In fact we would sooner 'watch a bunch of juveniles bang - ling each other around on the vil- lage dam or playing corner lot :football than listen to a Stanley Cup final or watch—over TV—any "Bowl" game that ever was con- tested. * * Still, that is just a matter of taste, and we knnow that there are untold thousands who prefer their sport with a dash of ether added. If you happen to be one of these you may be interested in some re - .:marks by the noted baseball writer Dan Daniel, as published in the Baseball -magi's Bible, otherwise known as The Sporting News. Mr. Daniel is writing about a certain type of sports broadcaster—the type that tries not only to keep up with the play but a yard or so ahead of it, and who is prone to tell his listeners that. a certain play is a hit—or an error—without wait- ing for word from the official scorer. He also has a word or two to say about the sort of player who tries to make the official scorer look bad. * * What with one thing or another -Mr, Daniel says—the official scorers of the major leagues have stuck their noggins out of the press boxes into some small prominence of late. A certain club has sent a directve to its radio and television staff not to second-guess the scor- er. The practice of second guessing the guy who calls the hits and er- rors has gained considerable vogue in the big time and the writers, :from whose ranks the scorers are recruited, resent this tendency very strongly, The scorers are under some pres- s't re from the players, too. Only the other day Jim McCulley of the New York Daily News, scoring in Brooklyn, gave an infielder an er- ror on a ball hit by Pee Wee Reese of the Dodgers. This ended a Reese batting streak at 22 games. Pee Wee had been shooting for the Brooklyn record of 29 consecutive games, set by Zach Wheat in 1916. When the error sign went up on the scoreboard, Brooklyn players dashed out of their dugout and :notified McCulley of their displeas- ure. The scorer had adequate sup- port for his decision in the press box. * * Some few players are rather dif- ficult in the matter of reaction to the scoring. A few will make ve- hement protest. Others will just glare at the scorer when he conies into the clubhouse or dugout. In pleasant contrast with the squawk and glower boys was Paul Waner, who wanted every hit he made, and nothing more, When Paul, who got 3,152 hits in his major career, poked No. 3,000 at Forbes Field, he sent word to the scorer that he did not agree with his decision. Paul insisted that the play should have been scored as an error. "I want you to take that hit away because I in- tend No. 3,000 to be the real thing," he insisted. The next time Big Poison came up, he whacked the stuffing out of a ball and announced, "This is No. 3,000." However, actually it was 3,001, because the scorer had stood by his original 3,000 decision, ,r * * Doubtless the most unpleasant experience of a New York scorer, or perhaps any other scorer, was • suffered by John Kieran, back in the days when he was writing base- ball for the American. In 1922, George Sisler won the American League batting champion- ship with .402. Second place went to Ty Cobb with .401, his third .400 average, as he had batted .420 in Sc-ram—Caution seems to be the Introductory keynote as three- year-old Necia Prather and this Australian Merino ram each look as if the other's company was—to put -it bluntly—unwelcome. The ram is part of a recent shipment to -the-University of Califor- nia's College of Agriculture after an embargo against the export of the breed from Australia had been lifted, 1911 and .410 the following season. One day at the Polo Grounds, where the Yankees still were play- ing, Cobb rapped a sharp grounder to Deacon Scott, the home short- stop. Fred Lieb, the AP man, call - it a hit. It was raining, and Kieran had gone into the stands to get out' o the wet. John scored it as an error. When the unofficial averages came out at the end of the season, Cobb was . hitting .401. On the basis of the official scoring it was .399. Ben Johnson, president of the American League, decided to ac- cept the Lieb version as against the Kieran scoring. So you see the official scorer had his troubles as far back as 1922. * * Dan Daniel goes on to tell of an experience of his own during a great hitting streak by one of base- ball's greatest idols. * * * Scoring during Joe DiMaggio's record 56 -game batting streak in 1941, was one of the most nerve- racking chores in the history of big league scoring, and certainly the most rugged job along those lines done by the writer. I was the scorer in Yankee Sta- dium during most of the streak, and the tensions were terrific. DiMaggio went along to the 24 - game mark without exciting too much attention. Then it struck the press box that Joe was nearing the 30 -game stage, and that his streak had become news. On June 8, he got two hits, off George Cas- ter and jack Kramer of the Browns, to make it 24 consecutive games, * * * Things got torrid on July 1. He went into a double-header with the Red Sox with 42 games. From then on it was more than exciting. In the Stadium, a bunch of Di - Maggio super -rooters was stationed day after day. Every time Joe hit the ball, these holler -guys would ,jump to their feet and shout, "What is it? What is it?" If the scorer hung up the "E," no matter how palpable the misplay, the reaction was terrific. The scorer definitely was a burglar. Your correspondent kept losing weight, and growing more and more irritable, as the strains of the streak bore down on him, appar- ently more violently than on Di - Maggio hiinseif. I never have drawn a complaint on scoring rom a really great hit- ter, I did draw a glower from Tony Lazzeri, and he was ,,,right.

Speed, The Killen Speed on the highway as Ate prime slayer is impressively ea - reigned by the Bureau of Highway Safety, State of Pennsylvania, in sl booklet, "Speed) Still Pubiie Enemy No. 1," which has just been issued by T. E. Transeau, director of that bureau. After citing many studies by authoritative sources on the role that excessive speed has played in the mounting toll of high- way accidents, Mr. Transeau breaks down the death rates in the various states with relation to the fixed maximum rate of speed In those states, This breakdown certainly bears very convincing evidence that fixed maximum speeds have a de- finite relationship to fatalities on the highway. It shows that the na- tional average death rate per 100,- 000,000 miles of travel in 1950 was 7.5. In the eleven states which de- fine maximum speed on the road as "careful and prudent," or "reas- onable and proper," the rate ex- ceeded the national average by from 5.1 to 11.5 per cent. Where absolute maximum speeds were fixed the results show an in- teresting curve• The fourteen states fixing top speed at 60 miles an hour had an average death rate of 2.7 per cent above the national figure. a Oddly enough, the six states in which 55 miles an hour is maximum show an average of 8. per cent ex- cess above the fatality rate for the nation. However, twelve states iri which 50 miles an hour is the fixed maximum show an average death rate 20 per cent below that of the nation; the three states in which 45 miles is the fixed maximum aver- age, 41.3 per cent below; and the lone state, 14fassachuetts, with a fix- ed top speed of 40 miles an hour, 49.3 per cent below the death rate" of the nation. Obviously there are factors of • high importance other than maxi- mum speeds which enter into the fatality picture. These include speed too fast for conditions, irrespective of any maximums. One can drive too fast at 15 miles an hour if conditions of surface and traffic make this rate dangerous. How- ever, Director Transeau's figures indicate a fact which is obvious but too often forgotten — namely, that high speeds on the road in- evitably add to the severity of acci- dents when they do occur and to high fatality rates. Let us -all re- solve to watch that speedometer, drive with a light rather than a heavy foot, and do our individual part to keep the highway death toll down. —From The New York Times. The proud father of triplets called up the local weekly to report the event. The man at the other end, not quite hearing what he said, asked, "Will you repeat that?" Snapped back the proud father, "Not if I can help it." To say that the Swiss are famous for their cheese is about on a par with saying that they grow peaches around Niagara. And although cheese actually imported f r o m Switzerland is beyond the budget of most of us, we have plenty of the "Swiss -type" kind available. So these recipes, some of which have been handed down from Swiss mother to Swiss daughter for many generations, will be just as temp- ting and satisfactory if made right here in a Canadian kitchen. * CHEESE CROQUETTES 2 oz.

Dangerous Weed American ranchers are worried about a poisonous weed which has mysteriously invaded the United States from Southern Russia and has been killing thousands of sheep and cattle. The weed -a purple -flowered plant known as halogeton—has taken such toll that it has warned Government scientists of the po- tential dangers of imported plant and animal plagues. How it spanned the ocean from Russia to gain a foothold on more than half a million acres in the heart of the United States is a mystery. It was first found in Ne- vada fifteen years ago and has now spread to Idaho, Wyoming, Mon- tana, Utah and California. It is still spreading, and rivals foot-and- mouth disease as a threat to the livestock industry and to our meat supplies. The haiogeton plant cotrtains oxa- lic acid which, when combined with calcium in the bloodstream, pro- duces a poison which spells death to sheep and cattle. Only a dozen ounces will kill a sheep. Sinallel amounts cause loss of weight. Research scientists confess that their fifteen years of effort to halt the spread of the weed have proved futile, Chemical sprays have been found which kill the weed—hut they prove too costly to use on a large scale.
