Sin—Whether ‘Duck’ Trainor is ready to take on middleweights of contending

. calibre should be one of the more

interesting things decided this Wednesday night at the Sports Arena when the West End Irish- man makes his start along the comeback. trail in a ten round main event bout with Bob Lead- ley of Halifax.

The 24-year-old Trainer is rounding into top condition for his Wednesday night return bout against the. Nova Scotia slugger. Traivnor admitted after their last fight that Leadley was one of the toughest fighters he has come up, against and thathe have to be in top form to beat him.

This Leadley is a stocky, hard punching veteran who loves to fight. Some say he should pay his way in even when he’s on the card because he gets such pleasure out of throwing punch- es. As they say in the trade, Leadley has been in there with the "iron" .and has displayed

If all the preliminaries that Ivan ,Doherty has lined up for Wednesday’s show, corne off as scheduled, it promises to be one. of the better nights of fighting in recent years. From the first four-round fight through the semi-final, Doherty has lined up a really interesting card.

Perhaps the niost interesting match is the sixpround semi- final between Vince Cook of Am- herst- and Bruno ' “Rocky” Bou- cher. Boucher a year or so ago was one of the most promising welterweights in Upper Canada and he vows he’s getting back in the business in real earnest. The rugged Boucher plans to make his home here and brush up on the boxing profesion.

Promoter Doherlty announced today that Boucher, now a full- fleged middleweight would meet Vince Cook. In fact, the send- final may steal the show from the main event. t

In all, it looks like a good eaen-ing of sock and rock.

MONTREAL (CP) — The pen- nant - winning Montreal Royals placed three players on the In. tern-ational League’s 1958 all-star team announced Monday.

.In addition, Montreal’s Clay Bryant was previously chosen top manager of the season.

Two players each were chosen from Toronto and Columbus and one each from Havana, Rich- mond and Miami.

The team, as selected by 33 members of the league’s Base- ball Writers’ Association and an- nounced by Neil MacGarl, of the Toronto Sta-r, association presi- dent:

First base, Rocky Nelson, To- ronto; second b ase, Sparky Anderson, Montreal: third base, Woody Smith, Miami; shortstop, Elio Chacon, Havana; outfield, Sol'ly Drake, Montreal, Jim Pen— dleton, Columbia, a nd Del-on Johnson, Richmond; catcher, Tim Thompson, Toronto; right-handed pitcher, Bennie Daniels, Colum- bus; lefthanded pitcher, Tom La- Sorda, Montreal.

Nelson was the only unanimous choice. He appears on the team for a record fifth time — with Rochester as‘a rookie in 1948 and with Montreal in 1953, 1954 and 1955. This season he won his sec- ond EL triple batting crown—bat- ting percentage, .326; home runs, 43; runs batted in, 120.

Watching the Summerside 1e- gion-Halifax Navy game in Hall- fax brought back memories of the mainland adventures of the old 0 and B outfit. Those Legiounaires gotupofftllefiloortobattheir way to victory as the C and. gang ofiten did before them. Mlarl- time regulations state that the use of gloves for fielders is optional. Prince County siftbal- lers used gloves all season but ap- parently the Halifiax players did not. Our boys got an umnerciful barrage of kidding when they took the field with their gloves. The fans called them “girls” with an endless variety of wisecracks on the subject. When a player took pitcher Leard belulnd‘ the stands to warm him up in case he was needed to relieve stulll on the mound. some wag shouted: “they’re gone to the powder room!” Outnumbered vocally as they were, the boys were wise, we thI' , in not athermbmg' to answer ck. They “said it with baits" instead. Gloves certainly had nothung‘ to do with the bar- rage of base‘hits sprayed to all parts of the field by the legion— aIi-res till the late innings.
