Dispute Arises Over ‘Can. Participation In Title Series

yWorld

NDON. Nov. 2B - (OP Cable) Lohuthorltative British hockey

g-lumel said today a situation dis- phu has arisen between the Can- adian Amateur Hockey Association “d the luws ational foe Hockey Associatiml over Canadian partic- lpatlon in the world ehampionlhip series scheduled to b0 held IE yrague Feb. i548. 1947.

The sources said that the 1111A. whose president is Dr. W.G. Hardy o1 Edmonton desires to nominate the Canadian team and some go as fur as to mention that the As- sociaiion would like Edmonton Flyers of the Western Canada Senior 1.058116 d! Th0 100m.

It is rumored hero that the CA. l-LA. has in mind Winnipeg Mon- srchs, lust season's Canadian Jun- ior Champions and Memorial Cup winner, but it is pointed out that many of the players are not with the club this season.

The series is to be held under the direction of the International lce Hockey Federation and thil. according to the authoritative sources, gives little chance to Dr. Hardy's organization to name the Canadian representative.

"I can tell you right now," one highly-placed inforrnant- told the Canadian Press. "that if a Canad- iai team is entered for the cham- pio ships, it must be a C.A.K.A. club. Any other club will not be accepted."

No Entry Received

Canada received an invitation in September to participate and, g1. ihough transportation was reserv- ed on the Queen Elisabeth, ‘no iword has been received whether a club will be entered.

“Presumably a little behind‘the soznts var-angle is going on in Can. sdn," the informant said. "We'd like some word because we have a tentative schedule arranged (os- a "m! 0! Barnes and the silence la slightly discouraging." i

A team, not officially announced Yo; has been entered to represent the United States by. Walter Brown, vice-president of the United 32:05 Amateur Hockey Associa.

Providing arrangements can be worked out at a meeting ihatrnay be held today, it is likely that local hockey fans will be watch- ing a Burrunerside team taking part in the City Hockey League this season, and that if it dcea come about will definitely add a lot of interest to what is alrearb shaping up as a very interesting league.

l» 1|- 0 i Sumrnerslde officials were in touch with local hockey heads yesterday. relative to t-he above matter. The Summcrside entry are definitely interested in par- taking in league games but so far the matter is in the embryo stage and will have to wait for further developments before anything de- flnite is forthcoming.

Local officials themselves, we believe, would look upon a Bum- rnerside entry in a favorelble light. It would revive the old Summerside-Charlottetown rivalry and would add much more un- certainty as to the outcome of the league tussles. We take it, however, judging from two years ago when Summer-side Air Force were mernbe s of the league, that this present Summerside team would be asked to play all their games in Charlottetown. Whether or not the prospective new ent- rant can see their way clear to doing this still remains to be seen and this will-likely be one 0'1‘ the main matters that will be. discussed when a meeting of rep- resentatives c_an be arranged.

The scrap should give McClus- key a real tough test, and Bunny realising this, is back in strict training for the bout. Halifax fans may also see something new on the same night when Cobey and Tom, both holders of Mari- time amateur titles at present, may be seen on the same card as their brother.

‘Iburo, who has scored 5s goals in its eight games - more than any other team in the lesmlb - now leads Moncton Hawks by a single point. At the under end of the ladder, Crescents, who have won but e. third of their six starts and scored fewer goals than any other club. will be after a badly-

Two Boxers Suspended

MIAMI. Fla... Nov. 26 -(AP)- The Miami Boxing Ccmanissicn fined Eddie (Red) Cameron. Miami heavyweight, and Jerry Berthiaume, Montreal heavy $100 each last night and suspended them for the rest of 1946 for “unsportsmanlike action in the ring."

Referee Eddie Coachman stopped their scheduled 10-round fight mid- way in the fifth round and ruled it “no contest." Coachman said butt- ing and kicking by both fighters caused him to take such action.

After six polkemen had cleared the ring and escorted both fighters to their dressing rooms, Coachman said:

“Berthiaume butted Red over the eye and Bed started using his head. I broke them and said I'd throw them both out if they didn't stop lt. Tlhey started all over again, so I stopped it."

Montgomery Wins From Mouzon By Kayo To Retain Lightweight Title

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26_(AP) -(AP)—Bobcat Bob Mor-‘gomery, the Phi delphia Negro flaiier who always the “big ones" held on to his world lightweight chmp. lonahip tonight by flattening his knockout conqueror of a few Klimt-h! B80. Wesley Mouzon, in the eighth round before a standing- FwlIl-Ollly crowd in Convention Hall.

Montgomery weighed 185; Mou- son 132 3-4.

The "SRO" sign was out early in this big west Philadelphia arena, with a. total of 12.416 cllfltcmers present. They contributed to a Philadelphia indoor fight gate rec- ord of $86,414, ecllpsingihe$57,199

Joe Louis and Gus Dorazio drew five years ago. Getting off to a. slow start

against his 19-year-old local rival who started like a streak of dark brown lightning, Montgomery found the range starting with the fourth and put Wesley to sleep for the full "ten" with a swinging left hook at 2 minutes, 18 seconds of the eighth round of what was to have been a IS-rounder.

The Associated Press score card showed the 27-year-old boss of the 131-pounders—he is recognized in New York and Pennsylvania-hav- havlng a shade the best of ii: with four of the seven completed heats.

Mouzon, looking as if he was go- ing to pick up where he left off in August when he stiffened Bob in two heats, galloped in. with the first three rounds tonight, before Montgomery caught up with him.
