NEW YORK. June 13 - (AP)- Rain caused postponement of the Joe Louis-Lee Savold "battle of the aged" until tomorrow night at the Polo Grounds after both heavy- weights weighed in.

The weatherman had an optim- istic "clearing tomorrow afternoon" forecast despite the showers.

What effect the 24-hour post- ponement will have on the gate is a guess. The International Boxing Club still hopes a last-minute rush will put the fight over. It's report- ed more than 525.000 is in the till. Maybe they'll do 375,000 with a sunny break.

As for the fighters. the only thing certain is each will be one day old- er. When you're 37. like Louis, or 35. like Savold. that's no gag - es- pecially with l5 rounds to go.

Louis. dead serious about his am- bitions to become the first heavy- weight champion to recapture the title, wants to win this one and go on to a September date with cham- pion Ezzard Charles.

The odds favoring Louis still hold at about 3-to-1 and about even money on R Louis knockout.

Louis came in a bit. heavier than expected at 2ll'.. He was down to 2081. for Omelio Agramonte at De-

' troit May 2. But it's below the bulg-

ing 218 he weighed last September when he lost the title to Charles.

Weight isn't the all-important factor with Joe. Its the old re- flexes - or lack of them.

According l0 HZUNS c0"l5l"e3 in the financial report of the Is-

landers Hockey Club. Sllbmll-led at the annual meeting held on Tuesday night. the average atten- dance at the Charlottetown Forum per game. over a total of 50 games played, was 1.765 dur- ing last season. Some interesting points brought out by those figures showed that in regular Big Four competition Halifax was the big drawing card here with an average attendance of l.79l per game while Saint John Beav-

At Cincinnati, the Giants led 2-0 until the sixth when the Reds tied the score with the aid of s miscue by Bob Thomson. Ted Kluszowuki sin-glad with the bases loaded to tie the count and drive Montie Kennedy from the mound.

The Giants won out in the eighth on a single by Don Mueller, error by Stalloup. single by Wes Wectrum, walk and mircue by Ryan. Ewell Blackwell was the victim.

Sport Echoes from Prince county

The Summerside Town League has come back to us .again..The first game, played between the R.C.A.F. and the Cumin and Briggs Junions was a crowd pleas- er all the way and should help to keep the cash customers com- ing back for more. The Junior team has a lot of inexperienced boys on the roster. but those

un-gsters will undoubtedly im- prove with experience, and we should in a few years have I junior team here that will give all junior aggregation-s in the Maritiines an argument for hon- etc. As things stand now, either Ashe, the new all-tome flinger, is exceptionally good. or the junior: have a lot of weaklings with the willow in their line-up. Ashe struck out fourteen in eight innings, which is almost an over- age of two per frame. The boys did not get anything that looked like a solid smash off Ashe, two Texas leaguens being the sum to- tal of their successful efforts with the blud-geon. The airmen were no "murderer-s' row" themselves, how- ever, showing little of the attack- ing power they displayed against Shearwater and Harmon. At least half of their seven bingies against the C. and B. pitchers were of I scratchy variety.

And now the word is that Bob Schurman will be calling the signals to Joe Bernard again this summer. Bob announced his re- tirement and said he wouldyget all the exercise he needed out of golf. But the call of the diamond was too strong and Bob will be strapping on the old chest. pro- tecloc once again. when the base- ba-ll bug bites you. the poison stays in your blood for keeps. As I. player, or as a fan, you just can't say "good-bye" to the grand old game. J. K. Curran decided to cut himself adrift from base- ball, .but the Chief couldn't stay away from the smack of wood against horsehide. He'll in there rooting as hard as ever for his boys.

Kensington plans to enter the second section of the Summerside Town League. They have picked up Pony Daley. (another of those ”rei.ii-ed" bozos), Ray Arsenault, one time ace pitcher of the town. but that was long, long ago. and Gordie Maelfay. They have some

promising young players that should show a lot of improve- ment with good coaching, and

they might do all right in com- petition with the R.C.A.F. and the two Summenside items. We hope they ''do anyway.

The next game on the High School diamond will be between the two town rivals, the C. and B. Juniors and Holman's. l-loltman's are reported to be short of play- ers. but we predict more of the old timers will flock back to the colors before many games are played. Cecil Powe-ll, Syl Bernard and Bill Allen will probably fol- low the lead of Bob Schui-man and get back into harness.

RuggedlWrestliing Bouts? At Forum Last Night

Ivan R-Input-in "The Hunisn Bear" and Tiny Mills of Great Falls. Montana, were the two win- ning grspplen in a rousing two- bout end at the Forum last night before a crowd of 670- wrestling fans who really got their fill of

ruued action. Rasputin took the tint and third falls from Len "Cowboy"

I-Iuuhu in I rough and ready con- test that went all but two min- ute; of the sixty-minute time lim- it, both ending up outside the ropes among the crowd at. the fin- sis '

In the first bout. giantlike Tiny Mills defeated Guy Laltose of Montreal in another hard-hitting contest. Mills taking the first fall. Lallose the second and Milli again in the third. Tile two grapplar! took 49 minutes and 20 seconds of torrid action.

Coming out in the first event, Mills sent his 260 pound: of power into action right from the start to crowd Lamise. 230, right through the ropes with a series of elbow blows to the chest. Getting back into the ring. Laltose was nearly pinned twice by Mills in the early stages with arm and leg-lock holds, but each time the Montreal- er broke loose to body-block his opponent all over the ring. Mills finally took the first fall with I boby-slam after 17 minutes and 45 seconds of action.

Getting the sympathy of the crowd as the result of rough tactics by Mills. Guy l'..aRose really went to work on his opponent in the second fall. to take the verdict af- ter some fast going when both boys meted out plenty of punish- ment from the prone and upright positions. Lanose pinned his man after a series of body-slams and a flying kick to Mills' chin at nos.

Mills rallied again in the final fall in hand out some terrific pun- ishment. hitting LaRose with everything but the ring-posts and winning the bout when referee Fred Hayter of Halifax counted LaRose out when he claimed that Mills was using s strangle-hold.

Get Outside Ring

The second bout was a rousing affair. particularly the third fall when both grapplers got at it ham- mer and tongs outside the ring among the spectators Doing more grappling on the mat than the first two contestants. the fans had no delusions why Rasputin is called "The Russian Bear." Built like a beer-barrel covered with hair and iv. two-inch beard. the 240-pound muscle-man really got the crowd against him right from the start when he used every- thing not in the book against Len Hughes. Using a back-breaking liearhug frequently, Rasputin had the Cowboy in trouble 3 good part of the first fall but the latter pull- ed some smart wrestling to give the "Bear" his ,rugged moments, and both landed outside the ropes during the first fall. Rasrputin took the fall at 29.09 by pinning Hughes that started in a hear-hug that bore him right to the canvas.

Hughes really opened up in the second fall after weathering some rough tactics by his opponent. Breaking another beai-hug by Rasputin with a series of elbow- jabs to the face. Hughes tied the Russian Bear up in knots with a series of arm and leg holds that saw him flip his opponent all over the ring and to finally finish it off with a reverse full-nelson. Hughes applied the hold after re- ceiving about three flying-mares from his adversary, pinning Ru- putin like a flash. The fall came at 46.39.

putln really started the action rolling in the final fall when he went after Hughes before the bell

Hughes wen; after his man to put him through the ropes with a crash. only to land outside himself a. few minutes later, and from there it was fast and furious.
