Just like Williams, O'Brien and Haggis ‘appear lost in the shuffle arnong big-name sprinters from various parts of the world. They were overlooked completely in all pro-game forecasts by track ex- perts.

The laughing-eyed O'Brien, built along the lines oi a welterweight boxer, has the toughest battle. He is drawn against Mel Patton of the United States, whose nickname Peli Meil fits him. to the toes o4 his spiked shoes. The other in the heat is the Mexican Silva.

There are six in each heat. Each heat is divided into two sec- tions. The top man in each sec- tion advances to the second round. In another heat, Haggis is drawn against Stephan of France and Petrakis of Greece, Others in his heat are Diets of Peru, Denis of Trinidad and Perez of Urns!!!)'- The first two rounds of the 100 metres will be completed durinl the day and O'Brien and Haggis are not nbashed by the opposition. They are auvare that they are the underdogs but; figure that "any- thing can happen."

Fish Batch lip In June

OTTAWA, July 2'1 - (CP) — The men who go down to the sea in ships found fishing last June much better than a year aZO- And they have been getting better prices in the fish markets of U18 Msrltimes and British Columbia.

The Bureau oi Statistics report- ed today the volume of flsb\ taken last month from sea fisheries was l5 percent higher than in June last year. Landings totalled 122.- 401000 pounds, compared with 106,969,000.

There was a B0 per cent rise in value, reflecting this year's higher prices. Total value _of landings was 67.050000, compared with $5,892,- 000

The Bureau said higher prices were obtained for Atlantic cod and Pacific salmon, although the high- er value was also due in part to increased catches of highpriced lobsters.

Normally more than half the Atlantic lobster catch is taken in May and June. This year landings have been higher than 1047, but less than in 1946. Prices show no significant change frcm recent years.

The Atlantic mackerel catch — s. complete failure in May - re- verted to normal proportions in June, the peak month for mack- erel fishing. About 15,000,000 pounds were taken. Reports indic- ate that about two-thirds of the catch so far has been pickled. Prices for the raw fish are slight- ly higher than in 1947.

The Pacific coast‘ salmon fish- eries srwung into full-scale opera- tion towards the end oi June. Al- though too early for definite trends, first reports show s great- er pack of canned salmon than in

i947.

Lou Cumming took a bogie five 0n the last hole, missing a short putt for a. chance to take the lead, while Brydson holed a six-footer for a birdie three to gain a tie. An eagle three on the 530-yard 11th hole was the highlight oi the round by Cumming. l-lis card also showed five birdies, bu-t he bowled the ninth and 18th holes.

Olympic Sidelights

(By The Canadian Press)

OLYNEPIC STADIUM, Wenlbley, England, July 29—"Canada” was in a BO-country march-past today at opening ceremonies o! the 1948 Olympic Games.

Canadian flag-bearer Bob Mc- Farlana of the University of Western Ontario. London, Ont, discovered shortly before the op- ening that the Union Jack carried the word "Kanada" in. bold-black letters on a while border. 1t was the same flag used in the Berlin games of 1936.

McFarlane stuck a piece of taupe over the letter "K".

Elaine Sillburn of Victoria, only WOIDAIL broadjunuping entry from the Dominion, today received a. novel 20th ‘birthday present—a scat in Wemibley Stadium press box for the Olympic Games.

She was advised. against partic- ipating in the march-past-due to a sore lég and she faced the prospect of sitting under a. May tree outside the Stadium while the colorful ceremony was going on. she was rescued by Jack Sui- livan and Alan Harvey of the Canadian Press and had a ring- side view 100 feet up in the stands.

Praise for the Olympic idea was voiced in speeches at today's op- ening ceremony in Wembiey Sta.- dium by Lord Burghley, chairman of the organizing committee, and Dr. Cyril Garbett, Archbishop of York.

"These games are living proof of this great ccmmon bond of sportsmanship that binds the youth of the world wgetherflLord Burghley said.

N. Y. Giants In Third Straight Shutout - Over Cincinnati Reds

By The Canadian Press

New York Giants’ supposedly inept hurlers, actins no like e bunch of Carl Hubbells. yeflerdav (Thursday) hung up their third straight shutout over Cincinnati Reds, 5-0, with Dave Koslo tossing seven-hit ball.

Brooklyn Dodgers also stayed in the National League battle with their third straight over St. Louis Cardinals. 9-6. 0n Rev Compend- la. and Gil Hodges’ home"-

The leading Boston Braves down- ed Pittsburgh 2-1. and Philadelphia whipped Chicago Cubs 7-4.

The Giant victory was Rosie's second consecutive wlhiiewssh 10b- the Giants’ fifth blanking of the opposition in their last eight gam- es, and marked the fourth time in a row a New York ninser has gone the distance. The Giants won all four of the games. too, and moved into undisputed possession of third place.

Big Walker Cooper supplied the punch bhat enabled Koslo to rack up his sixth victory against 11W defeats. The catcher poled a hom- er with the bases loaded to climax a. five-run first inning.

Campainellals clout for Brooklyn came with two men on in the first- innlnn attack on loser Murry Dick- son. Then, after the Cards had battled back against Rex Barney to tie the score, Hodges slammed his eighth homer of the year on a 3-0 pitch with a man on base

Big Bill Voiselle managed to 'wecther several dangerous situat- ions and pitched the Braves to triumph over the Pirates.

Not only did the Voiselle, who sports humber "96" on his uniform shirt, twirl his 11th victory of the season but he got one of his rare hits and drove in what proved to be the winning run in the second inning. ,

Little Ralph Caballero paced‘ an 11-hit attack with three. safeties that drove in three runs as the Philiies took the rubber game of a three-game series from Chicago.

The Cubs made 15 hits and drove Schoolboy Rowe from the mound in the eighth but they were uhaible to bunch their safeties, leaving 10 men stranded on the bases. Walt Dubiei relieved Rowe.

In recent games Bill MscMurdo of the Legion and Bill Brawley ad the R..C.A.F. have been making one brilliant catch after another, and now stand out in front of all other ball hawks in the League.‘ So much is this so that whenever a fly ball goes anywhere in the vicinity oi these ilwo players, the fans who were hoping for a hit, give up immediately knowing that the batter is a dead pigeon. Claw oi the Red Sox and Carson of the R.C.A.F. are also pretty certain to make a killing in the outer gar- dens, and_ Pope of the Kinsmen looks like the classiest flyohaser among the juniors.

O O U We note in the Journal's "Realm of sport" that the time (or regis- tration of our intermediates ls drawing near, and that according to Dame Rumor, a fickle jade at best, Coach Charlie Hogan will register five pitchers, namely: Joe Bernard, Cece Powell, Pony Daley, Ray Arsenault and Gil Williams. That would mean eight men to fill the other regular positions, and say. a spare catcher, two util- ity infieklers and two utility out- fielders. Tlhls seems little enough to go and corne on until you eon- sider that in those four extra pitchers you have some excellent utility material. Supposing, for the sake or argument, Arsenault is slated to start a geurne and Ber- nard is held in reserve to put out the fire should one develop. In the other three pitchers you have a trio of potential pinch ihlttess that would be hard to top. Powell is hitting .500, Daley has an aver- age of .428 and Williams is clipping the pill to the tune of an even .300. Any onepf these boys would

llo Sign or lessening In Business Boom

_ By Forbes Rhude

Canadian Press Business Editor

Canadians continue to ring the cash registers with their dollars, and if there's any sign of lessening in their over-all demand for goods it's hard to detect.

Tlhere are shifts in the kinds of goods bought and important shifts in the places to which the dollars go, but still they are being earned and spent.

One of the most notable trends is the amount that is going to chain stores — and department stores — as compared with the smaller increases going in the in.
