Beavers 4-2

MONCTON, N.B., Jan. 4 — (C?) --For the second straight time Moncton Hawks stopped Saint John Beavers‘ drive to regain first place in the Maritime Senior Hoc- key League by nicking Beaver: 4-2 here tonight. Hawks built ulp u 2-0 first-period lead and "on team scored once in the lecond and third sessions.

1t was the first loss in five games for Beavers and left them still one point back of Halifax St. Mary's, who lead with 61. Hawks, 14 points behind Beavers and 33 in front of last-place Amherst Ram- blers. play at Halifax tomorrow nillhi.

The game was held up five min- uics in the second period when fans littered the ice in protesting referee Maurice (Moe) Walsh's banishment of Moncton coach Harvey (Busher) Jackson. The former member of Toronto Maple Leafs kid line became the second cx-Naiional leaguer now in the lliariiimcs to bc ejected within a wcck. Erwin tMurphl Chamber- lain. pilot oi Sydney Millionaires in the Cape Breton Senior League, was thumbed out last week after a tangle with tho referees.

The Jackson-Walsh tiff started when Jackson made some uncom- plimcniary remarks to Walsh. Jack-

son. evicted from the playing bench. took his seat behind the box aftcr a lengthy argument.

When Walsh ordered him to a spot beyond shouting distance of the bench. another verbal battle followed and the home fans heav- ed rubbers and other articles. Dead-eye Lou Milani bmkc a one-game scoreless streak by b1:- yzinc two goals for Moncion.

Local sporting fans should get lots of activity tonight when they will have their pick of hockey and basketball, or both. when two very promising events are scheduled in both divisions, and should provide plenty of good entertainment in their respective fields.

Basketball is tile. first on the schedule, when an all star Reece (Army) team. picked from all of the four City teams entered in Island Basketball League compe- tition. clashes in an exhibition encounter with a hoop team from the United States Airforce Base at Harmon Field, Newfoundland.

The Harmon Field boys, who have a. high reputation as a classy band of hoopmen, will be pitting their strength against a City team for the first time, and it will be in- teresting to see just how the local style of play will compare with that of the U.S. boys.

l I O

The hockey match will be one that local fans will probably want to see too, as it has all the poss- ibilities of being one of the top- notch encounters in league play thus far this season. Both teams have a lot of young hockey ability on their lineups, and up to nos‘ have not come up against one an- other this season.

They are both partial to the same style of play of skating hard and fast at all times and prefer the open style oi’ play that makes for lots of open passing attacks and/fast breaks which should make an exciting game to watch.

Although in; Abbies have yet to suffer defeat in their two starts this season, the Collegians have nearly as good a record with a win and a loss in two starts and both will have considerable at stake in tonight's contest.

Keen. Interest In Hoop Encounter Here Tonight

In what is expected to produce a really tarp-notch basketball en- counter at the Prince of Wales College Auditorium tonight at eight o'clock, the Charlottetown Reece (All Stars) quintetie will play host to a United States Air- force squad from Harmon Field, Newfoundland in an exhibition hoop encounter.

The forthcoming olash ls one that has been looked forward to by focal basketball fans for some time now, as the Harmon Field boys have the reputation of pro- dncing plenty in the way of smart play and although they have been seen ln action at Summersidl- in previous occasions, it will be their

first appearance against a Char-

lmtetown team.

It should be a. real test of strength for the local squad who will be coming up with an all star grourp, pickcd from City teams playing in the Island Basketball Loague. that is packing plenty of smart ball handlers on its lineup.

The game should be a natural for fast action when these two squads get together tonight, and 1t is a proity sure bot that local fans will witncss one of the best games of tilc season.

The following is the Reece line- up: Guards, Ready. R/ossiter, Mac- Kninon Goodwin; forwards, Le- Page. Cullon. MacLun, Nicholson. Glovor. Mchcllan; Coarzh, Bill Parirlrlgzo.

N. B. A. Fails T0 Find Heavyweight Contender

By ARTHUR EDSON

WASHINGTON, Jun. 4 —(A1") - Ezzard Charles, World's heavy- weight boxing champion as recog- nized by the National Boxing As- sociation, finds himself in the pos- ition so long held by Joe Louis _ no logical contender for his title.

The N. B.A. issued its quarterly ratings today without naming n single fighter it deems worthy to challenge Charles.

The N. B. A.’s president, Fred .1. Saddy of Milwaukee, explained that Lee Savold and Bruce Wood- cock. who formerly were rated log- ical contenders, had been too in- active to deserve that rating now.

They've been demoted to the heading “outstanding boxers," along with Jersey Joe Walcott and Lee Oma.

Only one other champion, welt- erweight Rray Robinson, finds himself without a logical contend- er for the title in the N.B.A. view.

‘Iwo boxers were singled out for special praise.

“One of the year's outstanding boxers," said Saddy. “is Ray Fam- EChBOYI. French featherweight, who has forged to the top among fea- therweight contenders. He war- rants a rating along with Sandy Saddler. New York's challenger [or Willie Peps crown."

Li'l Arthur King of Toronto was the only Canadian in the listings. K1112, former Canadian lightweight champion, was listed among the outstanding fighters in his class but not as a logical contender for

Ike Williams’ crown.

The ratings:
