Speaking of the boxing world, there is an interesting fight coming up next Wednesday night at Masaryk Hall between Canadian light heavyweight champion Al Sparks of Winnipeg and the challenger, Frankie Bullard Jr. of Toronto. The bout is being promoted by Sully Sullivan and is for the title over a twelve round span. all that. This was because they were named in the OHA con- stitution as being part of the league, whereas Whitby was not listed. An overwhelming vote on Saturday added Whitby’s name to the list. This could stand the Lascoes in good stead as it would appear that either expansion or realignment has got to come within a year or two and if the OHA decides to limit the Metro Group to ten teams, which is what they are being ask- ed to do, a second Toronto league would have to be formed if sufficient entries warrant it. Ellis is expected to keep the title just as long as he can dodge a bout with Joe Frazier who elected to fight as an independent rather than fight in the elimination series. Frazier is rated as a much higher prospect than any of the fighters taking part in the elimination. Stories have it that Cassius Clay is trying to get per- mission to make a comeback and if he does come out of retirement he should take his rightful place at the top of the heap with a minimum of trouble. ' Whitby Lascoes have been members of the Metro Group Junior B Hockey League for several years and yet have not been able to enjoy the full privileges which goes with the membership to the lodge. Last Saturday's vote at the Ontario Hockey Association annual meeting changed Jimmy Ellis is the newly crowned world's heavyweight boxing champion. At least, say several states within the U.S. borders. He achieved this honor by outdancing Jerry Quarry last Saturday night in a 15 round title bout at Oakland, Cal. WHITBY GAINS RECOGNITION In the past, Whitby were barred from picking up players in the Metro Toronto area without having them declared as waiirered or imports. This despite the fact Dixie, Brampton and Aurora, who are also outside the Metro area, were immune from the ruling. LEAFS OPEN WEDNESDAY After a series of exhibi- tion games, trying out their new rules, the professional lacrosse players league ap- pears to be set for its series of openings next week, The league opens at De- troit Sunday night as To- ronto pays a visit to play Jim Bishop's Ol y m pic s. Detroit officially opens the season locally by playing at Maple Leaf Gardens next Wednesday night. Montreal moves into Peterborough for a Thursday game”. The only thing remaining now is for the fimlgame of the Cup finals so that lottery ticket holders can wait to see if the ticket they bought will be the lucky one. At this time of year hockey pool tickets are available in abundant amounts, most of them featuring the winning Stanley Cup goal in the final game. According to all wire reports, the bout was from Dullsville and it seems unfair to stick Oakland with two lemons, in one season, namely this alleged boxing bout and the Oakland Seals of the NHL.

The first choice wt: to use the Canadian var-ion of “T"- ball, called "Ptmutt" Ball. Thin form of bubball um shorter base paths, and "punk ruler from the generally accepted standard baseball rezulntianl. The second choice was to use the Americnn "T"-Ball system, with standard Atom-sized base paths, and the regular baseball rules. The only change in the standard baseball regulations here is that the batter hits the ball off a rubber "T", rather than striking " 1 pitched ball. The pitcher remains in the usual field position, but acts only as an extra infielder, since he is not required to "pitch". Since there is no pitcher to throw the ball toward basel other than home plate, there are no long "lead. offs" or "stolen hues” allowed. After much discussion of the pros and cons” of. bath systems, the league decided to abandon the' Canadianized "Petutut" sys- tem in favor of the "T'uball system which is closer to the standard form of buebull.

With his assistant conch unable to make it for the first practice session, Ron was ably assisted by Mrs. Barbara Kirkey, the league’s first female coach.

From the Cutholic Virginian, quoted by the Ontario Safety League. The Ontario Safety League says that a leading British sur- geon, Professor Michael Wood- ruff has appealed o e than three million 1e1t'o-fPJid to bequeath their bodies for "spare parts" transplant operations. His scheme could save 2,000 lives a year in Britain, he says. The suggestion is that motor- ists should sign, and carry with their driver's licence, a form headed: "Consent to Medical Use of Body in Event of Death". Even though a person has be- queathed his body, the next of kin's permission is still required; but the form will reduce the valuable time it takes to contact a relative after death.
