MONCTON. N.B., Dec. 2l—(CP) -—Stung by two straight defeats, Mcncton Hawks cracked a. month- long jinx by pumelling Saint John Beavers 9-2 here tonight to hand second-place Beavers their worst defeat of the Maritime Senior Hockey League season.

Hawks with 37 points now trail Beavers by 15 and lead last-place Amherst Ramblers by 28. The loss. third straiight for Beavers. just about ruined their chance to rc- galn first place from Halifax St. 1\Iary's before Christmas. In their last six starts, Beavers have done no better than two ties to drop four points behind Si. Mary's who entertain them tomorrow night.

Lou Milani got hot again after going scoreless for four games to lead Hawks to their first win since Nov. 21 ovcr Beavers on Mon-cton ice. Milani sniped three goals, his fourth hat trick of the season. to push his total to 36. Lincniate Rod McKenzie had four assists.

Both llifcncions Les Colvin and Saint John's Floyd Perras made 1'3 stops but Hawks wcre deadlier in close. Bcavcrs have been the mughcst team for Hawks all sea- sm with a 9-2-3 record against lliwks. 4-2-1 at Mcncton.

To llelain Phil Marchilcion

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 21 (AP) Philadelphia Athletics made it known today ‘they have no intention of giving up Phil Marchildon to New York Yankees if the Canadian swifty's right arm is ready for baseball duty.

Rumors were a common com- modity here when it was disclos- ed that ihe A's had summoned Phil from his home at Peneitan- guishc-nc. On-t., to have his arm examined today at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

The most prevalent acuttleibutt had it that Marchilclon would be swap. ed for the Yankees‘ Johnny Llndcl if his flipper proves dia- mend-worth,

But Connie Mack. the A's ven- erablc owner-manager, who'll cele- brate his 87th birthday tomorrow, said "thcre is no talk of trade."

“We brought Phil on from Canada." Mack said, "to find out if he is over‘ his arm trouble and worth signing for nexit year."

Art Ehlcrs. boss of the A's farm system. said that if Marchildon has overcome the miseries which has plagued him for the last two ssasons. he could he a big helip lo the club in its fighit for iihe pen- nant ncxt scason.

l-Ic will be examined by Dr. George E. Bennett, Johns Hopkins specialist who trciiicd thc Yankees’ Joc DiMaggio for his celebrated aching hccl.

Mack hintr-d there is a possibil- ity ho might use Marchildon as bait for a trade if his arm gets Dr. B:nnctt's okay. But he made it clear he would cxpcct more than Lindcll. a lukewarm hitting out- fielder for the Yanks last season.

NEWS

Holding true to pre-fight pre-

dictions. the Poulton and Liind promoiion icam came up with an- other fine boxing program at the Whelan Memorial Hall on Tucs- day night to wind up their 194i) boxing presentations and pave the

ivay to greater interest in their forthcoming programs in the New Year.

Coming up with a six-bout card. every scraip produced plenty of crowd-pleasing action and smart boxing with nary a dull bout on the ‘bill, that gave iihc large crowd of attending fans all the fast ac- (ion that anyone could hope to see in one night of boxing enter- tainment.

Penforimlng batter than this writer has every seen him before. Carl "Beau Jack" McDonald came through for a startling up- set ovcr the smooth-punching Roy "Tiger" Sieclc in one of (ihe top six-round attractions of ih- nigh‘ to score a clean-cut dccisin ovcr his adversary over thg, \\.-round route.

00o

Boxing skillfully from ihc very outset of the first round both boys puit on an excellent display of good footwork. straight punching and counter-punching ability while trying to feel one anolhcr out and take advantage of fhc first opcning that presented itself. which. although not producing very much excitement in (“no \V.'l_‘J of rugged action. gave the fans some really classy demonstrations in the ant of boxing. o c o

Popping it up round by round. the two sci-zippers broke pretty even on the exchanges up to ihe end of the fourth round. with neither giving the other much op- portunity to land any Sunday punches and showing a grcai rc- spoct for one mother's punching ability, although boih landed sting- ing rights and lrifis to the face and body frequently. - - o

The fight took a drastic change in the early part of the fifth, how- ever. when the Beau. who by that time had his man figurcd out. cx- ploded a terrific straislit lcift and righlt cross to ihe chin of Steele that landod almost simultaneously and sen-t Steele to ihc canvas on his face like hc had bccn hit with a club and had him so diazcd that he just barcly made it back to his feet at the coun-t of nine. o - .

From then on the fight develop- i ed into a rugged battle, ‘that sawi the Beau go after his man eager for a knockout that he so nearly accomplish-ed at the opening of the round. but game every inch of the way, Steele battled him pun-ch for pun-ch to finish the round even though he was defin- itely on the losing end of ihe ex-

changes.

Beau Jacik again roared back to the attack in the final round to tag Steele with solid right and left hands and again came closc to sending him to the floor and continually had him in trouble, but Steele just wouldn't go down and continued to fight back vici- ously at times to gcrt in some solid blows of his own and stay right in there pitching (o the final bcll regardless of the punishmcnt Bc-au Jack was handing out in an effort to score a knockout. I O l

Two challenges wcre made and accepted during the Tuesday night program. and if and when thcy take place should produce n cou- ple of whirlwind bouts for the

near future. ¢

The first was made by Louis Lafforty, a local middle-weight who is fast becoming one of the top-notch performers in that division in island fight circles. who issued the challenge ho Johnny O'Connor. another rczlly popular and classy middleweight. Both boys appeared on last night's card. the former taking a six-round de- cision rxvor Johnny Rusell and the latter earning a decision over Emmett Gallant in another six- round go.

O O

The other challenge was made by Bud Ramsay of Aliberton. and accepted by Buddy Lund of this city. present holder of the Island lightweight title. which is to be a scheduled title match. Ramsay. one of the most potent scrappers from the Western part of the Pro- vince. fought to a draw decision against Lund a few weeks ago at Anliberton. but suffered s threw rouqd knockout by Tiger Steele at Summerside last Saturday night.

“Games" Team

VANCOUVER, Dec. 2i - (GP)- It will be Christmas at sea. for the first contingent of Canada's ace

The 20-day voyage to Auckland, where the games open Feb. 4, will be aboard the motor ship Aorangi and there will be a plentfiui sup- ply of yuletide fare.

And, o Mr. Christmas - George to the crew _ is looking after the larder with its turkey and Ye Old English plum pudding.

The first group. 30 athletes and six officials, headed by Ma]. Jack Davies of Montreal, general man- ager of the team, will sail at 1D AM. EST/tomorrow. The sec- 0nd group will fly from here Jan. 1'7.

Bags and trucks were put abrird the Aorangi today as the ship's crew prepared for the ar- rival of the team members.

One thing will be short. - mon- ey. Financcs are pretty slim, says Ma_i. Davies.

"Right now we're doing the trip on a shoestring and its pretty threadbare at that," he said. “British Columbia has gone ovcr the top in the campaign for funds. but the rest of Canada is away down."

British Columbia's quota was $l(l,0'c‘0. This was raised along with an extra $500. and an additional $500 may be added.

in colorful, new red flannel blazers, the Canadians will he in good hands aboard the Aorangi.

Catering to their wants will be Mr. Christmas, who reigns in the galley. and Mrs. Moisie Turner. chief stewardess, who will see that the girl's don't get too homesick.

"I know how they feel." said Mrs. Turner. I haven't had a Christmas at home for ages and now I'll miss another."

Both Mrs, Turner and Mr. Christmas have looked after Can- adian "kids" before. They were aboard the steamship Niagara in i938 when Canada's team went to Australia.

Mr. Christmas is ready for the "kids" who he is sure will ask "How's Mary."

“I really haven't got o daugh- tcr named Mary. no matter whﬂt the boys say," he told a reporter:
