Argonauts Trying To Get Ronnie Knox Back In 1959
TORONTO (CPl—lLew Hlayman, managing director of Toronto Ar- gonauts, is planning an all-out attempt to get passing wizard Ronnie Knox back for the 1959 Big Four football season.
The 24-year-old quarterback, on loan from Chicago Bears of the National Football League, has been the key to an amazing Argo comeback, passing and leading them to whopping shutout victor- ies in their last two games.
Argonauts swamped Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ottawa Rough Riders 30-0 and 41-0 respectively as Knox completed 41 of 59 passes and emerged as a brilli- ant oflfesive tactician.
The victories were Toronto‘s Decond and third of the Big Four
football union season against eight defeats and left the club with a mathematical chance of making the three-team playoffs in their last three games. HOLLYWOOD MAY BECKON
Knox wants to come back with the club for 1959 but George Hales, owner of the Bears. may have other ideas. And so may Hollywood.
Halas holds Knox’s football con- tract and if he wants to keep playing he may have to do it for the man he squabbled with last year. \ .
Knox was drafted by the Bears in 1957 but left flhe club after a dispute with Halas and was sus- pended. ,

HOCKEY PLAYERS and fans alike feel much better about the prospects of hockey for this coming winter. That meetmg on Monday night was most enthusiastic and the formation of an Island Hockey league seems like a certainly. . N
Saint Dunstam’s. Parkdale and Summerside have s1gnif1ed their willingness to participate in such a league and there seem's I better than even chance that a Charlottetown team will make it a forum when the group meet again next Monday nigght.
THERE WAS N0 TALK of anything an Ilstlland nileague. v body esent appeared agreed that ‘s was e o -y sou- Eorimio thempiroblem, Last year’s Amherst-Charlottetown—Sum- merslde affair didn’t get fans very excited and there wasn’t_a out of anyone about tying up with any mainland outfit. Players, especially, seemed to have enough of that last season and are anxious to get back with an Island loop. It certainly wasn’t surprising to find such a feeling prevalent,
THERE SHOULDN’T be a great deal of trouble rounding up another team for the proposed leaguge. Parkdale Flyerrs un- doubtedly will dress a number of Charlottetown players, but there should be enough besides those to make a strong fourth club from Charlottetown. Back a few years ago, there was a hive-team loop with Parkdale, Summersid‘e, Basilica Youth Club, Saint Dunstan‘s and Montague. Parkdale, B.Y.C. and Montague all drew their players from the Charlottetown area and there wasn’t exactly any weak sister. That made three teams from the capital, so surely there will be enough for at least two this year.
THERE WILL BE plenty of activity this week as team managers keep busy rounding up players for the coming sea- son. Next Monday night will find Summerside, Parkdale and Saint Dunstan’s with a pretty fair idea of who will perform for them in 1958-59. At this time we may tind that a. fourth team has been lined up, ready to battle for Island hockey supremacy with the other three.
At this next meeting, officers will be appointed to conduct the affairs and careful consideration should be given to their selection. Very often the success or failure of a league is de- pendent on the type of officers who control its destinies. A nominating committee will bring in a proposed slate next week and undoubtedly that committee will consider the matter care- ully before bringing in their selections.
LAST MONDAY’S MEETING did prove that there are many players who want to play hockey this winter. This talk that no organized hockey would be played here this year took a real. knock on the head at that session. We were most agreeably surprised with the large turnout as we had not anticipated any thing like the large number that attended. The whole affair showed real interest and that’s a fine way to get any season underway. _
We can have a good hockey season right here among our- selves We did it before and we can do it again. Of course every- body must cooperate and that everybody includes a lot of people. In that category you can put, players, managers, coaches league officers, fans all rink management. All of these folk play a most important part in the operation of any hockey lleague.
Let’s have that full (so-operation forthcoming this season.
PRINCE OF WALES and Saint Dunstan's Varsity football teams played an exhibition game on Monday and what the folks saw they enjoyed. Saints won the battle 14-0 but the affair was a good advertisemmeht for the best-of—three series these two teams will engage in very shortly.
The Junior Varsity probably surprised everybody, including the Welshmen. with their fine showing despite very little prac- tice. They were guilty of more rule infractions than the city collegians and when the going is really tight that could prove disastrous for them. However, this was undoubtedly because of their lack of practice and Father Frank Ledwell, their coach, will soon straighten these things out.
NATURALLY at St. Dunstan's the senior squad has prefer- ence for the use of the field and uniforms. With A. J. McAdam’s men working out at every opportunity, there isn’t much chance for the juniors to get a word in. But with this series coming up with Prince of Wales. the junior varsity will get more attention than they received these past few weeks.
WE ANTICIPATE a real bang-up series between these two old rivals and if we get some warmer weather than Monday, you can expect to see some big crowds in attendance. The boys won’t put on as good a display as you would get from Mount Allison and Saint Dunstan’s, but they’ll make up in determin- ation what they lack in finesse.
Welshmen and Saints always did provide fans with the greatest kind of rivalry and there seems no chance of them disappointing this fall.
GENE CONLEY, who failed to win a game for M'ilwauked Braves in 26 appearances this past season may return to basket- ball with Boston Celtics. However, Gene adds, this doesn't mean that he will quit baseball.
“It might change the atmosphere for me,” the big pitcher said. “I‘ve been in a sort of a rut and maybe this is the change I need. I haven’t pitched since August 19, so you can be sure I’m well rested. I know I can help the Celtics.”
Regardless of whom you root for, it would be nice to see big Gene make a comeback in 1959. There‘s a strong possibilin that If he does, it will be in a uniform other than Milwaukee
BOB HAZLE. the young outfielder whose .403 hitting helped win the 1957 pennant for the Braves, is back in the minors. The Detroit Tigers, who obtained Hazle last May, released him to their Charleston farm club in the American Association. He batted only 58 tmes this past season and hit .241 with two homers and five runs batted in.
Hazle may get another chance but the odds are against him. with: league days appear who at an end.

“I am freelancing and waiting for the big break," he says about his acting. "I hope it comes."
9 Starters For Stakes
TORONTO (CPl — Nine Ameri- can-owned horses, lured by the big money, at stake, are almost certain starters in Saturday’s $50,000 added Canadian champion- ship stakes, it was announced Tuesday. This is the greatest in- vasion of foreign-owned horses in the modern history of Canadian racing.
The Ontario Jockey Club, pro- prietor of the suburban New Woodbine track where the mile and five-furlong race will be held. said a field of at least 13 horses will go to the post for a purse of more than $60,000.
The latest starter for the rich autumn classic is One~Eyed King, fourayear-old colt owned by Harry F. Guggenheim of Philadelphia, second in the $30,000 New York Handicap at Belmont Monday and winner of more than $80,000 this season.
The Hasty House Farms of Toledo, Ohio, is planning to start a three-horse entry of Ekaba, Ma- han and Jack Ketch.
Other American-owned horses likely to start are:
Inside Trace. owned by fruit growers Ray Debrino and Joseph Martino of Valantie, and winner of the two-mile $75,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park Saturday; Civet. owned by E. Austin Byrne of Mt. Kisko, N.Y.; Andrew Alan, trained by the celebrated Hirsch Jacobs; Spinney, 1957 winner of the classic owned by Louis Rowan of Los Angeles, Calif, and Bell Hop, Frenchabred horse owned by J. M. Schillf of New York.
REMEMBER WHEN . . .
Harry Greb, former World’s middleweight and l i g ht weight boxing champion. died at Atlantic City 32 years ago today following a minor operation. The “Pitts- burgh Windmill” held the middle- weight crown from 1923 to 1926, being succeeded by Tiger Flow- ers.

Mario comes here highly rc commended by the New Bruns- wick and Ontario promoters. Both are on the threshold of the championship class which is ideal for good figm- ihg and at the same time fits in with the promotcr’s plans. The various champions and top title contenders come too high on the purses and the promoters are, of course,- obliged to secure fighters within financial reason. This will probably produce some better ba‘- tles than if the champs were en- gaged.

Hill Close To A Record
WINNIPEG (CPl — Hal‘flback Jack Hill of Saskatchewan Rough- riders needs 25 points in his club’s two remaining games to equal the record 131 points set in the Western Interprovincial Foot- ball Union last year by Winnipeg Blue Bombers‘ Gerry James.
Hill collected .4 points in Riders‘ two weekend games to boost his total output to 106 points and a 31-point margin over runner-up Charlie Shepard, Winnipeg fullback. All clubs have two games left.
Statistics compiled by The Ca- nadian Press show Hill’s total comes from 11 touchdowns, 28 converts and four field goals. Shepard has 11 TD's and nine singles.
Edmonton Eskimos hold the next three spots, with end Joe Mobra at 61 points, quarterback Jackie Parker 59 and fullback Normie Kwong 54. .
Fullback Veryl Switzer of Cal— gary Stampeders, cut by Green Bay Packers of the U.S. National Football League about midway through the WIFU schedule, was the only newcomer in the top 10. He moved into 10th place with 36
points on six touchdowns.
DOWN THE
BACK STRETCH
One of the most popular driV‘ ers on U.S.T.A. race tracks is Billy Haughton, whose birth- place was Gloversville, New York, on November 2, 1923. Last year he had the most starts of any driver racing —— 743, and he was 156 times first, 127 times second and 100 times third, for a percentage of .350. ’.
He was the largest money-wan- ning driver in 1957. his total ad- ding up to $586,950. Billy's per- centage was not high as com— pared to many other drivers. For instance, our native son. Joe O’Brien, born June 15, 1917, had a percentage of .438; Joe made 272 starts, was 72 times first, 53 times second and 53 times third, and his winnings were $349355.
Of course Joe is driving an in- dividually-owned stable. while Billy had horses owned by many different owners.
From what we have been ob- serving, driver Hauglliton will have another big year, probably with larger winnings than last year. One of his top winners ls Belle Acton, that on the night of September 30 won the $50,000 Trans-American Pace at Yonk- ers Raceway, of which 325.000 went to her owners. That push- ed her lifetime earniong up to $306,273, which places her fourth among the top money-winning pacers of all time.
Haughton is one of the nicest chaps one would want to meet, and his skill as a driver has not gone to his head. We had sev- eral conversations with him a couple of years ago and found him a very fine chap to talk to.

New Japanese Baseball Idol ,
TOKYO (AP) —— The newest baseball hero of Japan is a 21- yearold son of a Kyushu fish- monger—a young pitcher who al- most singlehandedly won the Japan “world series."
He is Kozuhisa Inao, a sleepy- eyed, muscular athlete who seem ingly never tires. ' A pitcher for the Nishitetsu Lions, he saw his team lose the first three games in the Yomiuri Giants of the best-of-seven series. Then, in 'a rally reminiscent of the Yankees’ comeback against Milwaukee, the Lions proceeded to win the next four games. Inao won them all.
In fact, this young iron man pitched in six of the seven games. He pitched a record 26 scoreless innings. He didn't issue a walk for 18 innings.
The press called him Superman and The Boy Wonder.
All Japan is. anxiously waiting to see how their hero fares against St. Louis Cardinals, who arrived here Tuesday night for a series of games against Japanese all-stars, beginning Friday.
The Cardinals played in Korea earlier in the day, beating an all- star Korean team 3-0.

He collectd 26 hits in 72 times at bat. He had one double and
runs. Newcombe was traded by
nati Redlegs during last season.

one home run and drove in nine .
Los Angeles Dodgers to Cincin— I
OTTAWA (CPI—Ottawa Rough Riders, stumbling badly in the late-season scramble for playoff berths in the Big Four f00tball league, Tuesday called on a couple of Canadian rookies to move them to safer ground. They are Russ Jacks-on, who got the nod from coach Frank Clair to start at quarterback in Toronto Saturday against Argo- nauts, and halfback Ron Stewart, who will spell 60-minute man George Brancato at flying wing. The two changes, as Riders drilled to avenge the 410 drub- bing they suffered at the hands of the resurgent Argos here last week, came as Ottawa faced the necessity of winning one of their three remaining games to make sure of a playoff spot. Two of the games are away from home. CLINCH TOP SPOT
Hamilton Tiger-Cats“ Canadian champions, already have clinched first place. Ottawa is second with 10 points, Montreal Alouettes third with nine and Toronto Argonauts last with six.
Three straight Ottawa losses. combined with an Alouette win over Hamilton at Montreal Satur- day and three Toronto victories would knock out the Riders.
