Hurricane Edna put the kibosh on ,racing in the Maritimes last Saturday night-Sydney and Truro. NS. Charlottetown, P.E.I.. Fred- ericton, Saint John and Monctoii. N.B., all had to be cancelled. Munc- ton Raceway received the full force of the storm which demolish- ed over 25 stalls and turned that many horses out of house and home for the night. The horses were roundecl up and placed under the grand stand. None were injured as they seemed to sense the danger and were easily taken care of by the grooms. The lighting system. the tote board and part of the fence were damaged. We under- stand that the stalls will have to be completely rebuilt and it will cost several thousand dollars. The management. however. are tak- ing th:s in stride and we note where races wcre held on Wednes- day night and will be held again tonight. As far as we can learn it is the only track that suffered much damage and we sympathize with the management in having such a loss overtake them so early in their operations.

We notice an ad for a complete dispersal sale of horses and equip- ment owned by Ralph Parker, R.

NEW YORK. (AP)-Blood-spat: tered Rocky Marciano. warned three times for punching after the bell. floored Ezzard Charles three times in a savage attack and knocked out the former champion in 2:36 of the eighth round Fri- day night. It was his fourth de- fence of his world heavyweignt title.

With blood flowing from I gashed nose and right eye. the un- beaten tltleholder swarmed to the kill with a barrage of punches that ended Charles' dreams of becom- mg the first former champ to win back the championship.

Down for I two-count in the sec-

startlng at 2.30.

Another and what may be the last horse race of the season will be held at the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park tonight.

The possibility of horse racing

will depend upon the crowd It to- nightls meet. A good sized crowd this evening and the racing will continue.

Those who turn out tonight will see I good racing card. Racing in the feature are seven well known favorites such as Essa. Prince Bud- long, Whispering Hope. Miss Donna Mae. Gahagan. Peter Clegg and Abner the Great.

The first dash of this event will be a handicap race. The last dam will be classified.

Saint John ' Hockey Hopes . Almost Nil

SAINT JOHN. -N. B. (CP)- Chances of Saint John being rep- resented in Maritime provinces senior hockey this winter lessened Friday.

The New Brunswick Senior Hockey League has set Sunday as I deadline for a Saint John entry and Friday night there was no in- dication any individual or group in- tended to organize or financially back I team. ' g

At Fredericton Jack T. H. Fen- ety. first vice-president of the league. who had conclu ted I week- long investigation Into the Saint John situation. said he had been unable to uncover anyone in this city interested in I senior hockey club.

Otty Stevenson. 5 cotmanuer of last winter's Beavers. reiterated an earlier statement by himself and the other part-owner of the 1053-54 club. Murray M. Long. that they would not operate I team.

There is also some doubt the Saint John Forum will open its doors this winter. The rink is faced with court action brought by a bond-holder for recovery of inter- est due on his bonds. The prelent directors. who are not contesting the action. say they will not op- erate the rink this winter.

ond round. Charles fought back gamely under heavy fire until he was sunk for keeps in the fierce eighth.

A thunderous right hand punch to the Jaw midway in the eighth sent the Cincinnati Negro sprawl- ing on his side under the ropes. He bounced up quickly It the count of two but was badly hurt.

ROCKY CUTS L008!

Determined not to let Charles escape again, the Brockton. Mass. slugger loosened I barrage of punches.

Charles sunk to his knees under

a left-right-left Itta k and it seemed certain be we id never get up. Blinking while referee Al Berl tolled the count, Charles made a last gasp effort to rise after nine. He still was getting up when Berl shouted "ten" and motioned that the Yggikee stadium fight ms fin- lahed.

A swarm of Rocky's admirers poured into the working press sec- tion at the sudden ending and his father kissed him in mid-ring.

Marciano bled from the nose in the third and suffered I deep cut at the tip of the nose in the sixth. In the eighth. the left eye that was cut in the first fight, June 17. again was out.

All three officials had the champ way out front. giving only the first round to Charles. Referee Berl had it 5-1-1 and judges Frank Forbes and Artie Aidala each 6-1. The AP card was.5-1-1.
