The newest sports building in the area is taking shape at RCAF 'Centralia, Construction is well under way for an ice skating and hockey arena just south. of the main gate of the station. The new structure will he 0'x105' with an ice surface of 180x80. Completion date for the building, similar in construction to the fine rink at RCAF.Clinton, has been set for September of this year, S/L J, McDonald, officer in charge of the construction and engineering section reports that columns and trusses are being erected this week and that work is proceeding on schedule. When completed the cost of the new arena will be in the neighborhood of $200,000. All monies are being derived from non-public funds and from the various messes and institutes of the station. Seventy-five percent of the work is being handled by contract with the balance taken care of by station help and volunteer labor. NOW A COVERED PARK. The first covered outdoor sports stadium in the world is being constructed in Houston, Texas, and could possibly be ready for use by the latter part of the 1964 baseball season. The struc- ture, domed and air conditioned, will house the Houston .45 Colts of the National Baseball loop and also the footballing Houston Oilers of the AFL. This advancement in architecture will not only end postponements in. baseball because of rain but will also allow football games to be play- ed under better conditions. Another advantage will be for the fans, especially of the gridiron sport, who won't be forced to sit out in all kinds of weather to watch their favorites. Height of the dome at the centre will be 207 feet, as high as a 17-storey building. For base- ball the covering directly above home plate will be up 192 feet. The highest flight of a baseball has been measured at 165 feet leaving plenty of clearance, Cost of this new idea in stadiums. will be in the neighborhood of $20,000,000, BASEBALL CONTROVERSY The young major league baseball season has brought out one real controversy and league officials are calling for action to obtain unifoi ni- fty throughout both loops. The interpretation of the balk rule by Na- tional umpires has started the advocation of iden- tical rules for both circuits. 1.lp to May 7 the men in blue of Warren Giles' league had called 96 balks while their American counterparts were able to detect only 8 infractions. The National rule reads that a pitcher must come to a complete stop for one second be- fore delivering to the plate. In the AmeriCan, the rule book states that hurlers must come to a stop but does not specify a certain length of time. We would imagine that the full stop of at least a second would be to the pitcher's advan- tage. It would give him a better look at any run- ners at first base, Also a longer pause could tend to upset a batter's timing at the plate. The different interpretation of this spe- cific pitching rule is only one of several that exists between the two leagues. In the case of the balk calls, the National loop rules seem to be a little more severe but in the number of visits a manager can make to talk with his mound men the American laws are tougher. In the A.L., the manager or coach is al- lowed to go out only once in the game to confer with the same pitcher and when he goes to the mound the second time the pitcher is automatical- ly through for the game. In contrast, the NL per- mits one visit by a manager or coach to the same pitcher per inning. In the American loop, the pitcher must take his sign from the catcher while standing on the rubber and in the National league he does not. NL hurlers can receive the signal from his battery mate on or off the rubber, whichever way they please. The other variations in the majors con- cern the umpires. In the junior circuit, the plate umpire calls all foul balls until they pass first or third base. In the senior loop, however, the base umpires make the rulings as to fair or foul, In the National league, the plate umpire works from the inside, leaning down between the catcher and batter, Over in the American, the home base arbiter stands directly behind the catcher. The two leagues also differ in the type of equipment that their umpires use for protection. The American ump uses the inflated type chest protector while the National men use a fibre pro- tector that is worn inside the coat. In order to get more uniformity in rule interpretations and calls the umpires would have to be controlled by one central figure, possibly the Commissioner. At the moment President Warren Giles directs the men in blue in his National circuit while Cal Hubbard, a former umpire, is hired by prexy Joe Cronin to handle the American Situa. tion, A three day regatta is being planned for August 3,4 and 5 at Grand Bend under the sponsor- ship of the OntarloSallingCata- maran Association, The pro- vincial junior championShips 'will be decided during the re, gatta weekend. Sports contest planned for 12th A recreation prograni under Director Don Graved will be held in conjunction with the July 12 Orangemen's celebra- tion in Exeter-, A variety of games is being planned to entertain the young- sters who will be attending the day-long telebratlen.
