DETROIT tAP)—-Alex Delvec- chio scored in the last 10 seconds of play Sunday night and enabled SPORTS FRONT By PIUS CALLAGHAN USUALLY THE challenger for any world boxing crown is the sentimental favourite with the cash customers. It was most certainly the case when Don Jordan tangled 'with the champion of the world welterweights at Los Angeles Friday night. When the champion does lose, personally. we always feel a bit sorry for him after putting up a game display. Many champs have been relieved of their crowns and nearly all of them went down only after a courageous exhibition. We can’t say the same for Virgil Akins after Jordan had taken his world welterweight title away firom him the other night. If ever a champion came up with a poor show, it was this same Mr. Akins. WE STARTED WATCHING the fight with no particular in terest in the outcome. Naturally after reading what the experts had said about it. we concluded it was really in the bag for Akins. We were interested to see how long Jordan would stay with the champion; how long he would be able to endure the terrific punishment that Akins is supposed to be capable of ‘ dishing out. As the fight progressed, we wondered when the champion was going to start. After fifteen rounds hadn’t started and on our card he didn't win a round. However, Akins did outshine Jordan in one department and that was the ‘art’ of fighting a firstaclass dirty fight. He wrest- led, he held, he gorged and he butted but Jordan took it all and kept coming in on the former champion. Akins appeared to have hit low on several occasions but nothing he could do was able to halt Don Jordan’s march to the welterweight cham- pionship of the world. AS WE REMARKED earlier. we had no particular interest In the eventual ouhcome (that’s before the fight started); how- ever, we soon changed our view and became solid Jordan fans. It wasn‘t because Don was the challenger but solely because Akins was giving out with the cheapest display we have ever seen a champion come up with. We admit that we were afraid that Akins wold get in one rugged punch that would erase all the bombarding Jordan had done all through the fight. We wanted Akins beaten and anyone we talked to since the title bout was in full agreement with our way of thinking. Had Akins come up with one solid punch that would have knocked out Jordan. It certainly would have been a great pity. To think that a guy who had fought such a lousy fight would wind up as still champion of the world was really sickening. Akins deserved no plaudits for the unsuccessful defence he made. He tried just about every mean trick he knew ;to keep his crown but it wasn‘t enough-mot nearly enough. It was indeed a great thing for boxing that Jordan emerged the victor. Justice did prevail after all. FORMER MAJOR league executive Larry MacPhail has some thoughts which he recently expressed out loud in con— nection with the Washington Senators. This is MacPhail talking “It’s amazing to me that Washing- ton has supported a perennial second division club as long as it has. The team has been operated on a second division basis, with money being taken out instead of being put in. They don’t spend any money Washington has a bad park and a bad club. I don‘t know the percentage of government workers there, but its large and it represents steady income. Washington would be a wonderful baseball city with a good stadium and a good team. The city has all the potential anybody could ask for." It would appear that Larry would like to have his finger in the Washingtmi pie. SATURDAY'S ALL-STAR football classic certainly didn't do anything to increase interest in the game in years to come. People stayed away from Hamilton’s Civic Stadium by the thou- sands and it was indeed a sorry sight to view those empty stands as we watched in comfort in our own living room. After the Grey Cup fixture. folks are not going to go out and freeze to watch two teams play an exhibition game, Sure, the best football players in the country are there, but who cares whether the west or east emerge as winners. Saturday’s disappointment----and it must have been a big one for those promoting the game for such an eXcellent cause-u will lead, we are sure, to some change come 1959. It seems most regrettable that an all-star classic created so little en- thusiasm. Oh, yes. the west did win 9-3. Probably somebody did care about the result. Personally, we fell asleep in the middle of the proceedings. That's how excited we were about the outcome. Imagine dozing off during the Grey Cup affair or a world series game or a Stanley Cup battle. No, we can‘t imagine any such thing happening.

The tie‘was a bitter setback for‘ Glenn Hall, who stopped 38 of his ex-teamtmates‘ shots in a brilliant exhibition of goal tending. Hall had no chance on Delvec- chio's goal. The goalie was pro. tecti‘ng one side of the net against Norm U‘l-lvman when a weird bouncing puck came to Delvec- chlo, and the veteran left wing flipped it over Hall‘s out- stretched body. The Hawks built up a 2—0 lead. on the first period goal by Ed Litzenlberger, who got a 30~footer through Sawchuk's pads, and a second period goal by former Red Wing Lorne Ferguson.

The Canadian: dominated play throughout the game as they made it five wins in the last six games, the other ending in a tie. The loss was the bling Bruins. The Montreal scorers were Ber- Guy Talbot and Henri Richard. Boston's lone goal was scored by Vic Stasiuk, the 100th of his NHL career, in the second: period. Geoffrion’s effort was classy, He trapped his own rebound off Boston goalie Don Simmons while nearly beyond the cage at 18:15 of the first period. McDonald‘s goal at 2:01 of the second period would have been enough for the victory. Fed by Tom Johnson, he carried all the way into the Boston end and fired a hard, 20-footer past Simmons into the far corner of the net. Stasiuk put Boston within one goal of a tie at 9:51 of the same period, poking an eight-footer by Plante from directly in front of the goal. But Canadiens got that back at 11:18 when Talbot whistled one by Simmons from near the blue line. Henri Richard skated in on Simmons 47 seconds after the start of the third period for the game's final goal. He was fer. by Dickie Moore who batted the puck from a Boston player. The Pocket Rocket aimed carefully from about 18 feet. SUMMARY First period: 1. Montreal. Geof- lt‘rion LMthonaldJ 18:15. Penal‘ ,ties: Flaman 5:58. T. Johnson 10:19. Moore 14:38, Stasiuk 15:57.

The shutout was a sweet one and a hard—earned one for Tor- onto goalie Johnny Bower. It was his second of the season. Bower had a chance to play for the Rangers a couple of seasons back, but Ranger coach Phil Wat— son decided he wasn‘t good enough. But Sunday night he blocked 28 shots. some of them near impossible stops. Duff's goal at 14:54 of the last period broke the back of the Ranger attack. The Rangers pep- pered Bower hard after Billy Har- ris provided a 1-0 lead in the first period and it appeared just a matter of time until a shot went In. The game was clean despite the hard play. with Toronto getting three penalties and the Rangers two. It was while Dean Prentice was sitting out a penalty in the first period that Harris scored.
