Jap Survivor 0! Atom Bomb Winner Of Boston Marathon

BOSTON. April 19 -(AP) - A solid 19-year-old Japanese school- boy, Shigekl Tanaka. from atomic- -bombed l-liroshima. strictly follow- ed his own time schedule today to become the sixth consecutive for- eigner to win the famous Boston A.A. Marathon. o

In so doing, however, he missed the 26 miles-385 yards course rec- nrd by two minutes. six seconds. Tanaka broke the tape in 2.27:4-5. about two thirds of a mile ahead of John Lafferty, the sponsoring B.A.A.'s favorite.

After almost ignoring the ter- rific pace his 26-year-old country- man. Shunji Koyanagi. set from the first through the 22nd mile. Tanako negotiated the range of four hills so easily that he ap- peared certain to erase the 2.25:39 mark Kore-an Sun Bok Suh set here in 1947.

But instead of extending himself over the last. two miles of easy going. Tanaka religiously followed his prc-race plans, which called for only a comfortable finish drive.

if knew I would win if I stuck to my own schedule," the victor explained through an interpreter. "I didn't plan a record-breaking rare. I ran only to win."

Greece's Athannssios Ragzos fin- ished third in the field of 154 starters in 2.35:27. He was 26 sec- onds ahead of Lou White, the dur- able New York Negro who fairly flew over the last third . of the punishing course. First Canadian in the field was Gerard Cote of st. Hyaclnthe, Que., who came in Seventh. The cignr-smoking Cote gained the last of his four victories

Another leading winter sporting pastime. basketball. is fast draw- ing to a close to make way for the

outdoor summer activities. Wrap- ping up their semi-final section against Siiinmerslde R.C.A.F. Fly- ers, the Saint Durlstan's University hoopsters downed the birdmen 86- 54 here Wednesday night to take the home and home, total point round 145-102 to play their way into the finals for the Island Physical Fitness basketball champ- ionship and trophy. . . . Prince of Wales College, elimin- ating Cho.rlottetou'n Y.M.C.A. earl- ier this month in their semi-final section, will be the other team in the final title battle, making it an all-college series; the first time since the present league came into vogue three years ago under the Department of Physical Fitness. Both squads have come up with powerful showings this season to end in a two-way tie for first place at the end of the regular league schedule, racking up almost per- fect scores of eight wins and only two losses each in the six-team circuit.

0 O O O

Y.M.C.A.. making their first bid this year in the Island hoop cir- cuit, made a good showing to fin- ish thlrd over the R.C.A.F. boys who had copped off the title for the past two years, ,only to lose it lot of their'former power through player transfers. etc., to finish in fourth place. The other two teams in the league were Summersidc Schul-man's and Ray's Millionaires, who both had tough seasons to flu- ish out of the playoffs in fifth and sixth places respectively.

The finals. which is expected to be a home and home, total point series, will get underway with its opening tilt at P. W. C. auditorium this Saturday night, with the sec- ond game of the schedule slated for probably Wednesday or Thurs- day of next week. There is much speculation and interest over the forthcoming series. Both clubs are strong in every quarter and are very evenly matched, and their meetings this season have produced the tightest battles this year. Most followers are predicting the series to be a toss-up right down to the wire and are anticipating seeing probably the best final series in the history of the league.

Racquet wielding enthusiasts of the Charlottetown Tennis Club already are getting the ground- work laid for another full season of activities. Mild weather has been drying out the ground rapid- ly and the task of readying the courts for service has been under- way since the start of this week by club enthusiasts. The new club- house, commenced last fall. is ex- pected to be completed in time for the official opening.

The new building, which re- places the old clubhouse that had stood on the same site for nearly three-quarters of a century, will bring a lot of advantages to the Club's activities this season. With added facilities for holding their own club dances etc, the new clubhouse is expected to lend much to the enjoyment and act-

ate members and the cutive are looking forward highly successful season.

A drive for membership will get underway shortly, with particular emphasis being placed on interest- ing the younger set to take up the game and many of the older mem- bers have already pledged their support and service in coaching the youngsters along to give them I start on the right foot. With all six courts being given a complete resurfacing job last summer and the added expense of putting up 3 new clubhouse. it is felt that I large membership will be needed to insure a good season. A lpwial dance is being planned for early next month to raise the mouse , capital to set the season's activit- ies in motion.

On leaving Old Spain to make their tour of the City, the boys were greeted with tremendous cheering and applause from the citizens of Charlottetown who lined the streets for blocks to make their farewells to members of a great hockey club, of whom each and ev- ery Islander can well be proud.

During the banquet, Mayor Mac- Donald, on behalf of Dr. PIC. Dougan and himself, presented the wife of each married player with appropriately engraved bracelets as mark of their esteem and appre- ciatlon.

SYDNEY. N. S.. April 10.-(CP) - Sydney Millionaires overcame Vulleyficld Braves 3-2 tonight to tie their best-of-seven Alexander Cu-p semi-finds at one game each.

Third game of the series will be played here Saturday night and then the series switches to Que- bec. probably the' Montreal

Forum.

Miliiomkes, winners of the Maritime crown for the fourth consecutive time this season, shot a single goal in each of the three periods. Both Valleyflcld tallies came in the final period as Braves made a desperate attempt to knot the score.

Valleyfield coach Hector (Toe) Blake indicated after the game tonight that he would protest Sydney's right to the victory. Blake's protest, if it is filed with- in the 48-hour deadline, will like- ly be based around a disallowed goal at the end of the second period.

Trailing 2-0. the Brave strate- gists pulled a surprise in e at 19:55 of the second period when they held the puck in the Sydney bacloboards for a face-off. Goal keeper Paul Loclerc was drawn for extra shooting power. Blake put six forwards out.

The Quebec champions got the draw and In I series of short passes had the puck pushed through Nick Pldsodvnyts pads. The score however, was register- ed beyond regulation time. The Sydney Forum's automatic tim- ing device cuts the power off the goal judge's light once the reg- ulation 20 minutes of o-period have been played.

Goal judge George Dawes of Moncton. stated that he had pressed his button when the puck back-handed by Jean Paul Biss- ailon had crossed the line.

There was no red light as the green light signifying the end of playing time was on.

Referees Jack Mel'enbIckor Ind Andy Bellerner who were follow- ing the play signified a fair score but were told by the official timer that time for play had ex- pired. Neither referee had no- ticed the green light.

For 3,342 cash customers, the game was the moat nerve-wrack- ing battle in playoff history here.
