..

he Glace Bay Miners last year may be coaching the Miners when the 1952-3 season opens next fall. According to Aubrey Keizer in the Sydney Post Record reports are going the rounds that the Miners are trying to get Macey to take over. Keizer agrees with the Min- ers views and writes that the Glace Bay club would be making a good deal because Macey has a lot of conections, knows the ability of a. lot of players who will end up down this way and being a good friend of "Bud" Poile might be able to get some players from Poiie at Edmonton.

Keizer himself had a letter from Macey who lives at The Pas, Alan- itoba. The letter which he quotes in part does not mention the Glace Bay coaching job although he speaks about Bud Poile and what a fine temperament he has for a coach. He mentions seeing Pat Coniielly, a former sportscastcr in Sydney who is now working with a station in Fliii Flon, Manitoba. He also saw Sheldon Bloomer Glace Bay defenseman who will be married this coming Saturday. . . .

Cliff Roach has found himself in a peculiar position this past week. Cliff, who took over from Bill Dinning as coach of the Syd- ney Millionaires in the middle of last season, was voted the best coach in the Big Six at the end of the year in the All Star poll. This selection did not carry much weight with the Sydney club, how. ever, as they decided last Thu;-5- day night to get. a big name coach

Robinson.-Maxim Bout Postponed; Sugar Ray Now Bettin.g Favorite

By JACK HAND

NEW YORK, June 23 - (AP) - Sugar Ray Robinson took over the favorites role today as light rain forced a two-day postponement of his light-heavyweight title fight with champion Joey Maxim until Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.

Strong support for the middle- weight, king developed after the weigh-in and there were indications the washout would drive the price higher, past ill to 10.

Robinson would have given away 14?; pounds to Maxim had they fought tonight. Now they have to do it. all over again Wednesday with a second official weigh-in.

The fight could not be held Tues- day night because New York Giants play a night doubleheader with Cincinnati. Giants and Yanks have a. reciprocal no-conflict agreement

Cleveland's Joey. his swarthy face shadowed by a bristle of whisk- ers. came in just under tihe class

l-mit at i74”l pounds. The sleek Robinson, sporting a thin mus- tache, weighed 160. They shook

hands, grinned and exchanged small talk as they posed for photograph- ers in the lobby of Madison Square Garden.

Jack (Doc) Keams, Maxim's manager, said Joey will take road work in Central Park tomorrow morning and loosen tip with a. brie! drill at the New York Athletic Club later.

Robinson worked out at the up- town gymnasium late today. His plans for tomorrow depend on his weight. He doesn't want to stray too far over 160 pounds.

Jim Norris, president; of the In- ternatlonal Boxing Club, postponed the fight about two hours after the weigh-in, in time to give out-ot- towners a break.

"We checked all the forecasters around," he said. (And nobody gave us any hope of a break in the wea- ther. If it siiouid rain Wednesday.

There is little doubt but mail

Sydney are doing the right thing in going after a. "name coach" with izood connections. Such commod- ities are not easy to find. It usiiaiiy works out, however, that the coach with the connections to get the players is one who comes out on top in the end. There have been no rumors about whom the Million- aires have in mind. They might consider "Buddy" O'Connor who played with the New York Rangers 1W0 years ago. Sydney, it will be recalled had close connections with the Rangers last winter and it was through those connections that they obtained Frank Bathgate. On the other hand O'Connor may be thinking about retlring from hm- key as he is a candidate for Maur- ICE DUrIlcssis' Union Nationaie party in the forthcoming Quebec election. . . o

SDMKIHR of Frank Bathgate brings to mind a report out of On

fario about his younger brother Andy. The younger Bathizate was captain of the Memorial Cup win- ners last season and one of their best forwards. Since then he has gone to New York for an operation on his knee. The knee is now on the mend but Bathgate has been or. dered to take it easy for the sum. mer. He. will report to the Rangers camp this fall and is regarded as It good prospect for the New York club.

This evening out at Memorial Field the Intermediate Abbie; win be trying for their first two points of the season at the expense of their young brethren the junior Abbies. The last time these two teams met. the juniors won by an 8-7 score. A win tonight for the juniors would lift them-into second place in the league while a win for the .Tnt::rmcdiates ..'ould take them

George Gainford, Robinson's man- tiger, hinted what might be expect- ed from Robinson if he wins.

"Is there any chance Ray might give up the light-heavy title. if he wins it?" he was asked.

"He might retire and give them both up." said "Emperor" George. "Then they could run two tourna- merits."
