Howard Wins Lightweight

Title In Split

By GERRY MARTIN Canadian Press Staff Writer

HALIFAX (CP)-Richard (Kid) -Howard of Halifax pounded out ti split decision over Armand Savoie .of Montreal Tuesday night for the Canadian lightweight boxing title. Except for brief flurries. the fight lacked excitement.

Howard and Savoie lied each other up with infighting.

Howard. Maritime lightweight champ. got the nod from both judges while referee Gussle McLel- lan of Glace Bay voted in favor of Savoie.

There were few boos when tltel decision was announced. only a; surprised silence. Howard was carried around the ring with his handlers making most of the noise.

Savoie still wore his grin but looked stunned. The taller French- man seemed frcshcr at the end while Howard was tloticably tired in the final round. He held on al- most continuously.

N0 KNOCKDOWNS

'I'llct'e were no knockdowns. Hf)- wnrd weighed l.'l4l,2 pounds antll Sauiie just made the 135-pound limit.

Decision away but after the fourth round Howard seemed to gain confidence.

The fifth round was the best. Howard threw earlier caution to the winds and bulled into Savole. He staggered him early. but Sa- voie weathered the barrage.

Savole. seemingly annoyed. cut loose for the first time in the clos- ing mlnute of the round. Howard covered up on the ropes. then broke off and was after Savoie again at the bell.

The fight dragged through the middle rounds with scattered boos drifting out of the packed house, estimated at 7.500.

SAVOIE WEATHERS 10TH

The tenth was probably Ho- ward's best. He belted Savoie with several hard body punches and hammered him into the ropes with vicious. chopping rights to the head. Savoie took quite a few punches. didn't seem to be in trouble.

The last two rounds were Sa- voie's as Howard seemed content to go the distance. Savoie nearly floored him in the final round.

The six-round semi-final pro- vided the best fight of the night as

NEW YORK. (AP)-Crafty Sal Maglie. New York Gianl.s' 31-year- old curveball pitcher. and Bob Lemon. Cleveland's 23-game win- ning ace. will open the world ser- ies today at the Polo Grounds.

Although managers Leo Dur- ocher of the Giants and Al Lopez of the Indians held up official an- nouncements until early Tuesday afternoon, almost every fan had "selec'.ed” the pitchers days earl- ler.

Strong support for the American League champs. who set a league record by winning 111 games. sent the Las Vegas gambling odds to 9 to 5 on the Indians. Solid front- line pitching and the tradition of American League victory un- broken since 1946. edged the price higher.

LEFTFIELDER NOT NAMED

Duroclier still held out one bit of information--his starting left fielder. Depending on how he feels about it this morning. Durocher will play Dusty Rhodes 1 left- handed hitter with a .341 average or the veteran Monte Irvin right- handed with a .282 average.

If Rhodes plays he'll bat in the N0- 4 cleanup soot. followed by Willie Mays. the league batting champ, and Hank Thompson. If Irvin starts, Mays will hit fourth. fouowed by Thompson and Irvin in that order.

55,000 EXPECTED

Maglle has made a fine come- back after suffering with a bad back and a sorry 8-9 record last season. The scowllng "barber"witb

the long sideburns applied the clincher last week by beating Brooklyn just as he had won so

many big games all season.

During the '1954 season. Maglie completed nine of 32 starts for a 328 earned run average -and a 14-3 record.

A crowd of about 55,000 is ex- pected for the opener.

some 3,600 bleacher seats at 32.10 and standing room at 34,20 go on sale this Jnornlng.

Although th'ere is a good chance of rain Thursday, the weatherman predicts the opener probably will escape rain clouds headed toward New York.
