Roy acknow- | Jedged with sincerest appreciation the tribute the folks had paid | him. It was a night he will never forget and it surely must have made his great physical handicap seem not nearly so great. | Yes, 93,103 persons paid way into the Colkecdea for this friendly game. It was ne seven thousand persons more than jammed Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium on that October Sun- | day in 1948 when the Indians were playing hosts to Boston Braves | in the world series.

SPORT FANS are pretty rough at times. They can get on a ~ player and almost ride him out of the league. They can be im- patient and at times downright unjust. Very often they lose il trace of common sense if their team is taking a lacing from an

However, in spite ‘of all these faults, sports fans are a most sentimental lot. Show them a worthwhile cause and they'll respond most generously. They don’t soon forget what great guys have) done in various branches of sport.

And so it was in the Campanella case. Everybody loved the big fellow and that love still continued even though he has ceased to be an active player. : :

When we hear and read these grim stories about racial pre- fudices in parts of this continent, demonstrations like the one at) Los Angeles Thursday night restore some of our faith in humanity. | None of these 93,103 folks worried about the fact that Campy is a| Negro. To. them. he was just a great baseball performer who met with a miszhty tough break.

This wheelchair business must get Campy down at times. How- ever, when a fellow finds out how much sports fans think of him, it surely must make things a whole lot better.

Campanella has no doubt now about his popularity among baseball fans. If he ever had such doubts, Thursday night would surely dispell them.

However, Stengel called one of his, batters back in the late innings of that 3-2 ten inning battle and sent a pinch hitter up to the plate. The crowd got one look and they let out.a rear of ap- proval. It was Enos ‘Country’ Slaughter who had performed with the Athletics before going to the Yankees. The folks loved ‘Coun- try’ w! he wore a Kansas City uniform but the fact that he was garbed in Yankee dress didn’t make the folks forget the old campaigner. They gave him a great ovation and you.can bet Slaughter really appreciated it.

Another example of what true sport fans are really like.

The r hurler held the fast-moving Giants to half a dozen base and one run as the Los Angeles gang eked out a 2-1 decision Over Jack Sanford. Podres and Drysdale appear headed

for good years and if Williams can be put in the same class, the Alstonites may prove very troublesome.

Norm Larker, who came on to play first base after Gil Hodges was injured, drove in all the Dodgers’ runs with a two-run homer. Willie Mays was the only Giant batter to trouble Williams. Willie collected half of the ’ hits.

AND SPEAKING of Willie Mays reminds us that there was a time when Mays did practically all the patrolling in the Giants’

3 Teams Are Represented At Softball Meeting

Only three teams were repre- sented at a meeting of the City Softball League last night at Union Hall on Queen Street, B.I.S. Shamrocks, Juoior B.Y.C. ; and Rollaway sending delegates.

Barry Moore, coach of last | year’s Parkdale Lions, is uncer- tain whether he will enter a team or not. Should he decline, Harold Hennessey has shown desire of forming.a—4th team. Deadline a this- 4th team is May

It was decided that games will be played on Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thursday of each week.

Regular practices will be held starting Monday night and each team will have a number as fol- lows: B.I1.S.—1; B.Y.C.—2: Roll- away—3; The other team will carry the number 4. Notices of practices will appear in the news- Papers.

Argos Obtain Cookie Gilchrist

TORONTO (CP)—Toronto Argo- nauts of the Big Four Football Union have obtained Cookie Gil- christ, powerful running fullback, from Saskatchewan Roughriders in a trade for two players and an undisclosed amount of cash.

The two Toronto players sent to the Western Interprovincial Football Union club Friday are defensive end Menan Schriewer and defensive halfback Lou Elias.

The hard-to-handle Gilchrist re- turns to the Big Four after a one-year stint in the WIFU. He was one of the top ground gainers in the western league and in the Big Four where he played for two years with Hamilton Tiger- Cats before being sold to the Roughriders last May.

Hamilton let him go because he was feuding with coach Jim Trimble after playing a big ‘part in the Tiger-Cats’ march to the Grey Cup title in 1957.

Ted Kluszewski Won't Give Up

PITTSBURGH (AP)—Muscular Ted Kluszewski of Pittsburgh Pirates, used mostly as a pinch- hitter this season, just won't give up in his battle for the re@ijar. first base job.

The big slugger came off the bench Thursday night to start against Philadelphia Phillies. He quickly pepped up the sagging Pirate offence with two singles and a 10th inning home run for a 54 victory.

Klu raised his batting average to .480 with 12 hits in 25 trips. The homer was his first of the

E ‘

described as “a trotting fool.” The above information is tak- en from an article from “The Horseman and Fair World’’ sent them by Jimmy Dunnigan Jr., a noted harness writer in Cali- fornia. He ends with: “Here is one stable that will not have be announced when it arriv- on the racing scene. As soon Mr. O’Brien decides it's time climb those Rocky Mounitsna and head across that Ole Man

year.

Afterward, Kluszewski observed happily that he believes he can keep right on hitting if he can play regulary. He added:

“I just know the more I play, the better I hit.

Norman Woolworth, one of the famous Woolworth brothers, owners of the five-and-ten-cent and also the owner of one of the leading rac- ing stables that performs on the Grand Circuit and at larger tracks, made his appearance as a driver last week at Yonkers Raceway and won with his home- bred pacer by Knight Star, West Indies, in a romp in 2.09 2-5.
