(I: lack Hand) Cl-ilCAGO.. Feb. 14- (AP) - Sugar Ray Robinson stripped

rossy. blood-smeared Jake La-

otta of his world middleweight title tonight on a technical knock- out at 2:04 of the 13th round without ruining Jake's proud boast of never; being floored.

Referee Frank Sykora stepped between the battlers as the squat Bronx Hull lagged und grabbed Sugar Ray's trunks to avoid a knock down. l..aMol.ta. 'game but badly beaten in the last five rounds, clutched the ropes and wandered to his corner under his own power.

The slick Harlem Sugar Dandy automatically yielded up his world welterweight crown under Illinois rules when his hand was raised in victory. But he became the fourth man in boxing history to have held both the weiter and middle crowns during their

careers.

Most of the 14!! customers who cont:-ibuttcd to a 'I180.9l9.64 gross gate were Lauotta partis- ans. They came to cheer the un- derdog. They went home talking about the new champ and the game stand of jolilng Jake. The net gate was t!38.93a.l9.

Robinson spear-ed stout Jake with searing lefts in the early rounds while retreating under La- Motta's body fire. When be open- ed the floodgates in the ninth the end was in sllht.

Still Jake, who had to hump himself to make the 160 pounds. gamely fought on under teeth- rattilng fire through the one-sid- ed 11th and 12th rounds until he simply could not take any more.

As LaMotta left the fine. the big Chicago Stadium crowd gave him a send-off with "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow" to Oflan ac-

Fans And Friends Honor

Boucher At

By Al. C01.l..E'I'l'l

NEW YORK, Feb. 14 - (C Frank Boucher received prob ly the best valentine of his life to- night.

The 48-year-old managers of Raingars was feted in a ceremony befom the New-York-Chicago game at Madison Square Garden. Around him were city officials; Clarence Campbell. president of the National Hockey League, and eeveral of his old teaum-mates who came by plane and train to at- tend ”Fra.nk Boucher Night."

It was the sccoodsiime in Garden history that a hockey figure was so honored. Lester Patrick, Bou- oher's old boss. was given I ”n'tght" Dec. 3, 1947.

Boucher had onoumr gifts to make up a jackpot on a radio quiz program. The farm gave him a 1951 Studebaker; the team I tole- vision set. The hockey writers presented him with a typewriter.

.His hometown frlenih at Moun-

eoln. 0nt., contributed an oil bum- er for this farm. -

Earl Boucher, Frank's 25-year- old son, came down from Mountain lfor tihe occasion. Frank gave Earl the farm as aweddlng present and fur-chued soother one adjoining

t

Boucher was tickled ever the at- rival of his old linemates, Bill and Bum Cooke Murray Murdoch. an- other member of line original 1925 Ranger club. was on hand. His re- cord of playing in 538 consecutive 'N.H.L. regular games still stands.

Alfie Plloe and Snuffy Smith, who is coach of the St. Paul Saints, a Ranger form. also were at the celebration.

cm his big day Boucher seemed to go out of his way to avoid the spotlight. He talked about the 1926 team at some length and of how Conn Smyiihe recruited the players and made iihem do road- work in the morning before prac-

tices. .

"After those sessiom we were so stiff we could hardly walk." Boucher said. "But we were I rollicking crew and could take it."

Boucher iihlrnks the most notable occasion in his 25 your associa- tion with the Rangers as player. coach and manager was the 28 Stanley Cup finals, when the Rui- gers defeated Montreal Maroons. three games to two. Boucher scor- ed ail but one of the winning goals in the series.

Local hockey farm who wii.neas- ed ithe Glace Bay Miners garner a. 4-2 verdict over the Charlotte- town Islanders here a couple of weeks ago in an exhibition con- test and were looking forward to knowing how the Islanders would fare out in a return match. will not have that opportunity this season. The two teams were sche- duled to meet at the new Dart- mouth. N.S. rink tonight, but the contest has been called off, it was made known here yesterday by Major Tom Rogers. president of the Islanders Hockey Club.

O I 0

President Rogers stated that the game was cancelled when Dart- .mouth rink officla-is informed re- presenbatives of boiih clubs that the rink would not be ready for play due to trouble in the rlnk's cooling system for making ice. It is understood that air got into the brine circulating pipes and will necessitate them all being drained, etc. That would postpone the opening of the rink on that date. Major Rogers stated that arrange- ments could have been made to play the game at a later date this moniih. but that the club did not iihink it advisable so close to play- off time, and that it was doubt- ful if iihe Islanders would play any more exlliibition games this sea- son.

Major Tom released the infor- mation from his home where he has been confined for the past couple of days with a slight case of influenza and expects to be laid up for a few more days before he will be out and around again. His many friends will be wishing him a. speedy returln to good health.

. Buddy Lund, Island lightweight boxing champion, has received an offer from Nat Forman, well- lonowui United Stats trainer and rpromoter. to go to Brooklyn, New York, to participate in US. ring circles under his personal tute- lage. Bud received the offer by personal letter from Formam in which he offered ilbc local scrap- per a olnmce to break into the pro ranks there. said Forman: "I'll take you under my personal man- agement, give you the best of care and plenty of. opportunities.”

Lu:-id slated yesterday that he was definitely keen on the idea of talking a crack at the game up there, but ithat he will contact For- man for more information before coming to any decision. Forman quoted in his letter that he could get hlrn :60 for all 4-round bouts and 3100 for six round affairs to start off with.

loo Laiaoureuxk Islanders show- ed arm-owed form over recent ll-NW here last night when they downed saint John Beavers 0-1 in a regu- lar Marltirne Major Hockey League

' t before a crowd of 1.100 cash oustcsners.

The victory sends their league leadership back up to 1'! points over second place Halifax saint Mary's and are now only two wins away from clinching first place in the regular schedule.

Islanders definitely outclassed an understrength ll-man Beavers squad for two periods to pile up a 5-1 advantage and broke even with Saint John in the closing session witlra marker each to hold a tidy 4-gcsl scoring advantage.

Bruno "Red" Favero and Marcel Clements were missing from the Is- landers' roster while Jack Hahn. Jack Thaler, Manny McIntyre and Vlo Jackson were not on the Beav- ers' lineup. coach has Ramsay. however. donned the blades to bring the Beavers up to playing strength and came up with an im- preasive performance for his team and potted one of their "two tallies.

Defenceman George Mcbagan and Wes "Buckle" Trainer shared the polntgettlng honors with three points each, Mcl.o,gan's on two goals and an assist and Ti-ainor one goal and two assists. other goal- getters for Islanders were Walter Pawlyshyn. Mac Benton and Hub Beaudry with Bathgate. Travis, Mon-ow. Cecil Dowling, Beaudry and Johnny Horeck also collecting assists.

Paul Plats came up with the leading effort for Beavers when he potted their first goal unassisted and assisted Ramsay on the other.

Goallcs Hal Gordon and Dennis Brodeur came up with more than their share of pretty -work on the night's play, with Brodcur being particularly outstanding in the sec- ond period and Gordon really hot in the closing session.

Opens scoring

Walter Pawlyahyn opened the first period scoring at the 2:14 mark when he teamed up with Bethgaio and Trainer in a power attack around the net while Bridle Bolan was serving a penalty for roughing. Trainer sent the some to 2-0 at 7:46 when he slapped home Morrow's pass during a ham- mering attack around the saint John cage. Plat: fired home Beav- ers' first marker on a nice effort at 12:34 when he intercepted a pass by Trainer at the Islanders blue- line to break right in on Gordon all alone and beat him cleanly with a hard shot. .
