Sports -And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS =r3 ("A Sixbit Critic^') =: We never expected to live to tee the day! A new manager was recently hired by The Toronto Maple Leafs baseball teafti â€" and on hig first meeting with the as- sembled respresentatives of the Press almost knocked them off their seats by coming out with the breath-taking statement, "I'm not promising anything for next sea- ion." This, coming from any sporis manager, would be surprising enough. But from a Toronto base- ball leader, it is equivalent to eith- «r Vishinsky or Gromyko saying "Yes" tftree times in a row. * * * For years past Toronto baseball fans have been living on promises. Real gluttons for punishment, they have supported â€" not lavishly, but k lot better than they deserved â€" teams that were seldom anything except painful to watch. Then the usual routine was something like this â€" First, fire the old manager; â€" Second, hire a new one; and Third, â€" have the latter make the breath - taking announcement that we were going to have a scrappy, fighting team to root forâ€" next year. * * * Then, next year â€" the same old thing. Big crowds to greet the new outfit â€" loud ballyhoo â€" and then, after a couple of weeks or months, the realization that while the faces might be new, the quality, or lack of it, was about the same as ever. Now arrives a new manager, Ed Sawyer, who comes out flatfooted and says "I'm not promising any- thing." Even if it gets him black- balled by the Managers' guild, his words deserve to be put in Neons over the entrance to the Ball Park. Even if he doesn't happen to get anywhere wHh the team â€" which is a • pretty hard thing to do with the peculiar Toronto setupâ€" he's going on the sound horse-racing precept that, if you go to the races flat broke, the worst you can get is an even break. * « • Om of th* profoundest sayings regarding present-day life was made by a man not otdinarily looked upon OS a deep-thinker or philoso- pher. It was Jimmy Durante'* "Everybody wants to get into tk* acf'â€"and it pretty well sums up a publicity-conscious generation that . regards "getting your picture in the paper" as the height of felicity. Ex- amples of this widespread love for "mugging" in front of a camera art so numerous that we will mention only one. It was a picture taken at the scene of a particularly brutal recent murder â€" and of eight fairly promin- ent people facing the camera, only two, or at the oUtside three, had any reason for being there outside of morbid curiosity or a desire to, "gtt into the act." • » • When one team clearly out- classes another, should it go "all- out" and run up as big a score as possible, or should it take things fairly easy, and keep the scoring down to reasonable proportions? That is a question which faces ma- nagers and coaches occasionally, ~ and there doesn't seem to be any really satisfactory answer â€" outside of "It all depends." • • * Football is perhaps the worst of all sports in this regard; for while a 40 too beating in football is actually not much more one- sided than 7-0 baseball or hockey, it looks that way. And we thought that the University of Toronto Blues were to be criticized when, during a pre - season trip to the west, they ran up terrific scores on teams that were helpless against their greater power and experience. « * * But when we said something of the sort, at the time, it was jl U. of T. undergraduate who gave us a clue to the reason. "Those guys know that when the real shooting starts. Western Univer- sity Mustangs will wipe the earth with them â€" so they're getting re- venge for those coming shellack- ings by taking it out on those poor teams out in Saskatchewan and Alberta. « * • Maybe he was right, at that; for it Is a long time since we have seen any outfit dominate the op- position as those Mustangs seemed to do the past couple of seasons or so â€" and still longer since we have known teams to go on the field apparently satisfied that they were beaten before the opening whistle as the young gentlemen representing Varsity, Queens and old McGill. The "old College spirit"â€" like a lot of other spirita â€" seems to be suffering from t bit too much dilution. • * • Talk to school teachers anywhere, and they'll tell you that their task has become harder of recent year* because of th* lessened control th*% have over their pupils. Th*y always put the blame for it, too, on tk« parents â€" th* trustees â€" on anybody, and everybody but themselves. And who or* we to argue with a schopl teacher f • * * Then, just when w* had about come to the conclusion that • school teacher's lot is not a happy one, th* lady school teachers of • certain city elect a "Glamor Queen* from among their midst and, not t« bt outdon*, th* male educationiti* w * ""*^^*v*^ *"^«s!,»- I . K^-si Jasper Beaver to Britain â€" En route to England as part of Can- ada's donation toward the replenishment of Britain's xoos, these beaver took along their own supply of hardtack. Natives of Jasper National Park, they will feed on tasty, vitamin pack- fd Poplar poles cut for them by the Park's warden. George Fowlie, who is shown serving them their last meal before the journey eastward. With three bears for travel mates, the bca\cr left Jasper in a Canadian National Railways express car and were transferred lo <in ocean liner on arrival at Monlieal. of the same place promptly choose a masculine counterpart. And instead of being properly ashamed the new "Gla^tor Boy" defended the whole silly business, saying that it ntight bring before the public the fact that "the men teachers are of a calibr* unexcelled in Canada." How such goings-or affect you, we have no way of telling; iut personally it produces a not-too-faint sickish feel- ing. • • » Six months or so ago we warned our readers that phony Irish Sweep tickets were becoming more and more common. Now the au- thorities, bound to stamp out this "evil" have gone about it in a way that will only make things all the easier for the peddlers of . the counterfeits. For now you have no check at all on the genuineness of the ticket you purchase â€" for merly, if you got a receipt, you knew at least the money had got to Ireland. * » » Seems to us that these lotteries are another of the several things â€" like handbook making â€" about which we might very well take a more realistic view. So long as lotteries are run, so long as there is betting -fi horse races; people are going to buy tickets and back the horse of their choice. Why all the profits should go to our most undesirable e ments is just another of those matters we never do hope to under- stand.
