automatically means a strong entry of top-flight U. S. ‘name’ players in addition to a large list of Cana- dians. O O O O "Locke already has one Canadian Open record to his credit. When he took top honors at Toronto Scar- bcro two summers ngo, he complet- ed the 72-hole event in 268 strokes -—16 strokes below par and the low- est score ever put together in See- grnm Gold Cup competition, He did not defend his Canadian title a year ago because the Open then cume late in the season at Van- couver and he had already return- ed to his native South Africa. O O O O‘

"Instead, the Cup and top prize money went to Chuck Congdon of Tacoma, Wash, a winner who doesn't like to participate in tour- naments too far removed from his home course. Congdon announced after presentation of the Seagram Gold Cup in Vancouver last Sep- tember that he didn't intend to de- fend the mug this year. His win- ning score was 280. O O O O "Announcment of Locke's plans came from his manager, Vincent Richards, in New York shortly after the big South African arriv- ed for his third invasion of North American golfdom. The Gold Trail schedule is such that Locke can participate in U. S. tourneys up to and including the Motor City Open in Detroit ln mid-June, then take in the Canadian Open at Toronto. O O O O

"In all probability, there will be. a full lineup of the best U. S. has‘ to offer opposing Locke. Although‘ no definite announcements have yet been made it seems likely that such stars as Lloyd Mangrum, Vic Ghezzl, Dick Metz, Ky Lafton, Her- man Keiser, Dutch Harrison and Ellsworth Vines will be on hand. All of them have made a habit of taking in the Canadian event in recent years, and uli placed high among the lenders last September at Vancouver. ' n O O

“All of which means that Locke will have to be in top form come June if he is to have his name in- scribed for a second time on‘ the winners’ scroll inside the Seagram Gold Cup."

With local smrtlng activity a minus quantity at the present time, Charlottetown sport fans experienced probably their quiet- est week-end in many months, with the exception of those who had their ears glued to their ra- dlos on Saturday night to hear the last and all-tusportant game between Toronto and Detroit. for the Stanley Cup championship.

DRINKING. SMOKING EXPENSIVE HABITS

DUNDEE, Scotland. April i5 — (CP)— George Mothers, Labor member of parliament for Linlith- gow and Lord High Commissioner to the Church of Scotland Gener- al Assembly, said in an address he feared the United Kingdom was in danger of becoming very largely a nation of "addicts."

He said that in 1947 $678,000.00) ($2,712 000.000) was spent on al- cohol, 2690000000 on tobacco and at: estimated $700,000,000 in gamb-

B. "If we are really patriotic we will try to improve the standards of our country." said Mothers. “We will try to put such expenditure into other and better channels."

Those who followed the way of self-indulgence which involved not only expenditure but the wastage of health were doing something contrary to the pllibllC interest. It was time ‘those who could not deny themselves these things were dealt with. _

The Toronto triumph vvrotes new page for hookeyh recordbook. They added these firsts to the 22- year N.H.L.' record: First club to win the trophy three consecutive times; first .to win it six times; first to win it five times in eight seasons; first to score l2 cornecuiivo victories ‘in cup final play. And it was the fifth cw win in nine seasons as a coach for Clarence (Hap) Day.

The trophy Lord Stanley of Preston donated in 15B was canted out to centre ice as the Bed Wings akatcd up to congratulate the team which beat them out. Clarence Campbell, N.H.L. president. pre- sented it to Ted Kennedy centre and captain of the Toronto chib.

Leafs Too Speedy

The Wings fought doggedly to halt Toronto's cup-winning march but the Leafs had too much speed. The Wings scored the first goal. Ilef-twinger Ted Lindsay, top Detroit threat all through the game, drove the purr: past Toronto's ' Turk Broda in the first period after a ewerving rush shook off two lead‘: and put him in front of the goal.

But Detroit-banking mainly on its big line of Sid Abel, Gordon Howe and Lindssy-faltered in the second period. Rookie Ray Timgren batted Max Bentley's rebound past goalie Harry Lumiey for the tying goal at the midway mark while De-

ploying without a stick. started the play for the winning counter. He kicked the puck to defenccmsn Jim ‘Thomson in the centre ice none. Thomson relayed it to Cal Gardner who dashed in and sent an ankle"- high drive skimming lust inside the

Bentley made victory certain late in the third period with a 15-foot sizzler on which Lilmley didn't have a. chance. '

The shots on goal reflected the play. The Wings drove therpiuck at Broditfive times in the first period whenlstnnley handled alt. But in thelast twp the Leafs had a. 25-10 shooting margin and only Lumleys standout work kept the score down to three.

‘Referee Bill Chadwick dealt out nine penalties-five to the Wings, and four to the Leafs.

The game was clean though rug- god. like the other three .in ser- ies.

The Leafs amazed all but their most ardent backers with their brilliant showing in the playoffs- a marked contrast to their per- formance in the scheduled season when they finished up in fourth place and couldn't win any more than two games in a row.

The Leafs began their u-gune cup-final win streak against Mont- real Canadians two years ago. They lost the first game of the 194'! series 6-0 and then rallied to take four in a row. ‘Iihey knocked off the Red Wings in four straight last year. They had two earlier conquests of the Wings in finals, coming c-ut on top by four-games-to-thrce mar- gins in 1943 and 1945.
