There was a great deal of dis- cussion at the meeting regarding the need for such an organisation and various opinions were express- ed astohow it should function and what duties it should undertake. It was the opinion oi the meetlm that the playing fields of the Town should come under its jurisdiction and that time would be allotted some fair basis to be worked out. It was hoped that all existing ath- letic organizations would work in (to-operation with this associa ion.

m. cu. Mulhqlland advised the meeting that the Kinsmen Club would like to sponsor midget baseball in the town and he asked if that field would be given over to the Kinsmen. This application will be taken up at the meeting io- night-S.

Senators To Obey Quebec A.ll. A.

OTTAWA. May 5 - (C?) - Manoger Tommy German of the Ottawa Senators said tonight

Bmators will obey the orders of the Quebec Amateur Hockey As- sociation to play all remaining Allan Cup final games in Ottawa ‘no matter what takes place." Told that president Amrie Cho- uet of the QAJiA. had ordered enators to play the rest of their games with Regina Capitals in Ottawa. Gorman said: "That's line. that's exactly what we'll do."

"No matter what takes place. we'll obey the QAHA. orders."

Senators returned to Ottexwa to- day after dropping the fourth game of the series to Regina 6-3. Ottawa now leads the best-of- seven series 3-1.

FORT ERIE. Ont.. May 5 — (CP) - Port Colbome Merchants, dominating the play throughout,

tonight won the Eastern Canada intermediate A hockey champion- ship by downing Rouyn Hashes 10-2 in a fast, hard-fought contest. Ports won the series 2-1 in games.

In Ottawa

(By The Canadian Press)

MONTREAL, May 5-The exec- utive of the Quebec Amateur l-ioc- key Association tonight ordered the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club to play its remaining games of the Allan Cup series with Regina Capitals in Ottawa and “not to play elsewhere."

President Azarie Choquet oi the Q.A.H.A. announced the decision tonight and so notified Al Pickard, president of the Canadian Asiat- eur Hockey Association, of which the Q.A.H.A. is a branch.

The executive's action meets a request of Tommy German, man- aging directors of the Senators, who told Choquet in a telegram that the senators were "threat- ened" last Monday with cancellat- ion of last Monday night's game in Ottawa and indefinite suspen- sion if the club refused to play in Toronto.

Senators played in ‘for-onto last night and lost 6-3 to Regina ai- ter winning three in s row at home and needing only one more game to take the Allan Cup.

By their action tonight the Q. A. l-LA. not only defied Piekard and the C.A.H.A., who have been reported insisting on another To- ronto game, but also turned down a suggestion that sixth and sev- enth games, ii’ necessary, be play- ed in Montreal.

Leaves Fans Cold

TORONTO. MW 6 - (OP) - The hothouse Ottawa Senators- Regina Capitals Allan Cup cham- pionship is fast developing into .. hockey conundrum equivalent to picking the winner of tomorrow's third race at Pimlico without knowing the entries. The side-line antics are leaving fans — partic- ularly Easterners - completely oold

The latest rhubarb is that Re- gina wants thofifth game at Tor- onto Saturday night. The West- erners. winners by a 8-3 margin ova: Senators here last night, are behind 3-1 in games and figure the Toronto ice is more to their style.

And while the Capitals’ mane- g r Cliff Eliflg said at Toronto "t was only fair" to play at least two games ou-t of Ottawa's egg- sba-ped Forum, the Senators’ T.P. Gunman said at Ottawa "we won't play another game this year in Toronto."

And there the matter rests. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Assoc- iation, which decides venue of the finals, isn't talking for publica- tion but ihe underground word is that Ottawa will be lhg spot for the fifth game in this best-of- seven series and if any more are necess y. they will play at least one in Montreal.

Less than 0,000 fans turned out to watch the inspired, but slug- gish, Capitals pull out with their first series victory last night in weather suited for anything but hockey. Trmperatures were up around the 80s and hockey follow- ers have shifted their attention to baseball.

Harry MoInnis, a member of the Victoria Club's baseball committee, was on hand to put the boys through their paces, with a brisk workout on batting, fielding and- infleid play.

“If present plans materialize," states a recent Montreal report. "62 of Canada's best athletes will spend a good part oi next winter in the balmy winter season of New Zealand. They will have a boat trip of nearly three weeks on their way to the i950 British Empire Games. Unless they are so entranced by New Zealand and want to remain an extra six weeks or so, they will return to Canada by air."

O J. W. Davies, Honorary Secretary of the British Empire Games As- sociation of Canada. already up to his neck in pro-games work, told of the plans recently. "We are aiming at 62 athletes and l0 officials, if we raise sufficient funds" he said. "That number does not include the lawn bowling team, which will be responsible for its own expenses except for com- paratively minor things such as uniforms. The lawn bowling team likely will number seven, plus one official."

This summer's trials in Canada for the various events will deter- mine the make-up oi the entire Canadian contingent. All trials must be completed before next Oct. 31st. The team and officials will sail from Vancouver, Dec. 22nd, aboard the Aorangi and ar- rlve in Auckland, site of the games, Jan. 10th. There will be plenty of time for the athletes to train and become acclimatized before the games open fn_Feb. 4th.

"The entire cost per athlete for the Blames. which includes trans- portation. meals, uniforms, general administration and what have you. is iizured at more than erooo," states Davies, who considers that a lot of money, either Canadian or New Zealand.

O Another report concerning the British Empire Games states: “Canadian sprinters. faced with the prospect of running on grass in the British Empire Games at New Zealand next year, probably won't set any records, a veteran of the cinder lanes predicted recently." Percy Williams, Canada's iamous Olympic track star of the ‘M's, said the tracks "are bound to be slow." And he added "grass tracks are invariably uneven ,and throw your stride all off."

- o Williams, s t o c k y Vancouver sprinter, set the World record for the IOO-meter sprint in i000. He hung up his track shoes in 1%. A bachelor and nowan insurance salesman, Williams trained on grass during his high school days, but he graduated to the cinders when he started picking up the trophies. . ‘ O

He says Canadian traclrmen have never raced in maior corn- petition on grass, although several travelling teams on which Williams competed, ran on turf, chiefly in smaller towns. Following the 10M Olymvpic Games in Amsterdam. Williams flew with the Canadian team in Ireland, where there was nothing but green gram to run on. “it put my timing out," Wil- liams said. ‘instead oi pulling yourself along, you bounce an inch or two in the air and seem to be floating.’ _

"Moat Canadian cinder tracks are hard and dead," he said, "not like American ovals where there ls a bed beneath the cinder: to give the track a resiliency and outs seconds off the time."

Mike» Jacobs Bows Out .

As Boxing Promoter

By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr.

NEIW YORK, May 5—(AP)— Michael Strauss Jacobs, the man who for a dozen years has bossed boxing more than anyone since Tex Rickards time, duietly bowed out today.

Jacobs. 69, silently nodded in Bkflement as John Reed Kilpat- rick. president of Madison Square Garden, announced that Jacobs’ 20th Century sporting Club would relinquish its promotional rights to a new corporation. The new group will be allied with the In- ternatlonal Boxing Club of Chl- cago.

The change won't take place until June l. when Jacobs’ leases for boxing at the Garden and “elsewherefiincluding Yankee sta- dium, will be transferred to s new corporation.

But for all practical purposes, today's announcement means that Jacobs has relinquished his active role as a boxing promoter and Joe Louis, the man whom Mike guided to world championship heights, will take his place in the public rye as the top man in boxing.

The extent of the alliance be- tween the new and unnamed ror- pnration which will supplant the

______________ and the International Boxing Club,

recently organized by Louis, James D. Norris and Arthur M. Wirtz of Chicago. has not been detcnmmed.

It Will be “very ctose" Kilpat- ruck said. “l. don't know just now close, whether on a corporate basis or a close mutual under- standing."

Jacobs, who has since. he suffered s- cc.:br haemorrhage Dec. 3, 1946, will have a place in the new corpora- tion. but the extent oi his partic- ipation was not made clear.

"I'm going to get better first," he said. Then he almost whisp- ered "yes" when someone siggest- cd it would be rnostly an advisory role.

Jacobs, who has been in the fight industry since 1915, became associated with the Garden in Oc- tober, i937. That was about two years after he signed Louis to an exclusive contract and a few months after he had "licked" the Garden in a struggle for the ser- vices of Jimmy Braddock, then heavyweight champion. Jacobs found a flaw _in the contract which bound Braddock to defend ills title against Max Scbmellng and l00l< Jimmy to Chicago, where

been inactive

20m century gm, 1n New york he lost the championship to Louis.
