Canadiens To Coach Today;

MONTREAL (CF) -e Montreal Canadiens announced on Tuesday that the new coach will be un-. veiled today. Nobody will be tre- mcudnusly surprised if he looks like Toe Blake.

Blake. the old lamplighter in his National Hockey League play- ing days with Canadiens. has been the man most frequently mention- ed in recent speculation as the successor to veteran Dick lrvin. who moves on to the Chicago Black Hawks.

The latest dark horse to enter! into the guessing is Frank Currie. who has been in Canadians" or- ganization and handled Calgary Itampeders of the Western Hoc-

Sir.--Back in the l9;'.f)'s and the lilltltii one of the most rugged hHtli(?l'S the Maritirnes ever pro-

duted ita: Johnny Xemis. The slick-haired slugger from New Waterford. NS. for eiglltccn

years traded lefts and rights with the best of l,he cauliflower frater- nity from New York to New Wat- arlurri.

Johnny is out of the game now. He hung up his gloves almost sixteen years ago, after battling to a draw with Earl Kinsman of Brunswick. N5. in all Johnny took part in 170 professional fights with only one knockout chalked up against him. The man to turn the trick was Yan- couier's Billy Townsend. At the time Townsend was leading con- tender for the welterweight championship of the world.

Johnny told this observer sev- eral years ngn the hardest pun- cher he faced in his ring career was Jack Nfcxcnna. born at Hope River. PT-T l. Twice he and Mc- Kcllna met: the first time out Nomls won and in the next meet- ing. Jolinrty said. lie. was out onl his foot from the third to the end of tho :rl1N'lill0fl tcti rounder

Gnu of the most to-lrageotisl. boxers this province turned oilt hack in the 1930': was Hickey "Rid" Nickerson. Although only it welterweight. he often did battle with opponent as much as if)- and N pounds heavier than him- self. and often he would come oilt the winner. Hickey possessed I stiff right hand punch as well as being A clever boxer. Among the boxers he traded punches with are Tommv Flayhollrne Carl Prowse. D a n ri v !licCni-mack. Flash MacDonald. Jack Johnston. Jack Kenny and Pat Dnvls.

When Gaston "Rocky" Roy climbs through the ropes June 16 at Fredericton. NB, he will be meeting the stiffest opposition of his career. For his opponent is it rugged. twn fisted battler-known to the fight fails as Tommy "Tor- nsdo" Dixon of New York, This will be Gaston's first ten round bout since he began boxing sev- eral seasons ago. Roy has yet to turn in a dull performance. His fights have all been crowd pleas- lng affairs.

Harry Poulton is scheduled to do battle with Elol Durelie of Ba! St. Anne. N. B.. at Truro. June ll. This will be the second meeting between the pair. Durelie having won the first time out by dehision.

Unveil New May Be Blake

key League last season.

Currie has been in Montreal since the professional leagues met last week and is reported to have conferred with Selke. But Blake was closeted with Selke Monday and is still top man among the guessers. In recent years he has coached teams in the American Hockey League and the Quebec Hockey League.

Other likely candidates men- tioned earlier wera Roger Leger playing coach of Shawlnigan Falls Cataracts, who won the Edin- burgh Trophy in their meeting. with Edmonton Flyers. and Billy Reay. who has been playing coach for Victoria in the WHL.

The way Long figures it. if thc' handsome daughter of stakes win- ner Porter": Cap isn't ready for the big race now she never will be. He will give Baffin Bay. owned by Mrs. R. Y Graiil Jr, of Montreal. only one light gallop bcfore she breaks with a field of a dozen or more thornliglibreds in the lli--mile. classic.

Baffin Bay. leading iiiuliey-win lier in the country last year with earnings of p23.ll:il), has been re- duced to a 10-to-1 choice by the lmiikmakei's. That was on the strength of her'upset victory in her division on the first plate trials at Woodbine May 25.

Baffin Bay, whose daddy was I winner of the Santa Anita Derby and once r:in fourth in the Ken- tllcky Derby. didn't R0 to the post in the second plate trials, held last Friday at a distance of a mile and 70 yards.

In these trials Senator .Iim set himself up as the hot faxorite. He won a smashing stretch-run victory over Fairator in his di- ll.il0n. The Senator now in the 4-to-1 choice for the classic. EXPECTS N0 TROUBLE

Baffin Bay has turned in some good workout times. Her miles have been anywhere from 1:41 to 1:43 and fractions.

Riding Baffin Bay in the Plate will be Dick Buisson. who was aboard when she won the Corona- tions Stakes. top race for two. year-olds, at Woodbine last year.

Baffin Bay didn”t suffer any affects from the shedrow fire at Woiidblue last fall. althollgh she had a narrow escape, Seven other thoroiiglil)reds were killed in the blaze. including two from the Graul stable.

Long doesn't expect hlcs at the gate, either.

Hatfieldis Homer In 12th Gives Garve First Victory In Six Years Over-Yank

threw a roadblock at the with a 12th inning homer as leaders 4-3 and

ended pitcher Ned Graver's six-year losing. streak

against the Yanks.

Hati'ield's homer came off New York's fourth pitcher Tom Sturdivant, and broke up the extra inning game. In going the 12 full innings Garver scattered eight hits.

in the only other afternoon ac- tion Brooklyn Dodgers kept up their full head of steam in the National League as they blanked Cincinnati 4-0.

Seven night games were sched- uled, four in the American and three in the National. Baltimore was at Chicago, Washington was scheduled for two with Kansas City and Boston met Cleveland. in the National it was Milwaukee at New York. St. Louis at Philadelphia and Chicago at Pittsburgh.

Johnny Podres tossed a five-hit- ier and rookie Frank Kellert lashed out three hits in the Dodger vic- tory. Loser was Bud Podblelan. who was removed in the seventh on a Dodger two-run uprising. However, it was the first time in 13 games that the Lambasting Dod- gers failed to hit a home run.

Carver retired the first 11'New York batters in order but the Yan- kees, keeping up their home run streak. jumped to a 3-0 lead in the filth on homers by Eddie Robinson, driving in Mickey Mantle. and by Joe Collins.

even at this early date, that, the cries of pen-

lt ii mild appear.

itant buying that went up fol lowing the purchase of Bob Tur- ley by the New York Yankees last winter were fully justified Turley. who can boast. of an 8-3 record, has turned out to he one. if not the most outstanding pit- cher in the American league. while the five players that have been playing regularly for the Orioles have been something less than outstanding.

Gus Triandos with a 292 aver- age leads the group. and Gene

Wolidllng. who was the ”key man":

in the deal, is strilggllng along with a miserable .206 mark. Willie Miranda is well below .250 and Hal Siiilth, the highly rated rookie catcher is batting only .269. Harry Byrd the fifth player to catch a regular berth with Baltimore, is drawing no raves with his pitt- iiil 4.42 earned run average.

Manager Paul Richards is re- ceiving no plaudits from Balti- more fans for his part in the trade. for it was he who made the final decision to let Turley go. He did so over the anguished pleas of general manager Frank Lane, who insisted that the Orioles should get at least one established star to compensate for be loss of the drawing power of last year's strikeout. king.

What Richards got for his star. was a proven but aging oiltfielder. a good-field no-hit shortstop. an untried rookie catcher. ltn unda- pendable pitcher and Triandos. who at. least has I respectable bat.- ling average. Considering the fick- lPl'lF.Il of present day club owners. unless the Orioles pull up their socks and do hotter than their seventh place finish of last year. it would be no surprise if man- ager Richards is looking for a new ball to-team to boss next year

Meanwhile over in the National League a couple of other man- agers are in the throes of woes. Leo Durocher of the Giants and Charlie Grimm of the Braves -are not one bit happier than the unfortunate Richards. At the be- season many of the experts picked the Braves and the Giants to be waging a three team war with the Dodgers for the pennant. Many. in fact. ruled out the Dodgers, pointing out that they were in dire need of new blood. that they had no pitching. no bench strength and were aging dangerously.

Mild mannered Walt Alsiun of the Dodgers might be excused for smiling slightly now when he looks over his shoulder and at teles- copic distnnce sees. not a band

party of Braves. but a group of young bears from Chicago.

NEW YORK (AP)-Milwaukee's

suddenly come - to - life Bravos harged into third place in the Na- tional League Tuesday night, scor- ing six runs in the second inning and five in the ninth to wallop the New York Giants 18-4. It was the fifth victory in the. last six games tur Milwaukee. . The defeat dumped the world champions iiito fourth, a half game behind the Braves. who climbed above .500 for the first time since May 19. '

Johnny Antonelli, ex-Milwaukee southpaw, didn't make it through the second inning as he picked lup his seventh defeat in 12 deci- sions.

The six-run second wrapped it up for the Braves, who peppered four Giant pitchers for 17 hits.

again! June-like disposition kept the Prince County hockey players

from going into action until about half the winter was over. Now, in the balmy month of June, his tenden, to put on s January- like appearance is keeping the baseball and softball players from starting their summer's sports. Last January folks down this way said the only cure for the effect of our mild winters on sports Was artificial ice. But since no one has yet invented artificial "fair and warmer" weather. there isn't 'much we can do about the pre- sent. situation but wait for I change.

Dee Lefurgey. Coke Grady and Maurice Cannon have hit the baseball tourist trail. and are trying out with Black's Harbour. a team that plays with St. Ste- phen and other clubs in Charlotte County. N.B., and Maine. Latest reports have it that Lefurgey has not had an opportunity to try out yet. but that Grady and Can- non. despite the wet weather. lhsvo seen some action. They say in the Black's Harbour park the fences are a long way from home plate and some rich man has I standing offer of one hundred dol- lars to anyone who bats the ball over the fence in a regular game. Maurie Cannon who bashed two over the Lewlsvilla park fence last fall gave it the old college try a few days ago but the horse- hide remained in the park. and Cannon got a triple. Maurie's batting average wasn't too fat. as a rule. but he could certain- ly give the apple a ride at. times.

I these three boys make the grade and stay in New Bruns- wick. it will make things a bit less rosy for our baseball here in Summerside. We have none too many ball players as it is. and to lost three of the best wouldn't help. in spite of this. we wish lihem luck.

Congratulations and good luck. also. to Donnie Simmons who has recently joined the "Benedict" class. Donni will pitch this year again for Clarke's Harbour Where

We got a letter from a McGill- vray chap from Glace Bay re- cently. enclosing a list of ball players. mostly junior. and won- dering if they might catch on with the C I: B juniors in Summersld.-. We had to write and tell him that Santa Claus wasn't coming to town this summer, and we wouldn't be in the market for mainland balltossers this year.

To do a little reminiscing In this off-season, we've heard that Freddie Gallant. softball player with the Legion last summer, was s cyclist in his youth, and tin- ished second to a Rayner chap in a ten-mile bicycle race in Sum- merside some years ago. Before that event he had won the Herald and Mail bicycle race in Halifax.
