Exactly when he will wed M155 Nora Speight is a secret but the oft-postponed date will coincide with the Christmas holidays and may be this week-end.

They plan a month's honey- moon. covering Woodcoclvs 26th birthday Jan. 18. before the York- mirmnan and former locomotive mechanic settles down to the next task in the climb to flstlc fame.

This chore already is cut out. Promoter Jack London has pledg- ed Woodcock a bout with big Joe Bakal, a leading American heavy- weight, for sometime in Febru- ary.

If Woodcock can subdue Baksi, he probably will be offered the chance to meet world champion Jog Louis next summer.

"If he can register a victory over the American I shall spare no effort to persuade Louis to como to England in defend his

world ttlle," said Solomons, lead- ing British promoter.

Cardinals Named Team-oi-the-year

NEW YORK. Dec. 18 —(AP)-— Eddie Dyer's Si. Louis Cardinals. who upset the heavily favored Bos- ton Red Sex to win the World Series. were named tho team-cf- the-year for 1946 today in the an-

nual Associated Press poll of sports editors. ~ In danger of being tabbed the

“flop of the year" when they trail- ed Brooklyn Dodgers by several lengths in mid-season after most "experts" had picked them (o win the flag, the Red Birds staged a game stretch drive to nose out tho Brooks in a most-season playoff.

Their World Series success was capped by Enos Slaughterfls swift dash for home while shortstop Johnny Pesky of the Sox momen- tnrily hesitated in relaying an out» flcld throw to the plate. ‘

The Cards‘ ingenuity in stop- ping Ted Williams, their spirited team play in September and October and their opportunlsrr in the series earned them the vote of participating editors and sports writers.

Although the Notre Dame foot- ball team was a close second to the Cards in the final pain‘ total, complied from the votes of the ‘i2 participants. the baseball champs earned 24 first place ballots to ‘.0 for the Irish.

Army's unbeaten mdets. team- of-the- year prize winners the last two seasons. picked up only nine first place votes and_a total of M points, The Cardinals had 110 points to 1M for Notre Dame.

Montreal Canodlens of the Na- tional Hockey League with four points and Montreal Royals of the International Baseball Hague with one point were among teams nominated.

Willie Webb, referee in the re- cent England - Wales international football game, used the silver whistle presented to him after tho 19m Scottish cup final. He keeps this one specially for: .in- ternstional and cull final limitl-

H.L. president's statement was "Just another instance of the N. I-L. and its aflillates trying to dominate the C.A.l.A." -'

Amateur circuits strove to give residents in the cities where they play the best available hockey and had no chance of doing this if professional scouts can raid teams until Jan. 15. as fifflvided at present. . °

He recommended the data be let back to Oct. 18 "or as soon as the amateur team starts its scheduled operation."

The Kitchener line accounted for all of the Boston scoring. Bauer whacked in S m1dt's rebound dur- lng the sevent minute of play aml early ln the finale, Woody Dumart backhanded in a Schmidt passout from about 40 feet out to pull the Bruins into a 2-2 deadlock.

Shortly after Bauer opened the scoring, Bryan Hextall notched a goal for tlhe Rangers by firintl int" an empty Boston cage after Phil Watson had pulled out Goalie Frankie Brlmsek with a. blistering 10-foot angle shot.

The Rangers gained a. 2-1 lead during the second minute of the middle session when defenceman Nell Colvllle rifled in e well-screen-
