P. Island Ilorsemen Hold Annual Meetings The annual meetings of the Prince Edward Island Harness Racing Circuit Club and the Prince V Edward Island Harness Protective Association were held in the City Hall last evening with horsemen present from .various parts of the province. Both were excellent meetings with good discussions taking up over two hours and with many subjects considerably clarified as a result. The P. E. I. Harness Racing Cir- cuit Club meeting was presided over by the president. Charles F. Willis whose report reviewed tne activities of the past year. The secretary-treasurer D.K. MacLeod read the financial report which showed a small bank balance. Discussion took place regarding dates for the season's racing on out-of-town tracks and the follow- ing dates were claimed: Montague June 20; suinmerside.

Representatives were not pres- ent from Kinkora, Riverside or Springfield but each of these will hold races, Riverside claiming Thanksgiving Day, October 8, Matters discussed included class- ification of horses, purses. number of horses to start in a race, etc. Most of the members present joined in the discussion. A feature of the meeting was the presentation of the Hawley Crockett Trophy by President Charles F. Willis to Roy Bevan, co-owner with Wendall Barbour of Josedale Clipper, 2.081Kz, highest point winner on the Island circuit in 1950. It had been held the pre- vious year by Harold Cudmore, owner of Prince Budlong. George Maclntyre, proprietor of the Montague track stated that he was putting on a June 20 meet- ing to give horsemen a chance of making an early start at winning more money. Clifford MacDonald said that Harold Cvaudet, proprietor of Suinmerside Raceway, put up s1,000 for free-for-all providing that it had six starters and 5500 for the other classes for Dominion Day, July 2. At the close of the above meet- ing the P.E.I. ,,Horsemen's Pro- tective Association, which is com- posed of all owners of race horses in the Province, was held. Its ob- ject is the giving of financial help in the payment of hospital and doctors bills to Island drivers in- jured while driving Island own- ed horses on a Maritime track or any driver driving on an Island track. The President. Dr. R. F. Sea- man presided and called on the secretary-treasurer W. V. Steven- son who read a full report on the organization of the association. He also submitted a financial statement showing the sum of 54,- 302.07 on hand in the bank.

After considerable discussion it was decided to continue the two per cent deduction on purses on all Island tracks this season and that the association be incorporat- ed. It was felt by all present that both associations had been well handled by capable officers and directors and were doing a lot of good for harness racing here. Among the members present were: Charles F. Willis, Dr. R. F. Seaman; D. K. MacLeod; W. V. Stevenson; Jack Ladner, Willard Kelly, Hugh Simpson, Don Sea- man, Rola-nd Wood, Harold Cud- more, Col. D. A.

His Worship stated that he was greatly interested in the sport and advised them to work togeth- er. He said that he hoped at some future date to own a good trotler or pacer and had already gone so far as to provide a stall for the future occupant.

SPECIAL JUNGLE Disappoinlimen-t prevailed among many of the officials and fans who attended the boxing bouts at the Forum on Tuesday night. A fiasco in the ninth round of a main bout between Cobey iM.c-Closkey and Yvon Durelle was the contribut- ing factor that brought about many comments and suggestions on the need of a Provincial boxing com- mission. The promoters of the fight card and the participants in the preliminaries and semi-final bouts leading up to Lhe main event can in no way be held responsible for the unfortunate incident that occurred to mar an otherwise in- teresting evening of boxing enter- lainment. 0 I The first three bouts gave the some 1,000 fans in attendance good clean action, and they were particularly looking forward to the main event which under nor- mal circumslanccs should have been the bout of the night. One and all, however. were doomed for disappointment. Rated as the two best middleweights in the Maritimes at the present time, Mc- Closkey and Durclle started out in a manner that pointed towards a good scrap until the latter part of the second round. Pinning Du- relle on the ropes just at the bell, Mccloskey disregarded the warn- ing that the round was over and continued to pummel his oppon- ent with both hands before tne referee broke it up. I C 0 That was the start of open hos- tilities that go sleadily rougher until by the ninth round broke out in a complete ruckus. Losing steadily on points from the sec- ond round on under the clean. hard punch-ing of Durelle, Mc- Closkey resorted to tactics of a type confined to the wrestling games to put his opponent over the ropes in an apparent hurl. condition. When referee Longs- phie tried to break it up, Mc- Closkey went after him too with flailing fists, and shortly after that dove through the ropes after a spectator. followed by his two seconds. Why he was allowed to return to the -ring after that to continue the round will always remain the S64 dollar question to many sport followers in attend- an-ce, but that is how it was. but didn't last. for long. After another short flurry involving tactics con. trary to any boxing rule book, the fight was stopped and called a "no contest” by the referee. O O O Interviewing the three judges after the fight. all expressed their disappointment over the incident.- Judge John Cameron stated that! it was "the most disgraceful thing I have ever seen. I saw Mocioskey foul at least a half dozen times. He should have been disqualified on a number of counts." Mr. Cameron. who has been judging boxing here and elsewhere for a good many years. said "I gave the first two rounds to McCloskey and the rc-st were Dureile all the way." John F. Connolly, another judge, gave only one round to lVIcCloskey grid the rest to Durclle. "I gave the first rousd to McCloskey." he said, "but took the second one away -7 By Rouseng rut: GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN By The Canadian Press Those wonderful Chicago White Sox. who can't do anything wrong these days, tripped Washington Senators 4-2 Wednesday for their fifth straight American League victory. An obscure rightshandet. Lou Kretlow. turned in the front-run- ning White sox' 19th victory in 21 games. Winning his first game in al- most four years. Kretlow held the Senators to four hits. His mates sewed up the game with a two- run burst against Con Marrero in the third inning. As the White Sox won. Boston Red Sox continued to lose. They dropped a 6-4 decision to the De- troit Tigers for their fifth straight setback. The result left them 6 1-2 games behind Chicago. In the National League, the high-balling Brooklyn Dodgers stretched their leading margin to also for leaving the ring and jumping into the crowd. He gave boxing here a bad black-eye." O O 0 "it was a riot and should never have happened." stated judge Connolly, "which points up more than ever the need for a boxing commission here to control the sport. If I'd been the promoter I would have held up both purses and given it to the two orphan- ages. The rest of the bouts were very pleasing all the way and I don't feel that Bill Brown was re- sponsible at any time for the poor .show in the main bout. This need not spoil boxing in Charlotte- town." he concluded. "we can get lots of good boys to come in and put on a good clean show." Forum manager Brow-n's comments were brief and to the point when he said ''I feel terrible about the whole thing." The third judge at the contests. Earl Smith of Sum- merside. had also scored Durelle well ahead on points, and although registering disappointment and disgust over the incident, made little other comment. O O C There are many here who share Mr. Connolly's contention that a boxing commission should be set up to govern the sport in this Province, an authorized body that can deal with such incidents as took place at the Forum on Tues- day. Boxing will never survive here if such things continue, and there are many'arden-t followers of the game who would like to see the sport continue. but not under the present set-up. Surely Tuesday night's opisod! should be sufficient to make those of auth- ority realize the need of such an organization and will take the steps necessary in bringing it about. Otherwise good boxing cards will be on the way out, probably for a long time to come. white Sox Win Fifth Consecutive A. L.Victory 5 1-2 games with a 8-2 win overl st. Louis Cardinals. Cincinnati rallied for three runs in the ninth to nip New York Giants 5-4 and prevent the Giants from climbing past st. Louis into second Place. Chicago's two-run fourth inning snapped a 1-1 tie. Chico Car- rasquei drove in the first tally with a single and Kretlow ac- counted for the winning run, belt- ing a. fly ball that scored Jim Busby from third. A five-run blast and a,drlvlng catch by George Keli gave Detroit its victory over the Red Sox. Lefty Bob Cain relieved in the ninth, when Boston scored three times, and was the winner. With the Tigers ahead 6-4 and the bases loaded with two out in the ninth. Kell stabbed Lou Boudreau's hot liner as it pased third base. Lone bright? spot for Sox was Dom DiMa.ggio's It ran his hitting streak straight games. The Brooklyn-St. Louis game was played under protest when Charley Dressen, Brooklyn's man- ager, was found in a box seat be- hind the Dod-gers' bench after having been ejected in the fifth inning. Dressen had objected to a called ball on Peanuts Lowrey, and umpire Art Gore gave him the heave-ho. Branca turned in his third straight victory since being rein- stated as a starting pitcher. Roy Campaneiia sent the Brooks winging with a two-run homer in the second inning. Campy also drove in the final run in the fourth inning on a fly ball. The Giants were all set to climb into second place, but Luke Sewell's Reds had other ideas. Held hitless for six innings by the southpaw slants of Mnntla Ken- ney. Cincinnati broke loose with four hits in the big ninth inning. It brought the Reds up to the .500 mark. one-half game behind the Giants. Sport, Briefs DETROIT.

By Order of the JUNE 7, 1951 Sports Forum ISLAND BOXING Sir. - The long term bjeotive of many Island boxing fa , and um" i 0 has been to increase interest in boxing by showing the clean sportsmanship that is is def- inite requirement in any athletic contest. setbacks have been fre- quent. Unfortunately the game de- mands an overt display of prim- itive traits. Men realize that un- controllable pugnacity is not con- fined to the ring. l.e.. people have been punched in the nose in par- lors and parliaments. The avid fan does realize tht the boxing bout is the some of great physical and mental strain. The fighter is often a machine tuned to offence and defence against a similar .machine. Ra- tional rules of social behaviour must be subjugated to the "fight- er's instinct" when men are train- ed to fight. Nevertheless. the dividing line between fighting and boxing is a set of rules by the Marquis of Queensbury, et. al. The rules serve for mutual protection. If the of- ficials do not have the authority to enforce rules, the boxer is liable to severe injury. The main event at the Forum Tuesday night was not excep- tional, it has merely stimulated memories of similar incidents in the same ring. Mccloskey is not entirely to blame considering all the factors. Durelle did begin unfair tactics, e.g.. punching in infighting after the bell ended the first round. However. after observing the ninth round fracas. it's obvious thatgdis- clpllne in local rings is an out- moded determent for many. The only hope for Island boxing is a Boxing Commission. affiliated with the Canadian Boxing Feder- ation. A few feet from the apron of the ring sat men who could be ideal supervisors. A group of these men can lift local boxing from its trend toward oblivion. Evidently I have been challeng- ed by the Mccloskey clan. If I decide to fight in the Maritimes again I shall accept the challenge- Thank you, Mr. Editor, for space. I am. Sir. etc.- JINX JENKINS Charlottetown. June 6th.. 1951. .----m-m- SOUTH FALLSBERG. N.

June 6 -(GP)- National Hockey Leaslle OM19” came out of a long in eting today amid .a flock of repor and rum- ors about rule changes and player deals. The owners had no announce- ments. lBut it seemed a good bet that at least several rule changes will be made by the 1easue's sov- ernors when they meet tomorrow. What may -be done about the length of the playing schedule remained conjectural. There was some talk that the 70-game sched- ule, in effect two seasons. will be retained. There was also talk that American clubs which have sut- fered a drop in attendance would be receptive to return to a 60- game schedule. one rule change that apeared likely to go through would re- place the two face-off circles in the ice corners at each end of the ice surface with a larger circle in front of each goal. This scheme may be tried out first in exhibition games and the all-star game before next season officially opens. Another likely change would cut the number of players who may be dressed for a game from 17 to 16 exclusive of goaltenders. still another would deal with icing the puck. but the change would be comparatively mlnor. It was understood that the oft- recurring suggestion for eliminat- ing the centre-ice red line didn't get far. The owners didn't wind up their meeting until lute in the day. Most owners, with other club representatives went from the meeting to the govemors' meeting which was immediately adjourned until tomorrow.
