The Seaforth News, 1953-02-19, Page 7{ f tlf aLvert SPORTS COLUMN ev Eloper eT9Cedag ty: s This is the first of two articles con- cerning the life and hockey works of one of hockey's greatest figures, the fc4mous veteran Captam James T. Sutherland, founder of the hockey Bail of Fame at Kingston, hockey's Grand Old Man. Great oaks, says an old adage, from little acorns grow, and this might aptly be applied to the develop- ment of hockey from the embryo stage to its present position among the most attractive Sports ,in the world. The tiny seed was planted In Kingston a long time ago and just as the tree that grew was hearing its first fruit, a stalwart Kingston athlete and sportsman, James T. Sutherland, became its first ambassador of goodwill, and, being a natural salesman he spread its gospel far and wide. If hockey's Grand Old Man didn't plant the original seed, he certainly aided in the growth to mighty proportions. Away back in 1888 Captain Jim was one of the shining stars in behalf of the Athletics, who operated in the Kingston League on an out -door rink a stone's throw from the house in which Mr, Sutherland has resided these many years. It has been claimed that the 'Kingston League of 64 years ago was the first in history, but, be that as it may, it is factual. that there was such a League, and that it was composed of Queen's University, the Athletics, Royal Military College and the Kingstons. Queen's won the championship when in the final game they defeated Athletics by 3 to 0. And clefeneeman Jim Sutherland did a bit of robust checking in a lost cause. Mr. Sutherland, founder of the International Hockey Hall of Fame, past president of the Canadian and Ontario Hockey Associations and Lffe 1Vfember of both organizations, is now in his 83rd year, but still as devoted to the hockey cause as when he skated with the stars in 1888. He has lived to see that seed grow into the "Spreading Hockey Tree" that is now green in most countries of the world. Mr. Sutherland recently told this column: • "In what was the first organized league of which we have any authentic record, we played on an open rink with side -boards rising not more than 30 inches above the ice surface. That old Dix Rink presented many hazards both to the players and spectators. "Only after the storms came and the snow was piled high around the low fences, were the spectators able to view pro- ceedings from lofty heights and without being endangered. Among the notables who saw us in spirited competition were Principal Grant of Queen's University; Rev. Mr. Carson and many of Kingston's most prominent residents. "Following that outdoor venture Queen's University erect- ed an adequate indoor arena which was made to order for skating and hockey and met with popular approval. Carnivals and other attractions were staged at regular intervals, and drew large and enthusiastic crowds. This was one of Canada's first indoor rinks." The second of this series on the founder of the Hockey Hall of Fame appears next week. Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calrert House, 431 Yonge St., Toronto. CaLvtt DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHER5ThURG, ONTARIO About the only outstanding Mature of the hockey season, so -mar, seems to be the way that not (only the fans, but the sports writers as well, are frying the moguls over too much hooking, tripping and totally unnecessary roughness. A certain proportion of the customers -the ones who know something about the .game -have long been vocal in this re- gard; but it is something new for the sports scribes and sports- casters, who generally treated the game, especially in its upper reaches, with as great reverence as Hindus observe toward a Holy Cow. 'Just why they have re- cently summoned the nerve to actually criticize the sacred sport we cannot say, although we have Cur suspicions. * * , As to the cure for this hook- ing, tripping, etc., in our opinion It is a very simple matter. So simple, some think, as to be al- most idiotic. What we would do Is pass a rule cutting from nine inches to a foot from the length allowable in a hockey stick. Do that, and you would see some real stick -handling, clever pass- ing plays and - to sum it up briefly, REAL HOCKEY. a a a With that off our reputed mind, let's turn to a real Champion of Champions -one who doesn't get too much publicity on this side of the water but, nevertheless, a man who, in his own line, de- serves to be rated along with Willie Hoppe in billiards, Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth in baseball, and any other of the sporting greats you care to mention. We refer to Mr. Joe Davis, master of all he surveys in therealln of snook- er pool. Leaning crutch -like on an article by Sydney Skilton, English correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor, we'll give you a till -in on the doughty Joseph. * • * * This maestro of the cue from Chesterfield reigned as world champion from 1927 to 1946 dur- Ing which time he was never beaten. Then he resigned the title to give younger players a chance. Today he is performing with greater skill than at any time he was official world champion. And almost any day now up on the scoreboard is likely to go his 500th three -figure break. Olympic Preview -Getting a glimpse of Melbourne's Stadium- ito-be for the 1956 Olympic Games which will be held in Australia, are, at left, Arthur W. Coles, chairman of the Games Control Committee, and W. S. Kent Hughes, Australian Federal Minister for the Interior. Designed by Frank Heath and a small group if associates, the stadium will seat 125,000 spectators. Two years will be needed to complete it. Pile 0' People - Nine skilled acrobats climb up to form a human pyramid supported by One man at the Bertram Mills Circus in London. Known as the Wazzan Rif-Kabylen group, they performed for hundreds of London kids. The magnitude of that accom- plishment will be appreciated all the more when it is explained that no other exponent of this extremely popular game that has ousted billiards from the tables has anywhere near approached that total. Nor is there anybody on the horizon that looks like doing so. The closest tally in any part of the world to Joe's 498 are the 144 by his younger brother Fred who succeeded to the world title and the 143 by Londoner Sidney Smith. Joe, who has been a profes- sional cueist for more than 30 years, has the advantage of more than a decade over his younger and closest rivals. But if they are to get on terms with the grand old master they will have to treble their rate of century scor- ing. And even so Old Joe, 52 years of age on April 15, is likely to make their target a much snore inaccessible proposition before he finally packs away the favorite cue he purchased more than a quarter of a century- ago for a mere seven shillings and sixpence. 4 e o That purchase was made at a second-hand store on the advice of his father who althot,gh no billiards player himself could see that young Joe was really set on the game. Joe was a member of the local church, institute which boasted a billiards table. Every spare minute he had was devoted to the study on it of mathema- tical exactitude in the applica- tion of dynamics. He was never satisfied with less than six hours practice a day and his first suc- cessful venture into the profes- sional game was to win the na- tional junior championship. * o * At the age of 20 years he went to London for the senior title. He came up against the reiging champion, Tom Newman, and went home after a very severe chastening. After four more years Of practice, practice and more practice, Joe was back again in the final of the senior champion- ship. Again he received a lesson from Newman. But it was a les- son well learned because in 1927 the deficit against the big -chinned Londoner was reduced to only 1,200 points. The following year Davis had his just reward and became champion. He retained the title until defeated by the Austra- lian, Walter Lindrunn., in 1933. * * Meantime snooker, or Snooker's pool to give it its full and proper name, was gaining rapidly in fa- vor. It was said originally to have been invented by British Army officers stationed in India. A Devonshire Regiment, sta ' tioned in Juppuipore is given the credit for it. In 1.13375 members of the mess tried the addition of extra colored balls on the table as a variation from the normal three -ball billiards game that helped pass the rainy season. Young cadets from Woolwich Academy at that thne were call- ed alled "Snookers" and as one of the subalterns missed aro easy pot somebody called out "You're a regular snooker." Thus was born Snooker's pool" 0 * 4 It failed to gain any sort of interest in Victorian and Edward- ian England but following the end of World War I and the re- moval of the cathedral -like at- mosphere from the billiards halls snooker was tried as a filler -iii to CLASSIFIED , TI IN tsfeNTle 8 V" 1't 1) ..._„,.,..,.....•^.. _FOIL ... _.,..»....,. •.............-,,...-,„,.

And billiards proceeded to go out. 0.1C, SO FAR Dr. Pullman, the socialite den- tist, was happily yanking teeth in his office on the seventeenth floor of a Madison Avenue sky- scraper with his comely nurse, Ruth Gordon, in attendance, when a sharp cry gave them a start. Rushing to the window, they saw a good friend who had an office some floors above them go hurtling past, A couple of moments later, an- other friend burst into the office. "Did you hear about Johnny Jones?" he gasped. "He jumped or fell thirty floors. He's lying down there on Madison Avenue, and he looks terrible." "I can't understand that," said Miss Gor- don. "When we saw him go by just a minute ago, he looked wonderful." ROMANCE! A sentimental woman was married to an unromantic man. One evening she said to him with a sigh: "Would you mourn for me if I were to die?" "Oh, yes," he mumbled, "of course I would." "And would you visit the ceme- tery often?" "Certainly," he said, with a little more animation. "1 pass it on the way to the tavern, any- how." ,hJUi ea , 1 Was ew Nearly Crazy Very first use of aonthil g, cooling 1id,id U. D. D.
