Sports Prophets Find Thpy Arc InTcugh League

By JACK MITOHHL Canadian Press Stat! Writer

TORDNW. DGC. 10 -- Sports pro- phets play in a hazardous league, that was underscore again in the Dominion football final when Win- nipeg Blue Bombers did every- thing but beat the vaunted Tor- onto Argonauts in the latest of a long line of make-fools-of-the-ex- perts events.

Jwk Welt. Bomber coach, sum- med it up after the Argo last-play victory when he said that "about 36 of us were among the few pec- ple in all Canada" conceding Win- nipeg a chance. The sports ox- peris had helped take care of that. They gave free assurance that an Argo victory was just a matter of score, evidently had Argos believ- ing it themselves until Bombers proved otherwise, and helped bloat those 5-1 betting odds.

From his editorial-page column. J. V. (Globe and Mail) McAree notes that a "concensus of the in- mates of any mental hospital could not have been more griev- ously mistaken" and ln scholarly style chastises the never-never- lcarn fraternity as the "most un- reliable of all characters."

Even. though suggesting that “you can toss the experts out of the window when they enter the realm of prophecy." he offers the hand of friendship.

1—Hua.rds Are Many-

“Our experts fail to predict cor- rectly for the chief reason that they prophesy on what is unpre- dictable," he points out. For ex- ample, “what is apt to ruin the most carefully pondered predict- ions is the fact that the difference of a. foot is the difference between s foul and a home run; that llalf

the diameter of a goal post makes

the dlflerence between a goal and a miss in hockey; that the way a football lands on the ground can make the difference between a winning and a. losing play."

However, if the sports experts are more vulnerable than other newspaper writers, he suggests, "it is because only they. as a general rule, are called upon to go on re. cord before the event."

But he needn't have taken pains to let the smvmi society down lightly. Fractured cgosheal more quickly than collar-bones; the dis- coloration subsides faster from a face than from a strawberry bruise. They can't’ hurt us!

—0ut of the Picture-

Concernlng Winnipeg's disputed third-quarter touchdown, which you wont be seeing in your news- reels, Ted (Evening Telegram) Reeve comments: "The gent in the screen news office who cut on that part of the picture because there was no score, was voted a dozen of our best coaches’ associ- ation crying towels."

Ilypnctlsm Will lict Replace Coed Left, Boxer Says

(By The Canadian Press)

LONDON, Dec. 10—Hypnotism is all very well but it won't aver re- place tlhe old-fashioned straight left, according to the experience of boxer mic Boon.

when he was outpointed over. lll rounds by champion Ernie Rod- erick in their bout for the British welterweight title.

Maybe the story has Just a dash o! pro-fight ballyhoo about it but here's how it goes:

Bean's handlers decided that he had an "inferiority complex", How to overcome it? Simple. Hypnot- s-m.

For some days before the cham- pionshlp‘ encounter, Boon took treatments from a. London hyp- notist who placed the fighter in a trance and told him over and over again; "You will win."

But Roderick hadn't bothered to read the newspapers.

Cricket Comes iinder Fire But Leaders Composed

LfNDON, Dec. l0 -(GP)—Cric- ket has been criticized by "outsid- ers" ln recent weeks but the bad. gerlng hasn't ruffled the placid composure of the rulers of the game-the Marylebone Cricket Club. Tihey refuse to be excited.

\\"'-\t<-'h111: a game, whether from the sun-shaded pavilion of Lord's or from the clipped grlisg surround- ing a village green is a “matter of personal discretion," an M.C.C. of- ficial said in a brief telephone in- tcrview.

His comimont was made after Earl Wavell, fomler governor-gen- eral of India, ilacl dubbed cricket e‘: “pecullar" and Bishop Barnes of Birmingham, had advised young- sters to spend their summer holi- days hiking from one youth hostel to another through stretches of pure English country rather than watching a game.

Earl Wavcll said at Aberdeen that watching 22 grown men cavort- ing on a cricket field in a game

lasting three, four or more days "must seem to sn outsider the height of absurdity." But the

MCC. wouldn't be drawn into the discussion "because Lord Wavell is a national pilbllc figure."

But a further comment by Dr. Barnes that "cricket is good to be watched by elderly gentlemen, who can give it a nicely-judged ap- prrcizitinll." didn't meet with the firnl approval of the M.C.C. official. I-lc found it could be "appreciated" by the younger generation as well and pointed out it afforded pleas- ure tn "wives and fa-milies" of play- crs in the country.

Bishop's stortford football cluib is seeking someone who can remem- ber sporting activities in the Hert- fol-dshire tcvvn lrl the 1890s. The clll-b believes this is their jubilee year but so far hasn't been able to confirm it.

it is thought the club originated from the Bishop's Stortford Cas- uals but P.1d. Glassock, a resident of tllc town, recalls that this name wasn't adopted until 1898. He says that i-n 1897 hr.- and three other youths from the Noncomfonmist Graiirmar School banded together with the idea of re-formlng a town soccer team.

Secretary RA. Dent is hazy about the whole thing. "The records in my posesslon date back only to 1923, so we may have to rely on personal memories," he says.

Bill Bowes. Yorkshire county cricket club all-rounder. ls likely to receive £8,000 ($32.000)-an all- time record—from the benefit fund set up for him by his team. Sub- scriptions frcm cricket fans are re- ceived daily at the Yorkshire club's offices.

Four years ago 15-year-old Tom- my sidebotham borrowed the price of a, stamp with which to send a letter to Nevnmarket trainer Bill Earl asking if he would give hiim a chance at riding. Earl owed the letter on to another trainer. Dick Perryman, who took the b0)! in Bud the move is paying dividend!-

Tonmy has ridden 18 winners this season. many ssolnst Iuoh jockeys as Gordon Rlcdiardi. Ken Gethin and Harry Wragg.

IUNDON. Dec l0 - (OP) — The youngsters and old boys who for. age in the rough on golf courses picking up balls hit by duffers and later selling them have had a terrible setback. The whole business is illegal.

Harold Hibbert of Stockport appeared in court on a charge of "stealing” eight goi! balls from Reddish Vale golf course. the property of the club and others. He was fined £1 ($4). '

Chairman of the court said the question of ownership had been carefully argured but the magis- trates considerer that, members of the golf club were owners of the balls. Hibbertfis counsel has decided to appeal becau he feels this is a question "of considerable public importance."

In evidence, Hibbert found tw golf balls on the course and that he usually sold balls back to the players who llml lost them or to other golfers. He had also taken balls to the clubhouse and sold them lo the yirolcssionals, “figuring I Iwas doing allenlbcrs a good turn."

NASSAU. Bahamas. Dec. s _ (NEA) - Usually the beauties of Nassau inspire thoughts on n more romantic subject than the British economic crisis, Yet Americans who have road much about Brit- ain's hunger for dollars have a chance to seer that hunger being satisfied, pleasantly‘ if not com- pletely, in this little capital city of the Bahamas.

The workings of British econom- ic policy areni immediately ap- parent to the visitor. Those who have been here bolero have found things about as they were before the war. To be sure, the boys who dive for coins thrown by the pos- sengers as the ship docks Won't. bother for anything loss than a quarter now. The stores along Bay Street may not be stocked as full as they once were. But the tempo is still leisurely, the Nnssnuvlillls are still friendly. and tllc bicycles and horse-drawn vehicles still out- number the automobiles.

It is necessary to do a little dig- ging to discover any cilantro. The pro-war trade between the Baham- as and the States was almost with- out, restrictions. All importers. which means virtually all merch- ants and hotel nlnmigers, had dol- lar accounts in the bank. Now im- ports are rigidly controlled. Of- ficially Bahanlialls may import only essentials from the United States, although this rule is subject to some flexibility.

This crown colony has an In- viable advantage in the British quest for dollars. Tile islands are situated close to the American mainland. Their yenr-"round sum- mer cllrnate, exuberant vegetation, crystal clear seas and fine natural beaches are among their most “ex- portable" commodities. There are no shipping charges, depreciation or over‘=.l:d connected with them. But they bring in the dollars. 1n turn they create a market for such tangible: as hotel rooms. English Woolens. Irish linen and lac“ Scotch sweaters and French perfumes, which bring in more dollars.

In 1946 the Bahamas had a dol- lar income of 15.000000. l\'iost__of that sum was spent by the 20,000 tourists who visited this city of 3,000 people. This year the num- her of visitors will be at least 40.- 900 with g, proportionate increase in income. A loo at the store shelves on Bay tract will show how badly those dollars are need- ed. and why. /

The Bahamas have no industry and little agriculture. Almost all the necessities of living. from meat and rice to automobiles and plumbing flxtures,_ must. be im- ported. England can give the col- only little help, because of the distance which separates them and because almost all or the United Kingdom's surplus production is
