New Organization Aims At Ending Jacobs’
Monopoly
(By Gayle Talbot)
‘NEW YORK. April S-(APL-For the first time in 10 years, an out- fit with real money behind it took dead aim at Mike Jacobs‘ boxing monopoly today. _ .
Tournament of Champions. Inc, composed of eight New York bust ness men with late model bank as counts, formally declared itself 'in" on the lucrative business over which Jacobs has ruled as virtue‘ iictator for a decade.
The occasion for the gauntlet- flincing was the offitiai signing of Rocky Graziano and Tony Zale icr a lb-round middleweight chair.- pionsiiip bout at Newarki-just across the Hudson Fiver-June 9.
it wasn't so much the signing that served notice on "Uncle Mike‘ that he at last faces live compet- iicn as it was the manner in which the new group spread itself. _
This was big stuff. Old-timers at the fight game grew misty-eyed at sight of the hillocks of food anc. serrled rows of bottled goods and raid it took them back to the days of the late Tex Rickard. when a signing was something to ‘be cele brated.
The fact that the new group is taking deliberate aim at Jacobs’ 20th Century Sporting Club was
tastefully disclosed several para-
graphs down in a printed state- ment of its intentions. i First. the announcement said,
all main eventers on fight cards put. on by the Tournament oi Champions will receive a share of television and radio rights.
By coincidence, the 20th Century at present is locked in {struggle with the ‘local Fight Managers‘ Guild over the latter‘: attempt to cut in on television spoils.
Second, the syndicate said that $30,000 oi the proriu of the ziiis- Grazimo bout would go to char- ity, including $10,000 to the widow of the late James J. Johnston, a long-time promoter and manager 0f fighters.
And third. the new corporation disclosed that. the winner of the Zalc-Graziano scrap-which will be their third, incidentally~had agreed to make his first. or next, defence of the middleweight crown for the Tournament of Champions in September. Zsle won their first clash. Rocky the second.

Comeback Trails Cross Tonight in . Croce-Jack Bout
. (By John D. Hamilton)
MONTREAL, April 8—(OI)-A couple of come-back trails cross here tomorrow night and it's an almost even-money gamble as to which will run into s dead end.
Johnny Greco and Beau Jack- old opponents in the fistie wars- meet in a 10-round bout at the Forum which is important to each
Greco, 24-year-old Notre Dame dc Grace bruiser and Canadian welterweight champion, hopes w overcome an in-and-out reputa- tion which has dogged him for a couple of years.
Jack, twice world's lightweight champ. wants to prove his bad knee is as good‘ as ever.
Jack drew with Greco in their first fight and won a second in Madison Square Garden. The 27- year-old Georgia Negro still was a top-line attraction at the Garden when he suffered a broken knee cap last year against Tony Janlro. Since then he has fought seven times but Greco is his toughest opponent to date.
Neither fighter’: camp will make any predictions.
"Johnny's in good shape and he'll have a six-pound weight advan- tage over the Beau." says Frankie Doyle, Green's. trainer.
"Beau is in wonderful shape and his knee is perfect," says Chick Wergeles, pint-sized manager of Jack. "My boy's last fight-what did he do? He just breaks the jaw of the other fighter.’
However, observers who saw the Juiiro-Jack fight believe that Bean's leg will receive a sharp test against the tough. aggressive local product. Should Jack win he.wi\l be aiming his sights at Ike Wil- liams’ lightweight crown. A nat- ural lightweight, he has no de- signs on the welter division. now bossed by Ray Robinson.
Greco, on the other hand. hopes
for big-time fights against top welters. I-lis camp admltsRfohnny isn't quite in the class of Sugar Ray but should Robinson step up into middleweight company. W? ill-pound bracket would be wide open. A victory tomorrow night for Greco would recover some oi the ground he has lost in two years of unpredictability. iAt one time Greco was a big attraction in New York but a series of spotty fights against Jack, Janiro, Bobby Ruflin and Tonny Pellone detoured his championship drive.

Abbles by their victory last Sat- urday proved conclusively that they are of Maritime intermediate championship calibre but whether or not they will get l, chance in the playdowns this year is not yet known.

Ray's Millionaires took a long step toward the local City Basket- ball League crown on Wednesday night when they defeated the Navy squadin the opener of. a scheduled best of three series. but despite the fact that Navy trailed by ten points at the finish supporters of this squad are still confident that the boys can come through in the next two games and snatch the title from the hands of the strong Millionaires.

Wednesday's game produced some of the closest checking of the en- tire season with the winners prov- ing more adept at the zone de- fense style of play both squads used. The encounter turned out to be a low scoring affair also, cs- peciaiiy when it is noted that both teams have sharpshootlng for- ivards. Whether or not this will change in the next game remains to be seen but it would be a safe bet to state that the “Tars" will- likely change their tactics in an effort to get back on even footing with their opponents.

Toronto Maple Leafs. evidently possessing all the fire and vim that manked their season's play, drew first blood in the stanley Cup finals at Toronto Wednesday night and“ now, particularly with the important first game tucked away they will likely become even more marked favorites than was the case previous to the series letting un- derway.

But the victory may prove a costly one. That leg fracture suf- fered by Gus Mortson will rob the Toronto team of undoubted strength and it. could be that. the injury might prove to be the tumin-g point of the series. 0d course there is d lot. of fight contained in the ranks of this year's Toronto squad and probably, as has happened so many times in the past, they will fight even harder with their ntarry young performer sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Preliminary plans vrcrc discussed with regard to various sports, and an outstanding note was the pro- gram planned for track and field meets this year.
The first meet to be held will in all probability take place at l-iali- fax, N.B.,‘ and will take the form ~oi Maritime pro-Olympic trials- Tliese trials are being staged in an effort to uncover possible Mari- time talent for the Eastern Can- ada. and Olympic trials to be held June 19th and July 9th respect- ively at Montreal.
Date o! the Maritime trial meet was set tentatively for June 12th pending confirmation. .
The next meet. of note to be staged. under the sanction of the M.A.A.U., will be the annual Mar- itime track and field championship which this year has been awarded to Fredericton, N. 13., and will be staged under the auspices of the Fredericton Panther Club on July 80th in connection with the cen- tennial celebration of the New Brunswick Capital.

It. was felt by the Union that these three meets along with pro- vincial inter-scholastic meets, the A-ntigonieh Highland Games, and Acadia Relays will give track and field athletes, old and young. a real season of competition and once more make conscientious training on their part worthwhile.
mher matters discussed by the meeting had to do with baseball. basketball, boxing and quoits Of particular note was the discussion on the Maritime quoit tourney which is being staged by Char- lottetown Quoit Club Sept. 6th (Labor Day) in connection with the invitation track and field meet. Considerable interest has been shown in Charlottetown. it was reported, over the grand old game of quoits, and Island playdowns are being arranged to determine a winner to enter the Maritime title contest and the M.A.A.U. has de- cided to do everything possible to interest teams in various Maritime centres in taking part in the tri- proyincs competition for the title and the trophy donated by Mari- time Central Airways.

5'1‘. PETER-SBURG. Fla. April ‘i -(AP)—Ci_icrley Keller is the big "if" of the champion New York Yankees as they break camp today with manager Bucky Harris ex- pecting trouble frorn Boston. Cleveland and Detroit.
"You can't belittle Cleveland," said Harris. "especially since they added Russ Christopher.
"He'll be a handy man in the bullpen. Detroit figures to have great pitching. But Bolton is the team.
"We're going to be all right. Our big ‘if’ is Keller. He has been hit- ting the ball hard since he started to play but he hasn't cut loose running yet. I want him to take his time. Until we see him run hard we won't be sure."
Keller isn't sure either. He under went a delicate operation last July i8 for the removal of a disc from the base of his spine.

Sport Echoes from Prince County
It is expected that D. 0. Stewart. President of the Summerside Base- ball Dengue will be calling a meet- ing of the league in the near fu- ture, probably on ‘Tuesday. Base- bali enthusiasts are looking for- ward to a banner year in Summer- side baseball. The fact that the
Summerside All-Stars won the fs- ,
land intermediate championship and the Summerside Kinsmen cap
tured the Island junior champion- ship last year has given a big boost to baseball in these parts. lt is ex» nected that a grandstand will ni- erected at the l-ligh School grounds and this will add to the comfort of the fans. '
The Air Pprce team which fin- ished last in the league in the i947 season is reported to be able w present a much stronger line-u: this year. one that will probably be the team to beat for the town championship. Summerside fans will be glad of this as the R. C. A. F. team though beaten last year never gave up trying and were good sports in defeat. They still have their ace pitcher, PetrMlc- kus. and if rumor is accurate he will get more help on the mound during the coming season. “Moose Carson, last year's leading hitter, will be pollng ‘em out regularly again this year, and Brawley. classy outfielder, whose sensational catches were features of last year's play, is available again.
The champion Legion nine. and the Red Sox, rimner-up in last year's struggle, are not expected to lose any of their key players, and some new recruits from the ranks of the Mounted Police will prob- ably join either one of these hail clubs. The Sox will certainly have w dis up another hurler some- where as too much of the pitching load fell on Cece Powell last year and reduced his effectiveness lfl the play-offs. "Joe" Bernard will probably be flinging them in there again for the Vets, and with him on the mound the ex-servlce ball tossers will always be hard to beat.
Charlie Hogan's junior nine should be much stronger this year if they stay together as a team. last year's experience will help the kids a lot, and all of them will be older with added weight which is an advantage in baseball as in many other competitive sports. A few of the boys may have passed the junior age but. that. would not affect their eligibility as far as playing in the Town League is concerned. If both the airmen and juniors improve, and the Leg- ion and Red Sox are as good as last year, what a grand free-for- 111 the 1943 fllht for the champ- ionship will be. -
In a few weeks now the play-offs in the Summerside Community Bowling Leagues will get under way. In the larger circuit the Trin- ity United five that are now well out in front will naturally be fav- ored to win the championship, but we Would's like to bet our last nickel on their coming through. A lot of unpredictable things happen in bowling and the Gremlins. the l-Iesrtbreakers, the Lucky Strikes. MacQuarries. St. Paul's or a dark horse might come through and grab off the bacon on the Trinity crowd. Who knows, even the Tea -no, I guess that would be a horse of another color. Never mind, all we need is a bit more practice -and an alley where the gutters are not so all-fired close to one another.
We just received a picture of the Summerside All-Stars, Island 1n- t “ te hockey champions, a gift from the club. It is a verv good picture but. Reg Bradshaw's eyes are tightly closed in the one we received. I’ts O.K. with us, however, for we remember that. Bradshaw's eyes were wide open when it mattered-most, along the rugged trail to the summit oi Is- land hockey achievement.

Nationales ' Defeat
Mary’s
To Take Series 2-0
(By Don ‘Hunt!
FORUM, Montreal, April 8 -- (CP>- Montreal's power-packed Nationales advanced to the East- ern‘ Canada Memorial Cup finals here tonight by whipping Halifax St. Mary's 6-2 in a rough junior hockey tilt before 10,000 fans.
The triumph gave the Nata the best-cl-three series in two straight games and they now will, meet Barrie Flyers here Saturday in the opener of the Eastern finals. Nationales. jumping into a 2-0 lead in the first period, found the glng comparatively easy the rest a‘ the way. After Halifax had made it 2-1 early in the middle session. the Montrealers pumped three straight goals into the St. Mary's cage in the second period and matched the Maritime ohampionl‘ one goal in the final canto.
Halifax made their bid early in the first period when they out- shot Natlonales 12-8. But most of the shots were from the blue lino and when they did get in close they missed the net.
St. Mary's passing was of! moot of the game and several times they lost the puck when right in on goalie Gaetan Deeforges.
At the other end of the rink. Ernie Yeadon played a steady game and was given better protection tonight then Tuesday night when the Montrellers won 4-2. 1n that game, the hard working, slender net custodian turned aside l2 shots but tonight he wn odllod upon to make only I eaves. Jacques Richard paced the N0- tlonales attack with a pair of goal! while Claude Dolbec, Gerard Des- aulnlers, Bernie Geoffrion and Gillie Trudell each dented tho twine once.
Red Cpnrad and Puddy R-elrdon were the St. Mary's sharpshooter;
