YMC] TT teh a Of this and that Hockey camps are open and exhibition games are under- way; football in Canada is producing exhibition «aockey scores; most gridiroh fans here are watching the American version on TV; baseball is head- ing towards its exciting World Series climax, and consequent- ly, your scribe is bugged. How could any sports buff be bugged with so much hap- pening, you might ask? Well comrades, ft's iike this. Until World Series time there isn't anything concrete to cheer or jeer: After all, what's so exciting about the Canadian Football League with scores of 40 being the extent of their enter- tainment value? Exhibition hockey games prove little, ex- cept to give the minor leaguers the opportunity of dressing with the best in the business. There is the American brand of football, both in the Nation- al and American Leagues. But we know their product is excel- lent, and until the early scram- bling runs its course, Sunday afternoon's quarterback club won't meet. So, for a variation from the usual pattern of this column, we've decided to ramble through a few. magazines deal- ing with sports and gleam a few quotes and notes. The rest of this column will be dedicated to sports fans ev- erywhere by sporting types ev- erywhere. ... The baseball game started early Saturday after- noon. The first and only run was scored in the evening of the following Wednesday. The United Steel Workers won the second-half champion- ship of the South Shore Little League of Staten Island, N.Y., over Stryker's in a game which went 21 innings, was halted ' twice by darkness and included 67 strikeouts, but 12 hits. Perhaps the most amazing Statistic of all for the Little Leaguers was that neither team made an error. 17 walks and ... Nino Benvenuti, the middleweight champion of the world, was discussing his Sept. 28 fight against Emile Grif- fith. Said the champ: "I'm wor- ried because I don't fear him. But even if what I'm saying seems to be a paradox, I'll be sure of winning 100 percent only when I begin to fear Grif- fith. Try to understand me. When one is too convinced of his superiority, the most un- pardonable errors can be com- mitted. I have this defect." How about that! Fresco Thompson, Los Angeles Dodger vice-president, discussing the team's offense: "We don't have a guy who can hit a sacrifice fly far enough to score Jessie Owens from third base." . .. U.S. Vice-President Hu- bert Humphrey, parrying a request that he predict which league will win the World Series this year: "I take a na- tional view of the American League and an American view of the National League." ... Swimming sensation Murray Rose of Australia has become an actor. That's OK, but it does seem too bad that the script of his forthcoming movie, Ice Station Zebra, should call for the swimmer who won three gold medals at the 1956 Olympics to die by drowning. Texas Governor John Con- nally was recently on safari in Africa for a televsion program in the American Sportsmen series. He said he was im- pressed by the ability of the big game animals to disappear in what looks like open coun- try. While American Sportsman Connally was thus engaged, his arch foe, Senator Ralph Yar- borough of Texas, was taking the Senate floor to deliver a speech. Yarborough's subject: a plea for a _ co-operative world-wide effort to prevent the disappearance of 250 kinds of wildlife now in danger of extinction.
