Savold Beats Woodcock I For British Version Of Heavyweight Crown

By BEN Pl-ILEGAR

IDNDON, June 6 - (AP) -Lee Savold of the United States, beat Bruce Woodcock of England into n -bloody mass in four rounds tonight to win the British and European versions of the world heavyweight title.

A sell-out crowd of 50.000 per- son; saw the battle, scheduled for all rounds. at White City stadium.

The end came for Woodcock as the bell rang for the end of the fourth. The Englewood, N. .1, fight- er had belted the British champ- ion from Doncaster. Yorkshire, sav- lgely in the fourth. and opened a two-inch gash over his left eye.

As blood gushed from the wound, from Woodcock's nose, and from a out under his mouth. his seconds threw a towel into the ring when the bell sounded.

Savold. five years older but in perfect condition. stood almost un- marked although he 'iad taken four times as many punches as the 39-year-old Briton during his career.

The New Jersey veteran had fought the battle just as he had planned it - cool, calm and un- murried. Woodcock whipped savold there on a foul in the fourth round Doc. 6. 1948.

The wild-punching Woodcock, who landed at least a dozen sizz- ling rights to Savold's head. never once made him wince.

-Savold is not recognized world- wide as heavyweight champ. The United states National Boxing As- sociation. numbering all the states except New York. calls Ezzard Ohlrles of Cincinnati its champ- lon. Charles now is on the shelf because of a heart. ailment.

New York state never recog- nized a. successor to Joe Louis af- for he retired March 1. 1949.

If the present plans of a locaJ group of sporting enthusiasts nia- ierialize. hockey fans in this City and Province may see the revival of the "Big Four" hockey days

here next winter. The unnamed group have been carrying out ex- tensive findings into the possibil- ity of sponsoring a (cam in such a league and have been ncgoiiHi- ing with Maritime Senior l-loclu.-y League officials Concerning the venture. . . 0 . As far as can be learncd at pre- sent. a local team would he nr:- gepfed Into the "Big Four" Cl."- cuif providing they can meet. cer- tain requirements. One would he the icing of a team made up of players with ability on a par with the present player standards pre- vailing in that league. The offl- clals behind the movement feel that the project can be carried out If they can get the attendance and support of the fans, But ihls would have to be assured in ad- vance by carrying oui a large scale canvass throughout the Provlnnc now to determine whether or no: they can achieve a reasonable sell- out of their seating plan for the gamea during the winter. 0 O O C It is the intention of the group to carry out such a canvass, and If the result proves successful they will continue on with their plans. but if the response of the fans proves to be insufficient. the pro- ject will be dropped. The parties Involved in the development. feel that there are thousands of fans who remember the good old rlays of "Big Four" competition here. and would like to see It back again. Well, there is little doubt about that. and if the project can be carried off successfully. it would certainly raise the future hopes and development of hockey in this Province. back to the days when as the result of such calibre of play being played here. this Province developed some of the best material of that era in Marl- time circles. 0 C O 0 Baseball will get underway in earnest for ihe season both here and at Summerslde today. when all four teams of the Physical Fitness Island Baseball League will see action in the official opening of the schedule.

Detroit's red-hot Tigers beat the Washington senators 11-8 Tuesday, ringing up their seventh straight victory and taking over first place in the American League.

The triumph lifted the Detroit- ers into the league lead by .002 percentage points over New York Yankees. who lost to Cleveland Indians, 16-2.

The oddity of the situation is that the Tigers, while ahead on the merest margin of percentage, still are half a game back of the Yankees in the won-and-lost columns

The Tigers mauled five Wash- ington pitchers for l6 hits. includ- ing three by Freddie Hutchinson, the starting and winning pitcher. Hutchinson. however. needed relief from Montreal's Paul Calvert to post his sixth victory as Washing- ton rallied for four runs in the ninth.

Cleveland Indians blasted New York Yankees for 22 hits.

Ponderous Luke Easter cracked two singles. a, double and a triple to pace Cleveland's attack. which was good for 33 total bases. Joe Gordon and Jim Hegan chipped in with home runs. while Bob Kennedy connected for four singles.

Mike Garcia, Cleveland's husky Mexican righthander. picked up his second victory of the season.

Joe DiMaggio accounted for New York's second run in the fourth with a.hom(- run into the rightrfield seats-the Yankee Clippers ninth of the year and 326th of his career.

Ken I-Iolcomloe ocf ohicago White Sox weathered a stormy first in- ning and. aided by some lusty hitting. won his first game of the season. an 8-4 drcision over Bos- ton Red Sax.

Five of the winne"s' runs came on homers. two by Gus Zcrnial. as loser Mel Parncll. Bo.-ton's ace lefthander, failed for the third successive time to pitch the dist- ance.

The victory ended a four-game Chicago losing streak and snapped a Boston winning streak of four.

St. Louis Browns trailed 5-0, then rallied for three runs in each of the sixth and seventh inn-ings-to defeat Philadelphia Athletics 6-5. The victory advanced the Browns within eight percentage points of seventh place now hold by the losers.

Tom Fcrrick. third of four pitch- ers used by St. Louis. hurled only one Inning but icccivcd credit for the victory. A1 Widmar preserved the Brownie lead by pitching two-

Hank Wysc, tagged for the sec- ond three-run st. Louis uprising was charged with his fifth setback.

C. A. F. Royals over Memorial Field at 5:30. and Char- lottetown Abbie: open with Sum- merside Curran and Briggs at the western capital. .

The Falcons-R. C. A. F. game here is expected to be a smart en- counter and although neither team have met one another in presea- son iilts, they have proved to

have plenty of power on their rosters in games against other teams.

Chicago Cubs In 7-6 Victory Over Dodgers

By Tbs Canadian Press

Reliefer Jack Bahia of Brook- lyn walked across the winning Chicago run in the 10th to give the Cubs a 7-0 National League vic- tory over the Dodgers in a homer- -punctuated. see-saw game before 21,367 Chicago fans Tuesday.

After Cub third-sacker. Bill Ser- ena. had driven across four runs on two homers. outfielder Bob Borkowski opened the Bruin 10th with a triple.

Bahia intentionally walked two batters. filling the-bases. Thea- dccidedly unintentionally - he walked pinch-hiiier Emil Verban to score Bcrowski with the de- ciding run.

Verban batted for the fourth Cub pitcher and game winner, John Vander Meer. who hurled -brilliantly after pinch-hitter Tom Brown's ninth - inning opening home run had fled the score 6-8.

The triumph. which gave the Cubs the series, 2-1, was completed with manager Frankie Frisch in the clubhouse. Fiery Frankie was chased after a seventh-inning argu- ment with the firsi-base umpire. Lee Ballanfani.

Bobby Thomson's long-silent bat spoke for two home runs and a triple. powering New York Giants to a lO-4 victory over the reeling Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Scottish-born outfielder. whose .245 batting average had -held up New York's progress. drove home six runs and scored three.

Jack Kramer. making his first start since April 28. picked up his first victory 'as a National Lcaguer. Mel Queen. who started for Pittsburgh. suffered his fifth vseiback.

Ninth-inning disaster overlook Cincinnati Reds once again with Boston Braves scoring five times in the final frame for an 8-3 tri- umph.

The Braves drove starter Ewell Blackwell to cover in that big ninth which saw them use two walks. a single. an error, a base- clcaning triple by Earl Torgcson and a fly for their five runs.

The bases were loaded with one out when Bobby Adams muffed Sam Jethroe's high fly to let Walker Cooper in with the run that broke a 3-3 tie. Torgy ii-fen smashed his triple off reliefer Harry erkowski to bring in threa more. e scored a moment later on Tommy Holme-s' fly.
