Major "Rogers Resigns

iT0 Accept

At last night's inoeting of the executive of the Islanders Hockey Club the resignation of the vice- preoident. Milo: 'r. 3. Rogers, was received with deep regret. Rtjcmlll Mylo: Rogers was ap- pgiiited a director of the Maritime

IJ0I' Hockey League, and under the league's constitution he is not permitted to serve on the executive of one of the franchise- iioldirsg clubs.

His letter of resignation. ad- dressed to the club president. Dr. Dougan, read as "follows:

"Due to the executive position 1' hold in the Maritime Major Hoc- key League I am forced to resign

my position on your executive.

Yours very truly, T. B. Rogers."

Present at last night's meeting were Dr. F. C. Dougan. Dr. L. E. Prowse, Dr. E. S. Giddings, Mr. Somerled Trainor, Mr. Arthur Clark, Mr. William Boyle and Ralph Manning, club auditor.

"Bill" Michaels, a generous con- tributor to the club last season, has been added to the executive. ”Bill", without publicity, helped the Islanders Club on more than one occasion last year. and his long business experience is ex- pccled to be of considerable help to the organization.

The executive is already pre- parinc to sign contracts for the cnmim: season. and has some out- standing new players on its negotiation list.

It is believed that when train- ing starts in October the club will be stronger, faster, better balanced than in 1950. No chances are hcing passed up. according to Dr. Doug.-in to sign the best avail- able talent.

Rugged Battle Expected

In Tonightls

Those fmir wild men 0: the grap- pling game, Currie. Montana. Hughes and Balbo will all be at it again at the Forum tonight when 1hey team up in a. return engage- ment "Tag Match” that is slated to get underway at 8:30.

Rlled up over a third-fall de- rision that lost them a. rousing match here two weeks ago to the two ”Bulls." Montana. and Currie. the team of Lon Hughes and Sal Ealbo are back seeking revenge here tonight. The match has taken on all the proportions of a ”grudge" affair that is liable to bring forth just about everything that can happen in the wrestling game.

In fact. so much fire works is anticipated that the Forum man- agement has enlisted the services of Islanders hock'cy coach, Leo ”'r'he Lion" Lamoureaux to assist Bill I-Ia.vl.er of Halifax with the refereeing. ,

l-layter had more than he could handle two weeks ago when all four matmen decided to skip rules and ring formalities to all get in- to the ring at the one time. The result was next to mass mayhem,

Tag Match

and before it was over all four wrestlers, plus I-layter, were out- side the ring where hostilities were finally brought under control. The outbreak. however, bought a decision in favour of Montana and Currie that by no means met with the approval of, Hughes and Balbo, who after losing the first fall came back with a whirlwind performance to win the second and were well on their way to Victory in the third when the biz bustuo

came that lost them the' fall. Hence the reason for tonights rc- match.

To add to the glitter of tonight's card, two single-fall matches of thirty-minute duration will brinz together Currie and Balbo in one. and Montana and Huahea in 1119 other, that should round off a good program of fast and rugged wrestling entertainment.

THE GUARDIAN. CHARIDTTETOWN

JULY 24, 1951

"This is my big chance" were the words used by Harry "Kid" Poul- ton yesterday when asked how he felt about meeting Tommy (Gun) Spencer of New Waterford here at the Forum in a Maritime Welter- weight title fixture just one week from tonight. He wasn't necessarily referring to that particular bout. however. but looking ahead a little farther than that.

O D I

After losing his Maritime welter crown to Spencer at New Glasgow

looking forward to the return title bout for two good reasons. One is that he wants to regain his title from Spencer, and the other is a crack at Canadian Welter tltlelist, Johnny Green of Montreal. The latter is what he terms his 'iblg chance." Green is coming to the Mlaritlmes shortly to meet Yvon Dureile of Bale Ste. Anne, N. 3, present Maritime middleweight who recently lifted the title from Cobey Mccloskey of this City. and there is a good possibility that the winner of the Forum bout here on Tuesday will also get a bout with Greco. O O O

The classy Island welterweight doesn't seem particularly perturbed about meeting Spencer again, be- cause this will be his third and rubber match with the New Water- ford boxer in the past month, all- though he has a healthy respect for the present Maritime title hold- er. "He never stops punching" Harry stated. and is a rugged in- fighter and body puncher and has a beautiful, hard left hook that can put you in trouble if it lands. I beat him the first time and only lost a close decision in the last fisht. so I don't see any reason why I can't take back my title," Harry stated. "I'm looking forward to the match with Spencer", concluded the former champ, "beacuse I really want to get in crack no, Greco.”

. . .

For some reason or mother, some fans in this quarter seem to think that Poulton during the past few months has been sort of hand-

picking his opponents to suit his own requirements, and just where that idea was born is kind of hard to figure out because the local boxer has always been ready and Willing to take on all camera in the weller division in the Mari- times and has met and beaten nractically all of them at least once. Take the man he has just lost his crown to. Spencer has met a lot of top notchers including such well-known artists as George 'tRockaby" hose. Gua (Pei) Mell and Joe Pyle and if not mistaken was in the ring with Green too. a few years back. There is no hand- picklng there and now he is willing to get in with Green if he can, so for this column's money we say "more power to you Harry." 0 I

Ever since his recent bout with Spencer. Poulton has been train- ing religiously with daily workouts and is in tip-top shape and flgurgg he will be in the best condition he has ever been in his career when next week's bout rolls around. Judging from the calibre of the two boxers and the even content; they have had in their last meetings, the bout should promise local boxing fans one of the best ring treats seen here in a long while. A six- round semi-final and another spec- ial six-rounder, plus two four. round preliminaries will lupport the main event which should round off a full eveni g of action and Hood boxing an eriainment. Names of those in the supporting bouls will be released shortly by promoter nill Brown. I O I

Every once in a while during 'he

- Alan Stewart pitched one of the best games of the 1951 season last night as l-Iolma.n's defeated the R. C. A.1". 8 to 2 to 'ncrease their league lead and shove the Airmen further Into the cellar. Stewart was two cuts from a no- hitter when st. John, hitting the ball in front of the platc threw his bat in the same territory and the ball. colliding with the hick- ory eluded the hands of Stewart who had rushed in to make the throw to first. The plate umpire ruled the battcr was safe on first and St. Johns hit broke the long string of goose eggs. Embrett, pinch-hitting for De5Rochel hit a double to centre scoring at. John. Max went to third on a pused ball and home on a wild pitch. The Holman team hit Monroe. young southpaw fairly hard in the three innings he worked but Ashe, reli ving' with none out in the fourh let the town aggregation down without a hit in four frames. Maurice Cannon, midget player, pressed into service because of the shortage of manpower in the Holman dugout gave a fine performance at first base and hit one for two. Stewart "stole the show" from the hitters and won the evening's Victory Cleaner Award.

In American League

Anchors And Itars

Clash Tonight

The West End Anchors and the But lend Stars 'will be bat- tllng it out here this evening at Memorial Field at 0.30 for a sec.- ond place tie with Falcons in the City Baseball League standing.

Tied in third place at the mo- ment with three wins each, al- though Store have a lower win average with one game in hand over Anchors. it should be a

. clash that will develop into an

all-out battle for that extra jump up the league ladder, that will bring one or the other within one game of reaching the leading Northeast Rovers.

Since the second section of the schedule opened last week. all four teams have been making it a very close race for league lion- ors and every game is a vital one from here to the end of the eel- son.

in their last meeting, on July 12th, Stars walloped the Anchors 8-0, and even though they need such a win again tonight to keep up with the rest of the field, Anchors can be depended upon to come out atr ng and will not be taking any once: of another such blanking.
