PRESS SCORE SHEET

The crowd, officially put at 15,-

Pastor, who emerged unscntlmd as the first heavyweight to go the limit with Louis since the letters knockout last Julie by Max sch. mflllllg. dldnt even lose the plaster patch that he wore over his left eye when the bout started.

Louis Baffled

Louis, slow, wild and completely baffled by ills rivals tactics, show- ed the effects of Pzrlolfls- pilnchps around the ribs and kidneys, be- sides a sure nose that bled through- out the last five rounds.

Ringside critics, almost as coin- pletely wrong in their speculation over the outcome as they were ill the Louis-Schincliiig bout, quickly clrculm-ed Pcports of a “cleanilp" by Broadway betting men. Plenty of money had been wagered, it was said. against the chances of Pas- tor going the Illllll}.

Louis, although always seemingly dangerous with either fist, failed t0 land anything resembling a knpgk- dowli punch. The bom-befs left jarivd Pastor at intervals, includ- ing the fourth, fifth and eighth roiulds, but he missed more blows than he connected. Shufiliil‘ Joe looked so slow at times as he tried to match his smaller rivals speedy footwork that he resembled a cig- ar-store Indian trying to swap pim- cllc: at long range with ll Jumping jnv .

Pastor, in retreat 0-l0ths of the fight, covered more ground than a cross-country runner but he did it pilrposclycnd accomplished his ob- jective to go the route and keep his chin out of harm's Wily.

MONTREAL, Jail. 29—-A ruddy- fliccd follow lay back on a raised hospital bed pillow today, blushed thinning hair from half-bald temples and mused on the hockey fates between occasional wlnoes of Pall! from a leg su pended on a tri-ulggillili‘ brace above the bed.

Hollie Morenz, bedded for at least ..ix weeks because of a cioilblc fracture of the left leg, rubbed a hand over his ‘face, show- 111g ciearlyi the effects of a sleep- less night, and said quietly:

"Don't coiliit me out yet. It took l4 ycars lo got mc and they gob inc good. But don't count me out yet."

Howie. knocked out of Montreal Canadiens lineup 1n the midst of a comeback to the heights he vac- ated a tcw seasons ago, knew he

Whenever I've been injured before-and I've taken plenty of knocks-I've said to niy- self, ‘It'll get better, it'll get bet- ter.’ And it has, and that's just what I'm going to do this time. "Perhaps the old leg will come around and I'll be as good as new. Perhaps it won't, and. well. - . " Howie pulled himself up on the bed and tried hard to smile. He clidnt quite silcceed. "Hell," he said, "I sure wanted to finish this season. I was back with Cec (Manager Cecil Hart of

Canadiens) and the rest of the boys. and everything was going swell. If I could have finished

this one off, I'd have been sntis_ fled.

"You know," the one-time Strat- ford Streak reminisccd; “Cedused to say to me: ‘Now Howie, if you only had my head and your legs. what a hockey_ player you'd he.”

“And," interjected pretty Mrs, Howie. sitting at the bedside. “the first thing you said coining oiit of the ether lust ilight was, ‘Hey, Ccc. If I only had your logs and my head. I'd still be a hot-key player!"

“Yea?" muttered Howie. “I don't 1'cr mmber."

There was a stuck of telegrams near Howie from the boys he plays against in the NHL. Hc glanced at them, and at a few bouquets of flowers before going m;

"You kliow, there was something missing inside when I W3..- away the last two seasons. It's that old SCillCtIllllg'—-_V0ll know what I mean-and I got it again ‘when 1

crime back with Canadians. And Low I've got to stay in iici-c for two months.

"It hurts just as much inside as

that lcs docs. and the log hurts plenty." ' This ‘was Howie's most serious injury iii nearly l4 Season; in the big league. He'd broken a tlluinb fl"! Yours back in a playoff game. There had been long lily-Offs for various leg mishaps, but nothing as serious as the break lie suffer- ed when he went down after his skate caught in the rink boards Thulsdny night.

“Bud Wenger, a pacing gelding which T.V. "Vic" Holdaway of this town bought for a "song" at the Topsfleld.

Down this way, Bild Weiiger is held a W01tlly successor to those great Arostook pact-rs, John R. Braden, Jackson Grattun and Dan Hedge- wood. Under the careful training of Earle Avery of Woodstock, N.B., who uucccerled with the ilcrvous and high strung pacer where oth- ers had failed, Bud RVengci‘ set several new records for the Mari- time trucks.

The gelding opened his season on Juno 25 with n straight heat victory at Wood- stock. Lnlcr in the season he set n. new track mark of 2.05 _3-4 at Woodstock. iind three weeks after- ward clipped half a second off that mark.

Another feature was a match race with Zoinbro Hanover, 2.001-4 at Houltoli early 1n August. The Hanover horse won the first heat by a nose in 2.05 1-4; the second was a dead hcnt in 2.06 flat. Zom- bro Hanover
