tilt Painting, music and theatrical art, par-
ticu'arly the first two, would seem to be a
far cry from the rough-and-tumble burly -
burly of hockey. And in a sense. the gulf
between them is as wide as the Grand
Canyon, Yet, all four are,' in a sense, tied
up in a package.
Mostly, when spurts 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, beyond 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 year, one
of the winners was an athlete of note, who mixes 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
halliard School of Music, New York and Yale University. He
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 Gaines 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 appy to Collins,
ratecl 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.H.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 from coast to coast,
come the funds to aid annually, four young Canadians whose am-
Sitions are far removed from sport in any of its varied forms.

the $64 question now is why have
sot many been included on the
Boater at the expense of others
far more deserving,

In the list of those excluded

Joe DiMaggio, who had str•nrr;

In running out on fellows like
kLabbit Maranville, Dazzy Vance
and Chief Bender; in fact the
latter is no longer eligible since
11R is more than a quarter-century
cine his active playing days
ended.
Which seems to be rather
serewey, at that, seeing that so
good an authority as Connie Mack
essays 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.

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."

bloodthirsty Redskins).

"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 0 r0
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 darndest in
the toughest going, and who
didn't scare worth a cent, no
matter how awesome the opposi-
tion.
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."
O 0 e
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

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 iri the world. And
thein 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 thele, 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 so in order to in-
elude the likes of Chief Bender.
