Both Camps Of Victory

By Bill Macklin

LONDON, April 14 —tAP)-~Wilil\ a shot a-t Joe Louis‘ world heavy- weight. title awaiting the winncr, Britain's Bruce Woodcwk and Joe Baksi of Kulpmonl, Pa., meet in a 1D round scrap tomorrow night and botih camps predicted victory on the ove of the international elim- inalion.

Nearly 11,000 ticket holders have paid an estimated £50,000 ($200,000) ~—a. record prize gate for Britain~~ to see the battle between the two white hopes tn Londons Harrtngay Arena. ~

Fans who couldn't. get tickets will depend on the BBC for a broadcast description of tihe fight.

The broadcast is expected to draw such a huge audience that Hugh Dalton. chancellor of the ex- cihequer, advanced his annual bud- get speech half an hour to avoid competing with it.

‘Opening Day

Selke said he looked to the return of Richard. suspfillded for the third Eamc Saturday night after drawing a match penalty in the second for an attack on Toronto's Bill iizi- nlolci. to put the Canediens back in ting series.

“Not many players can 5001's 5 goals in flu garlies like ho aid dur- ing the season and a fellow like that is bound to make a lot of dif- ference." said the Montreal manag- er. "We have no fresh injuries and our other injured are bound lo be better.

"We came close to winning Sat- urday night. I figure we actually were beaten by a cite-goal margin~ the fourth Toronto goal, although I. nifty play, coming on a break- wway in the last minute."

The Tuesday night game may well be the decisive one in t-hc scr- ies. If Leafs win, Canadicns will have to take three in a rm: to re- peat their 1946 Stanley Cup tri- umph. But if Cnllfldlens win and tie it up. their chances will look good as the fifth and seventh gam- es are scheduled for lVlchlre-al ice and only onie, the s-ixlh, for Tor- otnto,
