TORONTO - Former columnist and sports editor Milt Dunnell, a Toronto Star legend and Hall of Fame journalist known for his deft turn of phrase and encyclopedic breadth of experience, has died. Arian Foster Womens Jersey . He was 102. Dunnell died at North York General Hospital late Thursday night, a source from the Star told The Canadian Press. "To be honest, when I was younger, I never thought Id make it to 50," Dunnell told the Toronto Star in 2005 when he turned 100. "In some respects, Im healthier now than when I was younger. But I dont think theres any great achievement in living to be 100 years old." Dunnell, who turned 102 on Christmas Eve, was an honoured member of Canadas Sports Hall of Fame, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame and the Football Reporters of Canada Hall of Fame. Dunnell was known around the newsroom as Mr. Sports or, more fondly, as Uncle Miltie. "By any measure, the former Toronto Star sports editor was simply Canadas top sports columnist for more than half a century," Jim Kernaghan of the London Free Press wrote in 2005. Good friend George Gross, the corporate sports editor of the rival Toronto Sun, called him "a beacon of classic sports journalism" and "a genius amongst sportswriters". Dunnells work took him around the world, covering Olympics from Melbourne to Mexico City or following Muhammad Ali to Zaire and the Philippines. He reached retirement age in 1970 but kept writing until 1994, when he was just shy of 89. In all Dunnell wrote some 11,000 columns for the Star. And he did it like no other. His 1966 report on the Ali-George Chuvalo fight in Toronto started: "They had a contest between a bull and a bumblebee at Maple Leaf Gardens last night -- with the usual result. The bull came out of it with his face looking like a bucket of balls at a golf driving range." Dunnell, from St. Marys, Ont., began his career writing for his hometown paper, the St. Marys Journal-Argus, before spending 13 years with the Stratford Beacon-Herald, including five as sports editor. He joined the Star in 1942 and seven years later was named sports editor. He retired from the position in 1970 but continued writing five columns a week - and to work for another 24 years. A book containing 77 of his columns, "The Best of Milt Dunnell," was published in 1993. In 1996, Sports Media Canada gave Dunnell its Achievement Award. "Dunnell reached retirement age in 1970 but went on writing five articles a week, later three, until he determined in 1994 that golf and the blackjack tables being installed at (Casino) Rama would need deeper concentration than hed been able to provide previously," former Star colleague Jim Proudfoot, who died in 2001 at age 67, said by way of introduction at the time. "This was a serious blow to literature, and not just the domestic variety." "Youd need to be a journalist, specializing in sporting subjects to comprehend just how good Dunnell really was for all those years. If you regularly perused the heavy hitters of U.S. and British gazettes and compared their output to Dunnells, then you knew Toronto harboured a superstar whod have glistened in any setting. All of us were lucky to have him as long as we did." Elite Carson Palmer Jersey . Veterans Christine Sinclair and Karina LeBlanc headline John Herdmans 26-player roster for the camp in Larnaka, Cyprus, while Marie-Eve Nault, Stephanie Labbe and Emily Zurrer are returning to the team. Deonte Thompson Jersey . Azarenka beat Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia 7-6 (5), 6-4 in a tough opening match. The Australian Open champion and Kuznetsova traded breaks in the first set. Just when it looked like the second set was going to end in another tiebreaker, Azarenka broke again to close out the match. Trent Richardson Youth Jersey .Y. -- The New York Rangers had the best record in the Eastern Conference and reached the conference finals on the strength of a tough defence, great goaltending and a relentlessly rugged style. Aaron Hernandez Womens Jersey . So were Ronny Paulinos four hits and Robert Andinos two RBIs. Dannell Ellerbe Jersey . Crosby had two goals and an assist, setting up Kris Letang in overtime to send Pittsburgh to a 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.LONDON - Arsenals flailing title hopes in the Premier League received a setback when it was held 1-1 at home by struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday, wasting a chance to move above London rival Chelsea into fourth place. With Robin van Persie - the leagues leading scorer with 16 goals - having a rare off-day, it was left to his strike partner Gervinho to break the deadlock in the eighth minute for Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. However, the hosts couldnt capitalize on their utter dominance and after Steven Fletcher equalized against the run of play in the 38th with his seventh of the season, Wolves held out for the final 17 minutes with 10 men following the straight sending-off of Nenad Milijas for a studs-first tackle. Draws on Monday by leader Manchester City, Chelsea and sixth-place Liverpool had left the door ajar for Arsenal to make up some ground but Arsene Wengers side dropped points at home for only the third time this campaign to stay fifth. Arsenal is a point behind Chelsea and 12 behind the top two, Manchester clubs City and United, after 18 games. "Theres going to be a lot of twists and turns but unfortunately we couldnt take advantage today. Thats the frustrating thing," Wenger said. "You have to take these chances." Wolves will thank Wayne Hennessey for preserving a point after the goalkeeper denied Van Persie several times. The Netherlands striker needs two goals to equal the Premier League record of 36 in a calendar year, set by Alan Shearer in 1995, but has just one match left - at home to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday - to achieve that. "It was the kind of game that if you played 20 times, you win 19 of them. Unfortunately this was the one time we didnt win," Wenger said. "Their keeper played the game of his life." Van Persie has struck up a good partnership with Theo Walcott but the England winger missed the game with a stomach bug and Arsenal missed his pace out wide. The midfield wasnt short of creativity, though, and playmakers Tomas Rosicky and Yossi Benayoun combined superbly on a counterattack for the first goal. Benayoun, making his first league start for Arsenal since his loan move from Chelsea in August, was found by Rosicky in space and the Israel captain threaded in a through-ball for Ivory Coast forward Gervinho, who rounded Hennessey to slot in his fourth goal of the campaign. Dan Connolly Jersey. Matt Jarvis was Wolves best outlet on the left wing but the visitors were being pinned back, meaning their goal came out of nowhere. Stephen Hunts shot from the edge of the area deflected into the path of the Fletcher and the Scottish forward stooped to direct a header into the bottom corner from eight yards (meters). With Wolves flooding the midfield with hard workers, Arsenal was being stifled and frustrated, even more so when Hennessey tipped over a curling free kick from Van Persie in the 65th, the first chance of many Arsenal in the closing stages. Milijas red card, for a lunge on Mikel Arteta, increased the pressure on Wolves although the 73rd-minute decision seemed harsh, with the Serbia midfielders foot remaining on the ground during the challenge. "If (the referee) sees it again, it cant be a sending-off," Wolves manager Mick McCarthy said. Van Persie, the leagues in-form striker this season, squandered a one-on-one chance when played through by Rosicky moments later. The Dutchman was then twice denied by Hennessey and Per Mertesacker had a header saved as the visitors just held on for only their fifth away point of the season. "It was the kind of day where we were not relaxed enough in front of goal. We wanted the win too much," Wenger said. Gareth Bale grabbed a second-half double as third-place Tottenham cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win over Norwich to keep the pressure on the Manchester clubs at the top of the Premier League on Tuesday. The Wales winger revived memories of his performances in the Champions League last season with an impressive individual display at Carrow Road, capped by goals in the 55th and 67th minutes. While his first was a simple close-range shot after good work from Emmanuel Adebayor, his second was more memorable, bursting through the middle before supplying a deft finish over goalkeeper John Ruddy. The win lifted Spurs to within seven points of Manchester City and Manchester United, with the London club still holding a game in hand. Queens Park Rangers salvaged a point from a 1-1 draw at Swansea in the other game on Tuesday. ' ' ' |
