Most local sporting activities con- tinued to take a beating from the! weatherman yesterday when henvyl showers persisted throughout the day, and although the Junior Leag-

uers, Kinsmen and Victorias, brav-

ed the elements to get in their Wednesday's postponed game, all other sporting enthusiasts remain- ed inside in favor of better weather. O O O O Although no scheduled sporting features were rained out yester- day, all phases of sport have been pretty well inconvenienced due to rain this week, with two horse rac- ing meets and three ball games sidelined on Wednesday, and if the fine weather doesn't break through soon, schedules will become soI overlapped that it will take quite, a few days to straighten them‘

away again. O

However, as the saying goes "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good". The farming centres are getting the benefit of the much needed rain for their crops, and at

really full program of sporting events in quick cession when the weather does break for the better, as sporting officials will be running off all the events they can to catch up their schedules. O O O O

The individual sporting enthus- iast; such a; golfers and tennis players have also been forced to lay their clubs and racquets aside awaiting better weather, but the layoff will no doubt only add to the enthusiasm they will put into their favourite sport when good weather will allow them to resume Play

again.

O O O O

Despite the fact that the City Juvenile Basketball League termin- ated its play some two months aZO without completing the reslllflr schedule, they resumed play again on Wednesday night on the Cun- dall Home floor in order to clean up their schedule and declare a winner, The game saw the Juvenile Abbies take the Ramblers into camp by a score of 37-22 to further increase their lead in the league standing.

The team will leave by spe- cial bus from the local terminus at 1.30 p.m., and officials stated that there are some 15 tickets available at the Travel Bureau fol local fans who wish to make the trip by bus with the team.

"If there's anything that will keep turnstiles clicking happily. it's having a ‘Showboat.’ on the program" states a recent report from Toronto. “Perhaps the best example of this in modern sport." the report continues, "ls the way the late Babe Ruth saved base- ball in the United States after the Chicago Black Sox scandal in 1919.

CHICAGO, June 23 -— (AP)- Ezzaird Charles, enriched by $53,- 857.30 and the N.B.A. share of Joe Louis’ vacated heavyweig tcrown, today made plans to eet the winner of London's Sept. 8 Lee Savold-Bruce Woodcock fight for the undisputed crown.

“I'm not going to fight no Gus Lesnevich," said Jake Mintz, one of the four managers of the new champ, "no Joey Maxim. I'm go- ing to accept the challenge of the Savold-Woodcock winner.

"I ain't doing nothing without the okay of the I.B.C. (Internat- ional Boxing Club) or Markson (New York 1.8.0. Boxing director.) \

Charles, wearing a slight patch over his left eye and an egg-sized mouse underneath the orb, ap- peared at a downtown hotel to accept the Police Gazette belt, de- signating hlm as world champ.

eats C- 6? B. At S’side

In the smoothest fielding game played in Summerside this year,‘ the R..C.A.F‘., behind Murphy's 5-bit‘ pitching, defeated the Curran a; Briggss nine last evening by the score of 4 to 1. Murphy, a new- comer to Island baseball, kept. the Curran at Briggs boys in subjec- tion pretty well throughout the contest. allowing yore than one hit only in the fourth frame when the C. 8r. B. club got their lone tally. Daley also pitched well, but the Airmen bunched four hits off him in the fifth inning and scor- etzd three runs, their margin of vic- ory. _

The F.C.A.1". shoved a run across in their half of the fourth inning. Hume led off with a bingle through short field. went to second on an infield out, to third i‘ on a wild pitch. and "Ose" Carson's sharply hit bingie brought him home. The construction crew pulled up on even terms by setting s counter in their half of the same inning. With two out, Joe Bernard doubled to left centre and Stewart sent him across with s. single between first and second.

1n the fifth inning the Flyers won the ball game. Freddie Foy started off with s well-tagged double, Cox singled blm home, and after Lamy struck out, Murphy's binglo just inside the left field foul line scored Cox. S. Bernard jug- gled Humeu roller and the catcher was safe ou first. Lyon whlffed. and Carson was walked intention- ally filling the sacks. Baron then came through with s. bit through short which soot-ed MuXPY. but Hume was nipped at the plate when Joo Bernard relayed the ball through Landry to Allen.

There was no scoring during the last four innings. but some very steady fielding on the part of both lnflelds livened u-p the play.

Poulton Gets Otter lo Fight ln New Yplk

It was learned yesterday that" Harry “Kld" Pouiton, Island wel- terweight boxlng champion has been offered a chance to go to the State of New York to con- tinue on his boxing career.

The offer came in the form of s letter from a boxing promoter by the name of Nat Forman of Brooklyn, N.Y.. who states: "I would like to know if you car_a to come here to New York City and box under my personal man- agement. You will be handled with good care and be in a position to be developed into a successful fighter. Here the boys get fifty dollars for four rounds, and one hundred dollars for six rounds. As you know, here is the place for a fellow if he wants to do well in the boxing game. If you were here, I would start you in the six round bouts, and lhen we could judge when to go into the eight round bouts."

In a brief interview with Poul- ton last night he stated that he was "definitely interested in the offer" as he felt that it would be at least a great opportunity to gain experience even if he doesn't stay there permanently.

Harry further stated that do was answering the letter to ex- tend his willingness to accept the offer but that he is not planning to go to New York until after his scheduled bout with a mainland opponent as the semi-final attrac- tion on the Alvin Upshaw-Bear- cat Jackson scrap at Bridgewater. N. S.. on July first, as well as a possible return match with Red Graham. whom he K.O.'d a couple of months ago but lost a decision nthin a second match on June
