For Patterson -
SEATTLE (CP)—Archie Moore, world light heavyweight boxing champion who calls himself a “logical contender” for the heavyweight crown, had a mild compliment Monday for heavy- weight champion Floyd Patter- son. “At dast Patterson has done something the public expects of a champion,’ Moore said, referring to Patterson's signing for a title defence against wpcemar Johans- son of Sweden.
“This will be the first real con- tender he has met.”
Moore also said he is ‘morally obligated” to a rematch with Canada’s Yvon Durelle and would be interested in meeting Sugar Ray Robinson, middleweight champion.

WE UNDERSTAND we are to have a juvenile league start action in the Charlottetown area this week. Teams involved | will be Prince of Wales College, Abegweits and Saint Dunstan S. | Each team is to meet the other clubs foug times, after which - g playoff will be arranged to name a Charlottetown champion fe meet the winner of Summerside, Kensington. ‘ This local juvenile league should produce some really good hockey, with every team given a god chance of getting home a winner. Saint Dunstan's boys have taken the measure of the other two clubs but those games were exhibition ones and don’t mean a great deal. Juveniles can take a bad lacing one day and bounce .right back and slap down the. opponent that upended them a few days earlier. We anticipate a really great series among these juveniles. There are loads of capable young hockeyists on every ‘club and all will have ample chance to show their stuff before a Char- lottetown champion is crowned. Fans should watch for dates

NO PREDICTIONS
As regards both our entries in this group, we'll make no pre- dictions. No matter who wins they have a long way to go. There are twenty teams entered in this group. Alltogether there are thirty one teams entered in Island play- offs. This, we are given to under- stand, is an all time high. Looks like hockey is having a banner season- on the Island.

There are two teams in the High School girls league, while the grade 7 and 8 girls have a three team’ league. The grade 7 and 8 boys also have a three team league.

The award actually was voted some time ago, by the New York Baseball Writers, but it. was not announced previously. K will be presented to Howard on opening day at Yankee Stadium, April 10.
Howard, who once played in the International League with Tor- ento Maple Leafs, climaxed his contract negotiations Sunday night at a brief session with club officials. The news was released Menday.
SIZEABLE INCREASE
Nobody ever announces actual contract figures. However, it was learned that Howard will get about $25,000, a sizeable increase from last season.
Howard, 29, on Feb. 23, hit 314 during the regular season. He finished 11 points behind Ted Wil- liams. :
The husky rightha hitter, who now lives in Teaneck, N.J., really got around last season. He caught 67 games, played the out- field in 24 games and ‘stood on first base” as he puts it, in five games. He also was used seven times as a pinch hitter, appearing in a total of 103 games. He pre- fers catching.
Howard said he believed he was qualified to do full time duty as a catcher. *“‘But I don’t know what the management thinks,”’ he add-

Fontinato was referring to De- troit's Gordie Howe who over- night became the bare - knuckle | champion of the National Hockey | League, a title many thought Lou could safely defend :

Fontinato apparently became incensed when Howe whacked Eddie Shack’s ear with his stick.

MONTREAL (CP)—Pai Supple, Canada’s rugged little bantam- weight boxing champion, said Monday his handlers are negotiat- ing for fights in the Philippines and South Africa.
The 21 - year - old Montrealer said he has received offers to meet Al Ascunsion in Manila and Grahame Vanderwalt in Johan- nesburg.
Supple, recently-returned from a four-fight tour of the British Isles, has had difficult finding top-calibre opponents in Canaifa, where there are few fighters in the lower-weight divisions.
Ascunsion is the world’s eighth- ranked bantamweight and Supple said he is particularly interested
