Wrestling

Len “Cowboy" Hughes of North- gmpton, Mass. last night won the main event of the wrestling card gtagcd at the Forum when Ref- eree Fred Hayter awarded him the third fall against Al Korman of Toronto after the latter had repeatedly fouled Hughes as the latter attempted to get back into the ring after being hurled through the ropes by the dark-brewed Korman.

It, was e sudden ending to a bout that saw both wrestlers stage an exciting show all the way through with top wrestling being displayed at times and at others hands, knees and elbows coming

into use freely as the battle warmed up between the two top- llne wrestlers.

In the semi-final Harry Madi- |on of Spmnghiii. N. 5.. was too touch for Henry Kulkavitch oi Hollywood. winning in two straight foils in whet wss another rugged brittle.

The main evcnters started out st a fast clip as Korman shrted in use fair and foul means Against Hughes. He punished the "Cow- h with forearm slams the head and body and had Iim in trouble with a series of body scis- sors before Hughes wriiggied l¥ose

to tie Korman up In‘ the lng ropes. Arm locks, end locks, body scissors were all being

brought into play until finally after thirteen minutes and 36 seconds oi wrestling Korman caught Hughes with a back-break- er that forced the latter to call it quits.

Hughes started out fast in the second fall, playing Korman at his own game of illegal tactics. Early in the round he caught Korman in an arm lock, with the latter wriggling free by kicking and gouging. In the last couple of minutes it broke wide open with Hughes. after sending Kor- man crashing with right hand punches, finally pinning him .wlth a body press after eleven minutes and i6 seconds of grappling.

The third round during the lit- tle more than six minutes it last- ed had the fans in a continual uproar as the boys practically ior- gci wrestling to go at each other with all manner of illegal tactics. Alter both had gotten free of damaging holds Hughes again tied Korman up in the ropes and the refcroe took about two minutes to extricate him. Korman came back like a raging lion to heave the Cowboy out. onto the floor. Five times Hughes tnied to get back in but Korman would have none of that. sending Hughes back out \\'ill'l well directed punches. Fin- ally Referee Hayter raised Hughes’ hand in a. token of victory. The pair tangled briefly after Hughes had got back into the ring but damage proved to be nil.

Madison Ts Winner

The Madison-Kulkavitch semi- final was a ruggediy fought affair all the way through. Madison had his opponent in trouble early with some questionable tactics but Kui- kavitch came back to punish liiadlson with a series of wrist- locks and head scissors before Madison finally caught his oppon- ent with a toe hold that forced KIIIITBVIICII‘! shoulders to the mst.

Madison was on the receiving end of some stliT ‘punishment in the opening’ minutes of the sec- end fail but worked clear. As the battle warmed up ‘both resorted to fists and knees with the result that pech grsppler was tossed out

Abegweits make a lest ditch stand at Summerside today when they tackle the Summerside All Stars in the fourth game oi the

Island intermediate playdowns. for unless they can pull out with a victory their chances of retain- ing the Maritime crown they are defending will be "gone with the wind." I I I

While local fans still give the locals a. chance to extend the ser- ies to a fifth game. they are con- vinced that the Abbies will have to wield plenty more power alt the plate plus a tightened defence to bring this about.

I I

In both matters Summerside have been far the better sguad in the three games played. In the two games played here they look- ed to be the better squad and if they can come through with an- other such performance this aft- ernoon they should write “flnis"

to the series. I I I

Abegweit players contacted yes- terday were confident oi being able to extend the series. They feel their hitting is about ready to assert itself no mat/ter what moundsnien Summersfde throws against them and are also confi- dent of forcing a fifth game her next Sunday afternoon‘ '

I I I

Covehead race track will be the scene of some sensational racing this afternoon when secretary Charlie Willis presents the opener of a two-day program that has attracted the cream of Maritime horseilesh.

o o o '

Today's program headed by the Junior Free For All with a 2.19 trot, a. 2.24 stake and a classified race, has all the earmarks of pro- ducing even more exciting duels of speed than has been unfolded all season long, with the feature event between six high class starters expected to furnish tests from wire to wire with all being given a. chance of coming through.

I I I

One oi the largest crowds oil the Island season is expected to be in attendance. Interest is at fever pitch among the thousands of race fans and with the track getting a thdlough going over, times chalked up are expected to be fast with horses likely to take new records. especially in the slower classes.

I I I

Entries keep pouring in for the Island interscholastic track and field meet scheduled for the new Memorial Athletic Field next Sat- urday morning and afternoon and the event now shapes up as even surpassing events of the same nature when truck and field was booming quite a few years back.

I I I

iSchools all over the Province will send in big representations with the rural athletes expected to play prominent parts in every event on the program. Then the open events, featuring the athletes who turned in such good perform- ances at. Halifax recently, will add much more interest to the pro- gram and will lend their part in making the dedication of the field to Island athletes who made the supreme sacrifice in the recent war s. very fitting one. I I I

And after months of work un- der the supervision of Director of Physical Fitness Bill Reid the big field is now rapidly nearing con- clusion. Yesterday carpenters were busily engaged ln adding the fin- ishing touches to the bleachers situated on the east side. 120 feet loog. the stands will provide add- ed comfort to the many fans who ere expected to attend the event end come next season it is ex- pected that more will be added to

them. I I I

The track will receive last min- ute attention during the next couple of days so es to make it as fast as possible‘ for both runners end bike riders and with the jumping pits now nearing com- pletion only lest minute details remain to be looked after.

DUCK SEASON

Sir, - Reading the column call- ed "Huntefs Corner" in your pap- er each Saturday and following the work of the Fish and Game As- soclaticn, one would think we are living in Germany. In the early summer a few members of tihe above Association voted to have the duck season open on Oct. 15th and recommended same to Ottawa. which was then made’ lawful by our officials. I suppose our offic- ials st the capital ere lead to think that the said Association means the gunners of our little Province but this is far from being correct. i may say it does not represent any more than five per cent of cur gunners (I mean our real gunners who know how to shoot). There- fore why should ninety-five per cent suffer and have to abide by laws which are framed by the other five per cent.

The writer of the ‘Hunters Cor- ner‘ eeys there is double the crop of black ducks this year. but still the season dces not open for a month later; he also said there is the odd shot at the ducks now. Well, those gunners might say they ere getting the ducks for a blood test. and it would save the expense cf three high paid men driving sroumi the country on such silly worir st. e great expense to our government. of which the poor man pays his dies-e. I-f a blood test of our black ducks was really wanted some of our local men could have got ducks enough fc-r that end not fired a shot. nor would there be "l? ducks left in e wounded con- dition.

I was talking recently to some city lads who cell themselves gun- ners and have places leased along the rivers for shooting. and 1 said Ihe season was opening too late for the country gunners, as the ducks generally left the country ponds by Oct. 5th.. end the reply was inede "that is whet we went." Now ere we living in s free country or under British freedom and just- ice when ninety-five per cent of our gunners who cannot afford to loin the Fish and Genie Associa- tion, or who would have to IOOIe one or two days to go to Lhe city to attend the meetings, eye ruled by the other five per cent? I really think the attitude that some of the city gunners have taken toward the country people is wrong end going to rnsks it very unpleasant when they oonie out hunting for the Huns. Al we know, after all, the farmer can only be t-rsrnped on so much. then he returns the oomp- llrnent.

I would suggest the proper way to get the opinion of the gunners of Oil‘ Province ls to the opening dtzslthieiut‘: have the school secre-

out from each gunner In that. district end bevo it for- warded Io om gum olficleie at Ottewe.

in eonoiilon I would at oix leritleenen of authority to have the duck season open this ‘ Bent. 28th.. reelixinl the condi of effeire in our Province at the present time u this would mean less meet to be bcllht for families inut cannot effimi it.

MONTREAL. Sept. 16 -(CP)_. More ihln ‘I0 hockey player-g, mgny of them local aspirants who em hope to gain little more than the exercise and experience, will report Monday to Coach Dick Irvi-n at the Opening of Montreal Cansdiens’ training season

Irvin will have to size up his veterans and newcomers end re- build where necessary. Lest season ihl-s four-in-a-row National Hockey League championship machine broke down in the Stanley Cup playoffs and lost to Toronto Maple Leafs.

All of last season's squad except Buddy O'Connor, George Allen. Leo Larnoureux and Frankie Eddoils will be on hand. O'Connor. relief centre. and Eddolls. ‘efenceman who played most of last season with Canadrens’ Buffalo farm club. have gone to New York in e deal with Rangers.

Allen, a winger, has been return- ed io his original owners Chicago Black Hawks. and wi-il likely play this season with Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League. Lamoureux. veteran defencernen, has retired.

The famous Puncxh Line and the defence regulars will all be back. Centre Elmer Lach. who suffered: fractured skull last season, is in first class shape after e summer of golf. Maurice (The Rocket) Rich- ard is a certainty for his old right wing job. but the veteran Toe Blake may find it tough going to overcome competition for the line's left-side patrol.

At least three younger players are ready to give him a battle. They are Bobby Carse. up from Cleveland: Joe Bell. who was used sparingly by New York Rangers last year. and Rip Riopeile,ssmart winger from Montreal Royals of the Quebec Senior Hockey League.

Also up from Royals and most likely among the amateurs to catch on are Doug Harvey, a rugged defenceman; Tod Csmpeau. centre. sind Floyd Curry, wingman.

Les Hickey. e right winger brought. up from Buffalo, may prove a capable relief man for Richard,

In addition to the intact punch line. other forwards again report- ing are the veteran Murrlbh Chamberlain. Billy Reel‘. L" Gravelie, Jimmy Peters. Bobby Fil- lion, Johnny Qurlty and Ken Mos- dell. ~
