Popularity of night racing here was proven conclusively on Tues- day night when a big sized crowd of fans braved chilly weather to watch the opening meet of the season. And the fans were not dis- appointed at what they saw at the magnificent, racing plant.

As is usually the case with all Island racing programs, finishes Tuesday were of the kind that brought the fans to their feet in mad excitement as the troiters and pacers battled It out right to the wire, a matter which showed how expertly the horses had been classified in the different events.

It was the type of racing that will bring many more fans out to succeeding programs and fromhe:e to the end of the season, with the usual day racing programs already lined up for the various Island tracks, it appears that followers of the “sport of kings" will have their busiest season ever as they follow the cream of Island standard bred horses in action.

Fight fans will have to wait at least another night to find out the winner of the Joe Louis-Joe Wal- cott heavyweight scrap. Rain which came down in torrents yesterday forced a one-day cancellation and probabilities in New York last night predicted more rain for to- day. The postponement however will not detract one bit from the interest which has been shown in the scrap ever since the two box- ers were re-matched.

Interest is particularly keen loc- ally. Not since the halycon days og Jack Dempsey has so much fight talk been going the rounds here and last night debates upon the outcome were still raging fur- iously amoug the followers of the cauliflower game.

What reaction the postponement will have upon the two participants will not be known untilthey meet tonight. Both are at user's edge and both are predicting victory- the latter of course ls nothing new -and should the delay happen to affect either one adversely it might cause an altogether- differ- ent outcome of a scrap that is ex- pected to attract a record attend- ance. -

Playing smart ball behind the five-hit hurling of their ace right- hsncler Merl Mckenzie, Knights of ‘Columbus ball team last nlgvht ad- vanced to within one game of top standing in the Junior Baseball League by whipping hhe Kinsmen team 10-3. Kinsmen and Reece are at present deadlocked In a two-way tie.

Matching Klmmcns top of the first tally with one in the last half of the same frame the winners with two run bursts in the second and third, on the strength of timely hitting and damaging er- rors by their opponents took over a 5n lead and from there on were never headed. They added three additional runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth to make victory surer while McKenzie was limiting the Kinsmen to single counters in the fifth and seventh as he pitched himself out of sev- eral bad spots and left ten run-

ners stranded on the baeepaths"

during the six and a half inning struggle.

Kinsmen used two hurlers in an attempt to stop the mounting score. Garth Crockett started on the mound but after giving up five hits and as many runs was replaced by Cairns with one down in the third. The latter went the remainde; of the way giving up a like number of runs and hits in his three and two-thirds inning pitching chore.

Pitcher Recalled

BROOKLYN, N. Y., June 23 - (APU-Brooklyn Dodgers announc- ed today that they had recalled pitcher l-lank Behrman from their Montreal International League farm club.

Behnman, a rigiht-hander, had been recalled early in the month by Brooklyn but he was shipped back to the Royals because of “leg- al invoivements." Behrman said he preferred to stay in Montreal at the time.

He is the second pitcher to be recalled from Montreal this week. The Dodgers ‘ earlier had brought back left-handcr Paul Minnér.

Believe Pyle, iireoo Fight Illay Develop

MONTREAL. June 22--'Anythln8 can happen when the boys in-the backroom sit down to match box- figlhters but hereabouts today in- dications were that a match be- tween K.O. Joe Pyle of New Wat- erford, N. 8., and welter champion Johnny Greco of Montreal might come to pass.

At this stage “might come to pass" ls the proper phrase because as it stands now there is nothing more concrete in Lho way of a Grace-Pyle bout than a formal challenge from Pyle for a title fight over the II-round route.

Greco was in Baltimore and could not be reached for com- menh-Even in Montreal he is hard to roach now that his clouting fists have gained him such prominence that he hides behind an unlisted telephone number.

Leighton and Mireault also flied the necessary papers and deposit with Elmer Ferguson, secretary of the Canadian Boxing Federation which some time ago named Pyle the no. 2 challenger.

The can-managers, plugging their fighter, pointed to his two recent wins over Phil Palmer. crack Van- couver welterwelght boxer "w-ho has been meeting and defeating the best American welterwelghts during the past three years."

At least one of the better known experts in the Canadian box-fight business, Jack (Slotkin) Rogers, saw considerable merit in a Pyle- Greco fight. He figured Pyle ls one of the best. .

Informed that "some joker" from the Maritimes had challenged Greco. Rogers said, “whats his name?"

"Pyle."

"What! Pyle ain't no joker, let me tell ya."

The tension from this latest de- velopment in the cold war exploded late in the clay when hundreds of political demonstrators swarmed into the city hall in the Russiap sector. The 2,000 or 3,000 demon- strators invaded the councilcharn- bcr and for 90 minutes prevented a. special council debate on the currency situation. The American- controlled radio said the shouting crowd was made up of followers of the Soviet-sponsored Socialist Unity Party. ,

Later tonight’ the council adopt- ed a. resolution declaring both east and west currency should be valb". in the city. Social Democrats. Lib- eral Democrats and Christian Democrats supported the resolut- ion. The Soclalist Unity Party op- posed lt. . .

As the councilman left the hail. German reporters said, a. crowd shouted threats and assaulted three of the councilmen, including a woman.

Charging that‘ the Russians were attempting to "usurp" life and death economic power over the ll.- 000000 Germans in the Western sector, the three powers promptly made the new deutsche marks legal tender in their sectors.

They closed all banks and all except grocery and drug stores. They ordered a. temporary mora- torium on debts pending actual issuance of the new currency which was made legal tender for the three western zones last Fri- day. Stocks of the new mark al- ready were on hand for distribut- ion.
