Sir--Before moving along ‘ in . t. job of ranking the fighters, I

would like to give you the table " showing how the leading battlers '-

finished in their respective divi- sions.

In the Heavyweight Divisions Bob Hesslon is without a chal-

langer. During the year Yvon Durelle added the Ritish Empire -

Light Heavyweight to his collec- tions of titles.

In the Welterweight and Fly- weight division there are two new title holders! Lloyd Gordon of St. John is the undisputed Flyweight

Rafings:

Champion and in the Welter- ’

weight division Norm Gautreau of Moncton decisioned defending champion Keith Paris and suc- cessfully ‘defended the crown against the former champion in a 10 round slug fest at Moncton N. B. later in the year.

During the year 46 profes-

L sional cards were staged in the

Maritimes as compared to only '25 last year. No less l'.hI8Il- 108 boxers were’ active during the year 20 of those saw action out- side of the Maritimes.

Now lets go into the job of ranking the fighters on the basis of their achievements in 1957 once again it is necessary to impress on everyone interested in this compilation that the rat- ings are based soley and entire- ly on what was done in 1957 only the results from’ January 1957 to December 1957 are counted. ~

DETROIT (AP)—Sid Abel, who centred Detroit's greatest Na- tional .Hockey League forward line, returned to the Red Wings Thursday as ‘coach following Jimmy Skinner’: unexpected res- ignation.

Skinner said Thursday he quit on the advice of his physician,

‘Dr. Milton L. Kosley, who had

,been treating him for persistent imigraine headaches. Skinner took iover the Red Wings 31/2 seasons ago and led them to two first iand one second place finish.

, Detroit, however, has been un- able to get going in customary fashion this season and is tied with Toronto for fourth place in the six-team NHL with 13 won, 17 lost and 7 tied for 33 points. Montreal, at the top, had 49 Points.

FAN INTEREST DIES

Detroit fans quit jamming Olympia Stadium. There had been rumors Skinner might go, but no one had predicted it as quickly as .it happened. \

Abel was a star for the Red Wings f1'om 1938 through 1952 and was among the NHL‘s top 10 scor- ers five seasons. He centered the famed Production Line that in- cluded Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay on the wings. I-Lowe still is a Detroit standout. Lindsay

Charlottetown Royals Tie

The Charlottetown Royals fail- ed to break the jinx that the Sum- merside Aces hold over them and had to settle for a 6-6 tie in a Mar- itime Senior League Hockey game played at the Sports Arena last night.

In their last four meetings with the Aces the Royals have collected only one point out of a possible eight, the three defeats at the hands of the Aces dumped the Royals out of first place in the lea- gue but after yesterday‘s game they now trail the Amherst Ramb- lers by only one point.

Spy Ready and Buck Whitlock each scored two goals for the Royals while Kip Ready and Art Perry collected singles.

Lorne Hennessey and Billy Hughes each scored a brace for the Aces while Wally Shepherd and Vance Harris rounded out the scoring.

The ‘Royals jumped into an early lead half-way through the first period with Spy Ready getting his first tally of the night. Ready broke away from the rest of the pack and came hi all alone on Thane Mann to score.

Both Thanés made great saves during the period. Thane Doyle Doyle stopped the Summerside at- tack cold while Thane Mann was almost as good in between the pipes for the Aces. _ _

There was no more s('.0l‘ll‘lS In the period although both teams pressed hard and just missed scoring on many occasions. PULL AHEAD

The Royals added another goal to their lead early in the second stanza with Kip Ready teaming up with Whitlock. Ready took a pass from the Old Lamplighter while standing at the side of the Aces net and his hard shot found
