Miss Karen McLeod, sister of the bride-to be, looked after the gift (Cont'd on page 13) TERRACE BAY NEWS dial By Glen May Being a Canadian and at- tempting to take a logical and determined look at the United States proves to be a complex and perplexing problem. This is a sports column and we will not deal with the internal and political strife which makes the U.S. bleed. As you know, Dr. Martin Lu- ther King Jr. was assassinated, allegedly by a white man. Riots broke out ... people died . property damage was in the millions . . . President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed a day of mourning in honor of the slain civil rights leader. And the sporting world stood still for the early part of last week. It was done, accord- ing to reports, in deference to the memory of Dr. King. This was the way it was: Sunday a round of the Greensboro Open.Golf Tourna- ment was postponed and rescheduled for Monday. Also on Monday an International Hockey League Playoff game was played at Muskegon, Mich., and an American Hockey League game at Providence, R. I., went as slated along with some horse racing. Philadelphia Phillies refused to play against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a National League baseball game. Phillies' gener- al manager, John Quinn, said his team would not play even though they risk forfeit and fine because it was the day of Dr. King's funeral services. Tradition was broken at Washington as their opener was halted. The same held true at Cincinnati and Houston. Wednesday became opening day in the majors rather than Monday. All of Sunday's final exhibition games were can- celled except the Cleveland- Dodger game at San Diego. Major league hockey and basketball ran and hid. So did all the American teams in the North American _ Soccer League. The soccer people postponed their games at such cities as Los Angeles, San Die- go, Oakland and Kansas City. Boston at Atlanta was called off for Monday night and De- troit at Kansas City was taker off the soccer calendar on Wednesday night. The American Basketball As- sociation rol somslceiaber atoms Aeiahce Mae PE Ae ee didn't con- SPORTS BEAT APRIL 18 tinue until Tuesday night at Dallas and at Minnesota on Wednesday. The National Basketball League games at Boston and Los Angeles didn't go until Wednesday evening. Tuesday it was a dark day at New York's Aqueduct race track, although it was open on Monday. Monday night Yon- kers Raceway in New York and Liberty Bell in Philadel- phia didn't operate. Batavia and New York Downs cancelled their Tuesday night card and Hollywood Park opened Wed- nesday instead of Tuesday. A boxing program in Phila- delphia was changed from Tuesday night until April 15, the National Tennis League's first tournament was set back from. the weekend at Ingle- wood, Calif., to June 7-9 and the basketballing Harlem Globe- trotters called off six appear- ances set for Monday and Tuesday. This is the way it was in the U.S. Wide World of Sports dur- ing the early part of April 1968. Perhaps white America felt it was just in halting those sports events? But didn't the colored of America march? The activities of the colored folks weren't halted -- ah, no -- they acted in memory of their fallen leader. White America cringed and hid. In this writer's opinion, to cancel is to quit. Sports figures in the U.S. could have done more good to the civil rights cause by con- tinuing rather than stopping. A minute's. silence before the game would have been suffi- cient. Racism is an ugly word, a word which has not escaped the playing fields from Detroit to Vietnam. We now wonder why Presi- dent Johnson did not proclaim a day of mourning when scores of _young Americans' were killed each week during the Vietnam war? But, this is only a piece of logic from an outsider, and as we wrote earlier, it is indeed a complex and_ perplexing problem, that country known as the UNITED States of America!
