SPORTLIGHT

By NAT SHERLOCK

The columns of Ken
Woods and Sportsman are in
the same vein. They can be
dealt with at the same time.

Ken Woods says he enjoys
baseball. But the trend and
logic of his column poses a
question as to whether he takes
in the Capilano Stadium to
watch “Triple A” baseball or
merely to sing “The Maple
Leaf Forever.”

His antipathy to the Van-
couver ball club seems to stem
from what he assumes to be a
strictly American show. While
I can’t see the connection be-
tween a professional ball play-
ers national origin and the
calibre of his performance,
nevertheless, it should be noted
that the Pacific Coast League
is composed of players not only
from the U.S., but also from
Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico,
Mexico, Venezuela, Panama,
the Philippines, Nicaraugua,
etc. In fact some of them hard-
ly speak a word of English. If
he is looking for international
flavor, it’s there.

The statment about the
ownership of the Mounties and
that the Industrial League on
Powell Street grounds draws
250. (The attendance of the
Mounties) will have to be dis-
missed as a wild pitch.

The sponsorship of amateur
teams might hold some merit;
energetically applied, this
scheme could by 1970, provide
3 or 4 players of “Triple A”
class. However, to say that the

Vancouver ball club ignores
local talent is inaccurate. They
provide training schools not
in Vancouver, but in various:
other centres of the province.
Furthermore, major league’
scouts have every amateur:
player under observation and”
the least sign of potential does’
not pass unnoticed. r

Now to Sportsman’s allu-
sion about worker’s confusion
concerning professional sports.
Certainly, all professionals in
this country including sports,
are capitalist tainted and the
profit motive is there. Big in-
terests play around with sports
as they play around with the
stock market. There are some
glaring disproportions in the
payment of professional
athletes. There might be some
over emphasis and lack of
proper balance between pro-
fessional and amateur sports,
but to infer that professional
baseball in this city is depriv-
ing anyone of the opportun-
ities of playing baseball for the
fun and the exercise is utter
nonsense.

One can quibble over the
meaning and definition of pro<
fessionalism, nonetheless, you
still will have spectator sports
under Socialism, and you will
also have well trained and
highly skilled performers.
Some of these performers will
be exempt from other social
obligations. The only differ-
ence will be that certain
abused and objectionable fea-
tures engendered by capitalism
will be removed.

MAY DAY RALLIES

Successful May Day celebra-
tions were held in both Natal
and Nanaimo on May 1.

The Nanaimo meeting heard
UFAWU spokesman Tom Par-
kin, CP speaker Mona Morgan,
Charlie Boylan of the SYL and
George McKnight from Al-
berni.

Resolutions unanimously
adopted called on the Canadian

SUCCESS

government to condemn S.
African racial policies, urged
success at the Summit meeting
and expressed solidarity with
the people of S. Korea.

The Natal rally called for
disarmament and for banning
of nuclear tests and weapons.
Many prominent speakers in-
cluding MLA’s Tom Uphill and
Leo Nimsik spoke.

Gymnastics are very popular in People’s China. Photo

competition.
