i,.EAFS, HAPS IN IRON MAN SERIES
Hold onto your hats gang! It looks as though
Punch Imlach has found that magic wand: again!
Tuesday night's rousing 3.2 .overtime victory nas .shot
the .Sinythemen right hack into the thick of the race
for the Stanley Cup champagne. The way the Mapleos.
went about things in the third game of the finals,
every member on the roster must be getting thirsty!
For the first time in the Hab exchange, the Leafs
didn't leave the game midway through the third
period.
For Toronto, it was a well earned victory in
what we thought was a poorly refereed contest. How-
ever, if Powers :hadcalled everything according to
Hoyle, the sin -bin would have been filled all night.
To make the playoffs more dramatic, we feel you
must leave a certain amount of illegalness go but
when a player gets cracked over ' the head for 12
stitches and nothing is done, then it has gone too
far. Tim Horton took the full wallop of Geoffrion's
stick on the scalp late in the first period but he
certainly didn't let it effect his play. We thought
that Tim, along with Bert Olmstead, Johnny Bower,
Carl Brewer, Dick Duff, Larry Regan and George
Armstrong were the mainstays in carrying the mail
for the Leafs.
It will certainly be a miracle if Toronto can
come back and upset the Habs. We'd like to see it
done but we sincerely have our doubts. The first two
games in Montreal looked as though the boys were
being separated from the men. The more experienced
Habs made their- opportunitiees count while the over-
anxious Leafs did everything but score. Leafs' shoot-
ing in Tuesday's contest was lousy! In the first
period, they must have peppered 15 shots in the
direction of Plante without one hitting the net once,
We feel if Montreal had had' so many chances,
the Torontonians would be three games down in the
series. However, the- Mapleos had the legs to carry
them through the masterminding of Toe Blake. The
only way we can see Toronto copping the cup is to
continually rough up the Montreal machine. Playing.
strictly to a straight passing game with the Canucks
means curtains! If. the Leafs can hold' out physically
andcontinue their tenacious checking, we'll call the
shot that the Canadiens have had itl
6 -CENT FINE ROCKED THE NATION!
Any baseball fan can tell you the number of
.home runs Mickey. Mantle belted last year or the
salary of Ted Williams. But can he tell you who
wore the first baseball glove? Or what player was
the first to catch a ball dropped from the Washing-
ton Monument?
Statistics will be flying thick and fast now
that the baseball season is here even though Detroit
Tigers have failed to win a game in four starts. (Don't
give up the ship yet, Batch, the Bengals are sure to
win at least one of the remaining .152 games!) For
those who really want to impress their wives or
girl friends as a genius in the baseball field at the
next house party or outing, here are some baseball
firsts, compiled by the research department of The
World Book Encyclopedia..,,'
The first clash between a player and his arch
enemy -the umpire -occurred June 19, 1846, when
the Knickerbocker Club of New York played the New
York Baseball Club at Elysian Fields in Hoboken,
N.J. A player named Davis was fined six cents for
cussing the man in blue. How about that! The umpire
was Alexander Cartwright, a leading player for the
Knicks, who had chosen one of the toughest profes-
sions possible.
That game was also the first instance of tekifi'
baseball as we know it. The New York club won 23-1
after four innings. The Knickerbocker Club, formed
in 1845, was the first regular baseball organization.
And in their third season, the members donned blue
and white uniforms to become the first team uni-
formly outfitted.
A breach of baseballetiquette made Al Reach
the first paid ball player. In 1864, it was considered
unethical for a player to "jump" from one team to
another. Reach, however, deserted the Brooklyn At-
lantics when he was offered money by the Philadel-
phia Athletics. Five years later, the. Cincinatti Red
Stockings turned professional and became the first
salaried team.
In those days, baseball was far from the
gentlemanly game the Knickerbockers had played.
A player might leave the field bleeding or uncon-
scious after stopping a fast ball, but he refused to
baby himself by wearing protective equipment.
In 1875, however, Charles Waite, first base-
man, for Boston, put on a glove -flesh -coloured, so
the fans wouldn't notice it. A. G. Spalding finally
wore a, dark brown glove, adding stuffing to it a
little at a time.
The first catcher's mask was developed in
1878 fora Harvard player who preferred being called
a sissy to having his fine Barrymore profile smashed.
Stillwondering about the Washington Monument?
Well, Billy 'Pop" Sch.river, of a Chicago ball club
caught a. ball droppedfrom the 500 -foot levelof the
Memorial in 1892! Just a grandstander -but that's
baseball.

BASEBALL ENJOYED BY MANY TODAY
The difference between baseball today and
yesterday is like night and day. Thousands of people
travel hundreds of miles to see their favourite teams
in' action. For instance, just think of the number of
car loads, buses and train ekcursions that make trips
in a season to Detroit alone, Doubleheaders are one
of the big drawing attractions of today's game. De-
spite the fact that games are long and drawn out,
true fans don't mind a four or five hour sit in the
stadium seats,
Times certainly have changed. Just imagine an
Umpire fining Mickey Mantle or Ted Williams six
cents for pulling off a bat throwing or spitting act!
Arid just imagine players of this calibre playing for
peanuts on a major league team. Today, the first
thing a' player asks is how much will you pay? Then
he goes out and performs the way he is expected to,
Paying players to participate in sports has not only
got a stranglehold on baseball hut on every sport
throughout the country. Just„ look at our own sports
in Dieter, The majority of hockey players today
expect to be paid. If there isn't a couple of dollars
waitingfor them: when they; step 'off the ice, they
figure it's not worth while. Mind you, all players
haven't this attitude but the majority ,have, Where
will it all and you ask" Brother, diet's the sixty-four
thousand dollar question!'
