While Manitoba's representative in ‘inter-provincial playofls—the Pauilnkialled to sldetrack Van- couver's classy Clover Louie, now battling Montreal Y.M.H.A.' ior the Canadian championship, they put Winnipeg back on the basket- ball horiron by extending the Van- couver quintet to the limit in the-r

best-oi-threq Western final.

The Winnipeg squad also brought in top-ranking United States ag- gregations for exhibition games, drew near-capacity houses. Manager Al Carlson said there is a good chance of Paulina next season bringing in such teams as Minneapolis Lakers oi the National Basketball League and Phillips Oilers, top independ- ent rlvesoma oi the U.

Evidence that the Pauline team was on a par with others in the countrywas brought out in the report that playing captain Jack

The "Ace" MoCloskey-Johnny Moroau bout. is off. Promoter Joey McDonald yesterday received a wire. which read in part: “Fighter unable to appear Thursday. De- ported back to the U.S.A." The tP-leflemgvas signed by Lem Moore, Kelly and Hayes. .

The necessitated cancellation o! tne main attraction will no doubt be received with‘ disappointment by light fansl However, that the lest oi the card may go on as per schedule. Promoter McDonald, who was unable to obtain a suitable opponent on such short notice for the ."Ace", has arranged ior a six- round bout between Tom MoClos- key, brother o! the "Ace", and Harry "Kid" Poulton, present claimant to the Island lightweight championship.

In consequence o! the change in program, prices at the Sporting Club ior tonight's card have been reduced to ringside $1.00, reserved 75 cents, and rush 06 cents.

‘Phere was no explanation for

‘on restrictions on the amount oi

The other bouts on the card will 8b on as advertised. Kid eid and Rociq’ Mills will battle it out in a ton-round alisir for whet is claim- ed the Island middleweight title.

Emmett Gallant and Lloyd Carr Mil meet in another scheduled ten-rounder. Carr, on the losing end in his last two appearances here, has been training faithfully ior this bout and, seeking revenge for bis previous setback will be in tip-top condition for tonight's "Km" Both boys tip the scales in the low 140's. "

There will be e. three-round bout between Tiger Steele and Young Trainer and another preliminary event to round out the card.

Looking in the proverbial "pink", Ace McCloskey arrived in the city by plane yesterday and although disappointed when advised oi the mobility oi Moreau to appear as slated, nevertheless will take an active part in tonight's card. as he has consented to set as reieree Ior some oi the events scheduled.

in 1940 when he worked in the stable of the late trainer Wrillia Jarvis, who had the splendid iiily Godiva in his care. Godiva had speed to burn but she hated her handlers, all but Marks.

The boy slept in her stall, bobied her with candy and became the only practice rider she would a1- low on her back.

Marks was up on her in the 1.000 Guineas and the Oaks and the pair won both classics in s. walk. Overnight Doug was iamous.

A few days later. riding another savage horse in exercise Marks was thrown and kicked. Hirspine was fractured. Doctors despaired of his llie.

The lad’s courage kept him alive. He fought back irom the brink oi death, was walking on crutches 18 months later and by i944 was able to ride again.

He'd grown heavier and had to turn to steepiechasing, wharehe began to build up another reputa- tion. Only iast month the crowd at Wye called him “the luckiest Jockey in the game" when he was thrown at a ience and a field oi’ 10 horses galloped over his pros- trate body without scratching him.

The luck didn't hold. Once again a vicious horse threw him in exercise and kicked him. He went to hospital with a fractured skull. There is a strong likelihood that he will never race again, but his

' courage is undiminlshed.

Jim Nowell is such a keen sup- porter oi the Ten-by (South Wales) RugbylCiub that when he can't get to th r away games he iollows play by carrier pigeon.

His brother Tom takes two oi Jim's homing pigeons to the gennes. At hall time he sends home the score and a short account of the play. Another with iinnl wore and full scoring details follows at the ilnlsh.

Boat race rush-t is a traditional evening oi revelry in the West End, with young varsity bloods painting the town a distinct ver- million shade. But the metro- politan celebration bas nothing much on the shindig that went on that week-end at Penzence, iol- lolring a rudby some between a local team and London Hospital. When the boys finally got to bed it was discovered Isadore Redstone, a member of the hospital team was sleeping with a barber pole tucket neatly under the cov- ers of his bed.
