The Seaforth News, 1948-02-19, Page 7Sports. And One Thing of Another By PRANK MANN HARRIS So far as we can recall, few hock - es, deals ever created such a stir, or were the cause of such great dif- ferences of opinion, as the big trade between the Toronto Maple Leafs . and the Chicago Black Hawks a few weeks ago, And when the ex-To- rontonians immediately started Per- forming smartly in their new Chic- ago uniforms, while Max Bentley couldn't even seem to untrack him- self as a member of the Leafs, there was ,considerableloose talk to the effect that the Toronto brass, for once, had outsmarted itself. At the time of the deal we com- mented that, while Chicago •would probably be strengthened by the trade—(when , You start out flat broke the worst you can get is an even break)—we just couldn't seem to see Conn Smythe taking any the worst of it in a swap. The little fellow who created Maple Leaf Gardens, and who did more to turn hockey into a big-time business than any. other individual, has made plenty of enemies. Some of his ac- tions ' and methods—before the pas- sing of time cooled him out a trifle— were wide open to criticism; and we, personalty, have never been a member of the "Hallelujah" chorus which. surrounded him. 13ut we have never made any sec- ret of our opinion that, as a judge of hockey timber—and also in will- ingness to take a chance when neces- sary—he is pretty much in a class by himself. Now that the sinoke has had time to clear away, we can size up just what sort of a trade he made with, Chicago better than when the fire was hot. And we would say that —on the form he has been showing recently—Max Bentley was worth everything given for him, and a whole lot more. Always a star, even when largely surrounded by teammates who were playing by ear and weren't very musi- cal at that, Bentley sight now is really something to watch. Barring injuries, he is liable to put several of the old records into the discard. Like most old-titners it is our cus- tom to bewail the scarcity of hockey players who know anything to do with a puck except get rid of it as spedily as possible. We make a de- cided exception in the case of Mr. Bentley and would say that he would have been a real standout in. any hockey era. (Now, just watch him go into a slump, just for spite I") That old lady came to mind the other day when, itt a mood of con- templation or some such, we were considerisg the state of the world. Prom every quarter of the globe the news was bad. Press and radio were chockftd of tidings of gloom, The 11111L driveway was full of snow, and get- ting fuller by the minute. Thett, like a ray of sunshine, came a happy thought. Supposing --instead of aft- \ solutely refusing to enter the coming Olympics—the Russians had decided to send a tram. Imagine a close fin- ish in the 100 -metre dash, for in, stance, with an American and one of The Stalin's boys hitting the tape as a team—and 'officials from three or four other nations expected to make ate decision. Oh, brother, what a picture to envision! The old lady was dead right. Things are never that bad that they couldn't be worse. Getting back to hockey, we would say that the next move due in that great pastime—(long overdue, in the opinion of tnany)—is one aitned at giving the referees far greater pow- er than they now seem to possess. One of the greatest things that ever happened to baseball was when the magnates assured the umpires that they were to be in sole charge, once a game started, and—what is even more itnportant—that their decisions would be solidly backed up by the •higher powers. The spectale of players arguing with, threatening and even attacking officials; of coaches and manager halting a game while they tell a ref. eree what they think of him; and of • protests being made on questions of fact;—all these are far too common for a sport that has grown to such dimensions, and are strictly bush league stuff. The squawks over the robust plaY of 13111 Ezinicki--and over the al- leged custom of Maple Leaf players' using wrestling tactics on defense— are an example of what 1 mean. Either Mr. Ezinicki uses foul tact- ics—or he doesn't. The Toronto boys use the clutch -and -grab system un duly—or they don't. But ones to de- cide on such matters are the officials • put in charge of the games, and no- body else. If they're not capable—get some new officials, If they are cap- able—put some stiffening in their‘ backbones. Or else in the spine of the League President—who should be in a position where he could tell venous managers and coaches to be have Menisci% es—or elsel In the ancient Roman theatre, actors wore symbolic colors: old men, white; young men, purple; parasites, ; courtesans, yellow, eripiWee., . _ .

Sea -Faring Folks Are Devout Breed Captain Angus Walters, famed master of the racing schooner Bluenose, hat been awarded $3,500 damages in a libel action against Hearst Magazines, Inc. An article in a Hearst publication said the skipper had "cursed the Lord." It's hard to imagine Captain Wal- ters or any of his fellow towns- men in the historic old Nova Sco- tia cod port of Lunenburg curs- ing the Lord, comments the Saint John Telegraph -Journal, People who battle the elements for a living, and who know, when- ever they sell, that death may be waiting for them, laro a devout 'breed. The crews of Lunenburg's schooners and trawlers and drag- gers are tough, rugged men, be- cause deep-sea fishing is a tough, rugged occupation: • But, at the same time, most of them are deep- ly religious. * * * For the population of Lunen - burg (around 8,000) the churches are large and numerous. Sunday finds them well-filled, even' though it's the only day of the week most fishmen have at home. The hymns which are sung reflect the calling and character of members of the congregation. The favorite one goes: "0 hear us when we cry to Thee Por those in peril on the sea , .." Without in any way dramatizing the role of the fisherman or the dangers he faces in his daily work, it may be said that there is hardly a family in Lunenburg which has not paid a toll of life to the storm - tossed Atlantic. * * * nce a year everybody in Lun- enburg assembles in Jubilee Square, on a hillside overlooking the town, for the seamen's memor- ial service, There a clergymen reads a list of those who have lost • their lives at sea in the last twelve months. Sometimes there have been as many as 50 names. After •they have heard the list the peo- ple parade down to the waterfront and pile flowers from their own gardens on the deck of a schooner which vatters the blossoms over the fishing grounds. As the ves- sel puts out of port the voices of the 1,unenbis , follow it, raised in the simple hymns of deep, strong faith. * * :1n this community, Captain Web tem has for years been the best- known and perhaps the most popu- lar citizen. His 13luenose, wide: feated champion of the North At- lantic Fishermen's Races, brought Lunenburg world renown. The captain, certainly, is no sissy—but he just isn't the type to curse the Lord and he naturally objected to being accused of it. PILES eMe"hear overcome merit. formerly thought, Impossible.

Whatever you may think, there is one butcher in Canada who thinks that the old saying ls bunle—at least when it comes to buying meat. This butcher—who shall be natne- less—appears in the opening scene of -"Quality Beef", a new colour film produced in 1947 by the National Film Board for the federal Depart- ment of Agriculture. The butcher deplores the fact that nowadays very few people seem to be able to tell a good cut of beef when they see • Butcher Explains But our butcher, being the, con- structive type, doesn't stop here. He makes use of the film to illustrate the points you should watch for to ensure that your cut of beef is a good one. Red and porous bone and pear- ly coloured cartilage indicate that the animal was young and tender; thickly fleshed bones indicate good breeding; and adequate—but not too much—fat covering the outside of the cut show that the animal had been well-fed. Here the film talces leave of the knowing butcher and surveys the Canadian cattle and meat packing in - 65th Season Ahead—Venerable Connie Mack, just turned 85, is looking forward to his 65th year in baseball. The ancient and active chief of the Phila- delphia Athletics is shown holding a "white elephant". which became the Athletics' symbol as a result of a remark by John McGraw, who said in 1901 when the American Lea- gue was about to begin its first season: "And in Philadelphia, Connie Mack has a white ele- phant •on 'his hands", The A's won nine pennants and five world series. dustries, showing how Canada has developed and maintained a standard of quality known throughout the world. Starting with the cattle themselves, there are scenes of the heeds most commonly seen in this country: the white-faced and very hardy. Here- fords; the red, white and roan Short- horns' and the black and hornless Aberdeen Angus. The camera then moves on to the Calgary Bull Sale, where western Canadian cattlemen hid for the highest prized sires to maintain and improve the quality of their herds. Breed and Peed But breeding nest be followed through by good feeding, "Quality Beef" then portrays the round up. where the cattle, are inspected and divided bite two classes: those well- fed, enough for the market, and those requiring a few extra weeks in the feed lots to bring their weights up to market standards.. It is interesting here to see the acti- vities of the Junior Farm Clubs, the Junior Beef Clubs and the Junior Calf Clubs. It is important that our young farmers carry on the traditions of quality beef -raising, and these clubs are doing a fine job in passing on the principles of cattle breeding and feeding. In the butcher shops to -day, more and more meat comes stamped with red and blue marks. This is a sign that the meat has passed through a number of rigid inspections by gov- ernment food inspectors, both before and after slaughter, in the meat peek- ing plants. A health stamp is placed on every carcass free from disease, and a second; or 'quality" shunt), is put on soon after—red for choice quality, and blue for good quality. The stamp block is a rolling one, and . it marks the meat at intervqls -111 along its length so that when the meat is cut up into wholesale and re- tail cuts, the buyer can see the qual- ity stamp on every piece. "Quality Beef", then, shows you that marking and stamping will help you determine the quality, of the meat you see in your local butcher store. But, just to refresh your memory, the film ends witli the friendly but- cher, who once more gives his criteria for selecting a gond cut or I eel. for your Stinclav Coughs aro dangerous It neglected ...
