and beat Sawchuk with a short 10-loot slap shot. McNeil missed his second shut-

out in as many games when Prysftai shoved the puck across from the wild scramble and pile-up just outside the crease. The goal came at 5:11 and inspired the Red Wings to keep driving, with little Tony Leswick giving McNeil his closest calls.

"The six weeks absence from the sports beat, during which time we

followed the procedures in the Provincial Legislature, ended on Monday A few hours before Earl Walls startled the sports world with his ilrst round knockout of Tommy Harrison in Toronto. For Walls it was quick revenge over the clever American nghter who badly outpointed the Canadian slugger in a bout earlier this year. In their first meeting Harrison gave Walls a solid beating. dump- ed him to the canvas twice and had him on the way to direamland on A. couple of occasions. At the time it was felt that Walls was over-matched but maybe it was a case of Walls being over-confident. . . .

Walls’ fights seem to follow A certain pattern. Either he gets his man early or he doeon‘t get him. But looking at him from another angle he is beginning to weave a pattern somewhat. similar to ‘the one made by Joe Louis. On I number of occasions even in his hey-day Joe had. trouble with some men in their first light but on the second meeting Louis rare- ly allowed the battle to proceed beyond the second round. Walls isn't another Louis by at long-shot. yet. but evidently he has more punching power than nearly all of the heavyweights in the game to- day.

His dramatic win over Harrison places him in the limelight and makes him one of the leading contenders. He is now set for an elimination tournament for the right to meet the winner of the Marciano-Charles flllhi and lhe” is even some talk that he might get I shot at the winner without hlving to prove himself Any fur- ther. His explosive punching power has certainly renewed Canadian interest in the heavyweight fllllllv picture. From here on in his every fight will be watched with the keenest interest by his Canadian followers.

The future also looked bright for another Canadian fighter last week. He was Harry MaeLeaii, the 22-year-old lightheavyweight from Bathurst, New Brunswick, who was killed in the Moose Jaw Plane disaster last Thursday. Harry. W110 was flying west to 1181“ D0“? Hm“ per for the Canadian lightheavy title, felt he was on his way to international fame in the ring. He had. fought and defeated quite I number of fighters And Accordini to Don TrAlnor of Chs/rlottetown felt confident he could beat Har-

per.

Tralnor. Ilthoush hf WI! 01111-9 I bit lighter than MacLeAn fought the New Brunswick fighter in Ba- thurst a couple of weeks ago. Mac- Lean won the fight on A knockout- Afterwards Trainor predicted that the Maritime boy would do well against Harper. Don claimed that MacLean was A tremendously hard punclier. MacLean's place in the ring will be taken by Charlotte- tovln's Cobey Mccioskey who has been fighting in New York this winter with notable success.

Mcclosirey will attempt to ac- compilsh what Yvon Durelle twice failed to do. That 15. boat Harper in R. Calgary ring. Harper decis- ioned Durelle in Calgary to win the crown and later the two men fought. to A draw. Mocloskey will have his work cut out when he cllmbs inside the ropes for the fight but judging by the way in which he has fought down in New York this winter he will giye the Western champion As hard it fight as he has had for some time.

The Yankees. champions five yeare in a row, bowed to the Wash- ington Senators 5-3 in a 10-inning tussle at Griffith Stadium.

Game of Homer;

A 425-foot, home run by Willie Mays gave New York Giants A 4-3 victory over Brooklyn Dodgers, defending National League cham- plons.

Roy Campanella. veteran Brook- lyn catcher. hit two homers in his first two plate appearances, both with none on.
