By JOE MacSWEEN Halifax, June 1--(CP) --The vag- aries of Canadian boxing in the middleweight division have set, Alex {Halifax 'Herald) Nickerson think< ng. "Gaul," says Nick, "as a whale, may be divided into three parts-- but the Canadian middleweight championship, without benefit of Caesar, has been divided into four parts. "The first or major part is claim- ed Len Wadsworth of Sudbury, familton., The other claimants, order, are Roger Whynott of Ahone Bay, N.S, Pete Zaduk of i to and George Ross of New » Waterford, N.S, « "Whynott and later Zaduk, won . decisions over Wadsworth, the rec- 'ognized . . . ruler, in 10-round con- tests, The Canadian Boxing Fed- eration--a self-appointed organiza- tion with officials in Ontario and Quebec--.refused to recognize these bouts because they were not over the 12-round route." Early this month at Glace Bay, N.S. Ross, a coal miinér, battered Wadsworth to submission in ax12. # round fracas. "Nevertheless," con- |; tinueg Nick, "the C.B.F. ruled that Wadsworth was still the Canadian middleweight ruler." Nick claims that Ross now is Canuck middleweight champ. He is adamant on the point, and he is by no means alone, In his column he published a let. ter from Sammy Keller, Manager of Zaduk, who wishes to match the Ontario lad and Ross for the title, Says Keller in the letter: "Zaduk, as you m#y know, just previous to the Ross-Wadsworth bout in Glace Bay, decisively defeated Wads- worth in Kitchener, Ont. . . . Keller then expounded his pro- posal of a Ross-Zaduk tangle and added "This matter has been dis cussed by the Canadian Boxing Federation and I am sure that their official sanction would be given to Such a match as being for the e. i AUSSIES GO BY PLANE Melbourne, June 1--(AP)--Aus- tralia's Olympic team will leave by plane for London in three groups, June 19, 24 and 26. The team will be housed temporarily at Richmond Park, London, until the Olympic Village opens July 8. YESTERDAY'S STARS By The Associated Press Batting -- Bobby Brown, Yankees, cracked seven straight hits including second game winning home run as the Yankees took both ends of a double header from the Washington Senators et ng--Ken Raffensberger, Reds, pitched 3 Sne-nit shutout A the swept ends of a the St. Louis Card 544. s louble header Jom nals 4-3 and Roller Skating , Wednesday Afternoon o Wednesday Night CHIT ARENA 6! Brantford's Red Sox said it in a convincing manner last night to move into sole possession of fifth place in the Inter-County baseball senior series by trouncing Guelph Maple Leafs 12-2 at Brantford. London Majors were helped by three Galt errors to defeat Terri- ers 5-1 in a rather listless tilt at Galt. No other senior games were played. Angelo Torti, who has been com- plaining of a sore arm of late, was the big man in the Sox win. His arm held up well enough to limit Leafs to four hits over the entire route. He also fanned 11 batters and then, just to make things sure, hit a home run inside the park. He never lost control ds Leafs never threatened seriously. Near Fight At Galt The Galt-London tilt ended in a near free-for-all. When London ended the game with a twinkilling, the Majors' first baseman "Mush" Higgins threw the ball at "Oracky" Liscombe, after the latter had cros- sed the bag. The two players then tangled and after being separated by team mates, resumed the feud. Errors paved the way for Lon- don's first run. Galt's run in the second came on two hits and a sac- ritice. while Russ Evon's first dou- ble in the third showed the way for Major's third counter. Redmen Win Third 'Up North, Copper Cliff Redmen ran their victory string in the Nic- kel Belt Senior Baseball League to three-straight, by defeating Creigh- ton Cubs 5-1. Sudbury Shamrocks handed Coniston Buzzers a 4-1 set- 'back in the other Nickel Belt game. Frank Ovis started weakly for Copper Oliff and gave up three straight walks in the opening inn- ing before he settled down to tame Creighton with a six-hit perform- ance. Ovis squeezed out of his first inning trouble with the Cubs man- aging to score only one run. Red- men then moved ahead on four runs in two innings when Johnny Wagner of the?Cubs was touched for four singles. Sudbury Victory Maurice Stamour deserved credit for Sudbury's victory over Conis- ton, by hurling neat three-hit bal and fanning 12 batters. Opposing pitcher Johnny Luptak gave up 11 hits in dropping the decision. Moe Palermo was the big man in the Sudbury attack with a single, double and triple, Playing-Coach Lige Beaver slammed out a homer BRANTF ORD, LONDON WIN INTER-COUNTY TILTS, TEMPERS FLARE AT GALT with one aboard and Harry Had- dow's double in the ninth scored the last two runs of the game. In the lone Central Ontario Baseball League senior game, Bat- awa scored a 4-3 upset victory over Kingston Locos, at Kingston. The winners, however, deserved the vic- tory and outplayed the Locos in fielding, commiting one error to Kingston's six. Losing pitcher Jim 8herwood was relieved by Jack Stone after the first man up had singled in the seventh. Stone hurled hitless ball the rest of the way striking out six with his speed ball. KINGSTON LOCOS LOSE AGAIN, AT HOME BATAWA WINS COBL TILT AT KINGSTON, 4-3 Kingston, June 1 (CP)--Batawa sprung a shocking surprise when they edged Kingston Locecs, 4-3, in last night's COBL senior game in Megaffin Stadium. The visitors, however, were full value for their victory as they surpassed the Lo- cos in fielding, making only one error as against a total of six. Jim Sherwood, formerly of the Smiths Falls' Railroaders, was the beaten pitcher. He was replaced by Jack Stone after the first man up in the seventh singled and the rest of the way Stone, firing a speed ball, mowed down the batsmen while striking out six and hurling hitless ball, Batawa: Spencer, rf w on (] > co~NOWmROO~ Peacock, cf, Rankin, 3b Bridgeman, Solmes, 2b Bedard, p .

WESTMOUNT NOSES OUT HARMONY 8-7 In #n East Whitby Township In- termediate Softball League opening game, last night at Radio Park, the Westmount homesters nosed out the visiting Harmony team 8-7 in a well-played contest, Westmount got to Hodgson in the first inning for one run and then staged a 3-run rally in the third frame, with Dawe and L. Childer- hose getting the big blows. The winners added one in the 5th, a couple in the 6th and scored one in the 8th, when Mallette doubled and scored on a hit by Bushford. Harmony went ahead in the first inning but Al. McKee's pitching was too good for them after that. | Terwilligar drove in Brown in the opening frame. Harmony didn't score again until the 5th, when they got one. They added two in the sixth on McCabe's timely blow, got one in the 7th, to climb closer and then scored two in the 8th, to make it 7-7 but Westmount scored their 8th run in the last half of the 8th and Harmony went out in order in the 9th, as McKee fanned two of the three batters to end the game.

Another effort will be made to get the boys out on 'Thursday night at Alexandra Park and the following players are requested to take no- tice: Bill Smith, Joe France, Jimmy Smith, Ralph Brown, Jimmy Tait, Stan Moore, W.

Mauri Rose Wins At Indianapolis, Sets New Record By DALE BURGESS Indianapolis, June 1 -- (AP) -- Fighting off challenges all the way, Mauri Rose of South Bend, Ind, Monday won the speediest 500-mile automchbile race since the Indian- apolis Motor Speedway's first Mem- orial Day feature in 1911. Rose crossed the finish line with an average of 119.813 miles an hour for his third speedway victory and hig second in a row. Right behind were his hard-luck team-mate, Bill Holland of Read- ing, Pa, at 119.147; Duke Nalon, Los Angeles, 118.934 and Ted Horn, Paterson, N.J, 117.844. All four of those times were bet- ter than the previous record of 117.2 miles an hour, set 10 years ago by the late Floyd Roberts. © It seemed to be a record crowd as well as a record race. The crowd appeared to be between 150,000 and race and surrendered the victdry to Rose. Holland had bad luck again Mon- day. He was running strongly near the end when his transmission be- gan kicking out of gear. Duke Nalon also was coming up fast in the Novi grooved-piston Special when he had to make a pit stop for fuel. Nalon and Horn both made two pit stops to one each for Rose and Holland, and that was the differ- ence at the finish. Horn neverthe- less remained the most consistent driver who ever rode the Indian- apolis bricks. It was the ninth- straight race in "which he had placed fourth or better, although he never has won. He drove Wilbur Shaw's old Masterati, now owned by H. C. (Cotton) Henning, which apparently was unharmed by a mysterious pre-race sabotage at- tempt, Mack Hellings, Burbank, Calif. won fifth money in the new Don Lee Kurtis-Kraft. Finishers besides Hellings were Hal Cole, South Gate, Calif,, sixth, in the "City of Tacoma" Kurtis- Kraft, and Lee Wallard, a first- time driver from Schenectady, N.Y. seventh in the Iddings Special.
