man of the International Boxing Club, owns ’Chicago Black Hawks and with a partner holds 40 percent of the stock in Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Rangers.

Campbell said, Norris’ dual hockey connection, “Is a circum- stance we would prefer not to have." But he added that Norris came in and salvaged the league when he took over the sagging Hawks in 1952. He said Norris had lost upwards of'$1,000,000 on the Hawks.- ~ ' ' ’ .

-» 'LEAVE TODAY FOR OTTAWA:

Two young Prince Edward 15- land tennis players, Jimmy Cul- len of Charlottetown and Margar- et Coffin of Summerside, were scheduled to leave this morning for Ottawa, where they will take part in the Canadian Junior Ten- nis Championships which are slat- ed to get underway on Wednes—

da .

This will mark the third time that Cullen has made the trip, even though he has not reached his 14th birthday. It is Miss Cof- fin’s initial start in the national tourney‘that features the finest junior net stars in the Dominion. The Charlottetown boy, the Is- Junior champ and three-time winner of the Island 13-year-old crown, advanced all the way to the semifinals of his age group in the 1957 tournament. He was ousted by the tourney’s top seed- ed player Dwight Belkins of Mon- treal. ' ..

Belkins in turn lost to Mike Cer- roll:.’of Ottawa in the champion- ship final. Both Carroll and Be!- kins vwere coached by George Mansfield a Toronto pro, who re- cently visited Summerside ' and Charlottetown.

Because he is still eligible to compete in the 13-year-old class, Cullen is given a good chance of making a fine showing against Ganade‘s cream of the net crop.

Jimmy is the son of veteran Charlottetown tennis standout Walter Cullen. 5 ~ NEWCOMER .

Miss Coffin is somewhat of a newcomer to the game and is making the trip to the nation’s capitol more to acquire know- ledge thsan to threaten seriously for the title_ '

The Summerside girl is a super-

playgmund and feels any points that she can pick up can be pass- ed on to young local players to their adVamtage. _
