WHYNOT +z» Canadian Press Staff Writer * Halifax, Nov, 18--(CP)--The con- sdestants, say local scribes of the "manly art of boxing, aren't the only ones who get black eyes. » MA black eye for boxing" was the way Alex (Halifax Herald) Nicker- »- son described an eight-round fea- %' ture bout at nearby Dartmouth be- tween Johnny Bouffard of Quebec . and Irish Clem Crowley of Dor- + chester, Mass, © "Never;" says Nick "were so many punches thrown on so many gloves ! by so few people. The fans started giving the Bronx cheer after the * first round. The farce went on four rounds. . . after the judges turned their cards face down and pullel back their chairs from thé apron of the ring. The best things that could be said about it was that it ended." The bout ended when Crowley-- "in no condition to enter a ring let alone fight"--decidéd not to come . out for the sixth. Continued Nick: "The necessity of a town having a commission to control profession- al boxing was never more apparent . .» it wasn't the boxers who took a "heating. , . as usual it was Jom Q. Public." Ace (Halifax Chronicle) Foley was not one to disagree. Said he: "Most (of the people who attend- ed) were pretty disgusted with the . show. If Dartmouth is to revive boxing more capable fighters must + be secured. Better have a few young inexperienced but willing fighters than fellows who don't even make The scribes were no more enthus- jastic about another fight at Lun- enburg which saw Terrance (Tiger) Warrington, 36-year-old one-time ruler of<both the Canadian Light- heavy and Heavyweight division, make a return against Red Ryan of "~Boston, The Tiger came from his corner, Janded a light left jab and Ryan L took to the canvas for the full »'count--then, according to the Her- - ald, "jumped to his feet as fresh as » Immediately after the fight the South Shore Boxing Commission interviewed the judges and an- <nounced that Ryan had intention- ally laid down.

MOTOR CITY LEAGUE Lloyd Hall paced the Palm Cigars to a nice victory over Sam Rottish's boys and the Jubilee Pavilion "¢lub stayed right behind the cigar smokers when they nipped Wilson Batteries for 3 points, This is the second defeat for the battery men in as many weeks, sO we look for a victory next Friday night or else. Esquire Grill 'picked up another 3 points from the luckless Andy Nagy outfit while Hill-Cornish humbled the Mutual Benefits for 3 points. It could have been 4 points if Archie McBlack had made sure of that 4 pin in the last frame. Joe Brown came through again with another triple over 800. Doug. Harding fought hard for Mutual Bene- fit but lacked support. Myrle Reeson and "Pop" Bemis came through strong for Belmont Motors when they walloped Warner William's trundlers for 3 points and moved them up within striking distance of top place. Myrle is now hitting his stride and with another year or two exper- ience "pop" Bemis should make a good bowler, "Nice going, Pop". With one more week to go in the first section it should be quite a battle on Friday night when Hill-Cornish and Palm Cigars clash with only 2 points separating the two clubs. Jubilee Pavi- lion and Esquire Grill should also be & real clash as both these teams are in the running. Belmont Motors might sneak in the back door while all is is going on. Wilson Batteries will be after the next section. Boddy's Tanners now have the first section sewed up in group 2 and can- not be overtaken as they have a 5- int lead over the Wheel & Tire ous- t. Nice work boys. The Tiremen have done very well in the first section and should be a real contender in the play- offs. The Primers are now on the move and with "red" Goring and Harold Strathdee in form we expect to hear more about these Primers in the next section, The Aces finally cked up 2 points and the Bus Drivers were going good before last Friday. Jack Klapow was-the head man for the Aces; us Trott's Exporters came out on top against the Shippers who were handi- capped by having to use Henry Foote on their line-up. Henry was really in form last Friday and turned in a score which .should be kept a secret. Bob Skelton was a big factor in the Export victory. The Doorbusters are still leading the parade in group 3 with the Trim- mers close behind but the Chev. Assy club must be rated the most improved team in the group as the standing will indicate. The Chevies lost the maxim- points in the first two night's but they have never looked nce. Skinners and Inspection are staging a real battle in group 4 with the Skin- ner club leading by 2 points. Duplate can also move in if either of these two make a slip. If Inspection can take 4 points from Skinners on Wednesday they are in there.

"On Intentional Pass os ... Chicago, Nov. 17--A plan to sup- press the intentional walk, baseball's most irking stratagem to the aver- age fan, by making it worth two bases, was proposed by Jack Shee. han, director of Chicago Cubs' farm system. = Sheehan also proposed a restrict- "ing catcher's box which would force the pitcher to throw the ball some- ~ where within the vicinity of the plate against all batters. "I've done considerable travelling in the last few years," explained Sheehan, "and listened to a lot of fans. Most of them gripe about . the purposeful. a a + "They come out to see the big . guys hit. Maybe a customer only . gets * chance to see Williams or Mize 'a couple of games a year and + he has to sit there and watch some . pitcher put "em on first. There's i no thrill to that and the guy goes , home feeling as if he's been cheated + of his money's worth." : Under Sheehan's plan, the catch- ' er would be confined to a box six : feet deep' and six feet five inches : wide, formed by extending white : lines back six feet from exactly half- « vay across the rear of each batter's * 0X: - The rule would require the catch- er to have both feet in the box be- « fore any ball is pitched and one + foot in it after the ball is on its ! way, thus permitting him freedom of his hands and stretch, but forec- . ing the pitcher to come in around , the plate with the ball, , the umpire would de- clare a two-base intentional walk. The catcher, however, would be al- lowed to chase any muffed ball, the same as now, and base-runners 5 would move at their own risk, ¢ :Syl Apps and Leafs Montreal, Nov. 18--(CP)--As Syl .

BOWLING LEAGUE The standing this week sure 'took quite a change when the Doodlebugs took the Rangers for three points and with only two more nights in this sec- tion, there is going to be quite a race to see who comes out on" top. Boom- .erangs took three from the phoons! Skippers two from the Blitzers, Go- Gettors two from the Jesters and Quakers two from the Commandoes. From here it looks as if its going to be a race between the Doodlebugs and the Blitzers and Boomerangs, but you can't tell until the last ball is thrown. The best scores of the season so far, were bowled this week. It must be the lucky seventh night for some. Ada Lockwood had the best double of the year and will be hard to beat. 8he got 300 and. 217, but then all she had to do was throw. the balls when Sammy Mann handed them to her and didn't have to waste any energy walking back and forth to the racks. Nice going kid. Bea Ross was right after her with 214 and 278. Edna Richards had one real ood game of 262 and with a little uck in a couple of frames would have had a much higher double than 412. In the 200's were May Mathews with 242, | Lucy Crome 231 and Toots with 210.

Treasurer, Bill Matthews; Referees, Garf Peters, Gord Hurst, Norm Al- len and Butch Dyas. In the opening game, Pitt's were pretty evenly matched with Fittings, and only the work of the two goalies kept the score to 2-0. Corbett and Twinney were the big guns for Pitt's in their win. The four stars on the Ray Ben- nett sweaters shone a little brighter after their 5-0 shutout win over Du. plate. They lost an exhibition game to Pitt's on Friday by the score of 5-1, Perry had three goals for the winner in the league with Trimm and McMaster potting the other two goals. In the dinner.-hour set-to, G.M. Parts with a couple of gift goals kept Robson Leather out of the win column when they chalked up a 5-0 win. Rink length rushes were the thing, with Brisebois in the Pitt's nets dojng a superb job of turning aside the rubber. R. March scored three, while D. Morris, and W. Vipond plit the difference. The Mid-Town taxi boys cruised around the Courtice team beat the Courtice netminder five times be- fore the game ended. Czerewaty 'in the Taxi nets was on his toes, but let one shot through for a final score of 5-1. Bouckley of Mid-Town got the only major penalty of the night for drawing blood on the head of 'Hulton of Courtice. Johnson banged in the lone Courtice tally, in a close tilt 3-1. The Faber team who were mainly of last year's Monarchs have yet to regain the form that made them such a potent combination in the loop last year. Doug Furey and Andy McMullen of last year's' Intermediate squad kept young Claus in the Faber nets con- tinuously on 'the jump. McMullen led the scoring with two goals, closely followed by 'Shettler with the third. John Drummond back from a stint in the Scottish Ice Hockey League, potted the -only Faber counter. Hockey Referees Must Have Prestige Says Campbell Toronto, Nov. 18--(CP)--A hockey referee's most valued asset is "pres- | tige" Clarence Campbell, President of the National Hockey League, told referees, coaches and managers at the annual rules discussion meet- 5 | ing of the Ontario Hockey Associa- tion. "A good referee is one who has 27 | the ability to inspire.confidence in { others of his ability to handle the | game and his correct application of | the playing rules," Campbell said. "The man in the white sweater and blowing the whistle should 7| handle his duties in such a manner as to always remain in the back- . ground.' Campbell gave the O.H.A. meeting an inside of the basic directive now in effect for N.H.L. officials. "They must be firm and be quick," he said. "Their personal conduct must be above reproach. They must keep away from gambling and gambling places and avoid abusive language to spectajors and especially, in the amateur ranks, adjust théir style of refereeing to the age and equip- ment of competitors." "In caes of trouble," Campbell said, "give the red-hot player, or players, a chance to cool out and if they come back, then make your decision but fast. A referee who delays in his action at such a time is lost. Keep to miniumum person- al contact with the players, espec- lally older players and never wise- crack, or try to be funny with any hockey player in the heat of a game." N.Y. Grand Jury Probe Lamotta's T.K.0. Last Sat. New York, Nov. 18--(AP)--The New York County grand jury, un- der the direction of the District Attorney's office, for the second time within a year has stepped in to investigate the 'city's boxing sit- uation, The probe came as a result of ¢ | unfavorable echoes over last Fri- day might's Madison Square Gar- den right in which Obailly Fox of Philadelphia was awarded a T.K.O. over Jake Lamotta of New York in the fourth round of a scheduled 10- rounder. Coincident with the announce- ment by District Attorney Frank S. Hogan yesterday, Col. Eddie Eagan, chairmén of the State Athlettic (boxing) Commission proclaimed that he had ordered Sol Strauss, promoter of the 20th century sport- ing club, to withhold the purses of Fox and Lamotta pending an in- commission. They were to have been paid $23,910.22 each from the gross receipts of the $102,528 paid 18,340 fans. Specifically the two separate in- vestigations are the result of ad- verse newspaper-eriticism and ru- LIers of a "fix" of the Fox-Lamotta fight. Hogan said that the rackets bur- eau of his office will do the investi- gating and that any evidence will be turned over to the third Feb- ruary Grand Jury, whose term has the same jury which listened to the facts in the Alleged $100,000 bribe offered middleweight champion ance; George E.
