World Flyweight Title To Be At Stake Tonight

(By Ben Phleur)

LONDON, April 24-(AP)-Bozo ing's lightest crown-the world flywelght title-will be put up for Stabs here tomorrow night.

The contestants will be Honore Prllieli. 29'Year-old champion of France. and Terry Allen. 24-year- old London barrow boy-the Brl. Iish equivalent of a push-cart peddler.

Rinly Monashan. the crooning Irishman. gave up the title six Weeks ago because of ill health. He had been champion for two XPHPS.

Pratcsl rules favorite. He is re. carded as a much harder puncher.

Allen's strong points are speed and stamina. Although the British Boxing

Board of Control and the Europ- can Boxing Union have sanctioned the match. the winner may not gain immediate world recognition.

The United States National Box-

ing Association contends that Dado Marino of Honolulu should figure in the title picture. The N.B.A. asked the B.B.l3.C. to re- move world title sanction or at least force the winner to agree to defend the title against Marina within 90 days. .!l'he British Board has taken no action, apparently figuring the American group waited too long to protest. Tlin N.B.A. did not act until last Saturday.

Pratesi has won 15 fights. five of them by knockouts. He -has last five decisions and fought four draws since he turned pro in 1945.

Allen has been fighting as a pro since he was 17 years old. l-lc'3 won 52 fights. 17 of them by knockouts and"one on a foul: lost four including two by knockouts; and fought one draw. Many of his fights were while he was in the Irmy in North Africa.

CHICAGO. April 24 -(AP) - Charles Conacher. manager of Chicago Black Hawks of the Nat. lonal Hockey Lcague since the middle of the 1947 season, today resigned from that position.

Hawk president Bill Tobin an- nounced Conacher's decision and said the Toronto hockey "veteran probably would be retained by the Black Hawks as "an cxecutive-ad- yisnr."

Tobin said Conacl1er's successor as manager would not be named immediately. ”ThcWli be a thous- and applications. but I haven't given any thought to it yet," said Tobin.

Conacher asked to be relieved of his job with the last-place Hawks, Tobin said. because of need to de- vote his time to oil interests in Western Canada.

The announcement. confirmed long-standing rumors that Con- acher would quit tho Hawks. Top candidates mentioned as his suc- cessor are Ebbie Goodfeliow of St.

Louis Flyers and Frank (King) Clancy of Cincinnati Mohawlss. both American Hockey League teams.

Rouyn Flashes' Victory Upheld

MIDLAND. Ont., April 25 (CP) Rouyn Flashes' protest over Thurso Lumber Klngs' victory in the Eastern Canada intermed- iate playoffs has been upheld by the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation,

George Dudley. C. A. H. A. sec- retary-manager, said today the de- cision was that Thurso could ad- Vance in the playoffs if it. dropped right-winger Maurice Gougeon and that the three Rouyn-Thurso games in which Gougeon particip- ated should be replayed.

Dudley said, however, he has been informed that the Lumber -Kings cannot continue. Rouyn therefore was declared winner of the eastern intermediate title.

Rouyn protested that Clougeon was ineligible because he was ngt released by Pembroke Lumber Kings until after the Dec. 15 trans- fer date.

CHARLOTTETOWN

APRIL 25, 1950

We note that some of the play- ers from Charlottetown who at- tended the three-day Junior Hoc-

key School held at Halifax last week, were among those who caught the fancy of Ted Kennedy and Marty Barry who chief instructors of the school. Two in particular. Lorne Hennessey and Warren Carver, were abong those who were selected as i standing prospects" and will prob! ably get a chance to try out again next fall as prospects for the 1951 Halifax Saint; Mary's Junior Hoc- key Club. This will depend. how- ever, on their status with the clubs they performed with this season. '

y 0 0 Four of the some eight or so players from this City attending the school. were selected to play on one of the two teams chosen from the school in an exhibition hockey encounter on Friday night. The four who made the team from here were Carver and Hennessey. Stirling Maohure and Arnold Mc- Callum. Although the boys turned out to be on the losing team by a 4-3 margin. Lorne Hennessey kept the Islanders in the limelight. when he banged home two of his teams three tallies.

Both Hennessey and Carver were key forwards on the Charlotte- town Abegweit Juvenile squad this season who captured iihe Provin- cial title and represented the Is- land in Maritime playoff competit- ion. Mccallum was a member of the Prince of wales squad in Is- land Intermediate competition. while MacLure was a defencnrnan with Prince Street School. runners- up for the City Interscholastic title.

0 0 Judging from all reports. the school, which was under the spon- sorship of the Halifax Saint. Marys Hockey Club. went over with much success and there is consid- erable speculation of making it an annual affair. "Tceder"- Kennedy. captain of Toronto Maple Lewis N. H. L. squad. was the chief in- structor. and apparently made a. big hit with the 175 or more junior

hockeylsts who attended. the school. 0 O 0 Such schools as the one just

completed at Halifax and the an- nual referees and coaches program held here in Charlottetown for the last two years. are a great asset. to the development of sport in the Maritime: as well as a med- ium for players and officials to keep up with the latest trends In

the particular sport concerned from diose who are really skilled in the art of the game. Such

schools have been a general prac- tice in the larger Upper Canadian centres for a number of years. and it is gratifying to see that the Maritimes are more and more be- coming conscious of the Tact that such things are needed to produce a calibre of player and official on a par with the other Canadian Provinces. Similar 'schoois for baseball. basketball and other sports would also be a welcome addition to the general athletic rtogram. O O I

Well. the Tommy Ivan-coached Detroit Red Wings have finally been declared the new Slnnicv Cup champions. symbolic of world professional hockey supremacy. but not without a terrific struggle. Their series with New York Rang- era will likely go down in hockey history as one of the outstanding events in Stanley Cup playoff

competition. I

Going into the series as some- thing like a 12-5 underdor: to takc the Cup. the Rangers made it an uphill battle for Detroit all the way ln a series that was studded with hair-raising action and was sent into the full route of seven games before the Detroltcrs fin- ally emerged the winners. The final game on Sunday night will certainly be a highlight in N. if. L. history. A torrid battle that went to twenty-eight minutes and thirty-one seconds of overtime be- fore it was decided and saw the two teams battle furiously for a total of fifty-two minutes and four seconds to score one tally that re- sulted in a 4-3 verdict for the new champs. A dramatic ending to a series that needed overtime play to decide three of its seven games by I one goal margin.

Curran and Briggs bowling team won the Summer-side Commercial League championship for the sec- ond consccutive year by defeat- ing the Cily Slickcrs in the lea- gue finals by 652 pins. The team with very few changes has now won the title for three years but they played under the name of Trinity United the first year and so cannot lay permanent claim to the Harold Gaudet trophy which must be won for three consecu- tive years to become the per- manent possession of any club.

Allie Harris. the ace of the team, bowls a beautiful ball and never gets rattled. When he misses a single four or five-pin it is news. Austin Brooks, like Harris. with the team for three years, is wparently at his best when the chips are piled high. His 240 average in the final eight games was probably a new high although we haven't thumbed any records. George Guergis is very deliberate in his bowling. takes I careful aim before letting the bail go. He, as well as Harris and Brooks. is a member of the "200 Club," Waiter Schurman bowls a very slow but accurate bail. Schurman was over 200 most of the season but dipped down to li)7 before the regular schedule ended. Doug Harkness is a fast- ball bowler and had an average of 195 for the season. Ralph Ed- wards, the "sixth man" on the team got out of the 180's just four weeks before the regular schedule ended and finished with an aver- age of 101. When you get a team with no player under 190. brother. you've got a team. The West End- era were also all over 190. how- ever.

Baseball stories are beginning to get into the local papers. It is possible that Sumrmerside will enter a team in a Maritime Cen- tral "B" League. but there is nothing definite as yet. Amherst is willing to enter this league, if it is organized. but Springhlll will not know until tomorrow (Wed- nesday). Nothing definlte is known about St. Josephs as yet. and Sackvlile has not been ap- proached. Charlottetown ls also a big question mark as far as this proposed league is concerned.
