Upsets Turpinis Plans

By BIN PELEGAI

LONDON, May 0 - (AP) - If Sugar Ray Robinson wants to be the world light heavyweight champ- ion, that's okay with Randy Turpin. who says he wiu fight Sugar at any weight.

”Just get him in the ring. any- where. any weight and any time." Turpin's manager, George Middle- ton, said today.

on the face of it, Robinson: de- cision to move into the 175-pound ranks against champion Joey Max- im next month seemed to upset a lot of carefully laid plans for Turpin. A

The 23-year-old British Negro autpointed Robinson for the world middleweight title in London last July and 64 days later he lost it- hack to Robinson on e 10th-roundi

"Red" Graham of

come to terms with fight pro- motor Bill Brown for his May 2-ltn fight with Harry Poulton at the local Forum. Apparently Graham, through his manager Bob Talbot, wants most of the potatoes that are left in the Province and Bill is not quite prepared to hand thcin over. However. Bill states that he expects to get matters

ironed out in the next day or two. 0 I 0 According to reports Talbot

ratcs his boy pretty highly. Last year Graham claimed that he was the rightful welterweight champ- ion of the Maritime: and this year he will be given his chance to prove it. The winner oi the Graham-Poulion fight will meet Tommy Spencer of Nova Scotiu for the crown. Spencer. who twice defeated Poullon by decis- ions and fought him to a .draw last year, is the tltleholdcr. I I 0

As far as we know Graham's cliicf asset is his left hand. He has a left wliichicaii put an op- ponent to sleep at any time. Twicc he has fought Poulton and both times he put Harry on the can- vass in the first round. Poulton and Graham each emerged with a victory. Grahnm winning by a knock-out and Poulton by a de- cision. As a boxer Graham has not too much skill. so when they meet on May 24 it will be the case of the boxer trying to out- point the puncher.

I 0 O

Poulton is whipping inlo condit- ion at Aubrey Pounds gym where he works out daily with Austin squarebriggs and "Bud" Lund. Harry is keen to get started at the summer's fight busincsv. and be- lieves that he can take the meas- ure of-his Halifax opponent. He has his eyes on Spencer's title and after that there are prospects of meeting one or two of the best Canadian welterweight: from Up- Der Canada in Charlottetown. These matters. however, are slill in the planning stage and will de- pend upon the success of his bouts with Graham and Spencer.

There are probably more Cana- dians participating in bowling than in any other sport. Bowling is strictly a game for the participant and does not hold much attraction for the spectator. However the City League finals in both five and ten pens at the Roll-Away Alleys are drawingv more than their share of attention and providing plenty of kill! competition not to say any- thin or the friendly arguments which usually continue long after the games are completed.

The Hot s.ho'ts .and the old Timers were bowling last night in the ten pin play-offs with Joey MacDonald anchoring this old Timers and Glen Matheson the Hot shots. The Hot shots appear. ed to be heading for it clean sweep after the first two games as they had won both and one of their players had ruched up 9. 117 score for the high single. The l-lot Shots had a plnfall lead of 32 points as they entered the last game but the old Timers came back to win the same, take the total pinfall by 26 points and one of their players. Connie Leciair wound up with 3 score of 118 for a high single. it was quite a comeback for the old Timers and one that produced Quite ii bit of excitement around the Alleys.

For the first time since 1947. Cleveland Indians swept a series at Yankee stadium, routing the world champion New York Yank- ees 12-5 Thursday.

Three straight over the reeling Yanks left the Tribe within 10 points of the league-lead” Bos- ton had sex who fell before Chi- cago's Saul Rogovln 4-2.

'me National League race also tightened as Dave Koslo of New Yorlz Giants shut out st. Louis Cards with four hits 3-0 to make it nine out of 10 wins for the Giants on their first western trip.

Koslofs brilliant job lifted the Giants within 28 points of the idle Brooklyn Dodgers. Like the Indi- ans in the American League, the Giants actually were even with the first place tenant in the won

percentage table.

Willard Marshall had a field day in the other National league game, driving home four runs with a bases-loaded triple and single in Boston's 6-4 -Ln over Chicago Cubs.

The Philadelphia at Pittsburgh game was rained out and Brooklyn and Cincinnati were idle.

Rookie Jim Rivera snapped his sluinp with a ninth-inning home run to give st. Louis Browns ll 9-B edge over Philadelphia A's. Wash- ington and Detroit battled 11 in- nings to a 4-4 tie in a game called to let the Tigers catch a train home for a game Friday.

Ray Boone led the Cleveland up- rising at the stadium with a three- run homer and single while driving in five runs. Boone's homer in the fifth inning was the winner. al- though the Tribe rubbed it in with six in the ninth.

Ed Lopat, who owned an im- pressive 33-0 lifetime record against Cleveland before the game. was knocked off the mound in five innings just like the Tribe rough- ed Vic Raschi Wednesday.” In ad- dition to Boone's homer. Harry Simpson homered and Bob Ken. "Edy and Al Rosen tripled.

Although Bobby Feller was hit freely. giving up 12 hits in 5 2-3 innings. Bob Lmion kept things under control the rest of the way to save Feller's third win.

Chicago snapped a six-game ios. ing streak to take a fall out of the front-running Red Sox. Rogovin threw a five-hitter and Ed stew. art hit a two-run homer off loser Ray Scarborough in the seventh,

This decision will also have a Stroll! bearing on the strength of the Charlottetown intermediate team.

During the past year the Club suffered the loss of their captain, Mr. W. D. (Bill) Cooke. when he passed away to his eternal re- ward. Mr. Cooke was instru- mental in the organization of this Club and. needless to say, he is greatly missed.

This year the Club was pleased to see so many ladies take part in the shoots and we hope to see more taking part next year.

Also, thanks to Brig- adier Reid. Col. W. J. MacDon- ald. and W0 G. Rayner, for their help.

Mr. Percy Hooper of Milton spoke briefly to those assembled. He iemarked that he was glad to be at the shoot mid enjoyed him- self to the utmost. He commend- ed the younger boys for their high scores and praised the ladies for the wonderful supper. r

Mr. H. T. Vcsey moved a heart vote of thanks to the ladies for the supper they had scrvcd. The mo- tlon was seconded by Arthur Brown and the crowd showed their appreciation by their ap-

ause. Two special prizes this year were donated by Mr. Edison Hardy. One, to the lady having the high- cst score in the prize shoot in her first year competition. was won by Miss Nelda Richards with a score of 91. The second, to the Junior boy having the highest score in the prize shoot. won by George Andrews with a score of 95.

A special aggregate shoot was held during the winter composed of six shoots. The - were divided into six classes and a sil- ver spoon was given to the win- ners in cach class. The possible score was 600. Following is a list of the winners in each class: 1. H. T. Vesey. 586: 2. Edison Watts. 500: 3. Dean Watts. 550: 4. Nelda Richards. 520: 5. Cecil Watts, 513; 8.
