The Flyers dropped the Staruless and their smart play account-

I-l last night at Memorial Field to jump into a tie for first place in the league standings. It was a free hitting game with a total) of 21 hits being slashed out by both teams. The Flyers had eleven of them and the Stars 10. which included two doubles and a ltomcl run.

The Flyers pushed across three big runs in the top of the second which were enough to win the: ball game. A fie-lder's and five singles accounted for the runs. The winners added two more in the fifth and a single in the ninth

Dave Mac-Leod personally ac- counted for the Star's lone run when ho blasted a mighty home run into right field in the seventh MacLeod chipped in a double in, the second frame to lead his team at the plate. Lorne ?llcGuigan was the only Star's player who fail- ed to get a hit. Donnie Leclair had two singles and Don Mac- Donald hit a double.

Bob Bedard Ca Canadian Tennis Views

MONTREAL (CF)-Official eye- brows were raised Tuesday over a Canadian Press interview in Lott- don with Rob Bedard, 23-year-old Sherbrooke tennis player who spoke his mind about things general in Canadian tennis.

Bedard, who has made a swing of the European circuit with To- ronto's Don Fontana and Don Plait. was quoted at Wimbledon as saying he wnnii return to Europe and doubts if other Canadians will go over next year.

He also said he couldn't see Can- ada ever being anything but it aecond - rate tennis power and blamed this condition largely on Canada's short tennis season and lack of opportunities for Canadian boys to play in the United States. He said no one had showed hm

Harry Marpole. president of the CLTA. said: "I appreciate Be- dard's desire to return to Canada and click to business. The CLTA does not expect its players to go on playing wnnis forever. We ap- reciata they must look after their ivelihood and get into business. "I think his statements about not ettring any help are most unfair. ho CLTA policy is not to spend Ia funds on established players Ior overseas trips but rather on Junior development through our provincial associations.

Kenny Lane Decisions iiKid” Howard And Keith Paris Wins Welterweight Crown

HALIFAX. (CP)--Kenny Lane of Muskegon. Mich., used his unorthodox southpaw style to good advantage Tuesday night as he punched out an unanimous 10-round decision over Dick (Kid) Howard.

It was Lane's second win in five weeks over the Cana- dian lightweight champion from Halifax. Lane weighed

138, Howard 136.

The 6.500 Forum fight fans saw Lane flick his right into I-Iowardis face time and again as the stocky and shorter Howard tried to bore in for his strong infighting.

Referee Jack Mckenna

stop- drove Howard into the ropes. but

ped the scheduled 10-rounder at Howard came off without apparent 2:11 of the third as Grace bled d8m889-

After his recent decisive K.0. ovor Willy Pollard at Dartmouth. a number of sports writers have remarked that Mi-.Cluske-y has turned tiger and has forsaken his fancy-Da-n style for that of the slugger. This style certainly paid off in his scrap with Pollard as he had the Bostonian asleep on .iihe resin in the third round. Ac- cording to the press he .siiowed punching power that few believed he had. 'I)Ivis. of course. will come as bad news to his opponents who were always kept busy avoiding his dellt left hand jabs without the added ment-al strain of worry- ing about being belted with I sandbag under the guise of a padded tist that would herald the premature arrival of the sand- man.

B. C. Crew Seeks Laurels At Henley Royal Regatta

By ARCH MacKENZlE Canadian Press Staff Writer Hl:1NLEY-ON-THAMES. England

ICP)-Canada made her first bid for honors in the Henley Royal Regatta 70 years ago.

Friday. the University of British Columbia eights crew will be seek- ing to stay in the fight for the bi - gest prize of all. the Grand Cha- lenge Cup. which has always eluded Canada's grasp.

A Toronto Argonauts foursome made Canada's Henley debut in 1885 in the Steward'a Challenge Cup-unsuccessfully as It turned out. The first Canadian triumph was marked up in 1904 in the dia- mond scuils when Lou Scholes won.

And although the Winnipeg Row- ing Club won the Steward's in 1910, and Joe Wright Jr. and Jack Guest. Sr. duplicated Scholes' sculls tri- umph n 1923 and 1930. at least nine assaults on the Grand have failed.

ARGOS FAILED

The first was in 1899. The last was In 1939. when an Argonauts crew failed in the final against Har- vard.

AROUND AND ABOUT-- An- other sports event will fall on the same day hit lvan Doherty's fight card. The major league all-star game will be played at M11. waukee on July l2t.'h. It will be remembered that a pop fly single off the hat of Chicago's Nellie Fox won last year'a game for the American League after bo th teams had knocked each other around with a barrage of home runs . . . The Navy won its first game after ten tries in a City softball League game on Monday nltlht . . . The Centennial Hot- Rod race was a tremendous ouc- cess. surpassing all expectations. The huge crowd was lined fun and five deep from the shorting lloint by the Civic Centre to Water Street. three and a half blocks away.

In what may be the most frus- trating Henley since the inaugural in 18:19. the Canadians have had some breaks over the two other overseas entries. the Russian club Krasnoe Znamia.and the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. The dock strike has been the stumbling block.

UBC. arriving first on the Hen- ley scene June 10. didn't get its shell until eight days later. But the Russians. who won three of five Henley events last year. in- cluding the Grand. still haven't got theirs.

It looked Monday as though they might have to use borrowed shells for the regatta which starts Wed- nesday and ends Saturday.

HOPES FADE

The Russian boat carrying lliey shells jumped in shipping queue to get into London's dockland. but hopes for it speedy unloading faded Monday. despite willingness of five rowing-minded dockers to give the Russians a break. A Henley trut-Ix. returned empty after waiting at dockside for hours.

Nellie'Fox Becoming A "Little Poison" Batter

"I've had lots of luck at bat. especially on the last road trip." said the 27-year-old Fox. "I'm swinging all the time and I'm con- nectlng.” EIGHT STRIKE-OUTS

Fox. who had struck out "only eight times through the last Sox road swing. not only led the club with his .339, but also was high man in total bases with 131.

Fox spanks the ball with more accuracy than distance. But at that. Nellie had 5 homers. 5 triples and 14 two-baggers.

Sow general manager Frank Lane joshes that the only thing that would make Fox slump would be a flurry of homers.

But Fox counters:

"The day will never come when little me starts swinging for the fences. I'm not built like a slug- ger and I'm content just to punk that hall where they an't.'
