No doubt there will be only thc faithful handful out to watch the game. as has been the case for the last couple of years. We can remember the days. and they were not too distant past. when a regular evening game would draw at least 500 fans and on Sunday afternoon an empty seat could not be found. and people were spilling out onto the far: reaches of the outfield. l

This was only four or flu- years ago when their were two leagues operating in Charlotte- town. the City League and the Junior League. and baseball was being played four evenings and one afternoon each week. While these games didn't always draw well. one could invariably depend on I crowd substantially larger that the pitiful ones attending now.

Bettors Will Pay For Race Track Supervision

0'i"1'AWA t(IPt- -lite government iiitroduccd legislation in the Com- mons Tuesday to make race track belltirs, rather than race track zissuciziiioiis. bear the cost of su- pervisory adniinislraliun at all put-ininiuel tracks under federal control.

”he l)lll. an amendment of the Criminal Code. provides that one- halt of one per cent uf each race uager will go toward the cost of pa)lllE for supervisors at feder- ally-supcrvised tracks in Prince Eduard Island. Ontario, Manitoba. Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

Agriculture Minister Gartlincr. uhose department is responsible for pari-mutuel supervision in those provinces, said the change will ""c the cost among large and small tracks.

At present. he said. some of the smaller tracks. such as at country fairs. find it difficult to meet the cost around and ensure supervision at all tracks.

Bettors stand to win fraclionally less when they have a winning ticket. but the cut will be so small as to be hardly noticeable.

Yvon Durelle

NEWCASTLE. NB. (CF)-Local fight tans, backing Yvon Durelle as a sentimental favorite. are of- fering even money on his chances tonight in a non-title bout with Floyd Patterson of Brooklyn.

No official odds are quoted for or against Canada's light gheaNvY- weight champion from Bate ate. Anne- N.B.. in the scheduled 10- ,round bout in Sinclair Arena here. It's an important match for both fighters. A loss by Patterson would hurt his bid. as No. 2 contender, for a crack at the world light heavy crown. and enhance Durelle in the rankings. . , The latter completed Ill! train- ing Wednesday at Bate Ste.

Archie Mooreis Gamble Pay"sOff KOis "Bobo” Olson In The Third

NEW YORK (AP) - Archie

Moore gambled a million dol-

lar future and won Wednesday night, destroying middle-

weight champion Bobo Olson third round to move into line

on e knockout in l:l9 of the for in September heavyweight

title shot with Rocky Marciano.

The fact that Archie. the making the fourth defense of h

38-year-old ring gypsy. was is world light heavyweight title

was almost incidental. For Moore had campaigned long and hard for in chance at the heavyweight titlelund had taken on Olson only to further this ambition.

A murderous right hand punch to the head following I miss by Olson started Bobo on the way. A mashing lefthook to the jaw dropped the baldish Hawaiian on the deck for the one and only knockdown of the fight.

As referee Ruby Goldsteln tolled off the countv Olson tried vainly to get to his feet. At the count of 10 he was creeping across the ring. toward his own corner with a queer expression on his sad lace.

.unable to make his legs obey his

commands.

Once he groped to his feet. 01- son refused to believe the bout was over. He wanted to continue and started to try to square off with Archie as Goldslein intervened. QUICK EXPLOSION

The end came with a quick ex- plosion on this steaming humid night for Olson had been giving Archie all he wanted until the old boy lowered the boom.

It was only the second time QI- son had been knocked out in his 70-bout career and his first defeat after 21 straight victories. Sugar Ray Robinson. who tried unsuccess- fully to make the same jump from the middles to the light lieavics on another jungle hot night in 1052 owned the only previous K0 over Olson. It was scored in 1950.

The odds of 12 to 5 and better favoring Moore reflected the ex- pert bclief that he could pare down from the lililii be weighed May 2 at Las Vegas and still be strong at the 175-pound class limit.

Archie just made the Welizhl at noon. coming in at 175 ”onythe. nose." While Olson weighed in a trifle heavy at l70Vo.

MARCIANO NEXT i

If Olson had won. he would have: vacated his 160-pound middleweight crown automatically under New York and National Boxing Associa- tion rules. Moore's powerful fists saved him that problem.

Days and possibly wceks of ne- gotiation with Al Weill. Rockyyll1ar- ciano's manager. probably will an- tervene before the Moore-Marciano tidbit is arranged for September.

But after Wednesday nights de- cisive victory. it is difficult to see how the ancient globe trotter can be bypassed.

It was the old ring story of the "good big man beating the good little man" just as it was the tor- rid night in '52 when Ray Robin- son collapsed from the heat and Joey Maxim's fists.

By an odd coincidence. the ref- eree on this hot night was the same Ruby Goldstein who collapsed during the Robinson-Maxim bout and had to be relieved by Ray Miller.

Referee Goldsteln had scored the first two rounds for Olson and judges Artie Aldala and Harold Barnes had the same cards. one round for each man. the first to Bobo and the second to Archie. The Associated Press had it 24) for Olson after two rounds.
