Battle Over Glace Bay Fight Continues

By Jack Tracy

May I7 -- (C?) — When lniddieweights George Roan and Len Wadsworth traded punches m. what was billed as :. title fight in Glace Bay, N. S.. nearly three weeks ago, neither realized they had started eastern sports writer: swinging over the Canadian Box- ing Federation. irst to throw one was Alex

F (Halifax Herald) Nlckerson who wrote that Wadsworth thought he was defending his title in the l2- round bout at Glace Bay. When the fight was over, Nick recount- ed. Wadsworth thought he bad lost the title but "then the Can- adian Boxing Fefleraion declared the fight didn't. count because the Cape Breton Association was not affiliated with the C. B. 1"."

Then Dink (Montrear Gazette) Carroll took it up with the query: “Who is the 03.1%?" and promptly answered:

"So far as we know the C.B.I-‘. is only one man, Frank Hogan, who is nominally the chairman, though we have heard other names mentioned vaguely in connection with it at one time or another. Frank Hogan. twice served as head of the Montreal Athletic Commission and he was n fair- lninded and conscientious official. But. he has been placed. in the ridic ous position oi being head oi a practically nebulous body which has no office, no stationery, and which does not hold regular meetings."

Andy. ( ‘ l Standard) O'- Brien retorted with the remark: "A lengthy but lame attempt to belittle the Federation without ap- parently attempting to get the facts".

"Frankly," nid Andy. “I r0- gard the attack as undeeerving- the only really constructive steps toward putting Canadian boxing on a sound basis have been nude under Hogan's leadership "and through the Ibdention which in- cludes Wilfred Sanson, MLA, of Quebec and Fred Steele. secretary of the Ontario Athletic Cohunis- sion, as vice-presidents, and Elmer Rrfllson of the (Montreal) Herald u secretary."

"No regular office la maintained to save expenses," said Andy, "but Femie gets the mail if Hogan doesn't and meetings are held in hotels."

Bflnsing up at the rear of the argument was Hogan himself who said: "I don't mind constructive crit‘ ' but baseless raps hurt the game and discourage those who work for its good."

That there is a wealth of track and field material scattered throughout the different schools in the Province was borne out by the performances turned in at the track and field meet held at Me- morial Field last fall. Old time veterans of the cinder tracks were quick at the time to place their stamp of approval on the perform- ances of the school kids and with an all out effort being made this season to bring track and field athletics beck it is felt by track coach Walters and others interest- ed that in the matter of a couple of years the Province will boast of a. great team o: track men.

O O O

Bight of the nine making the trip on Saturday will be from City Schools while the ninth member will be Bobby Jay, Kensirlgton High School sprinting and jump- ing star. Jay it will be rmienlber- ed was outstanding in the junior events last fall. Tall and tangy he showed a decided turn oi speed in the dashes while being equally at home at the jumping pit. His performances together with the remainder of the team will be fol- lowed with keen interest.

O O O O

A team of eight Maritime am- ateur boxers will participate in the Olympic boxing trials at Montreal May 21th to 29th. and officials of the Maritime Amateur Athletic Union under whose eponscrship the trip is being made possible are highly enthused over the pros- pects. In the elimination tourna- ment held at Moncton on Saturday night the participants all came through with pleasing performan- ces and although the said officials are not visualizing any champion- ships the strong possibility re- mains that one or more might come through and thereby give the Multiples Olympic representation

O _O O O

The possibility also exists that a Charlottetown boy may be selected to make the trip to Quebec. Our spokesman wasn't prepared to divulge the name of ‘ the young mittslinger who is being consider- ed but more definite information will be forthcoming shortly. 1n the meantime a strong movement is underway to put amateur boxing on a solid foundation locally.

O O O O v

By their performances at Mone- ton on Saturday the trio that. rep- resented the Province showed plainly that there is a wealth of promising young material. With this in mind efforts era being made to secure the services of A competent coach tn train all young- sters interested with the hope that the Province will be able to put a strong team in the Maritime un- ateur championships to be held in October. Efforts will also be made to have the hlrrlplofllhipl staged here and if said efforts are suc- cessful it will certainly give the amateur boxing game a decided boost.

Boston Continues Climb In The National League,

Defeating Dodgers 12-3

(Canadian Press)

Boston Braves continued their climb up the National League lad- der last night (Monday) by dump- ing Brooklyn Dodgers 12-3 for their fourth straight victory with- out a defeat.

The triumph boosted the Braves to within two games of the Lea- gue-leading St. Louis Cardinals and only one-half game back oi the runner-up New York Giants.

m the only other scheduled game, the Giants couldn't. solve the slants of former Cardinal Blix Donneliy with the result that the Philadelphia Phillies whipped the New Yorkers 7-1,

Boston combed five Dodge: pit- chers for l8 hits while Johnnie Saln went the route for the Braves yielding nine safeties.

Sain and Bob Elliott led the Braves‘ attack with three hits apiece as each member oi the team chipped in with at least one hit.

The Braves jumped on rookie Erv Paiica. for four runs in the first inning and then sewed up the tilt by blasting Hugh Casey for seven more in the eighth frame.

The Phillles socked New You-k hurlers, including starter Bobo Newsom, for 10 safeties and also received help via. three Giant errors.

Johnny Biatnlk paced the Phlls attack, cracking out three safeties to run his hitting streak to nine successive games.

The Phillie: collected a run in the first inning but a double by Jack (Lucky) Lohrke paved the way for the Giants‘ tying run in the third.

The Phils drove Newsom from the box with two runs in the third, added another in the fourth and picked up another three at. the expense of Clint I-Iartung in the seventh.

Two melnbers of the Mounted Police are trying out, for gown teams. Lylle Thorsolzi has tumed out for the Legion and Chuck Wllller was among the Rod Sax squad in a. practice session. These bflys 100k all riglht in practice and should prove valuable additions to their respective teams. They may not always ‘get their man - at first base - thereil probably be thefts committed right under their MW. but the boys won't be put on the mat for these things in, the good" old game of baseball.

There has been far too many prolonged arguments oven-t umpires‘ decisions of judge- men.

In less than a week the umpire wlill call out “play ball" at the High School diamond and the first baseball of the season will have begun. On May 24th. an exhibition durable-header will open the season. The legion vlrllll play the Red Sox in the afternoon and the consider- ably otrengthened airforce nine will face Bill Fridgen’: juniors in the niglhtcap. The fans will be given a. chanQ to look over the newcomers and decide if they are going to make much difference in the 1948 race for the champion- ship.

Something will have to be dome about the children's playing on the new grandstand if it is to be kept in good condition for any length of tium. Already one of the boards has been smashed and another ripped off and carried away.
