The punch that saw lloim take the count for the third time in his career out of 87 fights came with only Z0 seconds of the eighth round remaining and at a. time when llolm appeared to be making a rally from the punish- ment which Sparks had been sub- jecting him to.

After winning three of the first five rounds with rallies in the lat- ter half of each. Holm, as game a fighter as ever laced on a glove, saw his margin fade as Sparks ouilought him badly in the sixth and seventh cantos. Holm suppor- ters, however, wcrc given plcniyto cheer about as the eighth got un- der way. Holm apparently imper- vious to punishment came out swinging to start the_last round. But the superbly conditioned Sparks, cool and unrufllc-ci, with- stood the flurry of punches the Springhill boy threw at him. He was waiting for his opening-and it came. .

As the bzittleis spurred in the centre of the ring, both tircrl from the gruelling pace which they l1ad carried on from the flrst,Holm left himself open for a second. It was enough; Sparks. lifting to his toes,

I-Ioim made motions to arise from the canvas but there was no doubting the potency of the blow that sparks had landed.

It was a dramatic finish to a fight that lived up to all advance expectations. From the opening gong on both boys fought and fought hard. Sparks. it appeared. always came out with a rush but Holm, courageous to the highest degree, managed to even things up before the round had finished. However, in the sixth and seventh the tide o! ‘battle shifted strongly to Sparks. In these rounds the colored boy had a big margin; Hol-m rallied through tho greater part of’ the eighth and had the majority of the fans envisioning a I-Iolm victory, but sparks nude certain of the lust punch of the fight-tho left hook that ended the battle travelled not more than six inches but behind it was one hundred and eighty pounds of sup- erbly conditioned fighter.

Dodgers ‘And Giants Still Keen Rivals

BY PAUL DIICKEIBON Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK. April I'D-The sit-

uation is unchanged and baseball's xreatest rivalry is still between the Brooklyn and New York Jernts: Burleish Grimes hasn't been able to erase the dafliness streaks from thlils Dodgers; the hottest fans in

e game are still blowin gaskets in old Flatbush. s.

Almost every inch of Ebbets Field. home of the Flatbush fol- lies. “'55 Packed as the Jemts and Follies boys swung at each other in their inaugural today.

Th6 show opened in true Flat- bush fashion. After a. (an had held up the game by tossing me- crackers on the field that almost burned down a hot-dog sign. Dick Bartw stooped up to bat. He beefed at the first pitch, a called strike, and the Flatbush fans got their first big chance to howl. One of them threw a ripe tomato that struck- Dick on the shoulder and great was the develish glee as Dick walked to the bench togetatowel.

Tough old Burleigh. came up with four new faces on the bar room floor for the opener and they did right well for themselves. They were "Long Tom" Winsett. who is troubled with what they call “t0 left feet" on account of he has trouble running for fiy balls that are hit to his right; old Heinie Manush who started life as a plumber; Woody English-who wore splinters in his pants by sitting on the Chicago Cub bench, and Cookie Lavagetto, who did like- wise at Pittsburgh.

Lavagetto hit some hard balls but upheld the matbush tradition for second basing by making two errors.

fn a long pre-game talk, Grimes told _Van Mungo that talk about pitchers not being able to hit was the bunk.

"I used to love to hit," mention- ed Burleigh. "You can hit, too.”

Mungo took the lecture toheart, slamming out a double to give his pals a 3-0 lead. But in true Flat- bush fashion, the boys couldn't hold their margin. Base stealing was a top-of! on the 1937 Flat- Ibush edition. They tried twice and were nipped both times by a. good city block.

(CI. By Guardian's Special Wire)

TORONTO, April 20—Adoption of the Ontario Hockey Association's “four-two" import clause by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associ- ation in annual convention here today applies only to Dominion playdown games as far as Wcstcm and Maritime teams are concerned, it has been announced.

The clause permits senior teams to use four imported players dur- ing the season and junior and- in- termediate teams two such players. For the benefit of the West and lvmritimes, however, a rider was st- tached to the clause allowing teams in those areas to use more than the regulation number of imported players during the regular PlBYlHB season.

Teams from these areas who reach Dominion playdowns. howev- er, will be forced to drop excess ‘mports at that stage of compfill" tion.

It was also stated that associ- ation branches could set i-hB 00l- 15 deiuiiine for "imports" a "trifle earlier" if they so desired. Conven- tion today adopted Oct. 15 as the 1m date for player transfers P"- vlously Jan. 1 had been the dead- line.

The stage was set last night for play in the first round of theinter- city badminton tournament for the L. G. Lewis trophy. The touma- ment which will get underway at the Armouries as soon after seven o'clock as is possible will bring to- gether the cream of the Island feather flickers from Charlotte- town and Summerside.

A strong aggregation of thirteen teams representing the western capital will invade the local courts with high hopes of lifting the coveted trophy held the past two years by city rocquet wlelders. A glance at the Summerside "bird" artists reveal that the city repre- sentatives. which include finalists and semi-finalist: in the recent city inter-club play, will face no mean threat in an effort to retain their iaurels.

Hopes of the local icam were dealt a severe blow yesterday when Walter Goss. singles and mixed doubles champion, suffered a badly out hand which, it is feared, will keep him out of the tournament. Arrangements for a substitute were not completed late last night.

A large gallery is expected t0 be on hand tonight to cheer the locals and applaud the all-round spectacular playing which the tournament is sure to produce.

The second round will likely be played in Sununerside Friday night.
