New Curbs On Pros Raiding Maritime League

TORONTO. May 28 - (CP) Professional hockey leagues may not raid clubs from the Major Series (Alexander Trophy) after Jan. 15 unless an emergency arises, it was decided today at a meet- ing of the pros and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.

Until today it was possible for pro clubs to call up players from the major series at any time. Now, the deadline may go beyond Jan. 15 only if pro teams fall below the strength of one goalkeeper. fne dciencemen and 10 forwards through injiu'ies'.

Negotiation committees of the C.A.H.A. and the National and American Leagues made the de- cision at a closed session.

The deadline was set. because all players in the major series are mder contract and professionals .-ould play in the leagues without being reinstated as amateurs and some were called up shortly be- fore the Alexander Trophy final series started.

At today's meeting were: Doug Grimston. New Westminster. B.C.. president of the C.A.H.A.: A1 Pickard. Regina. immediate past president: W. B. (Baldy) George, Kernptvills, first vice-president;

Chhileslllses Movie As Part Of Training

By Murray Rosa

i

PLEASANTVILLE. N. J.. May 26 -(AP)-in a darkened little room in a small home in this town near Atlantic City. a movie.is being run over and over again. It's become a "must" routine in the training of Ezzard Charles ior his return crack at heavyweight. champion Jersey Joe Waicott.

The film is entitled "Ezzard Charles versus Jersey Joe Walcott

for the Heavyweight Champion- ship." Every day until he leaves this

camp for his title bout with wal- cott in Philadelphia June 5. Char- les will go through the mental torture of watching himself get knocked out July 19. 1961. by a left hook.

The former champion doesn't bother him.

"I've watched that. movie in a lot of cities when it was playing." said Ezzy.

Did you learn

says it

something from

it, someone asked.

"Yes. that it ends the same." said Charles.

Charles has been working on

his own hooks in camp. Sunday he reached his peak condition to date when he dropped veteran Al Smith and punished other spurmates. ills hook was his most effective weapon. He whammed it to the body and head with every ounce of his power behind the blows.

MAY 27. 1952

A Maritime Major Hockey Lea- gue request suggested by Islanders President Dr. PC. Dougan at the Halifax meeting of the M M.H I... over a week ago was partially granted yestexiay at a meeting of the proiessional”and members of the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation. It was a request that profession 1 clubs be prevented from recalling players from the major leagues after the January agreed to with but one stipulation. This stip- ulation was that players in the major leagues could be recalled if the playing strength oi the profes- aional. t:-am fell below one goal- keeper. five def cemen and ten forwards on account oi injuries.

0 C 0 Those who supported Maritime Miajor Hockey last season will

heartily approve of this ruling. It may yet be a case oi locking the door after the hourse got out but if there is major hocioey in the Maritimes next season the major- ity oi the clubs. especially the smaller ones. will benefit by the new rule. At least it will prevent a team from packing its lineup shortly before the play-offs com- mence. a practise not unknown in these seaside provinces. . . .

The biggest news to come out oi yesterday's meeting as far as we were concerned was combined in the last paragraph of the Canad- ian Press wire story. It read to the effect that the Maritime Major League would operate again next season with four teams in it. Al- though the story did not reveal who represented the Maritimes at the meeting. we presume it. must have been Judge J. Elliott Hudson. President of the M.M.l-i.L. who was delegated to attend the an- nual meeting of the C.A.H.A, Judge Hudson must also have been delegated to carry this message to the meeting although his state- ments yesferday may haverbeen misinterpreted.

. . .

Although the four clubs were not designated. we presume they included Glace Bay. Saint John. Halifax and Charlottetown. At the M.M.l-l.L. meeting a week ago Sunday, Glace Bay and Saint John stated they were definitely inter- ested. Halifax wasn't sure and Charlottetown would not know un- til a general meeting-had been held. Sydney was not interested and Moncton would operate only on a modified scale. From here it would appear that Halifax will be a definite starter. There could be a matter of conjecture over who will be the fourth entry. A general meeting of the Islanders Club may be held before June 8 or some time next week and then we may know.

. . .

A week ago Aubrey Kelzsr of

the Sydney Post Record had a

few interesting observations to N"; york goo go; 439.; 9 1 make about the fate oi the Mil- no; n , , . go; on zog.g1 1 liouaires. Aubrey stated that" lit- sum gnd nun; pg;-mu .nd tle was known about the team's White. '

gested that Sydney might enter a league with New Glasgow. Pictou and Amherst but that it would be hard on Sydney's pride to be competing in a lower bracket than that oi Glace Bay. The rank and file oi the -people might care but we doubt if it would bother the pride of those who headed the Sydney organization last year. 0 C a A factor which may help decide whether or not the Maritlmes re- turn to Allan Cup hockey or re- main in major competition will be that retarding the status oi play- ers. If the Maritlmes return to Al- lan Cup hockey it is possible that the players who performed with the ill. M. H. 1.. teams last year will be declared free agents. Judge Hudson has been asked to have this matter clarified by the C. A. H. A. - O I O . Another expression of sympathy over the death of Johnny mtchsk has been received from one of his 20if'tl;lIl' team-mates. Yesterday bad a letter from Walter Pawly- shyn and in it Waiter expressed his regret over Johnny's untimely death. Several days ago Phil vltaia in a telegram to Bill Brown. liiorum Manager wired an expression of sympathy. - V . -----4

Sport Echoes Front Prince County

The ladles' softball game which opened the season in Summerside on Victoria Day was attended by a fairly large crowd which shows that the fans are going to take a very active interest in this league. Mayor Wedge threw the first ball, after congratulating all concerned in the efforts they have made. The game was close. exciting and cleanly fought.

O O O 0

Mrs. Major who pitched for the R.C.A.l'-1. Ramblers, didn't have much success with Aeness' Cubs in her first appearance. but if she gets better control. and is able to get the ball over, she will be very tough to hit. As it was. she struck out six stick wielders. but offset this fine per- formance by issuing sixteen walks. Mrs. Mason at second base was a star both at bat and afield. Mrs. Finnegan. whose powerful bat contributed a lotto the PM!) cause last year, didn't get into her strldcias yet. She seemed a bit over-anxious, and struck at some bad balls.

I 0 O C

Aencas' Cubs look stronger than when they played under the Curran dz Briggs banner last year. The Gay sisters have added strength, particularly Betty who hit a home-run, and Louise Gal- lnnt at short field shows signs of becoming a star performer. Lorinds Gaudet was the best of the five pitchers who worked In that first game. Their infield looks strong defensively with Rose Goudel. at first. Marcia De-

laney at second, Louise Gallant at short, and Diane Gallant at third. I O C 0 We've followed the "ladies be-

fore gentlemen" rule. and now we'd better say something about the C. & B. juniors who beat Maccan in their first game of the season. The juniors will be top- notch An the outer pastures again this year. and strong enough in the infield. The double-play com- bination looked as if it needed a little oiling on the only double- killing ball that went their way, but when you consider that they have had little or no practice as yet. and that Johnny Whalen. a kid of fifteen, hasn't played many games at the keystone sack, they nre playing par for the course. Mark Delaney looked particularly sharp at the hot corner. 0 O 0
