(By Gayle Talbot Amociated Press Sports Writer) BERLIN, March Basketball finally ha: managed to 1am its foot within lilc Olymp-

ian portals and demand a hearing

next August; bu. it isn't going to be much of a hearing, and the applicant 1| going to have to talk fast.

A pair of outdoor tcnnis courts have bren set aside by lhe Olym- pic commitiee, and on these the basketballers will be expected to prove their ca c. Tiler-c are eight fine gymnaslums on.y rt [cw hun- dred yards away, but they will be used only in tlic mcnt of rain.

As basketball is almost exclusive- ly an indoor game in Europe, as it is in North Amcrica, the sel- ection of an outdoor setting for its Olympic debut would seem on the surface, slightly dizzy W‘ there it is.

There will be thc one advantage. of course, that more spectators

. can b2 provided for than in a gymnasium, but on the other hand the Dcutschlnnd Hallo. where the boxing. wrestling and weight-lift- ing will be held, seats close to 23.-

000. There still l". the possibility that th: finals can be shifted there.

How IIllLIly colllllrzcs intend to send foams is no‘. yet known, though Olympic officials. illltiCi- pate 10 0r 12. It's grown to be quite a sport in Europe, with l6 natlons—Porl-ugnl. Stain, France,

Royals ‘ Leave For Amherst This Morning

i

Junior Royals. down five goals to Amherst. Canucks, leave this morn- ing for Amherst where tonight they meet their recent conquerors in the second and final game of the series to decide this year's Maritime cham- pions. Overwhelming favorites due

lottctown ice, Canucks are liable to run into a lot of trouble if they take tonight's game as a setup.

There is no doubt that Canucks are one of the smoothest junior teams ever developed in the Marl- times, but tonight they will face a team with all to gain and nothing to lose. Royals felt their defeat keenly and are determined to even the score. Odds are against them to take the round but to a man the locals want to win tonight's tussle and by so doing redeem themselves for the showing they made before home fans.

Good luck Royals. You are fac- ing a difficult task but not an im- possible one.

Preparations are going ahead rapidly for the coming provincial speed skating championships and as the date for the meet draws near it is easily seen that success in large measures is to attend those in charge. Almost daily entries con- tlnue to increase and every section of the Island will likely be repre- sented Friday evening next as the skaters vie for supremacy.

Confirmation that three mainland aces will be seen in action has been received. They are Harry Smytho of Moncton, cx-Olymplc champion, Herbie Balser, New Brunswick champion and Wilbur Furze, Nova Scotia titlehoider.

But while the whole meet will likely be crowded with irhrills the most thrilling one will be the one mile race bctecn the champions of the three provinces. Balser and Furze will meet our own champion Richard Lawlor. nol in any exhibi- tion event but in match race for a

,prlzc. It \vill be pace for threa- >quarters of the distance by Harry I smythe and will take place at half ‘time, following the preliminary judging of the Miss Charlottetown contest.

ball olubr),

(By Eddie Briefs, Associated Press Sparta Writer)

8'1‘. PEITRBBURG, Fla, March ‘lo-Believe it. or not Boston Bees are getting ready w climb out of the National league cellar. Man- ager Bill McKechnic made that promise today.

With a new front office deal, fresh money, a new name and a flock of new faces, National League I prospects in the hub city are thcl brightest in three years.

Together with the veteran Bob Quinn. imported from Brooklyn to lead the Bees out of the fnoncial wilderness. McKechnic is striking out on a new angle.

"We are going to develop our own men," he said, "as we go along, we'll form more minor league

nesscd at Brighton this evening. The score, which was in the Tigers and Hawks favour by five goals to one was not unexpected, as from the star: the Tflger-Hawks worked well together and definitely proved that they were superior in many ways.

From the start; of the first period the home players got well away, but flashm of brilliance by from; line men of the Wembley team some- what hampered a. few excellent shots by Brighton men. Seven min- utes from the start Klein scored Brighton-Richmond's first goal with clever stick-work, and from the following face-off looked like put- ting anolher one in. However, Mil- ford lock it. down and passed just in front o." the goal to Rout, who by all rights should have scored. but W. culn came in and relieved him of it..

Glgliotti came in fast to help his mates and fell over cargent, fortun- ately without ill effect, and without helping the score. Campbell came along in noble style and with five minutes to go put the score up to two nil.

Sargent Spectacular

Hardly had the whistle gone for a face-off in the second period when Nears got well away and witha very nice shot elevated t-he score to 3-0. Cunningham came forward and

to pass to Milford who was. how- ever, unable to do anything with the puck. Templeton then camwup and with a very vicious shot caused Sargent to duck quickly to avoid the puck which sailed aimlessly by. Cuin then came on the scene. and with an almost identical shot t0 that of Klein a few minutes pre- vlously put the fourth goal up for the Tiger-Hawks.

Glgliotti, ably assisted by the from. lino boys, here put in a force-

connections. Pretty soon we'll be bringing up fellows who'll make the; grade for us-iust like the Cardin- als."

McKechnie thinks the two win-v ier swaps with Boorklyn Dodgers strengthened the Bostons in three important departments —- pitching, catching and the infield.

The Bees sent pitchers Ed Brandt and Prod Prankhousc and outfielder Randy Moore to Brook- lyn in return for Ray Henge. Bobby Rein and Johnny Bcblcln ,“ ‘ , catcher A1 Mp0s; second sucker Tony Cucclnello and Gem Moon, a recruit outfielder.

Besides Ben , Bablch and Rois, the regular at lng hurlers will be Ben Cantwell and James Chaplin, a young right huider from Nash-

ful appearance and had it not been for tho remarkable play of Sargent, goals would certainly have been marked up. As it was he ex- celled himself during the whole of the gune and judging by his form is a firm claimant to the best goal- mindar honours.

TOWB-Nis the end of the period. Gigliotti was sent off for trippins and he finished the period in the box. Again from the start the r8- Hawka made a srmrt getaway and with a shot that left everybody gaping Klein put the puck in tho not from the centre ma, not only in the right spot but with unerring accuracy. Mcwllilams made an ut- tempt to repeat this feat for the Wombloy Ali-Star: but woe unaw-

ville, who is tho talk of the camp.

Defeats Mile Slow Race

_-_- l

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Win) NEW YORK, March 15-—1n a race that was a travesty on the stopwatch but a triumph in strat- egy. Glenn Cunningham. world record holder, whipped his two indoor rivals, Gene Venzkc and jJoe Meagan. last. night in the Columbia. mile, feature of tbe- an- nual Knights of Columbus games. It was Cunningham's first vic- tory on the Garden track this winter and his time of four min- utes. 48.8 seconds testified to the remarkable character of the race. While an overflow crowd of 16.- 000 fans clapped, booed and jcered, the three great 11111813 simply jog- ged around for nearly nine laps of the il-lap Journey on the bank- ed boards.

Cunningham refused to take his customary place in front or inn-kc the slightest attempt to set the pace. while Mancini and Venako. running one-two, merely loafed along and waited for tho Kansan to make his move.

On tho backstcetch of the ninth lap, Cunningham apurted, out- fought Venzkc for the polc posit- ion and oulra-n his two rivals throughout the last two laps. The celebrated “iron horse" having saved everything foa- such a flniah, sprinted across the finish line. , three yards in front of Venzke and. lfour yards ahead of Mangan. Eddie O'Brien, Syracuse Univer-

sity flash. followed up a brilliant victory over Chuck Hornboslel. his Indiana rival, in the 600 yard race by anchoring a victorious Orange quartet in the one mile bollego relay.

O'Brien, who beat Hornbobtel by three yards in kilo-second fast- est time in the history of the Casey "BMW-had the anchor leg all to himself as he breezed home in the relay with a 10-yard mar- gin over his St. John’; (Brooklyn) rival, with Fordham third and

for a time.

Templeton then tried to give Wemb‘ey a. leg up and nearly auc- oeedod with an excalent shot, goalie Sargent being too good. This was very quickly followed up by all members of the Wcmblcy team, who one after another made an attack on the goal, and for a full four minutes Sargent had his hands full, then suddenly it came, Wil- kinson with a very clever ‘piece of trickery slid the puck in the corner of tbc goal through a IDIOO not ex- ceeding three incheg wide, and put the first goal of the evening up for the Wembley Ail-Stars. They do- cerved it. after trying l0 hard all the evening.
