As was the case last season box- ing again this coming summer is going to take place on a large scale at the Form. . Manager C.1=‘. Archer stated yesterday. The first card is likely to take place around the middle of May and will con- tinue until the early Fall months.

As was the case last season. headliners in the various divisions will be contacted and already many inquiries have been received as to when the program will commence. Boxing probably enjoyed Its best summer season here last year with big names both in the fight busin- css and refereeing roles showing their wares.

That the game will go over in a big way was readily seen by the big increase in the crowds at- tending; they weren't of any re- curd breaking proportions butnev- ertheless Promoter Archer felt that a fine start had been made and is confident that with such Mari- tlme performers as George “Rock- abye" Ross, Len Wadsworth, Joe Pyle and Ace McCloskey, to men- tlon a few, plus outstanding Unit- ed States mltt artists performing. the game in the coming months will be put on a solid foundation ensuring the success of coming seasons

Incidentally we note by a. Mari- time exchange that Ross will tan- gle with Wadsworth for the for- mer's Canad-ian middleweight. crown in a Glace Bay ring. it will be Ross‘ big chance. The New Water- ford boy has piled up a string of successes since starting out on his latest comeback effort and should he get by the ageing but. never- theless still capable Wadsworth he will certainly have earned a shot at bigger game. But Wadsworth, judging by the performance he turned in here early last fall, is

going to prove plenty, plenty tough. '0 '0 '0 4' "Ace" McCioskey is back in

'1' '0 i- '0 The fights he did lose were not due to the punching of opponents but rather to the recurrence of‘ eye fnjuriesthat have held up the Ace's campaigns in the past. It is a another case of a good fighter being sidelined by scar tissue‘ forming above the eyes. 'I' 4' 'l' 'l' At the present time Ace will take a two-months’ rest in an endeavor to heal the optics and when the boxing gets back in full swing in the Maritimes he will be back clamoring for a chance against Wadsworth for the Canadian mid- dle title- Of course by that time Ross may have dethroned the champion but McCloskey will glad- iy take on all cofners; he always has been that way and always will as long as he can toss leather. 4' '0 '0 0 At the present time and since the closing of the Forum sport ha: been at a low ebb locally but al- ready baseball talk is beginning to be heard and officials of the City Baseball League are pecfcd to call their annual me Ing shortly in an endeavor to get. as early a start as possible.

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTIETOWN

Jack Pounds Out III-Round Decision

Over Johnny

(By W. B. Wheafley)

MONTREAL. April 9 — (CF)- Beau Jack, former world 118T}!- weight champion, won a closely- fought slugging match over Johnny Greco, Canadian welterweigl" champion. here tonight.

The Augusta, 6a.. New had more in reserve at the finish and was throwing more solid punches.

Jack gave away nearly seven pounds. weighing 139 1-4 to Green's 146.

It was the third meeting of the pair. They drew in the first Mad- ison Square Gorden appearance and Jack won their next meeting in the Garden ring.

The Beau really got ills drive under way in the sixth round when he varied the close-fighting, hard- swinging style that both had been using by jabbing with light. lefts until he had Greco in position for a walloping right.

Greco’s best rounds were the second and third although there was little choice between tile two fighters most of the distance.

The judges were close in their voting, Judge Johnny Gow gave Beau Jack five rounds, Greco four. and one even. Judge Rene Ouimet gave each Jack and Greco four with two even. Judge Leo Ger- main gave five to Jack, two to Greco and three even.

Unofficial reports gave the gate as $52,000, which would set a new Canadian record. bettering the mark of just under $50,000 set by Greco and Dave Castilloux when the former took the Welter title from the veteran Castilloux two years ago.

K-O. Joe Pyle of New Waterford. N.5., showed his class In soorink a clean cut kncokout over rugged Ruby Margolln of Sherbrooke in the third round of a scheduled six round bout, put on after the Jack- Greco main bout.

The Maritime negro was always master of the situation.

The first round was fairly tame and Pyle began taking the lead in the second.

In the third he began connect- ing with smashing rights and Mar- golin went down for nine counts before the final solid right sent him down and out In the middle of the ring. Pyle gave away four pounds, weighing 146 to Margolln's 150. Fernando Gagnon, bantam, and flywelght champion of Canada. won by a. third round technical knockout over Frankie Pucci 0 Toronto in the semi-final. ‘

Gagnon weighed 119 and Puccl 120%. The bout was stopped when when Puccl‘: badly cut left eye was examined between the second and third rounds

Carey Mace. 148%, Hartford. Conn, slugged out an easy six- round decision over Elf Deloache. 145, New York, in another prelim- fnary.
