Tr i' i THE LEADER-POST, REGINA, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1960 imp uni pbesecin Loop inctiiii; on weekend at Lethbridge Wayne Tucker signed as Senator manager Abel will keep unit intact tr took the series opener from Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1. Second game of the best of-seven set is scheduled here tonight. Leaf roach Punch Imlach had openly figured on concentrating against tills unit, supposedly the weakest In the Detroit lineup, His theory: check the big guns on the TORONTO (CP) A Detroit Red Wing "notlilng line has suddenly come up with something and could be the key to an upset victory In the Stanley Cup semifinals. The line, made up of freshmen Jerry Melnyk, Len Haley and Val Fonteyne, produced the winning goal Wednesday night as Wings V.ayne Tucker, who played first base and managed the Regma Senators when they performed in the a a i a n-Amerlcan Baseball League last season, has been signed by the club as manager for the coming season. Tucker, long a favorite with baseball fans in western Canada, came to the Senators last year after several seasons at the helm of the Edmonton Eskimos.

The 37-year-old 1 i 1 spent five years in the New York Yankee farm system, playing with Kansas City of the American Association, Beaumont, of the Texas League Junior set resumes tonight Oil Kings coach wasnt surprised and Newark, N.J., of the International League. During hits stint at Edmonton, he guided Ills club to the global vmrH series at Detroit in 1957. The Eskimos lost the title when they were beaten 4-3 in 11 Innings by Japan. Last season, Tucker guided the Senators to a third-place linlsh in the now-defunct league and took them to the league final, where they were beaten three games to one by Edmonton. THREE HOME RUNS In 63 games last year, Tucker batted at a .249 clip.

He had 52 hits and 28 runs batted in. Included In his total were five doubles, one triple and three home runs. In all-star balloting, he was named the all-star manager and first baseman. He was regarded as an excellent strategist and one of the best handlers of players In the circuit. Tucker will be in Saskatchewan next month when he will be guest speaker at a sportsmans dinner at Lloydminster, During the off-season, Tucker works in the real estate business and officiates football snd basketball games at his home In Salt Lake City.

Utah. With the dissolution of the Can-Am league following last siwison, a npw loop was formed with franchises In Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat. Saskatoon and Regina. When Calgary Interests Indicated that they would be unable to field a team, Edmonton general manager John Dueey stated that his team would also surrender Its franchise. FIVE-TEAM LEAGUE Since then, a new league the Western Canada Baseball League has been formed with franchises In Regina.

Saskatoon, Lloydminster, Lethbridge and MigUeine Hat, A meeting is being held in Lethbridge today and Sunday to complete arrangements for die coming season. Officials of the live clubs are still hopeful that Calgary will reconsider and enter a team. A six-team loop would make for a better schedule and would help to cut operating costs somewhat. Last year's five-team Can-Am setup was found to be rather unwieldy, since one team Is always idle during the schedule. Regina delgatcs to the Lethbridge meeting are executive members Cliff Rvan, Jack Fulton and Bob Gillies, Wings top two lines and count on scoring against the rookies.

But Melnyk, Haley and Fonteyns shot that theory down In Baines Wednesday with a fierce-checking defensive game wt ich blunted the Leaf assault and powerhouse attack which had the Toronto defence reeling, Coach Sid Abel of Detroit, who admits he had some doubts about his "weak" unit, Is Jubilunt over the line's showing. "Maybe I was a little leery at first of using them regularly said Abel, "But after seeing the way they worked Wednesday you can bet they'll be buck together Saturday night, "They're an excellent checking line. If we need goals badly I'm liable to stick Jack McIntyre on the wing. Otherwise, they look like a pretty steady combination." Haley, who fired the winning goal in the first period, hud a tough time staying In the big league tills season. He had only one goal in 27 games, In the final months of the schedule, however, his fine defensive play became an Important part of the Detroit game.

HOW TO STOP HOWE? One of the big question marks about tonight's game Is how Imlach Intends to counter Gordie Howe, the Detroit ace. Wednesday Imlach assigned Bert Olmstead the job of shadowing Howe but It didn't Work. Howe got the opening goul and was easily the best performer on the ice. Leaf goalie Johnny Bower, who rates Howe the top seising threat in the league, had to piriform sixne great acrobatics turn back Howe drives. llowe has a swollen thumb from a bump he took Wednesday night and Is bothered slightly by a sore toe from which the team doctor had to remove the nail Thursday.

Marc Rcaume. the defenceman who went to Wings In the swap that brought Red Kelly to Toronto, worked out Friday and may be in the lineup for the second game. Reuunie hus been sidelined by an injury he picked up soon after moving to Detroit. Jack Adams, Detroit general manager, said a prediction by Imlach that Leafs would take the set In five games gave Wings their added drive, "Don't knock the club you're playing." Adams said. The Imlach prediction had been given plenty of circulation by club officials and the Wings reacted as expected.

ONCE AWAY PASADENA Only once hns the Hose bowl classic been pluyexi away from Pasadena where It startl'd. The 1942 contest was In Durham, North Carolina, because of wartime travel limits. Have You Driven Its the new British car designed and built especially for Canndians! Test Drive It Today at Regina Motor Products Ltd. Your Chevrolet, Uldsmobllr, Corsair, Envoy Dealer 1850 Albert Street Telephone: LA.2-5GG7 pLASGOW, Scotland (By air mall) The hobpltallty of the Scot is as great as it ever was but curling, compared to the sport in Canada, has progressed but little in the past year. Two successive visits by the Ernie Richardson rink from Regina have boosted Interest among curlers here but not beyond that limited circle.

It was not surprising that Willie Kemp, the sports editor of the Edinburgh Scotsman, had never been to a curling match and was more than happy when the three writers from Canada offered to take turns "covering" the Scotch Cup matches between Richardson and Hugh Nellson of Strathaven, the champion of Scotland. The Edinburgh staffer for a Glasgow paper eat with me at a so-called press conference to which only he and a photographer hod come. I dont think he believed the stories I told him about curling in Canada and the Importance of the game, generally, but he took copious notes in shorthand and perhaps one day he may use the information tor a featured yara Johnny Hopkins of the Calgary Herald wrote up the game of March 21 for the Scotsman and It was printed in full, along with a group picture of the Richardson and one action shot. It was the greatest curling coverage in Scottish history. -k -k This championship series, as the one last year when the Richardsons Ernie, Arnold, Garnet and Wes beat Willie Young of Airth In five straight games, suffers from the lack of promotion.

The Edinburgh papers made no mention of the game that was to be played there although there was a brief notice the week before that Canadians were coming over to play the Scottish champion. Promotion, of course, is still foreign to this country and coupled with that Is the fact that curling, although of Scots origin, is equally as foreign to the ordinary man. This stems from the lack of ice facilities and until the time comes when rinks are built expressly for curling, the situation wont cliange. The Crossmyloof rink in Glasgow is the only true curling club In the country. The others must rent ice In skating rinks, which number no more than seven.

IT WASNT TOO MANY years ago Uiat curling In Canada was in the state that curling is in Scotland and only club members, mostly middle-aged pooplc, played the game. The story of the tremendous advances made In Canada Impresses those Scots who curl but they are loathe to believe that the magic formula will work here. A number have been to Canada and have seen for themselves but still they do not think the young people will take to the game. There has been some thought given to organising groups to build rinks on the Canadian stylo but that's as far as theyve cured to If the money is available, and it appears to be, it Is a pity a start Isn't made. Its a Canadian guns that curling would go over with a bang.

Scotland Is very sorts-mindc4and thousands of youngsters play golf. On a per capita basis it is doubtful it any other country can match it at golf and it seems to Canadlnn curling enthusiasts that youthful energy would quickly turn to the roarin game If the opportunity to play were presented. The Canadian party left Edinburgh for Glasgow by bus, March 22, on a pleasant, sunny morning. In the afternoon they were guest of Die harbour-master on a trip by launch down the Clyde river. The hospitality, ever since the party landed on March 16, has been almost overwhelming and sleep Is hard to cijme by.

The weather has been excellent, with light rain falling only on two nights so far but not during the daytime. The countryside Is a vivid green, the spring flowers are blooming, but there is no foliage on the trees. On the Sunday, March 20, the Richardsons were guests at the homes of the Scottish champions at Strathaven and later were taken to a cocktail party at Lee Castle, once the home of the Lockhart family, noted in Scottish history since the time of the Crusades. The Lockharts are no more and the Lanarkshire castle is now the home of a retired transportation magnate who thinks that when he is gone the place will remain empty to fall into ruin unless it is taken over by the government as a national monument. JETTING A NEWSPAPER story cabin! out of Scotland create something close to a crisis.

After much preparation through the proxr channels in Canada and armed with credentials from the British counterparts in London, the Canadian sportswrlUrs thought it wise to see the post-office people well In advance of the curling games. In Ayr and Edinburgh, long consultations with clerks, then supervisors and finally the postmasters produced agreement that the cables would lie accepted after the games and sent to Canada In Jig time. A man would even stay overtime after closing hours to oblige. It W'as a relief to hear about such fine arrangements after so much fiustratlon a year ago, but when the three of us arrived at tho post-office we were met with blank stare and the whole ridiculous process had to start over again with the clerk, then the supervisors and then with whoever was left In charge when the postmasters went home. There was no hurraing these gentry, even banging the head against a wall In despair did hot get Die speedy action promised, as they gazed In something like awe at tho written copy.

All we could hope for was that the rather short stories on the games would beat these air-mail letters home, If they didn't, then the lads behind the wickets are still gazing In awe. EDMONTON (CP) "I wasn't surprised at all, said manager-coach Leo Leclerc after his Edmonton Oil Kings pasted Flin Flon Bombers 8-5 Thursday night in the first game of the western Memorial Cup semifinal. "We were playing in rough company in the Central Alberta League, and I said we weren't going to meet anything tougher in Flin Flon." Leclerc was jubilant after his Oil Kings scored a convincing ictory In the first game of the best-of-seven series against the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League champions. Second game will be played here tonight. SLOW START Kings, who played in intermediate company In the CAilL, shied away from the highly-reputed Bombers in the first period and were down 3-1 early in the second before flashing back to tie the score 4-4 at the end of the second period.

Ed Joyal, Bobble Goebel, Larry Lund and Bruce MacGregor each scored twice for Kings. Cliff Pennington and Marcel Rochon tallied two apiece for the visitors and Morris Ofte-bro added the other. Bob Cox, picked up from Lethbridge Native Sons, appeared a happy choice as he played on a line with Goebel and Cox. He got two big assists. Leclerc said he isnt too worried about playing in Flin Flon, which has a smaller arena.

Cyr, Duke sparkle in triumph VANCOUVER (CP) Ray Cyr scored one goal and assisted on another Friduy nig) it to lead Vancouver Canucks to a 4-1 victory over Edmonton Flyers in the second game of a Western Hockey League semi-final. The victory gave canucks a 2-0 lead In the best-of-seven series which resumes in Edmonton Tuesday night. Dave Duks scored twice for Canucks and defenceman Ralph Keller once, but it was Cyr's Inspirational play that gave Canucks a wide edge In almost every department over the Flyers.

Roger Dejordy scored the only Edmonton goal at 19:30 of the first period. START OF SERIES Cyr, a native of Campbellton, N.B., who learned his hockey as a junior In Quebec City, ran his point total In two games to six-three goals and three assists.
