TOUR Btttl atch af Inlis Jamiglnmig iesfr Hovlin then contacted United Press International in Chicago and asked them to find Paige. By 1 p.m. yesterday, an hour before game-time, Howarth was so worried he was close to gastritis. Fans were showing up at the park and everything was ready except the main attraction.

At that moment, Howarth's phone rang and a small voice said, "This is Leroy Paige. I'm In Moose Head. I mean Moose Jaw. I just read a Vancouver paper and it says I'm s'posed to pitch there today and I don't think I can make It." Howarth, controlling himself admirably, merely asked why. "I think someone's mixed up," admitted Paige, "but I can make it next Sunday." Still resisting the urge to shriek and kick things, Howarth said, "Thank you, next Sunday will be fine," and announced to the 1,000 fans in the stands that the game was postponed for one week.

But such is Paige's lure that only eight fans asked for their money back. Howarth remained optimistic. "We'll stay loose till Sunday," he said jangllngl.V playing at weddings, wakes, harvest-feasts and tanktown tournaments. Satch would pitch every day. He was supposed to pitch In Vancouver Sunday but he didn't.

He had been scheduled to pitch In Kelowna Friday, in Kamloops Thursday and in Kimberley Wednesday but he didn't. He is supposed to pitch in Bellingham tonight but he won't. Why? Because the jangling in Moose Jaw apparently was so good that Satchel forgot about his schedule. About 400 advance tickets had been sold for Sunday's Paige vs. Duffs game at Capilano Stadium.

Sunday morning, stadium manager Ken Howarth, alarmed that he hadn't heard from Paige, phoned Beloit, 111., and contacted Satchel's manager, Dempsey Hovlin. Hovlin was shocked. "I left them In Swift Current, and they were headed for Kimberley. What's more, Life Magazine was going to meet them in Kimberley, follow them all through B.C. and give us a million bucks worth of publicity." By DENNY BOYD Leroy "Satchel" Paige has been quoted as saying the way to a long, uncomplicated life is to "Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move." Sunday, Satchel tended to his juices by jangling gently around Moose Jaw, while baseball fans in Vancouver and three other B.C.

cities steamed, long distance telephone lines hummed, a wire service conducted a cross-Canada search and a writer-photographer team from Life magazine tramped through B.C.'s boondocks, cursing baseball. It is doubtful if ever before in the history of Organized Baseball have four games created such a furore without being played. Paige is the Methuselah of baseball. He is 60, give a decade or two either way, and has been pitching baseballs for most of those years. After a brief fling at flinging In the major leagues, he went back to his original calling, barn-storming.

Lions had a ridiculously easy time beating the Saskatchewan Roughriders 40 0 here Wednesday night in an exhibition game. It was no game to make book on. But Ottawa Rough Riders are expected to improve on the Brand foothall the Saskatchewan Roughriders displayed. Frank Clair's Ottawa club comes to town this week for an Empire Stadium exhibition game Thursday night. Ottawa still has tough-minded Frank Clair at the helm and that means a physically-hard, well-drilled team.

It still has the nucleus of one of the roughest defensive squads in the east and, from reports, the offensive team is being sparked by a new import quarterback named Tommy Lee. Ottawa scored a 31-29 victory over defending Grey Cup champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers last week, after having lost an earlier exhibition to Calgary Stam peders. Lions' coach Dave Skrien has one regret about this game he still has to experiment with his lineup. "We had hoped to go Into this game with the lineup we would start the season with. But now that we have lost Jim Carphin, we have to keep experimenting." (Canadian tight end Carphin was told by doctors last week to take a year off from football because of an offseason attack of hepatitis.) It has been said that when you lose a first-string Canadian, you have to move three other people to plug the gap.

And, as a result of Car-phin's loss, Skrien will experiment on a mass scale. First of all, split end Pat Claridge again akes over Carphin's tight end.

Junior Claycourts Tournament at the Jericho Club. Loyo-Mayo flashed the Latin finesse in the singles match to easily defeat Don McCormick of Victoria in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, 6-2. He combined a powerful service with a neat series of lobs that left the determined young McCormick both frustrated and helpless. But Loyo-Mayo's sweep of events ended in the mixed doubles when he and Ardis Savard of Vancouver were upset by Bob Puddicombe and Hedy Rutzebeck 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. Vicki Berner did her bit to preserve some of the silver for Canadians.

Miss Berner, just back from the European circuit, won the under-18 singles final after out -lasting Brenda Nunns of Toronto 8-6, 6-2.

Boros, who might have blown the top prize with a misjudged wedge shot on the 72nd hole, fired a closing 34-3367, after rounds of 72-67-74. Palmer, who had shared the 54-hole lead with Sammy Snead at 207, faltered with a closing 73 for his 280. The pressure was on Palmer after Boros, playing two threesomes ahead, and Nicklaus, one threesome ahead, had posted their closing rounds. Palmer had par beat by six strokes until he collapsed to successive bogeys on the 69th and 70th holes.
