WILL OFFICIATE

The opening sum of the chem- pionship campaigns will haom loudest west of the Alleghenies, with the flag-winning Chicago Cubs invading the stronghold of their bitterest rivals in St. Louis, and the world champion Detroit Tigers moving into the baiiiwick of the ambitious Cleveland Indians," but the crowds will be biggest at the other two National League openers.

Dodgers Vs Giants

Brooklyn's entirely reconstructed learn. flanked by loyal meters from Flatbush, will move across the riv- er to meet New York's Giants be- fore n. near-capacity crowd of 55.- 000 at the Polo Grounds. Cincin- M" expects a “ t attendance for 30,000 for the opener with Pittsburgh Pirates.

All told, 115,000 fans are expect- ed to witness the National League's introductory show, featuring a pitching duel at St. Louis between the great Dizzy Dean, erstwhile super-heteolodyne of the holdouts. and Lonnie Warneke, no. 1 man of the Chicago sharp-shooting staff.

Will Draw 80.000

Tile four American League open- ers, it ls‘estimated. will draw no more than 80.000. due mainly to the fact that the Tigers and Yiinkees are obliged by the schedule to open away from their enlarged home parks. Top crowds of 25,000 likely will see "Schoolboy" Rowe, youth- ful pitching giant of the Tigers. oppose Mel Harder, big chief of the Indians, while Wes Ferrell goes to theflrlng line for the elaborately built Boston Red Sox against Phil- adelphia Athletics, — survivors of baseball's biggest "sellout."

This year's campaign will offer the fans a quicker chance to size up their favorites ‘and determine whether the experts were justified in establishing Detroit Tigers and st. Louis Cardinals es pennant choices. The three-game series plan will operate for the first time. Both pennant races appear like- ly to be close.

Goal Sticks Too Large Says Ross

MONTREAL. April 13—Art Ross can slway! be counted on for a new idea concerning his first love- hockey.

The genecal manager of Boston Bruins was backed into it corner here today and asked what was the latest.

"Well. I am going to propose that goaltenders be forced to use the same sticks as the other plwers. The fans want more goals and how are you going to score against goal- tenders equipped with clubs as big as cricket bats? The goalers are Just too good for the forwards. And there's no use talking about a rule to prevent netmlnders from drop- plrit to the ice. We tried that be- fci and it failed. They'll go down Just. the some and say they fell by accident.”

Assuming Frank Patrick did not return to Boston Bruins would Eddie Shore become playing‘ mail- ager, Ross was asked.

“I cannot say at this moment. Personally I do not think it would be a wise move. In the first place, hockey is too tough a game for a playing manager and in the sec- ond. Eddle is much too valuable a player to ruin him by loading so much responsibility on. his should- ers_ A defenceman these days has all he can do watching opposing forwards without having to keep an eye on his own."

His reply was "absolutely not" when asked if he would rctum to the bench management himself. “Why should I leave the business end r: the game and go looking for trouble?"

He would be interested in swap- ping one of his defenoemen for it forward he said before leaving to- night for: Boston.

He intimated if Canadiens were interested in Jack Portland. whom they once owned. he might make a deal. Teddy Graham and Flash I-Iollet were likely to stay with Bruins and Shore and Babe Siebert. his all-star defence. were not con- sidered in prospective deals.

Ross spoke highly of Ray Get- liffe, former‘ Stratford and Saint John star, who joined the Bruin Cubs halfway through the Can- adian-Am-erlcan season. He expects him to blossom out as a National League star next year. Three crack

Ontario amateurs will be tried out. Melton Schmidt. centre from Kitchener, Roy Conacller. brother of Lionel and Charlie and right wing of West Toronto Nationals. and Johnny Crawford. defenccmail of the same club.

Amateur Regulations Are

Relaxed By ' C. A. H.A.; A.A.U. Of C. ‘Break Seen

Control Of Movement Of Canadian Hockey Players To United States Legislnted For.

T (By Elmer Dulmage, Canadian Press Stall Writer) (By Guardialfs Special Wire)

TORONTO, April 13.-—-Relaxation of age-old smatcur regulations was confirmed today at the annual meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. endangering the affiliation of the C. A. H. A. with the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada. Hockey's international relations, also under dlscu"sion, were likewise jeopardized by the action.

Should it develop that the A. A. U. of C. refused to adopt hockey’s new definition of an amateur, and the C. A. H. A. stands behind its resolution, designed to eliminate "shama.teurism,” a. definite breach would be opened between the countryls two largest a.malcIl.r_sport bodies.

Proposals that the A. A. u. will l

consider asking its allied members‘ to vote upon, are:

1. Professionals in other sports shall be regarded as amateur hodtey players by the C. A. H. A.

2. Players may capitalize on their ability as hockey players to obtain legitimate employment.

3. Players may accept from clubs or employers payment for time lost from work for the purpose of com- peting.

4. Amateur and professional teams may play exhibition games. within the discretion of the C. A. H. A. branches concerned:

N0 OPPOSITION

The four alterations to the ama- teur code were approved without oppdsitioll by the com‘eni.lon, and President W. A. Fry of the A. A. U. of C. said he would conduct a mall vote of A. A. U. branches before June 15. '

When the vote is finished, the C. A. H. A. executive will have authority to act on the code chall- ges. Association hiliclals lllterpl'e- ted this procedure as merely a for- mality. holding lilo view that the executive would not be able to de- fer placing of the new regulations in the constitution.

In the event that the amateur machinery will not assimilate the most drastic fulldalllclltal changes to the code in years. the C. A. H, A. will lose its stnllding in interna- tional afiairs. Its connection with such events as the Olympic Games exists through the A. A. U. of C.

Wllilc hockey tllroughollt. this continent and Europe is conducted broadly by the Illtrenational Ice Hockey l’<‘edel~at.lon, the C. A. H. A. has always gained its status through the A. A. U.

"It would be most unfortunate for both the A. A. U. of C. mid the C. A. H. A. should we find ourselves unable to i‘.gl‘f.‘B on this matter," the convention was told by Fly, who

-sought llnsuccessfury to have action

on the resolutions deferred until af- ter the next A. A. U. of C. C011V0Il- tion in November. _

Only ii few hours after delil_1I1B decisively with it question affecting its amateur relations. the conven- tion opened a discussion with a. committee of the Amateur Athleiic Union of the United States on the movement of amateur hockey play‘ ers from Canada to the U. B.

To CONTROL FLOW T0 STATES

Preliminary talk on the C01lV011' tion floor seemed to indicate Can- adian imd United states hockey authorities, both anxious to bi-ms the player-movement under conlrol. would reach an agreement along these lines. _

1. Oll'y one registered Canadian player from ll. single team could nlovc to the United States during any one scnholl. He must first be given it l-clcasc by his club.

2. United states teams lnust apply fol‘ transfer of Crllaillnll players prior to Aug. 1 this .\‘l‘m'- “R.aidiug" of Canadian teams would be eliminzllcrl.

3. Alli‘! the -'I‘l|:»0I\v transfers luust. take place l>t‘im'e Jan. l of the year prior to \\‘h1<‘l1 the pln1.'(": lllzly compete.

The American officials said they were confident amateur hockey in the United States, which admittedly had got out of hand. could be con- trolled if an agreement on player- transfers was reached. It was hop- ed the sport would come completely under A. A. U. supervision.

Gllroy. referring to the sport on the other side of the border as "so- called amateur hockey," said he understood Canadian players enter- ed the country under bond as pro- fessionals in order to quali’v under immigration laws. Graves -;tid he knew of a case at Detroit.

The C. A. H. A. passed several amendments to playing rules during a busy early session and decided to delete H. specification that persons connected with professional sport were barred from sitting on the players’ bench.

A scheduled night session was cancelled and many of i"e dele- gates viewed the Memc.1al cup final. It was indicated the conven- tion could not wind up before to-

morrow night. It started Friday.

B

That is vvhy on every school day over 200,000 boys gaily mount their C.C.M. Bikes and ride easily and swiftly offto school. They got what they expected in their C.C.M.'s and they told their pals.

When you go to buy a bicycle look for the things that over 200,000 boys have found in their C.C.M. Bicycles.

The "straight-line drive" is the final proof of C.C.M.'s precision methods of manufacture. You will find that the perfectly straight alignment of the two sprockets under all riding conditions causes the chain to run

smoothly and with a minimum of friction. Ride the bicycle and you will see that the back wheel tracks in a perfectly straight line behind the front one. These are the things that make for smooth, effortless riding.

Check the pedals and crank hanger and note the easy-running qualities of C.C.M. bearings. Look for a real coaster brake that is free-running yet quick and smooth-acting as a brake. C.C.M.'s Hercules coaster brake is everything a brake should be. Look at the wheels and see that the spokes are rustless and that the tires are the famous Dunlops. Look the entire bicycle over completelyfor every detail ofwhat you think a bicycle should be.

lfyou look for all these things. and remember also that 200,000 other boys have done the same thing and then bought a C.C.M., you too will buy a
