DALY RE-VISITED
Tim Daly, the Leaf's color-bearer and locker-room raconteur, was briefly
this column a few weeks ago, but his endless stories about the big-time
, in hockey and baseball, would give any sport writer a fund of materia) from,
Falryland

Or r hat sets - size® i, ex
■ f * ......
Gabardine, Corduroy, Tweed, Suede & Flannel
At a recent smoker, while the ageless Mr. Daly was brushing away the
cares of day, and remarking, “I didn’t think I’d draw flies so soon", he
went on to illustrate how youngsters today have a magnificent chance .to get
a training in sport, which the old-timers would have fought for.
When Tim first joined the Leafs (hockey and baseball varieties, both),
he remembers how the equipment for the teams could be put into one box
for shipping to cities along the circuit. This box, according to Daly, re-
I sembled somewhat a coffin, and he reminisced that with some of the dead
head players they had, it was most appropriate. To show the difference to
day, when players are decked out in what amounts to a suit of armor, Daly’s
job has become somewhat complicated. Tim remarked, “you'd think you
had three vaudeville shows running at the sarqe time”. The hockey Leaf’s
equipment now takes up room in six trunks, and that's only their road equip
ment. The other two sets of sweaters, sticks, skates, etc., are kept at Maple
Leaf Gardens.
Today, the hockey kids, and Daly
loves the rookies because he was a
rookie once, come complete with built-
in headgear. But above all, according
to Daly, the boys have a chance for
an education, besides all the other
amenities of hockey life.
Despite carping criticism about the
Simon Legree tactics of major league
teams, Daly intimates that young
hockey players have never had it so
good. They’re building gentlemen,
besides hockey stars, and rough-and-
ready Daly doesn’t mind a bit. The
diamond-in-the-rough holds out little)
hope of ever becoming polished, but
he’s willing to let a little of the
sparkle rub off on him!

The
think they have a real find in KENNY
HODGKINSON, big right-winger of
the WINGHAM LIONS BUDGETS,
who last week was corraled by HOW
IE MEEKER. Ken is going to ST.
MIKE’S in the fall and will be play
ing for the Buzzers, the Junior “B”
team at the school. . . . Highest praise
for the likeable, blonde speedster
came from no less a personage than
the fiery Frank “KING” CLANCY,
who remarked when he saw Hodgy,
“Shades of old SID HOWE!” . . .
Another boy, this time in baseball,
who is getting a merry whirl by the
major league scouts is JERRY FRY-
FOGLE, who continues to impress
with his blazing fastball. Over the
.week-end Jerry worked out with the
HORNELL DODGERS of the PONY
[LEAGUE, the class “D” affiliate of
[ the parent Brooklyn club. The Dodg
ers were in Hamilton for a game with
the hometown Cardinals and scout
DOUG MOWRY and other Dodger
officials were more than pleased with
Jerry’s brief stint at batting practice.
It is known that Mowry offered the
boy S1500 bonus to sign, but at last
report bidding was still brisk, with
the latest entry being the NEW YORK
GIANTS, who are sending in their
Canadian scout, HERB BUCHANAN,
to take a look-see at the speed-ball
flinger. Under minor, league base
ball rules, Jerry became eligible to
sign a pro contract as of yesterday.
. . Plans are underway to give Wing
ham a smattering of softball this sum
mer. A four-team town league is in
the works for the Wingham park
this year. Otherwise the ball situ
ation is rather quiet,
sympathy goes out from
men in the area to Alt
treasurer of the WOAA,
of the hockey Towne Hallers, in his
recent bereavement in the loss of his
wife. Sincere condolences to the
Lockridge family.
