MI- Alexander is to be congrst ulated on bringing two good trot- ters to the Maritimes, because we are short of trotting material, most everybody going in for panel's. 1t is to be rexretted that races for trotters have fallen oil’, but this is not due to their want of Wbular- ity or to an discrimination by rac- ing associat ons. It is simply that there has been a. dearth of good trotters. A few more importations such as Mr. Alexander's will make things look up in the trotting line and assure owners of races at the principal meetings the coming sea- son.

‘An elderly horseman remarked the other day on the number of good-looking harness and draft horses that were to be seen on the streets of Charlottetown this win- ter. That caused mo to observe them more closely and I must say that not for many years have we had anything approaching the qual- ity and appearance of the animals to be seen this year. Whether it is that people are taking more inter- est in their horses or that feed is cheaper and they are using more of it-as was suggested by one party spoken tcr—I cannot say: anyhow it is something that we can take pardonable pride in.

Louis,McAv0y Hold . Ri n g Spotlight

(By Alan Gould, Associated Press Sports Editor)

(A. r. By Guardian's Special Wire)

NEW YORK, Jan. lit-Along cauliflower co. , that segment of Manhattan's 49th Street situated bowcen Broadway and Eighth Av- enue, 1936 is viewed in terms of two $1,000,000 heavyweight "gates" and at least a 50 per cent turnover in pugllistlc hampions.

The central figure is the dusky dynamitsr, Joe Louis. The assump- tion is Louis will flatten‘ Max Schmellng in Juno, thereby notch- ing a. third ell-champion among his victims, and take the title from James J. Braddock in September. The prospect of drawing $1,000,000 for each affair is not quite as as- sured as the outcome.

The unexpected injection of a British punch, possessed by Jock MoAvoy, adds fresh interest to the New Year's prospects. McAvoy created a sensation in two fights here, whipping Al McCoy, a. highly- efftuient Fkcnch Canadian middle- weight, and then scoring a. one- round knockout victory over Babe Risko, holder of the American 160-1111111111 title. '

McAvoy, who scaled 108 1-2 for his match with McCoy, has been matched with John Henry Lewis, negro holder of the l75-pound title, but the most intriguing angle to the Britons future is the chance of building hinl up to swap punch- es with Inuls, perhaps in 1937. This is worth emphasizing, not only be- cause it is going to become tougher to find suitable competition for Louis, but because there 1s plenty of precedent for anticipating Mc- Avoy will develop heavyweight stature.

Ruby Robert Htzsimmons, won middleweight and lightheavyweight honors before knodflng out Jim Corbett for the world heavyweight title. Georges Carpentier was a lightheavy when he fought Jack

Dempsey before a $1,600,000 "house" in Jersey City in 192i. Gene Tunney won the American

lightheavy crown from Harry Grab before taking \on enough extra poundage ~to tackle Dempsey. MickeyM/alker, originally a wel- terweight, Stanley Ketchel, Tommy Loughran and Joe Waloott, among others, did not let lack cf poundage keep them from battling heavy- weights.

The main point is that McAvoy seems to have more punch than any of the present or prospective challengers to the unbroken march of the chocolate soldier from De- trolt.

Maritime President Seeks _ Report ‘Olympic Team “Scandal”

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wino)

Officials

TORONTO, Jan. l0—Fred Mar- ples, treasurer of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association to- rliv declined to [live reasons whv the ,fou..r members of the Halifax Wolverines who were dropped from Canada's Olympic hockey team were debarred from playing ag- ainst the Olympic team in an ex- hibition game in Halifax Jan. 16.

lVLr. Marplcs said the C. A. H. A. committee had “good" reasons for the move or it would not have been made. He said he had an- swered Jack Conn, Halifax pro- moter, by telegram today inform- ing him the four players would not be allowed to play with the all-star aggregation that faces the Olympics but had not divulged the reasons.

The Association treasurer spent most of today arranging details of the team's trip to Germany. Pass- ports and other matters were ar- ranged and Mr. Marples expects to have plans for the trlp fairly well lined up before tomorrow night. Meanwhile E. A. Giiroy, President, was still taking things easy, having not fully recovered from an attack of pluerisy.

HALIFAX. Jan. l0—A definite official report on the,suspenslon of l-lallfax's “four musketcers" from the Canadian Olympic hoc- key tcam was sought today by '1‘- L. MacDonald. President of the Maritime Provinces Branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Can- ada. s

Seeking "co-operation" between union and branch in the dram- atic Masher-Bubar-Lawlor-Fergu- son case. Mr. MacDonald dispatch- ed the following telegram to both W. A. Frv, President of the A. A. U. and E. A. Gilroy, President of the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation late this afternoon:

“As branch president of the A. A. U. C. and member of the execu- tlve of said body I stronrfy re- quest a definite report as to whether the four Wolverine players dropped from the Olympic team have broken the amateur code.

"If such is the case and evidence is provided, this branch will im- mcdlately suspend them.

"If they did not common court- esv to a branch president calls for a full report as to why such dras- tic action was taken with athletes registered in this branch.

"Co-operation between members ls essential if union is to retain its strength."

Official reports on the factors leading to the dismisal of the four Wolverines from the Olympic team were awaited in Amherst, N. S., by President James Wrv of the Maritime Amateur Hockey As- soclation.

Public sentiment in various Maritime centres was demanding an investigation which, according to President Wi-y, could not begin without a statement from Mr. Gil- roy who is now in a sick-bed in Toronto. Sworn affidavits had been demanded and received from the dismissed players.

Unofficial reports had said the quartet had been discharged be- 09-1159 they had demanded money to support their families while they were in Germany, but the players themselves insisted they had never discussed monetary matters with C. A. H. A. officials until they were first brour\~t up by Prrlldent Gilroy himself.

suooasrs LEGAL ACTION

TOR/ONTO. Jan, 10.-(C.P.)—F‘red Marples of Winnipeg, secretary of the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation tonight was unimpressed by Prospect of legal action suggested by Harold Connolly of Halifax fol- lowing the dmpping of four mem- bers of the Halifax Wolverines from the Canadian Olympic hockey team.

Connolly. vice-president of the Wolverines who won the Allan Cup 111st year. today advocated the issu- ing of a writ aflalnst the C. A. H. A. suing for return of "thc_$11,000 ma; Association took out of Halifax in the Allan Cup playoffs last Spring."

"Six thousand dollars must have gone astray," Marples remarked. “The C. A. H. A. received only five thousand dollars."

QUOTES GILROY

‘TORONTO. Jan. 10. -— (O.P.) — Fbllowlng statements by four Nova Scotia hockey players in Montreal that President E. A. Gilroy of tho C. A. H. A. had first brought up the subject of provision for their fam- ilies, Lou Marsh of the Toronto Star quoted Gllroy as saying:

"I was warned from Port Arthur that the Halifax boys were demand. ing broken time remuneration, or whatever they call it, a week before I joined the team. I was asked to ooms down and settle it than but 1 figured I could settle the whole matter when I arrived to take charge.

"when I joined the team I wan-

dfll t0 know what all the kick was about and the Halifax boys dc- manded 0150 a month to take cars of their families whila they were away. I said not a dime beyond the same expenses as are allowed any other athlete on a Canadian Olym- pic tea-m. ‘ “They stuck and 1 stuck and so 1 called the meeting of officials hero and the dismissal of the Halifax quartetta is the result."

Mr. Gllroy said he knew what was coming because of wires 3nd

Halifax asking how much me buys were to get and how much they were personally to get while they were away,

"I replied to them all the same way. I told them all the boys would get was transportation and hotel expenses. There were no extras for anybody." Marsh quotes Gilroy as saying.

Canadian Press despatches from Port Arthur after the players were dropped sold tho action came as a surprise theroas there had been no inkling of any trouble while tho team was there.

BLAMES HALIFAX

DUNNVIIJE, 0m. Jan. 1o-<c. P-) — Writing in his own weekly newspaper the Dunville Chronicle. President W. A. Fly of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada says Hal- ifax and. the Maritime Provinces fell down in not providing for the families cf four Halifax players dropped from the Olympic hockey team.

“One factor stanctgoutr-admit- tediy by the players themselves, their families had not been "pm- vided for," says Mr. Fry. dis-ussing the case. "I do not blame the four players for insisting that their fam- ilies be taken care of while they were away. They would be pikers if they didn't.

“But that was not the ‘baby’ of the C. A. H. A. or the O‘ymplc Committee—it was the problem of theplayers‘ friends, the city of Halifax and the Maritime Provin- ces, whose champions the Wolves were. When the four men received the invitation to join the team, knowing Olympic rules were hard and fast against help fmm Olym- pic sources, they should, before they accepted the invitation. have re- ceived assurances at home that the necessary assistance for their fam- ilies was to be forthcoming. _

“Incidentally, the reason why the Wolves did not go as a team-the reason why those who went up to Northern Ontario would not return to Halifax to form the nucleus of an Olympic team-was because the financial guarantees they demand- vd were over and above their own personal expenses, were beyond all reason if they merely sought pro- tection for their families. ,

"The C. A. H. A. L; doing its full duty in putting up the thousands of dollars, it will take to equip and send the full team to Germany at not a nickel's expense to the Olym- pic Committee, without adding payments for these four men that no Olympic competitor ever got before, and which it was the duty of home people to provide.’

Mr. Fly said it was "incredible" that President E. A. Gilroy of the C.A.H.A. should "doubZe-cross” any- one. Charges against the C.A.H.A. head were termed "too thin" by the A.A.U. President.
