* The saga of anthem-boycotting Chicago baseball writer Joe Cowley just won't go away and was mentioned repeatedly yesterday on ESPN and local Toronto radio. Cowley, who covers the White Sox for the Daily Southtown, referred -- he says jokingly -- to Canada as a "Third World country'' in a Chicago radio interview on the weekend after he refused to stand for the playing of O Canada. Jays president and CEO Paul Godfrey wrote to Cowley demanding an apology and the Jays public relations staff fired off a letter to the Daily Southtown's sports editor. Cowley told The Star he won't stand for O Canada because hockey fans in Montreal booed the Star Spangled Banner. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.
