Baseball Begins Sunday; Coaches Treading On Limbs

Yesterday we said that we II1tlllL'Ill the City Baseball League Mllll(ll1'l be started for a week or ill but last night we heard a lit- :le differently. We were pni'ti81lY right, however. The official open- Inc will be delayed for I few lays but the league will swing run action on Sunday afternoon ll Memorial Field with the 1955 :hampion Dodgers taking on Tom iIacFarlane's revamped Stars.

The official opening. accord- ing to local officials. will bethc latter part of next week when it is expected that the 17th iu5c(',E Regiment hand will be in attendance to give I short hand concert and a local dig- nitary will toss out the first haill. The game itself will be played under the lights.

(lfllcial or not, the first ball will be pitched and the first league game take place Sunday grid already. even before the pit- chcrs take to the mound, coaches Tom M'acFarlane and Forbie Kennedy are busy contradicting each other and predicting league championships for their clubs. Both. however. agree on one thing: the league will be better balanced this year.

in 1955 the Stars got off to I fast start. winning their first three games of the season but after that they went into I tail- spin and finished the league in the cellar and were quickly dis- posed of by the powerful Dod- gcrs in the semi-final playoffs. But looking over his 1956 roster coach MacFIriIne is quite pleased with what he sees Ind lie should he. Says Tom: "We will have I better team this year. We may be I little weak defensively but the runs we hoot away we will be expecting to get back on the strength of our batting power. We've got lots of batting power Ind should win the league. Not easily. But we will win."

.Coach Kennedy doesn't agree with Tom at all. lie concedes Niill the Stars have lots of power gt the plate but when it comes to calling the league tltlists he

'nls to his own Dodgers. Why? 'We have the pros" says Forbie. "And the old pros will win the bill ones for you. Tom may win llie schedule but our pros will win the playoffs."

- Meanwhile Flyers' head man Jimmy (Fiddler) MacDonald sits hick on the sidelines silently "Ell .. to himself while his rivsl coaches verbally decided CltyuLcIgI'io chargplonplilp u - In ;illII they Ire both wrong. Says .."-"llllI1i't The team to heal null! ycsr-as it was lIst year- -:is the Flyers". We've got the .le-sun best defense. good hit- Jiu. and our pitching doesn't v::ve to inks s heck out to . ,3.

DODGERS

However. coach Kennedy has been watch- ing. the powerful throwing of con- tertieldcr Kenny (SDU) MacDon- ald with I critical eye and Kenny may find himself I part-time hurier.

97TH RUNNING SATURDAY

Odds Againsi Long Shot Winning Queen's Plate

By JACK SULLIVAN .. Canadian Press sun Writer TORONTO (CP)-Don't figure

0! I. Iolll Ihot to win Saturday's nth renewal of the Queen's Plate. odds are stacked against it,

A check of plate records shows that only six winners in the last 42 years hIve returned more than on I two-buck ticket. That should make it obvious the three- year-oldsmhalyie dbeen running to 0l'lll0ll 9 8 a in is ". - added stakes. y up ndooo included in the six is Ace Mar- ine. the .1955 winner who paid 5133) but he can't be considered I

long shot. The chalk-eafcrs went d

along with the chestnut colt but the betting public concentrated on glarnor - boy Senator Jim and backed him down 6-to-5 odds when the mutuels closed. RETURNED 3193.25

Old-timers like to recall the 1924 plate running when H. S. Wilson's Maternal Pride upset all pre-race dope and returned a whopping 8193.25 to a few plungers, the ions. est price in the history of the race.

It was Maternal Pride's first- Ind lssipi-ace.

The form players had their days until 1943 when Paolita, with vet. CHI! Jockey Pat Remillard aboard, Paid 375- Four years later

Moldy. owned by R. S. McLaugh- lin, gave the Oshawa. Ont. sports- man his third piste victory and his backers 336.50.

This year the form players can't see log t except Canadian Champ to take the Queens 50 guineas Ind some 836.000 over the spanking new multl-million-dollar New Woodbine track. CONSISTENT WINNER

The Champ has everything going for him. He set I Canadian record by winnin 351,41!) as I two-yeah old last season and has won its three starts this year. including the seven-furlong Plate trial Tues-

ay.

The bay colt. owned by Hill Beasley of Toronto, went six fur- longs last May 25 and won easily. Two weeks ago it raced a mile and 70 yards over I heavy track and scampered home an easy winner.

Come sun or mud on Plate day, it appears the Champ is ready to enter the winners' circle. but there's one fellow who refuses to consider the Beasley speedster a cinch winner. He is Conn Smythe. co-owner with Larkln Maloney of Bunty's Flight.

"Maybe some guys are conced- ing this thing to Beasley's horse." Smythe has said repeatedly the last two weeks. "But not me. Walt

"mu I” WW5 ll-if he wins it- start patting him on

before you the head."
