S f orfs — And One Thing
We never expected to live to
see the dayl A new manager was
recently hired by The Toronto
Maple Leafs baseball team—and
on his first meeting with the as-
sembled respresentatives of the
Press almost ' knocked them off
their seats by coming out with the
breath -taking statement, "I'm not
promising anything for next sea-
son." This, coming from any sports
manager, would be s u r p rising
enough. But from a Toronto base-
ball leader, it is equivalent to eith-
er Vishinsky or Gromyko saying
"Yes" three times in a row.
* * *
For years past Toronto baseball
fans have been living on promises.
Real gluttons for punishment, they
have supported—not lavishly, but
a lot better than they deserved—
teams that were seldom anything
except painful to watch. Then the
usual routine was something like
this—First, fire the old manager;
—Second, hire a new one; and
Third,—have the latter make the
breath - taking announcement that
we were going to have a scrappy,
fighting team to root for—next
year.
* *
Then, next year—the same old
thing. Big crowds to greet the new
outfit—loud ballyhoo — and then,
after a couple of weeks or months,
the realization that while the faces
might be new, the quality, or lack
of it, was about the same as ever.
Now arrives a new manager, Ed
Sawyer, who comes out flatfooted
and says "I'm not promising any-
thing." Even if it gets him black-
balled by the Managers' guild, his
words deserve to be put in Neons
over the entrance to the Ball Park.
Even if he doesn't happen to get
anywhere with the team—which is
a pretty hard thing to do with
the peculiar Toronto setup—he's
going on the sound horse -racing
precept that, if you go to the races
flat broke, the worst you can get
is an even break,
* * *
One of the profoundest sayings
regarding present-day life was made
by a man not ordinarily looked
upon as a deep -thinker or philoso-
pher. It was Jimmy Durante's
"Everybody wants to get into the
act"—and it pretty well sums up a
publicity -conscious generation that
regards "getting your picture in the
paper" as the height of felicity. Ex-
amples' of this widespread love for
"mugging" in front of a camera are
so numerous that we will mention
only one. It was a picture taken at the
scene of a particularly brutal recent
murder—and of eight fairly promin-
ent people facing the camera, only
two, or at the outside three, had
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
or Another
any reason for being there outside
of morbid curiosity or a desire to
"get into the act."
* * *
When one team clearly out-
classes another, should it go "all-
out" and run up as big a score as
possible, or should it take things
fairly easy, and keep the scoring
down to reasonable proportions?
That is a question which faces ma-
nagers and coaches occasionally,
and there doesn't seem to be any
really satisfactory answer—outside
of "It all depends."
* *,
Football is perhaps the worst of
all sports in this regard; for
while a 40 too beating in football
is actually not much more one-
sided than 7-0 baseball or hockey,
it looks that way. And we thought
that the University of Toronto
Blues were to be criticized when,
during a pre - season trip to the
west, they ran tip terrific scores
on teams that were helpless against
their greater power and experience.
* * *
But when we said something of
the sort, at the time, it was a
U, of T. undergraduate who gave
us a clue to the reason. "Those
guys know that when the real
shooting starts, 'Western Univer-
sity Mustangs will wipe the earth
with them—so they're getting re-
venge for those coming shellack-
Ings by taking it out on those
poor teams out in Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
* * *
Maybe he was right, at that; for
it is a long time since we have
seen any outfit dominate the op-,
position as those Mustangs seemed
to do the past couple of seasons
or so—and still longer since we
have known teams to go on the
field apparently satisfied that they
were beaten before the opening
whistle as the young gentlemen
representing Varsity, Queens and
old McGill. The "old College
spirit"—like a lot of other spirits
—seems to be suffering.from a bit
too much dilution.
* * *
Talk to school teachers anywhere,
and they'll tell you that their task
has become harder of recent years
because of the lessened control they,
have over their pupils. They always
put the blame for it, too, on the
parents— the trustees — on anybody,
and everybody but themselves. And
who are we to argue with a school
teacher!'
* * *
Then, just when we had about
come to the conclusion that a
school teacher's lot is not a happy,
one, the lady school teachers of a
certain city elect a "Glamor Queen"
from among their midst and, not to
be outdone, the male educationists
Jasper Beaver to Britain—En route to England as part of Can-
ada's donation toward the replenishment of Britain's zoos,
these beaver took along their own supply of hardtack. Natives
of Jasper National Park, they will feed on tasty, vitamin pack-
ed Poplar poles cut for them by the Park's warden. George
Fowlie, who is shown serving them their last meal before
the journey 'eastward. With three bears for travel mates, the
beaver left ja9.per in a Canadian National Railways express car
.11(i were transferred to an ocean liner on arrival at Montreal,
of the same place promptly choose
a masculine counterpart. And instead
of being properly a,'ltamed the new
"Glamor Boy" defended the whole
silly business, saying that it might
bring before the public the fact that
"the men teachers are of a calibre
unexcelled in Canada." How such
goings -or affect you, we have no
way of telling; gut personally it
produces a not -too -faint sickish feel-
ing.
* * *
Six months or so ago we warned
our readers that phony Irish
Sweep tickets were becoming more
and more common. Now the au-
thorities, bound to stamp out this
"evil" have gone about it in a way
that will only make things all the
easier for the peddlers of the
counterfeits. For now you have no
check at all on the genuineness of
the ticket you ..purchase— for
merly, if you got a receipt, you
knew at least the money had got
to Ireland.
* *
Seems to us that these lotteries
are another of the several things—
like handbook making—about which
we might very well take a more
realistic view. So long as lotteries
are run, so long as there is betting
i n horse races, people are going to
buy tickets and back the horse of
their choice. Why all the profits
should go to our most undesirable
e ments is just another of those
matters we never do hope to under-
stand.
