Sports — And One Thing or Another
One of our feminine readers --we
might say that the lady is a violent
supporter of the Montreal Canadiene
and not feeling any too good about
the state of the world at present —
writes regarding, a certain well-
known member of the Toronto Maple
Leafs. "I understand that many
years ago there used to be a song
entitled AND BIG BAD BILL IS

over hi Montreal 'Big Bad Bill' seems
to have lost a lot of that much adver-
tised fight of his—just another of the
kind that loves to dish it out, but
ca .'t take it!"
* *
Personally, we have no particular
feeling either way regarding Mr.
Ezinicki — or any other professional
athlete, for that matter. There was
a day vet= we could follow, with
intense and even passionate interest,
the progress --or lack of it --of some
No. team. But that day is in the
dim and distant past. It goes back
to the time when a great Canadian
Sports Editor—Francis Nelson, by
name—gave us a little advice which
really opened our eyes.
We had been bewailing to Mr,
Nelson the fact that "Our" team—
df memory serves aright it•was the
old Tecumseh's Lacrosse Team—was
getting the worst of it from some
hated rival, and appeared to be in
great danger of losing its last
chance for the Championship.

''Don't worry about it too mucid'
advised Mr. Nelson. "Just remem-

the magazine that sells for a dollar

The :article, among other things,
said that "in an even race Kansas

growers out of business" - the
reason being that our farm research
was so greatly behind that in
"God's r anti'''".
Canadians who pay any attention
to this kind of thing are having a
quiet smile tr themselves over such
nonsense. According to the
"Agricultural and Industrial Pro-
gress in Canada" the world's wheat
championship — decided annually
' at the Chicagn International Grain

diens just 29 time out 'of 33 shows
held since 1911. More. than that, all

("A Sixbit Critic")
those two teams, they'd probably be
battling one another just as hard
when they came on the field again."
* * *
Their he added something we have
always remembered, and frequently
quoted. "When you look at any pro-
fessional sport, if you see a good
game you've had your money's worth.
If it's a poor game, even the fact
that it might be for the champion-
ship of the world doesn't make it
any different. A m a t e u r athletes,
playing strictly for the flat of it,
have no obligation to think too much
about the spectators but it's differ-
ent with professionals, who if they
put on a tame exhibition are cheat-
ing those who make their living
possible."
* * *
Here, we seem to have got slightly
off the trail of Bill Efinlcki — and
whether or not he's lost some of the
battling spirit that,has characterized
him for the past couple of seasons.
Our personal feeling is just the same
as it has always been—that Ezinicki
is a colorful and potentially -great
hockey player who was being exploit-
ed, mostly by irresponsible sports
writers, to his own great disadvan-
tage.
* * fe
Billing Ezinicki as a "killer" and
all that sort of tripe might help swell
the box-office tally, and draw extra
customers who came only io holler
"Get Ezinicki" every time he stepped
on the ice. That's very fine, /especial-
ly for the type of "sports" promoter
whose idea of the greatest game of
the season is the one which broke
the last attendance record.
* * *
But just suppose that Ezinicki—
spurred to more intensive efforts by
those hostile shouts, he being that
type of athlete—should by some mis-
chance injure an opponent really
seriously, perhaps even fatally. In
less time than it takes for you to
read this, he finds himself suspend-
ed, maybe banished for life.
Inside a month all toe 'writers who
hammered out so meaty greatly.

to say nothing of the promoters who

would have practically forgotten hint
completely, or alnrtost so. If .Mr:
Ezinicki has pulled, in his horns a
trifle—is no longer letting himself
be made the sacrificial goat for an
entire club, wc think he has been very
,well advised. Coaches and Managers
u'ho stress the "fighting qualities" of
their teams have a lot to answer for.

Association for its action in curbing
the broadcasting and televising of
fights in future. John Lardner— son
of the great and only Ring W. and
himself a smart and thoughtful
sports observer — a couple of days
later wrote along the same line, and
speaks about how the increasing
popularity of television threatens the
very life of sport, not only in Britain,
but on this Continent as well.
* * *
"It appears," he says, "that the
,British fight fan is getting his enter-
tainment practically everywhere but
at the place where fighters are fight-
ing and ticket sellers selling tickets.
The boys (night be fighting at the
bottom of the Suez Canal for all, they

Well, we can picture it as a very
sweet thing indeed—to sit by your
home television screen and, in a single
Saturday afternoon, tune in and see
a few innings of World Series Base-
ball, some scraps of American and
Canadian football, the finish of some
of the most important horse races of
the day, and various other items of
the sort—all without the slightest
exertion. If, you have the only tele-
vision set in your vicinity and can
charge the neighbors a small ad-,
mission fee, it will be, even sweeter.
But after a few years of it — just
where the athletes are coming from,
to 'keep things going, ie something
we haven't yet been able to figure
out.
Hard Necessity
The wearing of the kilt is be-
coming more common in Scotland,
not because of a revival of nation-
alism, but because of a shortage of
trousers.
Streamlined Ski'
Lighter and Faster
Britain has produced a new,
streamlined ski, said to be lighter
and 10 per cent faster than any
other.
The new ski, likely to prove the
surprise of the 194s Olympic win-
ter games, is made of steel, plastic
and wood, ,and may later be made
unbreakable.
It was tried out secretly on the
Jungfrau glacier during the sunt -
mer by James Palmer Thompkin-
son, captain of the British old
teals for the 'Olympic games.
News of the invention is begin-
ning to leak out among the other
teams in Switzerland—and one of
the new skis has disappeared
mysteriously in the night.
