That the Toronto Blue Jays lead both major leagues with the most double plays, now at 92. Interesting exhibits If you haven't visited Canada's Sports Hall of Fame at Exhibition Place recently, you should plan a trip. It has grown to twice the size it was in 1978, when a major expansion program was started. It now features a whole new exhibit floor filled with exciting displays on Canada's sports heritage. The new area is called the Gallery of Canadian Sport, and tells the story of the development of sport in Canada. At its entrance, to greet the, visitor, is one of North America's earliest sportsmen, an Algonquin In- dian, dressed and scarred as he would have been cen- turies ago, Those who are not too startled by him pause and notice that he is surrounded by displays of four sports that haye deep roots in the story of organiz- ed sport in Canada. A small display on snowshoeing can be seen, made up of the medals and snowshoes of two of Canada's pioneers in the sport. Snowshoeing was the first recreational activity that led to the formation of our earliest sporting clubs, and it was from these clubs that other sports, particularly modern lacrosse, came into being. Our Indian friend is not the entire lacrosse display. Sticks from its earliest days, photographs and documents and even the memorabilia of Canada's 1978 world champion team can be seen by visitors. In the same immediate area are the stories of hockey and football. Organized with the help of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and the Hockey Hall of Fame, they are understandably popular displays. Amusement is found in the newspaper story from 1907 which exclaims, "Fabulous Salaries For Players". It goes on to recount that a total of $7,500 for the season was being offered for the services of not one but three players! Some things never change. Old uniforms and helmets make up much of the football display. A copy of an old Spalding sportswear catalogue nearby helps to locate their time and place. Photos of early noseguards, which were literally just that, being hollow rubber nose shaped pieces that players tied to their heads, also amuse visitors. Moving to another area, a lot of attention is devoted to soccer, with some of its oldest and newest trophies on display. Blue Jay fans find much of in- terest in the baseball display, but there is a uniform from the Toronto Maple Leafs to remind them that professional baseball has a lengthy history in Toronto. Throughout all the displays there is an attempt to show the equipment used in each sport. There are old wooden skates, as well as those used by the great Toiler Cranston. Wood golf clubs from the turn of the century recall a time when golfers had to contend with lighter andlessdense golf balls. The earliest balls were known as "featheries", and were simple sewn pieces of cowhide stuffed with exactly 40 goose feathers. They did not travel very far and did have a tenden- cy to lost their shape and absorb water. As harder and better manufactured golf balls came into being, golf clubs changed to handle the new balls. Today's golf balls would quickly snap off heads of the early wooden clubs. Early wood and iron curling "stones" are also dis- played in the new gallery. Nearby, however, is perhaps the most spectacular display of all, the one devoted to cycling. A half dozen bicycles are tricycles from the turn of the century are testimony to a hun- dred years of man's inventiveness. A shining chromed "Columbia" is displayed, an excellent example of the high wheeled "penny farthings" that were so popular in the 1880s. Next to it is E. _ Inge contraption known as a "Coventry Rotary", The rider sits on a seat between a set of two small wheels, on one side, which steer this tricycle, and a large chain driven wheel on the other which powers it forward. Perhaps even stranger still is the "Starley Royal Salvo" which was built in 1886. It was a favourite of Queen Victoria, who ordered three such cycles for her own personal use. The cycles are being loaned to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame by Lorne Shields of Maple, Ontario who has possibly the most extensive collection of cycling memorabilia of anyone in the world.
