i.BasebalI Players Pampered Says Can. Hockey Player

By WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK (AP!-Jim Thom- son, who plays hockey for Toronto llllaple Leafs, has written a maga- nne piece which is going to make baseball players burn like a hero- sene torch.

Writing for the current issue of Parade, the veteran defencemsn says American major league ball players are pampered like sick cliilrlren. and that "whenever they suizer the sliglitsst injury, out of the -.:nmo they come. to be clucked on-r by trainers as though they wtirc glass dolls."

lie gives examples of such frag- ility and living care, comparing their treatment with "the show must no on" attitude of hockey players who, ytnt gather. will ('l'.'llill out on the ice with both legs broken and blood outing irom evri','y' Phre and insist they are able to curry on.

The Winnipeg native cites Ted Williams' bruised instep as an ex- ample of how little it takes to get a bull play-er out of action. and C0mliares the injury to a stick wound on the face suffered by Jack Stewart of Detroit Red Wings that required 33 stitches, yet which

head cuts irom the sharp edges of sticks. They are painful and gory, but don't interfere with ambula- tlon. When a hockey player can't skate. he can't play. and when a ball player can't run or throw or hit. he can't play.

SPORT FROM BRITAIN

Promoter Jack Solomons

A Promising

By ED SIMON Canadian Press Steal Writer

LONDON (CF)-Even die-haril boxing enthusiasts are reluctantly concluding that the most promis- ing heavyweight prospect in Brit- ain is promoter Jack Solomons

The destruction of British cham- pion Joa Erskine by Nina Valdes in the first round, latest in a ser- ies of disuters suffered in inter- national compstition. can scarcely be considered an upset. But the behavior of London boxing writers on the eve of the battle was a tribute to 8oIornons' promotional

loileri to prevent him from flnlah- M"

lng the name.

The comparison was a little on- iiiir. as Stewart didn't skate on his '3”. One injury was incapacitat- llill. the other painful.

Another case cited involves Dick Grout. Pirate infielder who was out for seven days last summer with is sore thumb. His idleness ta '0iiilisred unfnvornbly with the hicrlormance of Red Wings' Red Mjiy. who played through the 19-)2 Slant?! Cup plsyoiis with a broken wrist.

Again it is an unjust compari- son. We would like to have seen iu-Ily throw a baseball from deep short to first base with a broken urist.

It all comes down to the fact that baseball and hockey are two ill-'f0i'L'"i Ramos. requiring differ- ent skills. and injuries which might .-nlleline an athlete in one game might not interfere too much with his performance in another.

Most oi the hockey injurieg are

In defiance of the 3-to-1 odds and all consldsrntlona oi logic. almost every writer in town picked Er- skine to daisst his Cuban foe. With startling unanimity they sud- denly discovered the unimpres- slve record of Valdes against ton- ntod opposition, losing sight of the fact that Ersktne's unblem- ished record against rnllor ODD”- ents was entirely due to the fact that he but never met any.

In previous weeks. evcfyiiiir had been bullish on the Cuban, who emerged from the sp0i'1l pages as a combination of Joe Louis. Rocky Marciano and Sup- erman.

HAD REVIEW

After the fight. the irrepressible Solomons announced plans to treat London to a tiue bout between Valdes and Floyd Patterson. lim- icssing to see the Cuban as the logical contender. But. for the moment. the crest fallen London writers an more interested in the

Most of them tried to be as kind to I-Irskin as is possible when a fighter spends till seconds in the ring before the referee comes to his rescue. The referee. Jack Ilart was less friendly.

"I was disgusted with our cham- pion," liart said. "I don't think he gave us any value. I thought he was too soft. He wasn't tough enough."

The writers sadly agreed.

Solomons felt Erskine and other Britons don't do enough tfillnlnit J. Onslow Fnne. president of the British Boxing Board of Control. thought they train enough but don't do enough fighting.

Bobby Neill. a Scottish leather- wcight. said it's all mental-"tire Americans come with the idea they are better than us."

lngemsr Johansson. the Swede who holds the European title. said the 29-year-old Erskine was "too young" to meet Valdes. Jo- hansson. who wotild like a shot at the Cuban himself. is 24.
