The Seaforth News, 1959-08-20, Page 7About That Third Major League Even with the approach of the second All-Star ane at Los Angeles and the remarkably close major pennant races, .ball players were 'focusing much of their attention on New Yorker William Shea's proposed Con- tinental League, a third major. There were so many questions unanswered, so many problems for which there seemed only to- ken solution, a majority of on- lookers were a bit bewildered by it all The Shea group was confident that nothing would stand in the way of 1961 operation, but out.' eiders merely.shook their heads and wondered. At today's prices, could such a mountainous ad- venture 'mesh smoothly and suc-' cessfully in less than: two years? Men who understodd the prob- lems of major baseball doubted it. Officials of the National and American Leagues did not ques- tion Shea's right to an ambitious third circuit operation. They simply felt that he had no idea what he was getting into, how snuch would have to be done be- fore a Continental League open- ing, Most questions at this time are questions . of, the ignorant, because only Shea, his associ- ates and advisers actually know the answers, or if there can be answers. But from a distance there are things you have to ponder. Here are a few of them: The Continental League keeps ' insisting that the present majora will help with the player prob- lem, passing surplus on to the new circuit. But how will the Important pension plan be af- fected? Can the expensive'pen- alon system be broadened to in- clude the Continental? If not, will players now in the Na- tional and American Leagues want to move into the third league? The Shea group has suggested as I understand it, that it will fight any opposition• by the pre- sent majors. Wilt fight with what? If the .case were taken to a congressional level, all of baseball would ,be affected by an unfavourable ruling, includ- ing the Continental League writes Rumill in the Christian Science Monitor. A're cities like Houston and Minneapolis and New York go- ing to pay major admission. prices for what is obviously a minor product? One needs only tour the American League and take a close look at this stirring flag battle involving the Indians and White Sox - to check some of the key players in this struggle - to familiarize himself with the manpower -situation in base- ball today. Castoffs are becoming big men in such places as Cleve- land, Chicago and Milwaukee. This is a far greater problem, it seems to me, than third league fathers think, or if they realize it they are ignoring it. According to quotes picked up here and there, they shrug off the personnel matter as no problem at all. But it is. It has to be. Continental backers insist they are not interested in making money, They talk only as sports- men and sportswomen- interest- ed in broadening the profession- al baseball map. If this is true they will be rare indeed in the modern sports world. Even if they are not interest- ed in profits, how long will they accept staggering costs and losses? If the present majors have been wrecking the structure of minor league baseball for years, slowly but surely eliminating the major source of player ma- terial, what will an even broad- er map do, to the game's incu- bator? This Continental League ven- ture is either backed by the courage 'of Vikings or the most uninformed in the history of the national pastime. Only time can decide whibh. RAIN CHECK — Braves' players Ed Mathews and Warren 4pahn take shelter from the rain in Fenway Park, Boston. The exhibition game was called after five innings. WALLS 'F.ALL - With a tug of powerful cables the 160 -foot - high steeple of the Trinity Lutheran Church, Los Angeles, Calif., crashes to earth. Watch- ing with arms upraised is its minister, Rev.

On The Juke -Box Gravy Train For all its traditional love of opera, Italy is a.pop-happy land, and these days its No. 1 tune - smith and crooner is 31 -year-old Domenico, Modugno (pronounced Mo-doen-yo), a sleepy-eyed gyp- , sy with a small, come -hither mustache. His song "Volare" (To Fly) won the 1958 San Remo Song Festival, an Oscar -type honor that helped rocket its rec- ord sales over the 8 million mark, including 2 million in the U.S. alone, This year he wrote "Piove" (It's Raining). Incred- ibly, the tune won another first prize at San Remo. Modugno, who lastmonth was off on a tour of Spain, North Africa, and South America, rep- resents something of a musical phenomenon in Italy. As he ex- plained: "I opened up the win- dow and threw out, a lot of junk, including a cupboard fuil.of fake sentiments which had .ceased to have any.meaning." Ignoring the saccharine ' tradition of Naples, with amore, he has used dialect and folk themes and chopped the long Italian words into brief, hot notes in most of his 65 songs. "Volare," for instance, never mentions love; it merely takes the listener on a lilting flight "intothe blue, painted blue." Postwar Italy was ripe for pop singers. The United States Army and its radio stations had intro- duced jitterbugging and disk jockeys, and right after these came a glittering flood of juke- boxes (about 35,000 today). Mo- dugno and his guitar rode ,this craze right to the top. If you think that the price of this paper is too high, consider: haven't you had that many cents' worth of fun yakking about it? TWINSIES IN VEGAS- Just' relaxing near a pool, showgirl twins Connie,.left, and+Bonnie Steinle get the resemblance noted in Las Vegas, • Addict Must Cure Himself Inmates of the Drug Addiction clinic at Mimico Reformatory are no longer addicted. Their systems no longer cry out for the relief and sense of wellbeing, brought on by an injection or "fix" of narcotics. But most will return to the habit sooner or later. They no longer need narcotics because they have been through the "withdrawal" period, an agonizing period, where, . de- prived of drugs, they suffer un- told anguish as their systems be- come adjusted to a normal pat- tern. Once this stage is past the addict becomes' an ex -addict and he is. physically able to function without the• use of narcotics. To keep them' froth returning to drugs oncethey are released) is almost impossible task of the staff of the Drug Addiction Clinic. Said clinic psychologist George Luce, "They have no- where to go once they are out but back to their old haunts, which invariably are breeding grounds for addicts, prostitutes and others who contributed to their addiction in the first place. Edward Maxted, clinic rehabi- litation officer said in order to stop the ex -addict from return- ing to his formerways was to transplant him to an entirely dif- ferent environment, "If we can convince him not to associate with the element responsible for his addiction in the first place", he said, he has a fair chance of abstaining". Pointing to a file of cards on his desk, two inches thick, he said, "There are 80 inmates who have been treated here and I know where they are and what they are doing in case they need help." When he contacts a pros- pective employer directly, he ex- plained, he leaves it up to the inmate to decide whether or not the employer should be told of the inmate's addiction, "Those convicted and sent here f o r addiction, psychologist George Luce said, resent the law interferring, they can't see they're hurting anyone b u t themselves and think it unjust." "They object to being sent to jail," he said, "for sticking a needle in their arm." Treatment at the clinic is pri- marily educational, he said, to point out by lectures and films the physical and mental deterior- ation accompanying narcotic ad- diction. Sedatives and tranquil- izers are administered discreet- ly, he said, since once addicted to one drug an inmate looks for a comparative result in another. Narcotics, he explained, depress the nervous system and cut off alarm reaction and an addict can be, seriously ill without realiz- ing it. Occupational therapy plays a large part in making an inmate feel he is capable of something worthwhile, Said occupational therapist Patricia Fisher," This is permissive treatment, we don't try and . tell them .what to do, but make the facilities available to them to build things, paint, do copper and aluminum etch- ing and other crafts hoping they'll discover they can do something that Will help them abstain from narcotics. Drug addicts can no more be cured than alcoholics, Mr. Luce said, there are periods of ab- stinence, but once the fatal first step is taken again they are back were they were in the first place Rehabilitation program which will keep inmates' away from narcotics after they are released is .the aim of the clinic, he said, but the co-operation of the ad- dicts themselves,. is necessary' , They have to realize it is not the responsibility of the public or the law to keep them away from narcotics they have to want to abstain or all the rehabilita- tion treatment is wasted, he added.
