The Bulletin, Tuesday, January 21, 1964 Athletic purists faking aim on tough guy names of yesteryear PITTSBURGH (UPI) - The purists are having their day in sports and their influence has extended to the appellations of players. And more's the pity. The proper given names of ath letes appear in print these days and it's enough to make di hards yearn for the time when a nickname described a man's prowess. Time was when sobriquets conjured up images of scowl ing, rambunctious athletes. Rookies in professional football quivered at the likes of "Bull dog" Turner, "Tuffy" Leemans and "Bruiser" Kinnard. It would have been a loss to sports, journalism had the Black Hawks' Mikita adds I point to lead MONTREAL (UPI) - Center Stan Mikita of the Chicago Black Hawks added a point to his individual scoring lead in National Hockey League action today while teammate Bobby Hull took over second place from Canadien Jean Believeau. - Mikita, with a goal and two assists last week, has 59 points, including 24 goals. Hull, who pushed his league-leading goal total to 30 the fifth straight season he has scored at least that many goals has 55 points and Believeau is next with 54, including 36 assists, the most in the league. ' . Andy Bathgate of New York Rangers moved into fourth place with 45 points while Ken Wharram of Chicago slipped to fifth with 44 points. ' By pulling the biggest upset it the season in defeating the Stanley Cup champion Toron to Maple Leafs 11-0 Saturday, the Boston Bruins enabled the goaltending team of Glenn Hall and Denis DeJordy to keep Chi cago ahead in the Vezina Tro phy race. The two Chicago net minders have allowed 99 goals in 44 games for a 2.25 average. Reg Fleming of Chicago had his first penalty-free week of the season but he still led in that department with 110 min utes In the penalty box.

But it was "Muggsy" who baited um pires, invited carping opponents under the stands or heaped scorn upon a player who com mitted a boner. Taggtd Al Iron Man Joe McGinnity, who asked to pitch virtually every day and did was "The Iron Man." Sheer shortstop skill won Dave Bancroft the tag "Beauty." But the "Beast" was Jimmy Foxx, a do-all player who committed mayhem at the plate. There were imposine names to be sure. But it wasn't long before these nomenclatures un derwent surgery. Abraham Lin coln Bartley of old Chicago Cubs was dubbed "Sweet Breads." Charles Busted Baldwin of Detroit soon became accus tomed to "Lady." Wellington Hunt Baldwin is a name that invites derision and he readily accepted "Wimpy." George Longfellow Winter settled for Sassafras. Spurgeon Ferdin and Chandler is fine for a Brit ish diplomat but it was "Spud" to his Yankee teammates. Musty records failed to ex plain antonyms in the O'Rourkes. James Henry O'Rourke of the old Giants was the "Orator" but Timothy Patrick O'Rourke of St. Louis was "The Voiceless." Known as Deacon Mannerly deportment and in terest in church activities iden tified William McKechnie as "The Deacon." A similar appel lation applied to Everett Scott. Nearly 80 Smiths played ma jor league baseball not exclud ing one who began life as Giu seppe Perilo. Yet curiously, no one ever thought of a nickname for Christian Wilhelm von de Ahe, a native German who managed St. Louis in 1884. Harold apparently didn't eaten the fancy ol tans. That s wny Traynor was known as Pie"; Reiser as "Pistol Pete" and Shumacher as "Prince Hall." Does anybody know why Rus sell Aubery Blackbume of the White Sox was known as "Lena?"

Clay is, of course, the bom bastic young feller out of Lou isville who will entangle with Charles (Sonny) Liston at Mi ami Beach on Feb. 25 for the world heavyweight title.

THE OREGON PREMIERE OF CATCH A leader In Larry Zeidel, who spent 10 minutes on the side lines to run his penalty total to 129 minutes or more than two full games, r Denver's goalie, Al Millar, incurred a $200 fine and a stern warning from the league president after losing his tern-! per at Vancouver last Tuesday and hitting another player with ms suck. Millar has played poorly since then and Denver therefore has no longer looked too good for the rest of the league. Miliar, who has been recalled by To ronto, departs suit leading the league's net -minders with a 2.69 average. But the once in vincible Denver team appears to be in deep trouble. Denver, which led by 21 points only a few days ago, sow has a 13-point lead over Los Angel es. Seattle and San Francisco are deadlocked for third place, three games farther back at 42 points. Two of the league's six teams don't make the playoffs and Portland (38) and Vancouver (35) seem likely candidates to sit out the post-season competi tion. Even If the rest of the league cannot catch up with Denver, the Invaders will no longer be the automatic choice In the playoffs following their miser able showing of late.
