Lcsnevich To Risk World Title July 2G

LONDON, April c - (AP) —G‘us Lesnevich will risk his world light heavyweight boxing title against Freddie Mills of England in s l5- round pro-Olympic bout st White City Stadium here July as.

Announcing the fight today, pro- moter Jack Solomons ended spec- ulatlon over whether Lesnevlch would compete next in the heavy- weight ranks or defend his title in the light heavy‘ class.

The Cliffside Park. N.J., cham- pion will receive an estimated £15.- 000 ($60,000). Solctnons declined to state the exact figure. White City Stadium has a seating capacity of 4f.'i7'7.

"I have received permission of the Bank of England to pay Leone. vich in dollars in New York ‘for his purse from the. fight and his additional earnings for film and television rights," Solomons said,

This approval was the only delay encountered in making the final urrangemdnis for the fight. which had been widely predicted in Brit- ish flstlc circles.

Mills came close to beating Les- nevich in a title fight in May, 1946. soon after the Briton was dis- charged frcm the R.A.F.

After weathering e severe beet. ing in the early rounds, he scored points and closed Lesnevich‘: left eye but ran into trouble in the 10th frame. Mills suffered two knockdowns and the referee stop- pcd the bout when the English- man went down for the third time.

Since then, Mills has had his ups and downs. He reached hi; lowest point when beaten in the fifth round by Lloyd Marshall, Ameri- can mZTo, last year,

M.A.'Il.l\. Proxy Issues Statement 0n llawks Base

SYDNEY. N. 8-. ADM] 6—(CP)—

President Charles Campbell of the Maritime Amateur Hockey Assoc- iation tonight released the follow- ing prepared statement in- which he detailed the facts surrounding Moncton Hawks “replacements is~ sue" which precipitated a warm anti-climax in the Maritime senior finals: ~

In order to clarify. if that ‘l possible to some. the replacement question of the Moncton Hawks 1 would like to give the following resume of the various events in this connection.

On March 7, the Moncton club and also the president of the Maritime Hockey league requested a replacement for the Moncton club under C.A.1~I.A. regulation M. due to the fact that their thlri player Poirier had been injured. I immediately wired the execu- tive of the MAI-LA. stating the case and by a majority vote tnis was granted with the understand- ing that doctor's affidavits would be submitted before game time. March 8. I also wired the C. A. H. A., recommending this replacement which is necessary under this reg- ulation, and the C.A.H.A. approved. The afvfidavits were supplied by Moncton and a replacement W05 allowed to play on Monday, March 8. against the Saint John club, and the game was won by Moncton.

On Tuesday. March 9, the Saint John-club objected to this re- placement on the grounds that they did not consider that Poirlel was injured to the extent claimed. and asked that another doctor oc allowed to examine him. This be ing a reasonable request it WES granted and Polrier was examined by two Saint John doctors.

The affidavit submitted by them was to the effect that he (Poirier) was physically fit and in their opinion capable of playing hockey. This information was passed on to the MAI-LA. executive with the result that the replacement grant ed to Moncton on the strength or the first affidalilt was cancelled and the game awarded to Saint John. with the final game of the Big Four playdowns to be played in Moncton March 11. This game was won by Moncton without a 1 ,1acement and they advanced to play sydney in Moncton on the 12th and 13th for the Maritime title.

On March 13, the executive of the M.A.H.A. again was requested by the Big Four Inague to have Poirler examined by doctors sp pointed by the MAI-LA. This was agreed to by the officers with the. understanding that the decision of these medical ‘men would decide the issue definitely.

The examination of Poirier was arranged with the Medical f-lealtn Centre at Seckville. and their sffi davit was to the effect that he was not injured and was capable of playing hockey, therefore this affidavit decided the case as (a1 as Poirier was concerned, and also as to no replacement.

Sunday, March 14, Idoncton again asked for a replacement claiming Demchuk was injured in Saturday's game with Sydney. Tc this request they were informed by wire that no replacements were permitted under CAI-LA. reguia~ tion 24 after teams entered their branch playdowns.

On Monday, March 15, J. Elliott Hudson, president of the Big Four League, requested and recommend ed a replacement for either Bell or Bastarache who were injured prev ious to entering branch playdowns. A vote of the officers was again taken between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the 15th with the result that s majority ruled against s replace ment.

This information was sent out immediately to the parties con- cerned at that time, which closed the issue.

Alt approximately 7 pans I re~ coived s further vote from one of i.be executive’ who hsd already

woted, changing his previous vow

after another executive member had called him and evidently ex- plained it more fully than I d.d. The vote on tho question had been closed st 2 p.m. when I sent out the decision, snd as no further vote was asked by me this vote of necessity had to be ignored as each one of the executive had already voted once.

C.A.!l.A. was naked to approve a replacement that it was requested on the reeommondstlon of tnc branch due to Poirier being injur- ed sud out for the season, but when Poirlor wss declared still sblo to lily. this of oourso nulli- flsd Ito branch recommendation sad also tho approval given by the CARA, ss no request would have been made 0o the officers of the O.A.R.A. for s rqslooemont if it wu not for the fsct that Poirler was allegedly injured. This was concurred inlay thrC. A. ll. A. Therefore.‘ nhoro rested the cue. In conclusion, would like to msks v reference to criticisms splashed by some sllegod sports writer which mode great resdins for t“ more rabid fsns, who no doubt were misinformed by those same writers. who certainly can
