COME EARLY, and SEE DALEY! After you’ve been in sport for 50 years, you’re liable to build up a glowing repetoire of funny stories. These are fhe stories that make you a favorite in the banquet league. TIM DALEY, trainer and stick-boy extraordinary of the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS is a- fella who’s been living in locker rooms for half a century, and when he emerges into the dingy light of a smoker, he’s just about the funniest guy around. At a recent bun feed, Daley told his stock story about the Maple Leafs, but his eyes really gleamed when he recounted his days as a lightweight boxer. Good times with Stanley Cup champions and all that, have put on a few extra pounds on the Daley frame, but the mind is still nimble when he recalls his exploits in the squared circle, no matter how humble they may be. Daley likes to recall the year 1913, when as a better than average light­ weight he fought at the old Boston Gardens. There was only one thing that worried him in those days, and that was the billing he got, Big, black letters would proclaim the bout, and right under them would be the cap­ tion . . , “Come early, and see Daley on his feet”! In one of those Boston fights he was knocked out, and he got to Providence before he woke up. That cured Mr. Daley of any further ring aspirations, but he never gave up --• sport, and never will. high triple B. McCullough, 666. Daley is a throw-back to the color- ( High team score Orioles, 2815. ful days of vaudeville, and he usually brings a foil along with him, in 1 case we’re thinking of it was ERIC NESTERENKO. They do a sort of Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean routine, and when it’s all over they bow gracefully and make their exit. Call it goodwill, public relations or what have you, it’s strictly for his bosses, the Maple Leafs. Daley admitted that at his age, the banquet circuit is a lot tougher than were the days of his slim, svelte figure. Whenever he appears at ban­ quets, smokers and locker-room ses­ sions, the cry still goes up, “Come early and see Daley on his feet”. SPORTRAITS It’s definite now that Wingham has­ n’t any plans for a return trip to Major Fastball ... 'at least Tuesday’s meeting, besides Wingham, there were two other prominent absentees. The LUCKNOW LEGIONAIRES and WALKERTON HARTLEYS did not attend the season’s first get-together . . . Lucknow has repeatedly said that they won’t be around, while Walkerton' is still milling over an invitation to attend the BRITISH EMPIRE GAMES in Vancouver at the end of July . . . The entry dead­ line has been set for May 1st, and another meeting for May 4th to draw up the schedule. A pleasant surprise was the appearance of DAVE JEF­ FREYS and his coterie from “ ELGIN. The Elgins were an known quantity right up until time of the meeting, but with return of part-owner and catcher ALEX McNEIL, the Elgins will be back in for another whirl . . . had a short chat with KEVIN BELL of KINCARDINE at the DETROIT RED WING’S Hockey School in Harriston . . . Kevin has just return­ ed from the MONTREAL CANAD- IENS spring training camp in Mont­ real. Kev reports an excellent time, but still doesn’t knpw' where his future lies. I noticed, though, that he was sporting a new, cream­ colored Canadien’s jacket. I couldn’t think of a more ambiguous situation ... a Canadien’s prospect at a De­ troit Red Wing hockey camp, and on the eve of the final playoff, too! yl Highlights of the finals, ,®'high single, Mrs. W.
