MAIN ST.,. VANCOUVER 4 RIBUNE FOR ONE YEAR Gert Whyte's -SPORTLIGHT JX the four games which the Yankees took from the Dodg- ‘ ers the Yanks' scored 28 runs on 40 hits while the Bums could only shove across 17 runs on 43 hits. That tells the story of the Series in a nutshell — the New Yorkers came through when the chips were down, while the Dodgers let too many men die on the bases. For weeks to come there’ll be Weeping and wailing and gnash- ing of teeth in Flatbush. As one Brooklyn peasant commented: ‘Dem Yankees hit homers every time dey got de sacks full. It’d sicken a sow for its supper.” Ah, well, there will come an- other year. “Never a handy guy like Sandy, bootin’ them babies in,” said a song popular back in the Roaring Twenties. Earl Sande was the top hardboot in those days; old- timers will recall the match race between Zev and the French wonder horse, Papyrus, and how Sande brought the American horse home lengths in front. This week a dispatch from New York tells how Sande, trying to’ make a comeback ‘“‘because I am broke,” finished third in the third race at Belmont in his first ride in more than 20 years. Maybe it won’t be long until he hits the winner’s circle. ~* wk * * Wasn’t that a stinking deal whereby the British Empire Games pool was switched back to UBC, after citizens had been assured it was to be built in Riley Park? But the public has forced the city council to reopen discussion on the pool site. Sports fans should remember the bungling of Vancouver's NPA-dominated city council, and vote for independent aldermen when they go to the polls in De- cember. * * Waiting for the Lions’ roar in 54, Vancouver pigskin fans are naturally showing greater inter- JACK JACOBS PU it et it tee ee et est this year in the WIFU, and wondering how Annis Stukus’ crew will shape up next year. _American imports make all the headlines in Canadian foot- ball. these days, but it is well to remember that collective effort is what counts in the long run. Oh, sure, Stukus would like to grab ',off someone like Indian Jack Jacobs to pilot the Lions—but he is showing solid sensé in scout- ing around for local talent to build a solid foundation. Calgary playoff chances dim- med over the weekend when Jacobs led Winnipeg Blue Bomb- ers to a 24-17 win over Stam- peders in. a wide-open game. Jacobs tossed two perfect touch- down passes to end Bud Grant and, halfback Tommy Ford, while Ralph McAllister got the other Winnipeg major. Bud Korchak converted the three touchdowns and’ kicked two field goals. But the Stampeders, fighting for the third playoff spot, picked up a “must” win over Saskatche- wan Rough Riders on Monday, while Bombers lost to Edmonton in the new Winnipeg Stadium.

Calgary 4 ee * * * Here’s what Jack Dempsey, one of the great heavyweight champions of all time, thinks of Rocky Marciano’s punching pow- er; “During my career I scored my share of knockouts, but more often than not my opponents got up after being knocked down, and had to be knocked down re- peatedly — Willard and Firpo, for example. The same is true of Joe Louis. But Marciano needs only one solid smash and it’s all over. “That’s why I say Rocky Mar- ciano is the hardest - hitting heavyweight champion I have seen. His right gets him out of all kinds of trouble.” Dempsey says the question he’s most often asked as he travels around the country refereeing fights and wrestling matches, is, “Could you have beaten Joe Louis?” Jacks always answers, glad I didn’t have to try.” Then he adds: ‘Actually, I don’t know the answer. Nobody does unless maybe it’s Jack Sharkey. He’s the only one to fight us both.” 52 & « ‘Tm * * It is-just possible that the World Series will be held in Vancouver next year. Softball, that is.

Later there was plenty of bigwig talk- talk about holding the 1954 series in Vancouver, and a plan was also worked out. for the bringing of more U.S. teams here — for exhibition games, starting in mid-June.
