We arty this, N130, in fill realization that we, personally, have been guilty on one or two occasions of going Over- board with our own version of an ''.All Time, All Star" sotnething' ra other- But not, praise be, more tihan once or twice, - - * * If we are not more mistaken then usual, the "All Star" gimmick wag originally started, quite a handful of seasons ago, by Walter Camp, the old Yale, And as about ninety per .cent of football in the IJ.S.A. back in those days was played by, Harvard, Princeton and Yale, Mr. Camp's picks probably carried a certain asnount of authority, seeing ti hat they were all athletes he had either closely observed in action, Orr. personally cached. In fact. we believe that one of his earlier All American eleven; had about eight Yale's in its make- up—which is the sort of selecting no modern coach or sports writer would have the nerve to indulge in nowadays, no matter how dearly he a ould love to do so, 11.

The Braves' keystone combination,•- shortstop Alvin Dark and second baseman Eddie Stanky (left to right at left), went to the New Yorker in exchange for ehortstop Buddy Kerr, pitcher Sam Webb,and sluggers Willard Marshall and Sid Gordon. Marshall and Gordon are shown, left to right, at right. No cash was involved. We have no idea of just how many of these All American line- ups are annually selected, published and broadcast; and if you have any real regard for your oxygen intake, you won't try holding your breath till we run and find out. y * * . But the three most 'important and highly publicized are those bearing the stamp of the Associated Press, the United Press and Col- lier's Weekly. (We really should have said 'four', seeing that the United people picked a defensive as well as an offensive eleven, in honor of the "two decker" sys- tem now being widely used south of the border) * * * Now all these teams were picked experts, you may be sure of that— top-ranking experts who read cords and cords of blow-by-blow past performance reports, and scanned miles and miles of taken -on -the - spot moving picture films before announcing to an anxiously wait- ing world their momentous deci- eions. * * * Well, in view of all the care, preparation and high-class grey matter employed, you might think there would be some sort of un- animity in those ;elections, 1t looks se though it will be Jae' --odds and ends. pinked up h.eic tkee, there, and saved with the ;dee of working thein into the col- umn biter.

Yet twelve months or less from now those Very same experts, or a. reasonable facsimile, will be making just the same sort of selections with just as great solemnity—and nittch the same millions of fans will be an- xiously awaiting their word, and accepting it as Gospel. Of course we know that you are probably saying to yourself that what we are writing about is a strictly American custom, and that we Canadians are not quite so naive and gullible. Well, maybe not yet—but give us time, brother, just give us time, for we're on our, way. y * Still, custom is a hard thing to break; and at this tune of the year it ie customary to pick out—if not an A11 Star Team—at least to pur the finger on some of the outstand- ing athletes. or a fele of the most naensorable happenings in the great as orld ofsport. e * Well, we're. going to be brief, and merely mention two. There was that chap -Lear, we think his name was, or something of the kitd— connected with the Calgary Stant- petters Football Team. After the Montreal Alttucttes had beaten his tenni, he gave an exhibition of sportstnan`hip which would be a Tine example for your growing boy not fallow. All he blasted for his tennis defeat were the lousy offi- ciate, the ion*y playing field, and the lousy Canadian code of rules: 1Tint trc would award the accolade the eppnintineet of kir, Vernon A. 'al, Kemp, ('.13.E., as the com- missioner of the St. John Anthu- fence for the Province of Ontario, has just been announced by George H. Craig, president of the t)nario Council of the St. John Ambulance. Mr. Kemp. who served with the Royal Canadian 'Mounted Police for e5 years, retired in 1945 with the rank of assistant commissioner and at the time of his retirement, was in command of the Criminal In- vestigation Department of the"en- tire force. In 1943, he was attached to the War Office to study methods of counter -sabotage and roaster• espionage in the United Kingdom. During the Royal tour in 1739 he was responsible for all seen the measures and performed the same function at the Quebec 00nferen. e during 1943 and 1944. In 194(1, he was created a commander of the 9rder of the British Empire by His Majesty the King, Mr, Kemp, who has been associ- ated with the work of 5t. John Ambulance since 1921, has recently retired as personnel manager of 3 oblaws Groceterfa Company, Ltd. of G.G.W. for 1949—the initials standing for ,Good Game Winner, * * * The other standout happening in Canadian sport? It was Conn Smythe's "get off that lard or get off my teain" outburst in late No- vember. Sheer genius, that was, getting the Maple Leafs=as We have said before—whole volumes of interest -creating publicity at a time when that particular TOM- modity was scarce and of poor quality, So to Conn Smythe goes the acclamation, not for the first trine, as Master Showman of Can- adian Sport. And if you think Showmanship isn't en important part of sport, a glance at eonbpara- tive box-office takings in the big league might nsake you change your opinion. Nails That Scream Slow Up Thieves Nails that scream are being used to protect merchandise from dock thieves, who lately have been more active than ever. The nails, ape- cially invented to help the police In their war against the thieves, are coated with cement' and set up a shrill warning as soon as any one starts to rip open a packing case by palling thenails out, The warn- ing can be heard up to 25 yards away, Theft and pilfering—whether by professional thieves or dock and ship employees—are now rated as one of the highest causes of ship- ping losses. Hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of goods are plundered from ships, dock warehouses, wharfside food depots, railway ears and fac- tories every year. But dock and police authorities are fighting back and there have been many Convic- tions. Big attempts are being made to break up the gangs of dock thieves who haunt the waterfronts. Whisky Round His Waist A careful watch must be kept for black sheep among the dodcers themselves. One man in England was found wearing a pillow slip Pressed against his stomach like a poultice. In the -slip, which had three specially made compartments, police found stolen sugar, rice and tea, '1 hen there was the thin man who always wore outsize clothes. It was discovered that he was carrying a dozen tins of fruit or salmon or six bottles of whisky belted to his -waist every tinge he came ashore, l'olice found an elaborate home- made harness under the raincoat of a docker whorl they stopped and searched as he was going home. It was strapped round his body and had pouches which held bottle, of export whisky stolen from ships. Another decker almost resembled s mummy when slsrched, Round itis entire body, front necit to ankles, were rolls of sill!:. It was found that he had left off his snit and underclothing to make roost for the silk, The only clothes he wore were a raincoat. - 6ron`;ers, eltoes and socks, FAMILY NIIXUP A marriage in 1?ami-ylval/M—the couple are Mr. and :firs.
