Is Interested.

» ‘By JIM CUELEN’

John Francis ‘Bunny’ Ahearne, President of the: International Hockey Federation has written to Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey League, to confirm his interest in the commercial exploitation o&¢NHL game films on European tele- vision.

This gesture on the part of Mr. Ahearne is equivalent of Fidel Castro applying to the United States for citizenship papers. The NHL will likely be polite in refusing to deal with Ahearne, but will probably point out he has shown little co-operation to them over the years and has made many critical remarks on Canadian hockey and the NHL in particular Among the most recent ex- amples of Ahearne’s work the international rumpus concerning six NHL stars operating. a hockey = school in Innsbruck.

Larry Regan received permission from the Austria Ice Hockey Federa- ® tion to install Terry Sawchuk, Gordie | Howe, Tim Horton, Ron Stewart,

chio in Innsbryck once -their Stanley Cup commitments were over.

Later after listening fo Ahearne, the Austrian IHF recanted and barred

backed this up by barring NHL play- ers from every amateur controlled rink in Europe. Consolation for Aus- tria came swiftly in the award of the 1967’ world hockey tournament.

Now Mr. Ahearne has come back and claimed that he hasn't ~ J. F. AHEARNE got any authority to help Larry Regan even if he so desired. He claims: “the law that affects Regan’s plan was adopted by a vote of the International Jce Hockey Federation.”

John Francis Ahearne, a balding, blystering Irishman, now in his early sixties, first rowed publicly with Canada in Oslo in 1952, when an angry hockey delegate from this country swung a punch at him in‘a hotel lobby. Ahearne-is-reported_to have kicked him in the stomach. Relations -since then have continued to be cold and strained, f~ i

. In European amateur hockey, he rules like a Czar, exerting remarkable control over the Russians zechs. His admirers say he has done a fantastic job of promoting the game of hockey

aS continent, where he is regarded as a first class, me dictatorial, administrator.

One curious aspect about Ahearne’s negotiations with the NHL is that/ although hockey would be boosted before an audi- ence of many millions, the gap between the NHL professionals and Europe's leading amateur players would also be high-lighted:

This was a risk, presumably, Ahearne was willing to take;

for the long term good of the game.

Tony Oliva smashed two home runs and Zoila Versailles drove in three runs with a bases- loaded single and inside-the-park homer in support of Jim Kaat’s five-hit pitching, paving the way for an 82 rout by Minnesota Twins over New. York Yankees Thursday.

It was the Anavini league- leading Twins’ fourth ight and fifth triumph in six’ games. Three of the victories have been over the Yankees who now have lost three in a row.

In another afternoon game Chicago Cubs edged Cincinnati Reds 3-2. Billy Williams’ eighth- | inning single drove in Glen Beckert with the run that gave the Cubs the victory over Cin- cinnati and .kridcked the Reds out of first placé'“: the National League.
