with Provincial and city Fath- ers and many special guests pres- ent. the old Home week and Pro-

vincial Exhibltion's Diamond Jubilee program. a week-long teat- urc of horse racing, stock showsp vaudeville. midway and other top entertainments and exhibits. got away to a gala opening on Monday night at the Exhibition Grounds. some 3,500 racing enthusiasts crowded the race track and thous- ands more patronized the enter- tainment offerings of Bill Lynch on the fairgrounds to start off what looks very much like a ban- ner show for the 1950. Jubilee sea- son. 0 D 0

With the Junior Free-For-All Pace spotlighting the opening teat- ure to the racing, that will see a total of eight individual cards run off during the week, Lock Hanover headed the field in all three dashes of that event to set the fast mark of 21!? in the first. 2.09 3-5 in the second and winding it up in the third with 210 2-5. that will make the senior free-for-allers look to their laurel: later in the week if they expect to stay in front of him either in position or time. with the exception of the first dash. the Bart Yerxa owned pacer from Sus- sex, N. B.. came from behind with powerful last half drives to top out the star studded seven-horse field.

But the free-for-all was just a part of the smart racing card on Monday night. The classified trot and the classified pace with six entries in one and five in the ether. although not chalking up such fast times. came up with even closer racing than the feature event. Competing in the pace event against Toby Patch. Carl Aubrey. Shy Ann 2nd and Bon- nie's Boy. George Gregory and John MaoLean's Bob Canuck came up with consistent displays of power to beat the rest of the field to the finish wire on each occas- sion. They were driving finishes too. when driver Len 0'Meara would flack Bob in at about third or fourth position for most of the distance and then bring him out on top at the last quarter in a smart exhibition of teamwork be- tween horse and driver for win- ning performances.

Charles Stops Beshore In 14th Round To Retain Heavyweight Title

By JACK HAND

BUFFALO, N. Y.. Aug. 15-(AP) --Ezzard Charles, bullied by maul- ing Freddie Beshore during the early rounds. stopped the Harris- burg. Pa., challenger in 2:53 of the 14th round tonight in the third successful defence of his N. B. A. heavyweight title.

Rcfere Barney Felix halted the contest with blood streaming from Bcshore's pulled right ear and mouth while the crowd roared its displeasure.

The lean Negro champion from Cincinnati never dropped the swarming Pennsylvania Dutchman although he had him in trouble several times. Charles appeared ring-rusty and off in his timing after a 10-month layoff.

Small Crowd

A disappointing crowd of 6.298 paid only 53,666.36 gross to watch the bout. It was the smallest crowd and gate in modern heavy- weight title history. The previous 10W was 548,192 for Joe Louis- l-larry Thomas at Chicago Stad- ium. April 1. .1938. Low atten- dance was 10.609 at Madison Square Garden. March E, 1940 for a hamplonship fight between Louis and Johnny Paycheck.

As the promoters estimated they needed a gross of about 850.00) to break even. they took quite a red ink bath.

l3eshore's onrushing style of in- fighting bothered the champion no end. He fought in spurts. ap- parently not sure of himself. Gathering steam in the late rounds. he bombed Beshore with withering body and head pun- ches. ,

Referee Felix had Charles out front, 12-2 when he stepped be- tween the blood-drenched bsttlers. Judge Anse Carroll saw it 12-1 with one even. Judge Leo Siach- owiak had Charles out front 9-3 with two even. The AP card saw 10-2 with two even.

The and came suddenly. lust when it appeared that the 5-to-1 underdog challenger was going to last the route. A smashing right Staggered Beshore as he came out of a clinch. Another right to the head. followed by six straight punches without return. left Be- shore wobbling in mid-ring with his hands down. Noticing the blood sl.reamlng.from the ear out. Felix intervened.

Charles weighed 183 1-4 for his title defense to 184 1-2 for Be- shore.

Took Few Blake

With a Joe Louis match prac- tically set for Yankee Stadium Sept. 27. Charles took few risks. He said later he had him figur- ed out in the first round. Stl.l the champion wound up with a cut left eye that also dripped blood. ,

"My timing was off." said Char- lea in his dressing room. "I couldn't get as good right hand shot at him. The guys I trained with were more or less standup Buys. I didn't know he was go- iniz to fight. that way."

Jake Mlntz. Charlea' manager said he has a conference sched- uled tomorrow with New York officials of the International Box- ing Club to discuss the Louis match. ,

if Ezzard didn't expect Beshore to fight that way he was about the only person in the small crowd who didn't. Beshore. strict- ly a mauling body puncher. came out in a crouch. bobbing and weaving with head low trying to avoid Charler' heavy artillery. Some times he did. More often he didn't.

Beshore had a good than of the crowd with him because he garnely insisted on carrying the battle to the champion at close quarters. 1
