DECEMBER 22. 1951 Rolls Olalm lI.lf. Football Players Are Only Slaves MOSCOW. Dec. 21 -(AP) Britons may never be slaves. but the magazine Soviet Sport says British football players are. The British football players. the current issue of the magazine said today, are like vessels and slaves bound to their masters. and the former Labor Government was held by the paper to be respons- ible. The magazine. surveying the British football situation, said that families of several players who refused to sign "contracts of en- slavement" now are homeless and that the rest of the professional football players are "miserably paid." u. 5. Cost oillving Reaches New High wasmuorou. Dec. 21 -(cm ' - The cost of living in the Unit- ed states rose to another new high during November, chiefly as the result of higher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables and miscellaneous goods and services. The cost-of-living index rose .6 per cent to the new peak of 138.0 per cent of the 1035-30 base level. As a result. approximately 1.250.000 railroad workers will get a pay boost of four cents an hour. Their wage scales are tied to the rise and fall of the index.

Pheasants have one advantage over the Hunt! when the going gets tough. They can alight in trees and eat the leaf buds. Huns have no hind toe for gripping a limb and are thus grounded. The same may be said in the animal world. The skunks and rac- coons have it over the foxes when dcep snows blanket the country- side and wintry winds howl through the darkened woods. skunks sleep it out in some warm underground rich or under a burn or haystack.

Dec, 21 -- (CP)-Moncton Hawks, beset with money troubles and shadowed with threats of heavy fines and being disbanded. were permitted to play Glace Bay Miners in their regular Maritime Major Hockey League game here tonight. League President .1. Elliott Hud- son said permission was granted to "give the city of Moncton an opportunity of keeping its entry in the league." The permission was granted des- pite the fact that Hawks did not play a scheduled game in Halifax last night and did not notify St. Mary's of their inability to per- form there due to lack of finances until yesterday afternoon, the president said. "Under the league's constitution the Hawks club could have been fined 51,000 for their non-appear- ance in Halifax, and they could have been suspended and fined successive amounts of 31,000 for not playing any further games until these amounts were paid," he said. Last night the club appealed for help to Moncton City Council but were offered only free rink use during league games. Hawks players refused to go to Halifax for a scheduled game be- cause Lhcy hadn't been paid. Club officials said the players were owed one week's pay. another play would be due next Monday and they have no immediate plans. Judge Hudson added that "In view of the fact that Hawks play- ers have not been paid their sal- aries, Hawks are being permitted to play tonight's game so that the players can be paid, on condition that the City of Mdncton deduct 51,000 from Moncton's next home game gate and retain it until Hawks play last night's game in Halifax on any date named by the Halifax club." Another condit- ion was that the Moncton club reimburse the Halifax club its out of pocket ex- penses incurred in connection with the cancelled game. The league president said these conditions were agreed to by both President Lebarron Reid of Hawks. and Alderman Vaughan Harvey. is M.M.H.L. vice-president and city rink commissioner. He added: ing to organize a new club it the present one went into liquidation deserves the ommendatlon of Moncton and Maritime fandom. Since his offer was turned down, the league and City of Moncton and its lovers of hockey can ex- pect that the present owners will keep the club in operation. or if they cannot do so that they will let the league and the city and citizens of Moncton know their plight in ample time in permit something to be worked out. Cer- tainly anobher failure to appear because of lack of funds cannot be tolerated, "'Ilhe Moncton Hawks Clubmust be severely censured for their non- nppearance in Halifax two days after Halifax had played in Mono- tnn. If it had informed Halifax of its pennlleas condition in time I am certain that their travelling expenses would have been ad- vanced by Halifax and deducted from the 10 cents per paid admis- sion which they would have re- ceived after last night's game if it had been played. This would have assured them of tonight's game helng played. By doing so the Hawks would have kept faith with Halifax St. Mary's, the league, and the city and fans of Moncton." able should be given a place in the Western European defence armies, thereby releasing Western Europeans for work in factories, or on farms. Russian touchlness about such escapees is an old story. After the Second World War Russian dele- gates to the U. N. relief and re- habilitation meeting tried to pre- vent fuli-rcale aid to any Ukrain- ians caught in Europe. Since then the Russians haw tried to deny Ukrainians the right to live in in- ternational refugee camps. Mos- oow wanted them all sent home. Most of the Ukrainians told In- ternational Relief Organization of- ficlals that they had no wlsi to live again under Communism, And one of the Russian delegates to the 1947 U. N. Assembly told this reporter that they wanted the Ukrainians home in the Soviet Union because they had fought. with the Germans during the Sec- ond World War. He unwittingly revealed that some Ukrainians. at least. had given concrete proof that they didn't like Moscow-'s rule. Now a new stream of refugees is finding its way out of the soviet orbit. The West can't Ignore them Vlshlnsky wants the U. N, to cen- sure the U. S. for voting the first large sum to care for them. He performed a nice job for the West in doing it: no again threw the world spot light on how un- savory communism can be to the people caught under ll. 'l'0'I'rENl-IAM. England--(CPL.

Among the drivers, Frank Ervin of sedaiia. Mo.. took down second place with seven new records to his credit. Wilbur Beattle, Prince Jay's driver ranked third with six. The most important record broken during the campaign was the all- ilme mark over a half mile track This fell to Sampson Hanover who went in 1.50 3-5 at Delaware, 0., in September and thus became the first horse ever to race in better than two minutes over a minor course. We had a telephone chat with Harry Hirsch. Sydney, Wednesday afternoon and learned that his free-for-aller, super Hal 2.0144 has arrived and is stabled with 24 oth- er horses owned by various parties, at the sports Centre in Sydney Harry had an excellent season last year with his stable, full partic- ulars of which will appear in our Review last week. We also had a phone conversation with Nig Mac- Dougall of New Glasgow, N.S. who with Bert Cruikshank. owner of Brewer's Gallon 2.00 4-5. spent a couple of weeks in California where they witnessed the racing which ended on Saturday, Dec. lat. They left that evening-at eleven o'clock-and were in Halifax the next morning at ten minutes to nine. Both enjoyed their visit im- msnsely and were very pleased with the success which Joe O'Brien had with his stable. his is wins making him top driver in that re- spect. Among the horsemen Nlg talked vrith was W. C. Crummer, who raced horses in Ontario for many years and was here for our Exhi- bition meet in 1934. Mr. Crummer brought the good pacer Guy the Tramp 2.02 in a trailer and we may remark that in that trailer Guy travelled some 10,000 miles, eventually landing in California where he remained until his death and incidentally was one of the actors in a movie which had a wide distribution. Mr. Crummer asked about Tom I-Iolmes. Profes- sor Rockford, the writer and oth- ers. He won two races during the nrez.-t with the pacer Swindlc sheet 203. Now gelling hack in Charlotte- town and its 1934 race meet we may say that a widely advertised free for all trot and pace with six star performers was scheduled for Friday afternoon. There was an unfortunate happening the night before the race. lire breaking out in the centre section of the stables and before it could be controlled 30 stalls were destroyed. some horses ran about the premises loose hut they were soon rounded up, All the gear was saved and in acouple of hours the horses had been niac- ed in the sterile used by the Char- lottetown Riding Club. Through the cc-operation of Si- mon Pnoli, posis and lumber were delivered at the track before six o'clock em. and Tom Harper hired a bunch of workers. At twelve o'- clock it fence ten feet high and 300 feet long filled the vacant spot cnd all the debris had been clear- cd away. There was a tremendous attendance that. afternoon. largely because of the high calibre of the pncers in the Free For All and the great nublicltv given in the visit of Toll Gate 2.00:''.'. This horse had been used in a light delivery wag- on until he was about six years of age. one day he took fright and tore away on the pace so fast that his driver talked about it and the result was that he was put in training. In a couple of years he was cleanim: up at various race nveets in Ontario and then staked heavily on the Grand Circuit where he won repeatedly and took his record. In lhe spring of 1934 he was holzcht hv Hcbcr Svxccnev. Bridge- water. N. S.. and proved it great investment. There was considerable hctting on the race and it was al- most mtlrely between the backers of Toll Gate and Guy the Tramp Toll Gate drew the pole and was never headed in the three bent: Guy the Tramn made his bid mostlv at the lhree-quarter pole but although he got to Tell Gateis su'ky that was the best he could do.
