bus courts while the Provlnclll Junior and Interscholastic tour- neys will take place at the Char- lottetown Tennis Club courts.

The two Junior tourneys will both be run off in two divisions. one group of 18 years and under and the other 15 years and under in both boys and girls groups.

Chance For Dominion Finals

"We are receiving everyi assist- ance and co-operation from the Canadian Lawn Tennis Associa- tion." Jimmy stated last night, "and the program will offer 3 great opportunity for the junior players of this City and Province. The Association has offered to sponsor the Provincial winners in both the girls and boys divisions to compete at the Dominion Jun- ior tennis finuls to be held at Ottawa the latter part of Aug- ust. That." said Jimmy, "should be something worth trying for." The top players for Dominion competition will be chosen from the 18-year and under group.

Outlining the summer's activi- ties. Mr. Palmer stated, "This is only the beginning of what we hope will develop into a full- scale Provincial junior player de- velopment effort. Although we are pretty well limited to con- centrating on players in the City this year, plans are already being laid to hold three district tour- naments next year. one at Sum- merside, Montague and Char- lottetown with the district win- ners meeting latcr in Provincial competition." He said that the programs in the other Provinces of the Dominion have met with good progress and results during the past year or two. "Last year." Jimmy stated. "Nova Scotia had a large representation at the Do- minion finals und two of their junior men players were ranked in the top ten, while a Springhlll girl won the Dominion title in the 15-years and under age group. If we can even produce one or two leading junior prospects in the next two or three years it will be well worth the effort, Jimmy stated.

Mr. Hughes. another prominent racket wieider in local circles. who will carry out the coaching duties, will be available every Saturday morning at the Char- lottetown Club courts to assist and instruct any youngsters who wish to improve their game, free of charge. Plans for indoor tennis during the winter months, which will come under the guidance of Ted Strain, is designed to give the most promising junior players added instruction. Under the pre- sent plan. it is hoped that the Charlottetown Armouries will be made available once a week dur- ing the winter for that purpose.

Special movies on Davis Cup Matches and instructional films by Jack Kramer and Bill Tilden are also being planned to be shown as part of the summer's development program.

Hockey Club going to waste any time in getting their plans rolling for the 1951-52 season. At n special meeting of the execu- tive last evening, it was decided to launch their holding-seat drive

for the forthcoming season next week. Commencing on Tuesday. the seating plan will go on sale at the Market Building for those wishing to purchase their holding seats for the year. 0 I I O

The sale of seats will be oper- ated on a democratic plan, too. All those who supported the Club last season by procuring holding seats will have the first oppor- tunity to retain those seals for next winter's games or exchange them for other seats that mlgitt be more desirable under the new seating arrangement at the Forum. The plan will be open from six to nine o'clock four nlghts in a row. Tuesday. Wed- nesday. Thursday and Friday. . o s e

The Tuesday sale will be lim- lied to those who held holding seats last year and wish to re- tain those same seats for next season, while on Wednesday the sale will be reserved for those ticket holders of last year who wish to make exchange for other seats. Among the ticket holders themselves on Wednesday. it will be a case of "first come-first served." Thursday and Friday will be reserved for those who did not have holding seats last. year but wish to procure them for the coming hockey season.

I O C 0

To speed up the sale of the tickets. club officials stated last night that they would appreciate it very much if those who held seats last year would bring their cards along with them when they purchase their new seats. They realize that many may have lost or discarded them, but if they still have them in their pos- session, it will save a lot of time and effort for all concerned. Otherwise records will have to be checked to verify the pur- chaser's right to acquire new tlc-- kets in the Tuesday and Wed- nesday sale as a former holding- seat owner. I I 0

So Ezzard "the Cobra" Char- les is still the numlber one heavy- weight boxing champion of the world. He defended his title suc- cessfully for the eighth time when he scored a unanimous decision over Joey Maxim, the challenger and world's light-hearvyweight champ at Chicago on Wednesday night. was a championship fight but a far cry from - the calibre of a few years back when such men as Joe Louis. Max Schmoling. Dempsey and men of his era were in their prime.

9 I C

We have listened to many heavyweight title scra-ps in the past, but Wednesday night is the first time we can recall ever finding it difficult to keep awake long enough to find out what the final decision would be. If tha' is the best that can be expected from the present crop of heavy- weights, then bring on the light- wcighlts. weltei-weights and mid- dieweights. Fans like action and it was certainly in the minus quantity at Chicago Stadium on Wednesday night.

. .

There is no doubt that the contest had its bright spots in the way of scientific ring manoeuverirug and stylish boxing, but when the two leading heavy- weights of the game start swap- ping punches for fifteen rounds and nobody even gets rocked back on his heels-there is still hope for the Brown Bomber 1'61. if he can regain I Little of the old fire- power in his mitts. Heavyweights without any punch, which is quite apparent in the case of either Charles or Maxim, should be fair game for any husky youngster who packs I wallop and has enough rln-g savvy with it to make the right opening to get, it in there. . U 0 0

When one looks bad on the not-too-distant out when Joe Louis himself defended his title 5 times and was bowling 'em over like five-pins. and one never know whether the big blow was coming in the first round or the mob. heavyweight title scraps had real interest and intrigue for fight followers. Now it is getting to be I one of "who is breathing heav- ieet It the end of 15 rounds." in the eight defences of his crown. "Phe Cobra" hasn't sent any of them down via the KO. routs.

Brooklyn In 4-3 Win Over Philadelphia

BROOKLYN. May 31 - (AP) - Carl Erskinels steady relief pitching helped Brooklyn top Philadelphia tonight 4-3 in a game marred by a run-in between Russ Meyer and Jackie Robin- son.

Robinson scored the run that proved decisive when Meyer dropped a throw on a run down play in the eighth. Jackie was trapped off third as Carl Furilio missed a squeeze bunt. As Rob- inson dashed home, Meyer drop- ped the throw but blocked off the plate. There was a brief flare-up at the plate.

Robinson's run gave the Dod- gers a 4-2 lead but the Phils came back with one in the ninth on three singla.- Gran Hamper bit into a game-ending double play.

Would like To Match Maxim And Cockell

LONDON, May 31 .. (A13) .. Promoter J-ack Solomons said to- day he would like to stage a title bout between light heavyweight champion Joey Maxim and Brit- ish champion Don Cookell in London this autumn.

''I am going to open negotiations immediately with manager Jack Kearns and Maxim." said soi- omons. "Maxim is under con- tract to me and as he has failed to win the heavyweight champ- ionship I know he will be ready to come over here and meet Coc- kell. I cannot say when the fight will take place but i am sure it will be sometime this year, prob- ably in August."

Maxim. who was given I good beating by heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles in Chicago last night. won the 1'75-pound title by knocking out Freddie Mills in the tenth round in London, Jan. 34, 1950. The bout was promoted by Solomons.

Williams' Showing Silencesgiiics

By Joe Relchler

NEW YORK. May 31 -(AP) - May was a sad month -for the I- l-late-Ted Williams Club. so thor- oughiy were Williams' critics sil- enced they didn't attempt to trade him once.

The reason is obvious. How can you knock a guy who hits like a field, fields like a demon, throws like a sharpshooter and runs like a deer?

Not even Williams bitterest at- tackers ever denied that Ted can't hit. But they claim he isn't much of a fielder. his arm is only ordinary and that he is not a team player.

Recently. in an interview. Ty Cobb said Williams could never be rated with the greatest batters because the southpaw slugger cannot. or will not. hit. to left.

so Williams turned on as bril- liant an all-round performance as has been witnessed in years.

Besides hitting over the .500 mark. ha paced Boston Red Sox to 10 straight victories by hitting to all fields including left; throwing out over-ambitious base runners: runing the bases like Cobb used to.

Take his last 10 games.

At but 33 times. he walloped four homers, one triple. nine doubles and eight singles. He walked 1: times. He scored 15 runs and drove in 22. Eight of his hits were to left.

That batting mark is .537.

After I poor start. his season average is .321. And he leads the league with 11 homers and 42 RBYI.

In the field he accepted 23 chances without an error and sev- eral were spectacular. He threw out one Washington runner and played carom drives off Fenwsy Park's walls like I billiard player.

MARYVUILI. 'fisnn., May 31 - (AP) - Paul Harrison. la-year-old left-hand pitcher. was signed to- day to I New York Giants con- tract. Harrison. star pitcher on the Townsend High School team. will be assigned to the Knoxville club of the class B tri-state league

Sugar Ray is After-Dinner Speech Jill

PARIS. May 31 -(AP) -Sugar Ray Robinson. who already has vanquished the French, wowed I roomful of fellow Americans today with an after-dinner speech deal-

ing with the Demon Runyon Cancer Fund. The odds were against him.

Americans in Paris generally tend to nod after a heavy lunch. wash- ed down with wine.

some or the top members of the American community turned up for the luncheon. Among them was Philip Bonsai. minisl.er-con- selior of the U. S. Embassy.

Besides the Americans. there were Georges Carpentier. the once- great French boxer, and the one- time champion tennis player. Rene La Costa.

After Robinson's speech. which dealt mainly with his fighting career and his financial successes. the guests gave him a standing ovation.

Deny Report St. Louis Browns Club Sold

- NEW YORK. May 31 -(AP) - Jimmy Cannon of the New York Post said today St. Louis Browns have been sold to a syndicate headed by Bill Veeck. former part-owner of Cleveland Indians.

Browns' president Bill Dewitt said "there's no truth to it what- ever."

President will l-la:-ridge of the American League and other offlo- iais could not be reached for com- ment. i

Cannon said the deal was com- pleted last week and that it in- cluded the Browns' San Antonio Texas League farm club. He add- ed that the Veeck group intends to keep the club in St. Louis.

Reports have come up from time to time in recent years that the Browns. who have not been drawing well in St. Louis. would be sold or transferred. Dewitt. however. always has denied the stories.

The latest previous rumor con- cerning the club had it being moved to Milwaukee, and 1.1.; American Association franchise in that city being shifted elsewhere.
