of all-star Wayne Shaw and a graduate of Saskatoon Hilltops of the Manitoba Saskatchewan Junior ueague, will try for a perman ent linebacker spot. Ted Dushinski, 22, 6', 195 pounds, impressed coaches last season, his first with Roughrid mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmma that he'd be back. Listing the accomplishments of Stan Leonard would not be feasible in this space. Let's just say Leonard is the best known professional Canada has ever produced. Is it any "wonder that the amateur berths were grabbed up quickly? All amateurs wh played a year age were invited back and a draw was held among Willow Part: members to see who would tiJ those in vitations not accepted.

The pros will all go the S4 hole route in quest of the $2,000 first prize. Second place is worth $1,500 and $1,290 goes to tne tmrd place finisher. 100 SUpcr ingUWoyS, CI amviivaw cuiu vt Mowings came out to an expenditure of four billion dollars! KNUDSON 20-1 SHOT In its annual "scratch sheet" on the pros entered in the 1966 United States Open which will be played in San.

Francisco next month, Golf Digest lists Canadian George Knudson as a 20-1 shot to win the former Winnipeger who now plays out of Toronto is listed as "streaky scorer, can get hot" the stringbean slammer is bracketed with some pretty good company at those odds, too other 20-1 shots include Sam Snead, Julius Borot, Bruce Crampton and Miller Barber Bill Caspar is the choice at 4-1 because of his superb putting stroke Gary Player and Doug Sanders are grouped at 6-1, Gene Littler and Arnold Palmer at 7-1 and Jack Nicklaus 8-1 there is an odd notation opposite Arnold Palmer's name "taking his golf seriously again" now, I ask you, when did Arnle Palmer not take his golf seriously? ir SALIVA TEST Jim Brosnan, the pitcher turned author, looks at the much maligned spitball in the current issue of Look and insists that the pitch, despite being tabu and inelegant (on television, horrors!) is still part of the book with some pitchers Brosnan's support for repeal of the spitball legislation is somewhat of a surprise because he had very little success with the pitch the article is laced with anecdotes about many active and recently retired players some of the pitchers' mentioned are Whitey Ford, Don Drysdale, Lou Burdette, Larry Sherry, Orlando Pena and Bob Sadowski it is illustrated by showing the dippy path a ball with saliva or greasy kid stuff from the hurler's hair on it will take but the identity of the pitcher is kept secret why the wet ball delivery hasn't been put back into good standing is somewhat confounding even such baseball men as ex-commissioner Ford Frick have advocated it be made legal. DISA AND DATA Officials of Drumheller Miners, Alberta's new Allan Cup champions, insist that they lost $250 every game of the championship set they played in Foothills Arena they are hopeful that some of their money will come back to them when the CAHA makes a final accounting the Miners lost money on their season's operations, but plan to be back stronger than ever next season the CAHA, incidentally, doesn't allow any more than bare travelling expenses for 21 players and officials when its teams take off on European junkets such as the Miners will do next January despite the fact average attendances at arenas, indoors and out, in Europe, average about 12,000 per game stop action replays will be used for the first time when the Cassiut CJay-Henry Cooper heavyweight title fight is shown on CTV's Wide World Of Sport on Saturday it will be seen here at 2:00 p.m., Calgary time, tomorrow on Channel Four the stop action replays will be shown to illustrate clearly the most meaningful action as well as to point out any controversial issue that may arise during the fight in the event that the fight ends early, a standby show will complete the 90-minute program it will be the first fight, by the way, ever telecast live from Europe to North America. LAYZELL SELECTS FOR TODAY All of Canada's major closed championships have been held by one or more of this group. Balding, winner of the CPGA title last in 1963, was a success ful touring professional until a couple of years back when a shoulder injury forced him to leave the tour on a full-time basis. Along with Norman and Ma Whinney, Balding didn't play at Willow Park in 1965.

Norman, the colorful former Canadian Amateur Champion, lost his amateur status several yean ago for selling the numerous prizes be had accumulated. Then as a pro he was repri manded for various stunts on a golf course that had galleries roaring but not his fellow play ers. Moe maintains some of his humor, though. His arrow- straight game from tee to green should have been worth a large bounty time and again but Norman is a little careless on the greens. Duden, winner of the playoff last year on the second extra hole, is known for the putter that bears his name and is used like a croquet mallet.

Homenuik, the 1965 CPGA Important Meeting Of CAHA Set By AL MeNEIL MONTREAL (CP)-The Ca nadian Amateur Hockey Assoc! ation will hold its annual meet ing here next week and it is expected the thorny question of the association's relationship witn the National Hockey League will come in for further scrutiny. Also on the agenda will be resolution that, if passed, will give Newfoundland membership status in the CAHA, entirely separate from the Maritime Hockey Association. Canada's 10th province is currently oper ating as an independent with no affiliation to any association. The members will also hear a proposal designed to change the registration date for all amateur players from May 31 to Dec. 31, to conform with other sports registrations.

The latter proposal will be sponsored by the Quebec Am a teur Hockey Association. The week-long sessions of the meeting run from Mav 23-27. Last year in Victoria the CAHA voted to end its working agreement with the NHL, signed in 1958. However, the contract contains a clause which requires either side to give two years notice prior to termination. Gordon Juckes of Melville CAHA secretary and manager, is expected to meet with Clarence Campbell, NHL president, to discuss this mat ter.

As it stands, the agreement will terminate in June of next year, instead of 1968. The main stumbling block would appear to be the distri bution of funds paid by the NHL for amateurs drafted to profes sional ranks. The CAHA would like the NHL to turn over the money spent by the pros to the association for distribution, rather than have the money given to the teams from which the play FIRST RACE Pun $1,200 laiming.
