VICTORIA (CPI-Another storm h coming in from the Pacific ocean and indications Thursday were that Janice White of Toronto will have to further postpone or cancel altogether her swim across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Canadiens Eliminate B To Advance Against

(By W. R. Wheatley, Canadian Press Staff Writer) MONTREAL, (CP)-Montreal Canadiens, with Jac- kie Leclair leading the way with two goals, swept aside Boston Bruins 5-1 Thursday night and finished off their lstanley Cup semi-final four games to one over the Boston- ans.

'0 Canadiens go into the final against Detroit Red Wings

with the first two games of the best-of-seven series in Detroit next Sunday and Tuesday.

It was Canadlens' fifth consec- utive entry into the final. a mark bettering their own record of four set last season.

Canadiens won handily Thurs- day night over the Bruins. hit hard by injuries for this game, and in the final period the Boston- ians were disorganized and showed little spirit.

Canadiens ran up a 4-0 lead about midway through the second period and from there on had the game in the .bag.

In addition to Leclair's two tal- lies. Dickie Moore. Floyd Curry and Jean Beliveau scored for

Sport Forum

Sir, - In Manchester. on Sept. 5, .1910. Bill MacKinnon of Rox- bury, Mass., was declared the winner of a hard-fought 15-round- er with New York's Frankie Mantlll. Mac-Kinnon did practically all his boxing in Yankee rings. but was a native of Mount Stew- art, P.E.I. He left the province around the turn of the century. and after doing so, began boxing as an amateur. winning several New England titles. After three years in this calibre he entered the "punch for pay" ranks and fought with success in such box- ing centers as New York, Saint Paul and Toronto. Although he never held a world title, he'had the distinction of having fought seven univcrsial champs. This only titles of any kind that he held were the New England mid- dleweight and light heavyweight.

It is estimated that Mac1(innon battled in over 200 ring events. with his defeats few and for be- tween. Among the all-time greats that Macliinnon fought were in- cluded such ring personalities as

.lack "Twin" Sullivan. Joe Wal- cott. Jack Dillon. Frank lxlaus. Harry Lewis. Eddie McGoorty.

Battling Leviiisky. Roddy lilac- 1)onald. Tom Sullivan. Mike Gib- bons. Joe Thomas and .lack Bonner.

Danny Maccormack is another Island boy that made good in the regulation squared circle shortly. bctore World War 11. Danny was: a southpaw and is best remem- bered by lncal fans for his slug- ging duels with Benny Binns. Tom Claybourne. Leo Kelly. Kid Nick- erson and Johnny Shaw.

There is a fight yarn presently making the rounds concerning a certain manager who was trying to build up his boy by matching him against interior opponents. The story has it. that one day while he was frantically trying to get a suitable opponent for his leather-swinger, a match -maker told him about a certain boxer that he thought would fill the manager's requirements nicely. So. the boss went to work and sent a telegram to his promoter. which read: ”Dig up Slugger Jackson. if located. offer him guarantee to fight my boy next month.” Several days later the manager received his reply. uhlch read: "Located Slugger Jackson. Will dig him up if you pay expenses. He's in a ceme- tery. Been dead two years."

Hockeyist Hap Day still remem- hers the first time Ace Bailey visited Boston as a member of the Leafs team. At that time Sprague Cleghorn was the tough man of the Bruins and during the game'Balley kept asking. ”Who's this Sprague Sleghorn?” Al in would happen. a squabble occurred over a goal and during the fray Bailey pushed in to say his penny's worth. Before he could finish. he was floored by a punch that seemed to come from nowhere. After Ace revived. one
