Great Miler Herb Elliott Ends Spectacular Career

By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor

Herb Elliott, one of the great miiers of all time. said a few weeks ago in England that "there are more in life Jian lust chasing around in cir- iles." - What he meant was that he vas finished with track after a xpectacular career ‘that saw um whip the best in the world 11 the mile and 1,500 metres. its final fadeout had been in- :iorlous — last in a half-mile race for Cambridge University u June.

It didn't bother Elliott. He iad told meet organisers he was mi of condition and that he would finish last. ‘.‘They just laughed. but,I still came last, though I ran as well as I could on the day," he said.

Elliott won't even be a spec- tator at the Nov. fl-Dec. l Brit- ish Empire Games in Perth, Australia. If he could make it, he undoubtedly would have a few words of advice for Bruce Kidd, young Canadian middle listance star who. in many re-

spects. is similar to hustling Herb.

Both are studious young men. Elliott is studying at Cambridge where he is to take examina- tions for a science degree ext June. Kidd, 18-year-old man at the University of Tor- onto and a student in political

science, has ambitions to be- in

come a Rhodes scholar.

Elliot-t reached the top before he called it quits.

He won both the mile and half - mile in the 1958 BE. Games at Cardiff — the only man to accomplish this in the 28-year history of the games. He cracked the world mile record in 3:54.5 the same year and it stood until earlier this year when Peter Snell of New Zea- tl;;irluc1ipped a tenth of a second

He went to the 1960 Olympics in Rome “because the prospect of running in the Olympic Games stimulated and excited me," he said. He ran the race of his life. established a world and Olympic record of 3235.6 for the 1,500 metres and out-

classed the field in a memora- ble race. . SEE GREAT FUTURE

That was to be his last great

triumph. Now. at things are pre- dicted for Kidd. North Ameri-

can and British track experts predict he'll be a world beater the future over distances from three miles to 10,000 me- tres but the brush-cut young- ster has his sights set for the 1964 Olympics in Tolwo.

He isn't looking beyond those I

games. although it is a gener- ally-accepted principle in track circles that distance men don't reach their peak until they reach their late ms. Kiddiwili he just M at Tokyo, but he has advanced much faster than average runner and could be I dangerous threat in Japan. Whatever he does, it is likely

he'll just rim for the fun of it ‘ after 1964.

Like Elliott, it is conceivable that his new interests—study— will crowd out his need to run faster than any man over a long distance and to "chase around in circles."

Barry's Lions Even Series; Ari Ballem In Hero's Role

Veteran pitcher Art Ballem played the hero's role at the Old Diamond last evening as Barry's Lions squared their best of seven\ semi-final series with National All-Stars for the City Softball League at 1 -all, nipping the Park 3-2 in eight innings. an knoc ed in the decid- ing -run with a single in the bot- tom of the eighth.

With the score deadlocked at I-all going into the bottom of the final stanza, the first stick- er, Earl Murphy got to first as the result of an error. Gary Gai- lant then hunted down the first baseline and Park first sucker Joe Caswell had to rim in for it and he elected to make the play at second in an effort to cut off Murphy but he was late on the throw, th aving two runners on the bssepaths. Pinchhitter Murchison struck out and then

came Ballem’s important hit to drive in Murphy for the victory. SCATTERS HITS

Ballem gave up nine hits over the eight inning route but he had them well spread with the Park managing to get more than one bit in only one inning. the fourth. No rims were scored in this frame however. Ballem a I s 9 walked three and fanned three.

Frank Bradley started for the Park and toiled for six and one- third innings before giving way to fastballer John Hughes, who was charged with the loss. Brad- ley limited the Parkdaie te a m to only three hits during his tour on the hill and Hughes gave up only one, the clincher.

Errors proved the deciding factor in the Park defeat. They committed five errors and two of the miscues figured in two of the rims.

The Lions scored once in the

His victims were the pennant-conscious San Francisco Giants who are battling the Ins Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirate tor the National League nnant. This great array of sinus: was held to just two bits b the ‘man who came from the Chicago - White Sex of the American League. The fellow who mailed the no-hitter was the leadoff batter. Chuck Hiller. At that, oplnlu ‘ was divided on the legitimacy of Hiiler’s third inning bit. It was - felt that either Show or second baseman Bolling should have gob bled up the ball. Shaw, himself, felt that if Hiiier had been denied -' at hit in the third, he woiddn’t have obtained one in the ninth " He believed catcher Crandall and himself would have handled the leadoff man in went fashion.

Now taming the Giants with two bits is a mighty chore and ' it stamps 1)/i‘.r. Shaw as a most formadible moundsman. He was complete master of fellows like Mays, Cepeda, Davenport, Mo- Covcy and Alcu.

Shaw's last triumph was exactly a month ago, That one was over the Mets by a score of 7.1. After that he ran into a barrage of tough luck. He was beaten by the Giants 4-2 because he failed ' bowed to the Dodgers after holding them to three hits in six innings: to the Cardinals when he was knocked out by a fiverun bombardment in the sixth: to the Cubs 2-1 on s misjudged fly in the tenth and then to the Cards 3-0 after allowing four hits in seven innings.

He Deserved It
