World Series To Start Oct.1 Unless Play - off

In National League

NEW YORK. Sept. 8-(AP)- Major league baseball officials left a rnuple of matters up in the air loday after they met to iron out the details of the 1952 world ser- 105.

One was the exact starting date --it will be Oct. 1 or 2, depend- ing on whether a playoff is need- ed to decide the National League pennant. The other was whether ticket prices will remain the same as in the past few years or whether an effort is being made to raise them.

Contrary to custom, Commis- sioner Ford C. Frick didn't divulge the price scale for tickets when he gave out the dates for the series. He explained it couldn't be done before Thursday because of the necessity of obtaining approval from the office of price stabiliza- tion. Frick will confer with 0.P.S. officials in Washington tomorrow.

This, it was believed, might be an indication of a change in the scale. World series prices have been established for the past few years at 88 for box seats. 38 for reserved seats. 83 for bleachers and s4. for standing room. It was un- derstood that if this scale remain- ed unchanged, it would not be necessary to secure 0.P.S. approv- al. Although regular season tick- cts come under price ceilings. 0. 13.8. has recognized a differential for such special events as the world series. They suggested Prick might want to discuss increasing this diilerential.

The adoption of alternate sched- ules waa made necessary by the close races in both major leagues. If both pennant races end as scheduled on Sunday, Sept. 28, the series will begin the following Wednesday, Oct. 1.

If the American League race ends in a tie, this date will re- main unchanged. A National Lea- gue tie, however, would force a

EDT, except Sunday games in New York and Brooklyn. which cannot legally be started before ll p.m. EDT. No game will be halted because of darkness. If necessaryl floodlights will he turned on so they can be completed.

Curlers, not only in Canada. but throughout the world. will learn with deep regret of the passing on August 4th, 1952, of Mr. Thom- as Renr.ie of Toronto.

For many years president of the well-known firm of William Ren- nie Seeds, Ltd., the late Mr. Ren- nie was an active and successful participant in numerous sports, including golf. curling, and lawn bowling.

To Prince Edward Islanders, Mr. Rennie has been known princip- ally for his active interest in curl- ing. He was himself an extremely compete it curler, and was very difficult to beat in a draw game. In 1927. when the Macdonald Brier Tankard playdowns for the Do- niinion curlfng championship were inaugurated, Mr. Rennie was chos- en as chairman of the Board of Trustees, a position which he held ever since until March 1952, when he retired from the active chair-' manship and was appointed hon- ourary chairman.

Mr. Rennie was also an honour- ary life member of lhe Dominion Curling Association, and a past vice-president of the Royal Cale- donian Curling Club nf Scotland.

In addition to his prowess as a curler, Mr. Rennie was known and beloved throughout lhe curlling fraternity for his genial personal- ity, for his authoritative knowl- edge of the rules and sportsman- ship of the game, and for the im- prcssive dignity with which he conducted both the business and social activities of his office.

The entire Giant infield left the field and huddled on lhe bench while Durohcer carried on his arg- ument with Ballaniant and his three partners. Several minutes later the Giants again took the field and finished the game, losing 10-I.

Thompson opened the last half of the ninth with a single off Gil Hodges' glove. Sal Yvars sac- rificed and manager Leo Durocher of the Giants sent southpaw swinger Jim Rhodes to hit for Bobby Hoffman.

The Dodgers got off winging

with a five-run assault in the first inning, and. with the aid of an- other brilliant relief job by Joe Black, coasted in.

The rhubarb erupted with two out in the ninth inning. Larry Jansen wholhad come on the mound to start the eighth for the Giants, suddenly began walking on the field toward his dugout.

On his way, however. he was stopped by plate umpire Lee. Bal- lanfant. Jansen returned to the mound. but hit the next batter. Billy Cox. in the back with his first pitch.

WINNIPEG, Sept. 8 (CP)- With 500 games in the National Hockey League and a taste of red tape under his belt. Bill Juzda is all set to trade in his hockey stick for a locomotive throttle.

Conn Smythe, managing direct- ,or of Toronto Maple Leafs. an- nounced Thursday the burly Lea1's' defenceman had been waived out of the National Hockey League.

Waivers on Juzda. a battle-scar- red veteran at 31. were passed up by all teams in the six-club league at the 57,500 waiver price. Leafs asked the waivers last spring af- tcr Juzda had spent most of the season on the bench. He joined the team in 1948. .

Tonight, Juzda sat in his car at. the Canadian Pacific Railway rcundho in neighboring St. Boniface to talk for a few min- utes before taking over the throt- tle of a yard engine. His 203 pounds have started to spread round the middle but he looked fit and hapD.V.

The decision of the NHL. clubs to waive on him may be the end cf a 12-year career in professional hockey.

”I was expecting it in a way when I left Toronto last spring," he said. ”I asked then for my release but it was refused."

Juzda said he can understand waivers not being accepted.

"What's the use of a club pay- .ing 37,500, plus a player's salary. and then have him quit at the end of a. year." he said,

"But I think if they give me my release I'll be all set. in play an-

or year." uzda isn't. too sure of he fut- ure but. he isn't worried a ut it.

He said Smythe offered him a coaching job before he left To- ronto but nothing was settled. Be- sides, he likes his present Job nne. He's been at it 11 years. Coach- ing ia too-insecure.

While playing in the N. H. L.. Juzda lost three teeth and picked up about 60 stitches. 33 in one year. He also became known among sports writers as "Bill (the beast) Juzda".

Juzda, a hard-hitting player, explained the addition to his name was hung on him by Tony Les- wick, now with Detroit Red Wings in the N. H. L.

"I was always twisting his arm -not literally either," he said.

Besides the Leafs Jusda. mar- ried now and the father of two children, has played with New York Rangers in the NHL. and with Philadelphia. Providence, New Haven and Pittsburgh in the Am- erican Hockey League.

Millionaires will investigate the possibility of securing the services of goalie Nick Pidsodny for the coming season. Nick is still the property of Buffalo, but has ex- pressed the desire to return to Sydney and work here throughout the year.

Reporting for the player com- mittee, Dr. MacDonald said he had been in contact with some possi ' new additions for the coming term. and these negotiations would be furthered by the playing-conch within the next two weeks.
