YOU AVAILABLE This famous question Are You Available is being thrown aroundagain those days by the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League But this time the fellow asked was only the trainer Tim qaley While Conn Smythe was finding out that he still had the genial old gentleman on his side he was being educated to the fact that Billy lteay might be the new coach of lhe Tomntonians This wés apparently quite embarrassing to the Little ltlaior since he had already asked Howie dccker if he was available Meeker said yes This latest figure to crop lip lteay is by no means stranger to thebig tent Up til couple of years ago he was star forward with the hiohfieal Canadiens Last season he coachcd the newlyformed Rochester Americans in the AHL and came through with job quite well done The Amerks were fighting for second lace when the sea son closed then went on to the finnls against the oveland Barons Smythe said that he had given May thought but that was alL Olhcrs besides hicekcrwho were mentioned for the post were Alfie Pike Turk Broda and Bob Goldhum more probable change in the Lcafs organization would be to find front office space ofiiarold Ballard and Stafford Smythc the brain trust of the Toronto Marlboros lt lsfclt that both Ballard and Staff are advocates of wideopen hockey and exaggerate scoring rather than defence It didnt appear so this past season anyhow The

last several months is he in shnpe7 Do the promoters figure he will aid or detain Chuvalos predicmd climbl further note picked up indicated that Parker was nlilcs overweight and that he was not too interested in furthering his oncepromising boxing career Included with this last bit of infor was that Parker had himself comfortable job in Philadelphia and had no need for tight money Who knows what the case may be Parker was unavailable for com ment Some of the ambitious talk is coming from Yvon Dnrelle the Canadian lightweight boxing champion and former middleweight title holder Durelle wants third title and wants Parker as the other half of the heavyweight championship battle So whether or not came this way to fight or not he sure got himself into couple of good in aglnary tangles Orare
