Three more city hall players have joined the working ranks of Central Airways and will thus be eligible to play baseball with the M C A. team. The City players, all juniors. are catcher Arnold liluccallum. second baseman Lorne Hennesscy and rlghtfielder Elmer MacNcill. Their addition to the M C.A. ranks will strengthen the Airways team in the positions where they necrl the most stren- gthening but their transfer will be quite a blow, at least psychologic- ally to the Juiilor Abbies who at the start of the season had the makings of a top notch junior team.

sixth and seventh athletes to leave the Abegweit baseball ranks and play for other squads this season. The first was Billy Purcell who joined the C and B Juniors in Summerside. Next it was Benny Carson who left for the Summer- aide juniors, although it will only be temporary. Then Glen Mathe- son of the Abegvrcit Intermediates joined M.C.A. followed by Des Trainor of the Abbic Juniors. Take six regular players off any team and you can't expect to have too much left.

. . . It is small wonder then that George Frlncis President of the

Abegweit Club and also President of the island Baseball League; Danny Maccormack. chairman of the Abegwut Baseball committee, and Ev. M.lcNeill. coach of the Abbie Juniors are feeling a bit dis- gusted with the whole affair. "The league has been turned into a commercial circuit thanks to the manoeuvring of the Curran and Briggs team in summerside and the M.C A. team here." stated Danny Maccormack. "We develop the players here and the other out-, fits pounce on them like hawks upon 1 chicken to suit their own ends. The C and B in the Curran and Briggs team should be chang- ed to mean Charlottetown and Borrowed players while the Mr C. A. in Maritime Central Airways could well mean More Charlotte- town Abbies as far as baseball is concerned." he added. . . . "There will still be an Abegwelt Junior team,” stated Abbie Presi- dent George Francis. "MacC:llIilm and l-lennessey can be replaced but the man we will miss most is Mao- Nelll. we had about 20 players trying out for the squad and many of them are good enough to step right into the shoes of the players who have left us." he continued. . . .

"The only thing is that these other clubs are making I football out of this league and their actions will not do the league any good. we were not going out to win the title. rather we wer looking at it from the point of v cw of providing: keen competition and having it good financial reward. We wanted to have good teams this year. and we had them at the start of the season. so that we' could make some money to pay for the lights. Now the problem of financing the lights will he that much harder." he concluded. O O C

And speaking of money League President Francis was It hit dis- appointed over the small amount which was contributed by the spectators at last Sunday's game here. This. of course. is an old ... but officials were hoping that the fans might be a little more generous this year on ac- count of the lights and other ex- penses that go with the operation of an Island League. I. cluded in these expenses was an amount for flr.ing up the canteen which is be- ing run by Bari "Diver" Riggs and which is kept open every evening until ten o'clock.

PHILADELPHIA. Juno 5-(AP) -Jersey Joe Walcott, 38-year-old Cinderella man of the ring, clung to his world heavyweight boxing title tonight by wlnninl H W" animous decision over former champion Euard Charles.

Proving once more that old champions never come back, the incredible old father of six child- ren from Camden. N. .T.. shook off bombing shots by Charles to grab the votes of all three offi- cials in a slow fight at Muni- clpal Stadium. V

Referee Zach Clayton. who '9' peatedly warned Charles for low blows in the third. fifth and 13th rounds. voted Walcott his biggest margin. 9-6. Judge Buck McTler- nan, who refereed the Pittsburgh match last July when Walcott knocked out Charles to win the title on the fifth try. had it for Walcott 8-7. Judge Pete Tomarco scored it for Walcott 7-6-2.

The Associated Press card had Charles a 7-6-2 winner.

There was considerable dis- agreement at ringside among the working press at the close-cut verdict.

This was a dull fight in con- trast to the thriller last July 18 at Forbes Field when underdog Walcott won boxlng's richest prize with a clean-cut knockout. There were no knockdown: in the close-fought contest although

both men were wobbled with right-hand shots. Walcott at 196 ll! had five

pounds on Charles. who at 191

N2 was the heaviest of his career.

Bidding to become the first former heavyweight champion

ever to regain his title where such greats as Jim Corbett. Bob Fltzsimmons, Jim Jeffrles, Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis failed. Charles failed like all the rest.

Appeared Dead Tired

Ezzsrd had cut: over both eyes and blood streamed from Jersey Joe's battered nose at the end as both boys appeared dead tired. Once again an underdog at odds around ll to 5, the slope-shoulder- ed Walcott taught Charles new respect for his singing left hook. still Charles came steaming back past the midway 'polnt. jar- ring Jersey Joe with long right hand leads to the jaw.

Tune after time, Walcott back- ed off in his old familiar retreat trying to lure Esaard into the trap
