illuminated Baseball Scheme Flops

(By Whitney Martin) '

NEW YORK. Feb. i2 —- (AP)— Well, it was a good idea if it had worked. Ray Dumont says philo- rqahically. How was he to lmqw iii-it catching an illuminated base- ball t night was Just like trying to ca -h a shooting star in a tea-

, cup?

._Dumont is the founder, owner ‘and operator of the National Semi- pro Baseball Congress. In fact, he is the National Semi-pro Base- holl Congress and one of the most honest promoters we ever en- Qountered.

He's watched his brain-child

Texpand from a cake of soap to s bubble bath. The organization has reached a point now, with its 400 leagues and about 600 tourna- -n\entS. ti at the screwball stunts he staged for promotion no longer IfB TIGCESSBIY.

He became quite a character with his ldt-handed base-running schemes, automatic umpires, basos that jlngle-jangle-dlngled when lhe right man touched them, leap- illg microp nes and automatic home plate d sters. Two of them-- the leaping mhnophone at home plate and the plate duster-proved practical and he still uses them.

Organized ball respects him now. he's made a success of his pro- _1cct through honesty and hard work. And stunts, which, as he says. no longer are needed.

Getting back to the stunt that misfired, Ray had the brilliant, or dark, idea to stage a. ball game at night without benefit of lights. The baselines and bases were to be dnubed with phosphorus. The players would have phosphorus belts, and gloves, and neclnbands, and stripes about the knees, so they would be animated neon signs out there. And _the ball was to be coated with phosphorus.

The idea seemed great. but for

_‘,some reason Dumont was a little apprehensive about it, particular- ly after he-got a wire about three oiays before he was to make the great experiment.

"It was from General Electric at Schenectady," he exlplains. "They wanted to send three men to ob- serve our exhibition. They said they had been working on the gen- eral idea for 25 or 80 years and hadn't solved it yet.

_"I had received a lot of local publicity, so had to do something about it."

A secret tryout failed and the __l<_lea. was dropped.

SAINT JOHIN. N. 3.. Feb. l2- (CP)-Wit.hin 10 days a textile industry will make a survey 6f the saint John area to determine the possibility oi opening a plant here. tho Board of Trade was in- formxi today. The new plant

would employ about 200 workers.

gl-‘rom Winnipeg

‘TORONTO, Feb. l2 — (GP)- Pink-cheekad Jimmy Thomson from Winnipeg ranks in the books of his boss.. Conny Smythe, so lust about the best defensive de- fenoaman Toronto Mlapie Leafs have ever had.

Smythe, leafs‘ managing direc- tor, came out today with high praise for the tall IBO-pounder who'll be 21 Feb. 2S and now is in his second full season in the Na- tional Hockey League.

‘Thomson's record as goals- agalnst is the best of any dl- fenceman we have ever had," said Smythe, giving recognition to the territory this covered by men- tloning such former Toronto stars as Clafencc (Happy) Day, now the team's coach,‘ bashing Red Horn- er and dynamic King Clancy.

"Hie nvbines the qualities of a lot of the good defencemen we've had," continued Smythe. "l-ie has many of the attributes of Day; he can hurt attackers-although not so seriously-as 1-lorner; he can get that puck out of his own end like Clancy-not in as dashing a way but juat as decisively."

Then Smythe capped that off by predicting that Thomson would be "one oi the all-time greats of hockey" if he keeps his head and continues to give his best.

The Toronto club's president went back in retrospect to last year's Stanley Cup playoff when only some hall-dozen of the 7i goalsagainst thegLeafs were tal- lied against Thomson and his partner, Gus Mortson.

Right now, Thomson is the top point-getter among N. H. L. de- fencernen this season. He has N. all coming on assists, witch puts him right near the head of the class even among forwards in that department.

The Leafs picked Thomson out of Winnipeg during the war and he got preliminary seasoning in the Ontario Hockey Alssociatlon junior A teams-one of thenrSt. Michael's College. He turned pro in 1945-46, playing live gameswlth the Leafs and 2B with Pittsburgh Hornets in the Annerican Hockey League.

Last season he played in 00 league games for the Leafs and wound up with 18 points on two goals and 14 assists. So far this season he has missed only one Toronto game-he was dropped when the club adopted for e. few weeks a rotating system among its rive defencemen.

None of the six was seriously injured.

Damage in the firs, second ma- jor blaze in the Toronto area in 2.4 hours, was estimated at 8W0,- 000.

We note with interest the poll undertaken by the Guardian to pick the Ali-Star team to play the Moncton Hawks next Monday night. We hupo that the Bummer- slde All-Stars will place at least a couple of players on this team. On a team of fifteen men to be pick- ed from four clubs, it would seem that we should get that many at least. Two or three Summerside boys performing with the team-l would certainly give us Westerners a real stake in the game and Sum- merside fans would probably turn out 1n force to see the contest.

' I O

The unpredictable Summerstde Kinsmen Juveniles came through with the surprise victory of the year ‘when they humbled the proud .Welshnien by the scorq of 3 to 3 at the Crystal Rlnhwcdnesday night. The P.W.C. boys were romping through all opposition by lop-sided scores until they ran up against Charlie Hogan's henchmen in Summerside. The boys weren't handed the victory on a platter either. They had to take it the hard way. The one, gift goal of the evening was shot by a visitor and all three Kinsmen counters were the result of unooth play. Layton Schurman‘: brilliant solo dash through all opposition in the_ sec- ond period being called by many fans the most spectacular scoring play of the winter.

I O O

The work hf Bobby Gay behind the blue-line is drawing more fav- orable comments from the fans every day. This boy is one of the finest prospects for rearguard duty that has been seen in Summerside for some Urns. He can hand out a body check that rarely fails to drape the recipient on the ice and he takes on all comers. The bigger they are the more snow they sweep up as far as Bobby la can. cerned. .

O Q O

Charlie Hogan's putting Bennie Grady back on defence seems to have been a smart move. Bennie does a good job behind the blue- lina and he is still s decided threat when he comes riding into enemy territory. .

O O

Roy "Chick" oiusnz never shaw- ed to better advantage than he did Wednesday evening. He seemed to have more speed and his shots, always packing considerable aip, were more accurate than in pre- vious games.

‘O O

The Summerslde All-Stars have made it three straight victories in games played st the Crystal Rink this winter, when they downed the Prince of Wales team on Wednes- day. They have yet to be beaten on home ice. 1t was good to see Charllq Delghan back with the boys and Charlie is beginning to show his 104‘! form again. He col- lected two goals and two assists which was high (or his team.

O I It is with regret that we report that young Thorson who played two games with the Summerslde Legion had the misfortune to break his wrist 1n last Tuesday night's

Thorson showed decided improvement in his second game and had all the ear- marks of a coming star.

I I Oonlratulations‘ to 1.0. Hayes and his rink mates on their win- ning the Prince Edward Island curling chnmpionshl . We hope they will bring urthsr honor to Bumrnarslde when they play in 0118117. Alta.

The final period saw both teams turned back many tknes in a hard-fought attempt to break the tie. and this feat was ﬁnally ac- complished by George Nicholson. who slapped a. sizzling backhand shot past Bruce after twelve min- utes of play. to make it 2-1 for the single men. and with three minutes to go Sheldon Ferguson clinched the game for his team when from a scramble he grabbed

—0n the night of Feb. 5. the New Annan team ran roughened over Darnley when playing before the largest crowd of the season. They defeated Darnley 10-2. The some was very fast and the score ,ls not indicative of the play in center ice, but while Darnley for- wards were met at New Annan blue line by a stout defence plus extraordinary goal tending by Dave Mclnnis, the Darnley defence were away out of position as they let the New Annan snipers right in on the overworked Darnley goalie.

witch Your Step! Today's The 13th

(Willi s

(By The Canadian Press)

Fearsouie Friday the 13th. is here again today. and every bold citizen who avoids black cats, ‘ ‘ ladders and three on a match had better arm hiznaslt with a horseshoe or clover-leaf. krwck on wood, or M191? stay in

bed all day. Safety-conscious els might ponder the latter course (after

all, Friday the lbth comes only twice this year-its next occur- rence is in August).

This method of failing fate is recommended by at least one enn- lnent psychologist. some people are so upset by their superstitious dread of Friday the lath-explains this authority-that they concen- trate deeply on one pet fear with the result their alertness to other dangers is diminished.

“lif you are desperately fearful something is going to human to "you on niday the 13th. it is well to stay in bed." he concludes.

As for the origin of the ill- omencd day, it's any goblin's guess. The number l3 was deemed un- lucky by astronomers of ' ancient

Babylon and Scandinavian myth- ologists blacklisted it because Bal- der, their sun-god, had to dle when it cropped up in the circle of Valhalla.

Most widely accepted version of its origin, however, is the fact there were 13 guests at the Last Supper, including Judas Iscariot who next day-traditionally a Friday-betrayed Christ.

The old hoodoo hasn't put in an appearance since last June- the only Friday the 13th in 1947. No year is complete without at least one day when it. behooves the superstitious to sleep. eat. walk and talk warily. Six times during the last rive years Friday has been dated up with the 13th.

Egg & Poultry Report

Egg production continues at a high level for this season of the year reports M_r. F. M. Nash, sen» ior poultry products inspector, Do- minion Department of Agricul- ture. Rleceipts slowed up some- what over the past weekldue b0 weather and road conditions. however 1.840 cases of eggs were shipped in Britain during this period. Other shipments wer= made to Newfoundland and other Maritime points. Egg quality is excellent and if it were not for slightly soiled eggs, there would be no under-grades. Efficiency in production will pay dividends in i946.

"Now is the time," Mr. Nash urges, "to think of that egg feed ratio and the fact that the ratio can be made more favorable b1 increasing pi uction per layer and by marketing eggs free from checks or slight cracks and dirt. Today there is a difference in price of 7 1-2 cents between A large and Grade B and 18 cents

between A Large and Grade G. Check up on those nests and keep them well filled with clean straw to prevent soiled and cracked
