Montreal Canadiens Win Junior Hockey Chiship

By Vin Morris. Jr.

MONTREAL, May 7 - (CP) - Billy Gooid led Montreal Cana- diens to the Memorial Cup Satur- day night with a dazzling three- goal performance as the Moni- realers trounced Regina Pats 6-3 to capture the Canadian junior hockey championship in five games.

A crowd of 5,000 was on hand to see Gould and Art Rose take the sting out of the Regina attack by scoring five important goals be- tween them.

Can.adiens' victory gave Mon- treal its second straight Memorial Cup. Last year Montreal Royals brought the title here for the first time by defeating Brandon Wheat Kings in theawest.

Jacques Nadon was the other Montreal sniper. while Brian Mc- Donald. Merv Bragg and Eddie Litzenloergcr were Regina marks- men.

The game was played at a ter- rific pace with Cansdlens holding the upper hand throughout. They outshot Regina 35-25.

Can-adiens had too much class and speed for Regina and their heavy rearguard of Ernie Roche and Bucky l-lollingworth counted heavily in the contest.

Marlboros In 4-1 Victory Over Calgary

CALGARY. May 7 -- (CP) - Toronto Marlboros had no trou- ble riding herd on a disorganized string of Calgary Stampeders Sat- urday night. The eastern cham- pions put a 4-1 victory brand on the cowboys and took is 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Allan Cup final.

In the Calgary dressing room after the game. defenceman Jack Tsggart said: "We lost the game because we daerved to lose - - - we just weren't skating."

But the Dukes, whowon the first game of the Canadian senior hoc- key championship series 06 and dropped the second 5-4, were skat- ing. And they also threw their weight around more vigorously- particularly young Hugh Bolton, the 21-year-old University of To- ronto englneerlng student who is slated to play defence for Toronto Maple Leafs next year.

Bolton. as well as making smart use of his solid 190 pounds, was one of the four Toronto goal-gei- ters. A1 Buchanan. Chunk Blair

Savoie Afier 14ih Straight Kayo Monday

TORONTO. May 5 - (OP) - Armand Savoie, 19-year-old Mon- treal flghter who tickles the ivories (by ear) and carries a stick of dynamite in each fist. will shoot for his 14th straight knockout and his lath in.22 professional fights Monday night. Ring exiperts fig- ure hls shot will be on the but- ton.

Armand. not old enough accord- ing to boxing regulations to fight a 10-rounder, will be up against southpaw John (Spider) Thomp- son of Builfala, N. Y., in the main- bout eight-round go at Maple Leaf Gardens. The way the smiling- eyed Armand is going in training he should pin the Americans ears back in time to let the expected 0,000 fans get home early.

Ar-mand's record speaks for it- self. Two weeks ago he knocked out Alan McFater, Torontots pride and Joy in the lightweight division, in seven rounds and hardly work- ed up a sweat. McFater earlier won two decisions over the Buffalo lefty.

That record calls for another Savole K. 0. Monday. but the quiet and assuming fighter who repre- sented Canada in the 1008 Olym- pia isn't saying much except that he is "confident."

n George Armstrong-all from different lines - scored the oth- ers.'Veteran Doug (Crafty) Cairns scored for Calgary in the first 1 period.

Host pro Sam Snead finished second hi the four-day event over the 6.388-yard Old White Course with 203-66-269. Norman Von Nida of Sydney, Australia, was third at 205-65-270 and Skip Alex- ander of Knoxville, Tenn., fourth with 200-'il-271.

Trainer Pete Odette is pretty sweet about Armand. but he is also cautious.

"We are confident about Mon- day n.lghl's fight, but Thomps is s southpaw and he can make trou- ble."

Savole is improving every time out but he isn't ready for the big time. "The kid needs experience and I wouldn't say he would be ready for a year or two yet. He needs time.”

At the rate the ground is drying up with the warm weather that is

in vogue at the moment. it shouldn't be long now before work will be commenced on the various ball diamonds at Victoria Park and at other points in and about the City, to get them in shape for the start of the baseball season

which will likely get underway early next month. ' 0 C 0 Even now. with the diamonds

still clinging to the remnants of their winter and spring dampness. the youngsters could be seen getting in a little pre-season prac- tice over the weekend at the var- ious sites that are used for that purpose. Although most of it only consists of tossing the ball around at the moment, it is a sure sign that the sport will be coming into full bloom soon. I I 0 Local golfers too. are watching the greecis and fairways at Bel- vadere and Green Gables courses closely these days. and with a gleam of anticipation in their eye. are waiting for the first opportun- ity to start belting the pill around. All that will be needed to get the "early birds" started digging in the back closet for "ye olde drivers and putters" will be the go ahead sign from the greens-keeper, and the flag waving over the cup at the end of number one fairway.

"One of the saddest spectacles of sport," states a recent report from an Upper Canadian city, "is that of the once-great athlete liv- ing out his remaining years in obscurity." A few days ago, Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson caught up with Jim Thorpe? the American Indian who was hailed as the world's greatest athlete in 1912 when he set new marks in winning the Decathlon and Pant- athlon in the-Olympic Games of that year. Thorpe now is manag- ing a practically-unknown wrestler named Sunni War Cloud.

0 O 0

"He's a poor man today," wrote Ferguson. "a man who never was quite able to- capitalize on his Olympic fame. and his football prowess. because there was no professional football in the days when he was dazzling the football world carrying the ball for Carl- isle Indians.

0

"Thorpe shrugs off the fact that his feats were wiped off amateur record books because he played semi-pro baseball before the Olym- pics." Ferguson says he was "deeply wronged by the over- zealous adminlstrations of the blgots of amateur sport." ''It doesn't matter now." be told Fer- guson. "All I know is that I was an amateur athlete at those Olym- pics. That might have counted. But perhaps those men who black- balled me were right. Anyway. it doesn't matter now.”

0 O C

If someone were to take the trouble. as Ferguson did, to un- cover the present status of many great athletes of the past who are still living, they would find many more who have slid down from the peak of public prominence into almost obscurity. This seems to be as much a part of sport as the "days of fame themselves." There is always some one to take their place at the height of greatness to steal the spotlight of public ldolism, and while the light shines on the newcomer. the once great. slip into obscurity, only to be re- membered by the record books or some launch fan of that day. harken ng back to the "good old days."

For those who have fallen into leaner years, it is better to leave them that way. unless something can be done to help them material- ly. True. we all like to hear what became of so and so. who was once A great athlete. but if it is a sad tale to tell. it is better left un- told. Let those who were once bathed in the light of greatness live in the warmth of it with their memories. And let those who once knew them as great. think of them as they were then. and not u they are now.

Meanwhile Brooklyn downed Pittsburgh 3-2 while Philadelphia came through with two victories over Cincinnati, 6-0. 8-4.

The final big St. Louis rally produced five runs in the seventh -three of them on Eddie Miller's home run with Slaughter and Schoendienst scoring ahead of him.

The Cards started hitting Johnny saln in the first inning but he had given up 1:1 hits and five runs before he went out for John Antorielli in the fifth.

A near-capacity crowd of 33.734 saw Robinson lace his game- wlnnlng four-bagger into the left- fleld bullpen in the sixth with no- body ahoard. It was Jackie's sec- ond homer of the year.

Robinson tied the game in the third when his double to left scored Pee Wee Reese and George Shuba.
