Iry Armstrong, chairman of the Exeter Kinsmen drib's pool, reported that only Cy Blom- .maert and Jim Schroeder, both of Exeter, have claimed their prize on the first two games. Armstrong stated he still is Wailing for the other five win- ners to show up at the Hopper., Hockey Furniture store, but pointed out they have only 15 days in which to collect their money, according to the rules.

PC George Mitchell dropped in the other day to point Out that he had been one of our many area base- ball "experts" who had picked the New York Wnkees and the San Francis() Giants to meet in • the World Series—as they did. We were slightly afraid that no one would drop in and we wouldn't have a good excuse for rehashing the annual predictions. Under normal circumstances we wouldn't worry too much, but we had a bit of luck ourself this year and also picked the right clubs. However, George and I weren't alone in making the correct prognostications as Bill Mus- ser,. Bob Schroeder, "Batch" Wolfe, Aub Farquhar end Jack Fuller also had the World Series com- petitors picked out in last May's poll. Sam Rennie and Bob Russell managed to pick the Giants to top the National loop, but were away off course with their selection of Cleveland in the junior circuit. Boom Gravett also had one right When he stuck with his choices from New York. From there on, everyone's batting average dropped away down especially in the American league as Sam Rennie was the only chap who thought Minnesota could come up with a second place showing, and no one even picked the Los • Angeles Angels for the first division, let alone • third place. Bill Musser won the honor of picking the National League finishers the best, as he had the top four clubs all in their correct order, while Aub Farquhar shared the spotlight by picking the the top five teams, but had the fourth and fifth teams switched. None of the 12 ballots received listed Ralph Terry or Don Drysdale as the pitchers who would win the most games, and none thought Pete Run- nels or Tommy Davis would win the batting ;. crowns. Our "experts" also failed to name Harmon Killebrew as the top fence buster in the American league, but Sam Rennie, Murray Brintnell, Bob Russell, Aub Farquhar, "Batch" Wolfe, Ross Haugh and George Mitchell did predict Willie Mays would do it in the National loop. While it may appear that the arm chair experts didn't fare too well, it wasn't really as bad as it sounds when you consider they had 20 teams and close to 500 ball players from which to choose. IS THE JINX ON? Now that the baseball season is completed in the big leagues, hockey is moving into the `front with the NHL going full tilt on their 70-game schedule. Even with the World Series cluttering the sports pages for the past three weeks, the NHL moguls made the headlines when Jim Norris pre- sented a couple of cheques that added up to $1,000,000.00 for the Leafs' sharp-shooting Frank Mahavlich, better known as the "Big M". Naturally, any such deal had little difficulty in absorbing great globs of printers' ink, but it has now been revealed that it wasn't much more than a publicity stunt by Stafford Smythe, who accepted the offer in a party at a Toronto hotel room on the eve of the all-star game. • Apparently the party wasn't sponsored by the Ontario Temperance Federation and this may have had a bit to do with Smythe accepting the offer for his highly rated star. Most people Would doubt that any player was worth such a fabulous sum. but when you have the amount of greenbacks that Mr. Norris possesses it makes only a small dent in the bank account and would have been a good deal for he and the Chicago Black Hawks. While the situation may quickly be for- gotten by some, It could have an undermining ef- fect on big Frank because the Toronto fans will certainly be expecting him to play as a $1.000,000.00 roduct and we have a feeling he will have this act thrown out to him more often than he would wish, The last such deal that we can recall was in baseball when the Boston Red Sax offered a simi- lar amount of money for Herb Score, the fast- balling southpaw of the Cleveland Indians. The Indians decided to decline the offer as Well, but Mr. Score never did come up with the performances he had registered before and he was further "jinxed" when he was hit in the nose by a smashing line drive off the bat of Gil MacDoug- aid of the Yankees. He made a game effort at a comeback after the accident, but just didn't have it, We trust no similar circumstances will be- fall the 24-year-old Mahavolich, but we'll have to wait and see what effect this thwarted deal will have on his play this year. HE GETS OUR VOTE Although we don't have a weekly award for the gamest competitor on the local sport scene, young Mark Hoffman from Grand Bend would be an unchallenged winner this week if there was such an honor bestowed. As is noted elsewhere on this page, the husky Panther lineman suffered a broken leg in A football game this week at 'Mitchell and his actions after his injury were refreshing to us, especially after we have seen many injured players start to curse and swear and threaten to "get" their opponent who was instrumental hi their in- jury.

'ee He repeated the statement again, still ins eluding the 'sir" in respect to the two popular mentors, An interesting sidelight to the situation was that Bill Pollen was one of the Mitchell school teachers vvha came with a car to transport the. husky star to a local doctor.

At a Purple Bowl contest in London one Saturday afternoon, Bill was shaken up on a play and had to be carried to the sidelines. One usually pictures two or three players assisting these huge hulking football players off the field, but on that occasion Ted Smith picked Bill up in his arms, as one would do with a small child, and carried him off to the bench.
