Yet, all four are, in a sense, tied up in a package, Mostly, when sports scribes take their typewriters in hand to deal with the Canadian Amateur hockey Association, they dig deeply into the book of synonyms to find a variety of terms that will embrace acid criticism and biting sarcasm, directed at the C,A,H.A, and its methods. Strangely, it's seldom that any good word is spoken for the body, possibly because the "A" in the title standing for Amateur has become something of a byword, the amateurs remaining in hockey, beyoud school age, being as rare as the dodo bird. But the C.A.H.A. is quietly doing a first-rate job for struggl- ing young Canadians in a field quite apart from hockey: This is in the form of C.A.H,A, scho:arships, promoted by the Canada Foundation, and awarded annually since 1949 to provide advanced study abroad for young Canadian painters, composers and theatre students, Competition for the awards is on a national basis, and this year seventy-five applications were received from students in eight of the provinces. Since the beginning of the awards thirteen scholars have been aided in their studies in England, Scotland, France, Italy and the United States. It is something of a coincidence that, in the present yea!', one of the winners was an athlete of note, who nixes long-distance running with musical ambitions. This is Paul Collins, who received his basic musical training at Nova Scotia's Acadia University and followed this with advanced study in musical composition at the Julliard School of Music, New York and Ya!e University. ole has earned his education mainly by working at odd jobs and through winning several scholarships, Collins is well known in sport circles, having been a member of Canada's marathon team at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki and at the British Empire Games in New Zealand in 1950, The C.A.H.A, scholarship to assist the financing of advanced studies at the faculty of music in Edinburgh University will app'y to Collins, rated by many expert observers as the best long-distance runner in Canada today. Perhaps he is the only athlete who combined sport and musical ambitions who ever made an Olympic team from Canada. As a continuing indication of its interest in well balanced Canadian citizenship, the C.A.FI.A. has authorized a renewal of its scholarship assistance to advanced students of drama, painting and musical composition. Scholarships ranging in value from $500 to $2000, with an aggregate value of $4000, are offered, And so, out of the winter -long battling on the ice rinks front coast to coast, come the funds to aid annually, four young Canadians whose am- bitions are far removed frons sport in any of its varied forms. Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge Sf., Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHE5STBURG, ONTARIO SP/ORT by A SLXBITC�I . LC Baseball's Hall of Fame now bas sixty-four members — and fhe $64 question now 2s why have no many been included on the zoster at the expense of others far more deserving, a 5 5 In the list of those excluded we are not referring to guys Iike Foe DiMaggio, who had strm'" support in this year's voting in and around New Yorie anti little, we understand, outside the Metropolis. DiMag has plenty of time to make the grade and is s cinch to do so long before the 915 -year period is over. But time is running out on fellows like Rabbit Maranville, Dazzy Vance and Chief Bender; in fact the latter is no longer eligible since it is more than a quarter-century Mnee his active playing clays ended. Which seems to be rather serewey, at that, seeing that so good an authority as Connie Mack says that the Indian was one of the greatest pitchers of all time —and if .anybody should be a good judge of pitchers it's the same Mister Mack, Yet Chief Bender is on the outside looking in, and will continue to be there until they revise the rules—or get a more sensible system of vot- ing. Yet safely inside the Hall are the likes of Joe Tinker, whose life -time hitting average was a juicy .264 and who—if it hadn't been for that famous ditty about Tinker -to -Evers -to -Chance would now be forgotten. * 5 5 In this connection we recall a story they used to tell about Chief Bender when he was mow- ing them down for the Philadel- phia Athletics. Although he used to be greeted with mock -Indian war -whoops by the fans, the Chief was a college-educated man and a good conversationalist. After rain had washed out a ball - game one day, somebody asked Bender how he had spent the afternoon. He replied that he had been at an Art Gallery admiring, once again, his favorite painting. When asked what the picture was he replied "Custer's Last Stand." * * 5 (You have probably seen that Pretty Parader—Organizers of the Inaugural Parade scheduled beautiful baton -whirling Hilda - Gay Mayberry, 17 -year-old girl -leader of a Bluegrass State band, to give zest to the pro- cession. famous picture, or one of the millions of reproductions of same, showing a scant handful of beleagured white men sur- rounded by huge mobs of fierce, bloodthirsty Redskins). a A n "Just why do you like that picture so well, .Chief," a by- stander inquired of Bender. "Well," Bender replied, "it's the only time I saw the Indians get- ting anything like an even break." o Which is more, in our humble opinion, than Chief Bender ever got from the Hall of Fame jury. Still, we cannot find it in our heart to squawk about the Hall's portals swinging open to admit Dizzy Dean, for Dizzy — before his arm went wrong — would bear comparison with any pitch- er that ever toed the mound from Old Hoss Radbourne on down. More than that, the Dizzy one had an abundance of the quality so sadly lacking in present-day baseball—to say nothing of mod- ern-day hockey, football and a few other pastimes. That quality is color. He flamed with color— and was a flaming competitor, too, who pitched his darudest in the toughest going, and who didn't scare worth a cent, no matter how awesome the opposi- tion, 5 '5 a But, somehow or other, we have a feeling that Dizzy is get- ting a bit tame and civilized— probably association for so many years with radio and television people, who wear shoes all the time, has cramped his style. When he was apprised of his election to the Hall of Fame Mr. Dean said—or so it is reported— "It's doggone nice for an old cot- ton -picker from Arkansas to be up there with them fellers." 5 a * Which is a nice gentlemanly, modest speech of acceptance. Much too modest to ring true. As Arthur Daley of The New York Times points out it would have sounded much more authentic if Dizzy had said: "Well, it took C Getting there is half the Fun!

They shoulda knew from the start that 01' Diz was the greatest pitcher who ever lived!" . Nor does Mr, Daley exaggerate too much when he ascribes such a speech to the Dean that once was. Some years ago Dizzy wrote a sort of autobiography which included the following state- ment: Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seein' me play ball knows that I'm the greatest rec- ords pitcher in the world. And them that ain't been fortunate enough to have a gander at 01' Diz in action can take a look at the records. And, if you never saw him in action, just look at the records. You won't find a grain of Mod - sty among them, but there's enough other stuff to prove that his recent honor was no mistake • —even if it wouldn't have done any harm to keep him waiting another year or s0- in order to in- elude the likes of Chief Bendel'.
