Backsirom Likely To Nail Down Berth Wi’rh Champs MONTREAL (CP) — R alp h Backstrom, 20-year-old (forward, is fast shaping up as the second player within three years to hop from junior hockey ranks to a regular berth with the starry Montreal Candiens. When Canadians finished Fri- day’s workout, after nearly two solid weeks of training camp \ practice sessions and exhibition games, Backstrom was at the top of the scoring list with 15 goals and 16 assists for 31 points. Closest to him was Don Mar- shall. a centre who has been more of a standout in defensive and penalty-killing roles in his four seasons in the National Hockey League. Marshall’s pro duction stood at 13 goals and 16 assists. _ Three years ago Henri (Pocket Rocket) Richard, brother of the illustrious Maurice, jumped from the junior Canadians to the pro club and immediately became a star. , READY FOR BIG TIME Many observers at the current training camp predict Backstom can do the same thing. He comes up this season as a graduate also from Canadians juniors. ‘ There was also speculation that the young native of Kirkland Lake, Ont, may nail down the open leftwing job. Normally a centre, he has played at every Forward - line position in junior hockey and also on defence. At present the competition is wide open between Backstrom and Alvin McDonald, a farmhand brought up from Rochester Amer- icans of the American Hockey League. The sideshow tussle continues tonight when Canadians and Ro- .chester meet here in an exhibi- tion game. Centre Phil Goyette will be an absentee because of a severe chest cold. He will likely miss S u n d a» y afternoon’s exhibition game in Ohicoutimi against the Sagueneens of the Quebec Hockey League. Withinthe last couple of days coach Toe Blake has turned over tour players from Can-adiens’ training-camp squad to Roches- ter. They are forwards Bo El-ik, Billy Carter and Murray Balfour and defence-man Irvin Spencer. WANTS BETTER LOOK Blake said they haven’t been Argos Meet Rough Riders Today; 5th Hopes On Knox OTTAWA (CH—Toronto Argo. nauts are scheduled here today in a Big Four football league game against Q t t a w a Rough Riders, and this time the Argos have the controversial Ronnie Knox in tow.

PIUS CALLAGIIAN AR S OIHTT racing season of 1958 comes to on end as far as Charlottetown Driving Park is concerned. . It has been a great season from the spectators’ pomt of View with many thrilling drives and finishes provided for the folks who wended their way to the local speedway. The pacing and. trotting records weren’t seriously challenged but the fans were not too disappointed by that. Many good miles were raced and the over-all picture was 'as good, if‘not better, than in former years. The weather was just especially were run off about tops all through the season and during Old Home Week when eleven race programs Without the loss of a single dash. If the track offi- cials had the arranging of the weather themselves they cer- tainly could not have come up with a better layout. AFTER 7 TONIGHT race fans with memories of the past few months. on the Island must be content It’s a long haul till next June when the local track swings into operation once again. Any racing that will be done from here till June \1959 Will be done in the stables where race-conscious folks gather to spin their tales of races that are now history. dashes will take place in those stables and gathering places. The opinions Many re-runs of 1958 other ‘hot stove’ expressed will not meet with unanimous approval and that fact will lead to many heated arguments. OF COURSE MANY local race followers will not call it quits tonight. There’ll be many slipping overi-on weekends to Moncton or Halifax and possibly a few to Sainf John where there’s still a bit of racing to be done. Those folks will be makfiig those jaunts with the hope that pari-mutuel returns in those centres will at least pay their expenses of the trip. For some it will work out that way but for the majority there’ll be no such happy occurrence. The odds are against everybody making a ‘killing’. IT WOULD INDEED be nicerto see a large crowd onW hand tonight to bid goodbye to the 1958 season here. Ladies are being admitted free, so that makes it a bit easier‘on the husband’s or boy friend’s pocketbook. The eight. dashes that are on the menu look'like the very best in the way of racing entertainment. So let’s close up-shop with .a real flourish. Let’s see if we can’t make Charlottetown Driving Park .a real beehive of ac- tivity tonight. ' How about it, race fans?.‘ JOE McCARTHY one-time pilot of the New York Yankees had quite a record going until a guy named Casey Stengel came along and decided to break it. What does Joe, one of the greatest managers of all time, think about the antics of Mr. Stengel? Has' it got him annoyed? Well, we can find out best by listening to Mccarthy himself.» “So Stengel broke my record of eight pennants with the Yankees. No. I'm not disappointed. I’m tickled to death a fella like Casey could do it. He’s a good manager. Gotagood memory. knows ability—right now he's/the best, no question about i ". That doesn’t sound like a jealous man talking. THE EXPERTS have begun on their world series selections and regardless of \which team one chooses to emerge as world champions, there will be opponents to his way of thinking. You can build up a pretty fair case for both the Yankees and Braves because these some teams took seven games last October before the Braves annexed the world championship. Those who are calling for the Braves to repeat remind you of a fellow named Lew Burdette who almost single-handedly beat the powerful Yankees labt tall. Lew won three of the four victories garnered by the Braves and Milwaukee supporters Insist that the Bombers will play dead when they meetup with Lew again. A WE FEEL THAT not even the most ardent Milwaukee fan expects Mr. Burdette to equal his 1957 performance. Therefore they must count on the rest of the mound staff to pick up the slack. We are not suggesting that Burdette is not still a good pitcher. That would be a most ridiculous statement to make. But we are stating that Lew will never repeat the outstanding show when he was able to play the hero’s role in last autumn. The Braves have Billy Bruton this year, who wasn’t around in uniform when Milwaukee clinched the series. Bruton is a most capable outfielder and can hit with plenty of authority. But Wes Covmgton is a question mark and if he, loses too much time from the series the Braves will miss him more than they ever missed Bruton. SURE, WHITEY FORD may not be the Ford of old but the way it‘s shaping up now Stengel may lead with the once-problem child. If he does then you can be sure that Ford is back in shape because Stengel won’t pass up .Turley unless he thinks Whitey is right. Don’t the Braves fans think this Bob Turle is did to be rough? This is the Mr. Turley that made a sevgnth ggamE neces- sary by beating the Haney men in that sixth encounter. Yankee fans are predicting that Bullet Bob will top the Braves twice and we can’t find too much wrong with that line of reasoning. There’s plenty of depth on both pitching staffs and some dark horse could emerge as the pitchin hero of the classic.‘ MICKEY MANTLE and Moose Skowron appear to be in a healthy state and if they are, Burdette, Buhl and all associated had better beware. That pair can break open‘a lot of ball games and they’d like nothing better than to do exactly that to the world champions. Sure Milwaukee has its Aaron and Mathews and plenty more power hitters and in a short series anything can happen. But we don’t think Milwaukee can repeat this fall. That’s certainly In contrast to the opinion of the author of Sport Views and Revxews that appear daily in your afternoon paper. That columnist “will be mildly surprised if the Yanks win more than one game”. We suggest that the ‘usually’ reliable composer of this much-read column prepare immediately fob the shock of the year. . We have never doubted his sincerity in the past though often his predictions have been as wild as ours of calling the Tigers and Dodgers for the world series. However we do think that his admiration for the Haney-managed crew is so great that it has affected his usual judgment. We hope the fog clears before e learns that the Yankees are still in there after five games. And what a jolt he’ll receive t0 the Yanks the new champions. les. pomaps the same columnist find the series completed and (hat predicted that Martinez would stop Akins in seven rounds is wrong Once again. u out from his squad, that he wants to get a look at them in com- petition against regular NIHIL play, ers and any one of them may still make his team. in the training‘c‘amp scoring are Marcel Bjonin with 12 goals and 12 assists, Dickie Moore with 12-9, Maurice Richard with (H4 and Balfour with 10-7. Meanwhile, managing director Frank Selke has continued daily talks with some of the players, signing them up. Those signed Friday are Balfour, Spencer, Car- ter and Bernie (boom Boom) ‘Geofifrion. The only regular still unsigned is defenceman Doug Harvey, per- ennially a late signer. Knox into action later in the game to see if he can earn the $1,000 bill he’s reported to be col- lecting each outing. Knox has a big chore. Argos have met Rough Riders 111 times in two years. They’ve dropped 10 games. g 'llf Knox produces the goods it could cause an upheaval in. the league. Ottawa is in second spot behind Hamilton with six points, Montreal has five and the lowly Argonauts two. An Argo upsurge could quickly create a lively three-way battle for second spot. End Pete O’Garro may also 9 introduced by Argos although coach Hump Pool said Friday he hadn't decided where to use the high-rated import.

"It seems like there always is some- thing the matter with me about this time of year.” Mickey had his fingers crossed when he was talking because the Yanks still have three gems to play with the Orioles. Mantle had as much trouble with Lew Burdette as the rest of the club. He didn’t face him in the 1-0 lifth game but he went hitless in the second and man- aged only a single in four trips in the seventh. “He is really a good pitcher," said Mantle. “He has good con- trol and a good sinker. He keeps the ball down. But I don‘t think he can win in any three games this time.” MILITARY MUSIC The famous Kneller Hall school of military music in England was established in 1857.
