SANDERSON Petitioner "Storm the Gates, Girls" Will women be allowed to join the Orillia Curling club or will that august body remain the last bulwark of the so-called stronger sex? That's the jackpot question facing the 350-odd members of what is possibly the last all-man curling club in "captivity." This isn't the first attempt of the fair sex to crash the boys' retreat, but it's their number one bid since the club politely informed them there were "no openings" two years ago. Now, more determined and 80 strong, the lassies have Leader of Defence Forces attacked the problem via a petition which has caused province's fourth | largest "roaring sport" club to put the matter squarely up to its mem- | bership. And, before the final mail vote is counted come June 8, the life of a canine may be luxury ed to the exi male in Orillia, Ont. ~Central Press Canadian Photos. T SNAPSHOTS G3) .Oshawa Merchants have nearly all recovered after a good night's '| weight champion Joe Maxim wants BOYD MERKLEY -- PRESIDENT | of a curling] Oshawa Pedlars CHICAGO (AP) Ezzard Charles, heavyweight champion of the world is positive light-heavy- no more ring traffic with him. Maxim is of the same opinion, too, after absorbing a one-sided trimming by Charles at the Chica- go Stadium last night. It was their fourth engagement with Charles winner of them all. Charles, making the eighth de- | fence of his crown, won the un-| animous verdict of Referee Frank | Gilmer, two judges and the bored | approval of 7226 spectators in past- | ing Maxim for 15 rounds. Despite the poor crowd, Charles pocketed a $62,147.60 pay-check, thanks to a $100,000 television purse. Maxim got $31,073 for his losing effort. At the finish, Maxim was a reel- ing, tired, exhausted fighter. His right eye was swelling shut and he was bleeding from a cut under the eye and above it. Charles was unmarked and breathing no hard- er than if he had a brisk drill. Maxim's counters were feeble and he clinched continuously. He seemed to be on the verge of col- lapse several times, but gamely I remained on his feet until the final ong. He was treated with oxygen termittently for 45 minutes in the dressing room after the fight and appeared to be in an exhaust- ed condition. Crestfallen Maxim now is sched- uled to risk his 175-pound title against Chicago's Bob Satterfield in the Stadium June 27. But there was some question today of wheth- er he would recuperate sufficient- lv to fulfill that that engagement. HAS TOPPED EM ALL Charles, in repulsing Maxim's feeble bid for heavyweight honors, hit the jack-pot as champion by his victory. The Cincinnati Negro EZZARD CHARLES BEATS JOEY MAXIM FOURTH TIME --SHOULD BE LAST TOO! now has defeated every leading rival--Joe Louis, the former cham- pion; Jersey Joe Walcott; and now Maxim, the light-heavyweight champion. Speaking of Walcott, Charles' next outing may be against aging Jersey Joe at Pittsburgh July 18. Since there was only an eight- ounce difference in the weight of Charles and Maxim--182 l,--Max- im's followers had aniticipated a rousing battle last night. But Maxim was hurt in the opening round and failed to un- track himself thereafter. He was a slow, inept boxer. He could neither punch effectively nor | £ slug toe-to-toe with Charles. He | was an easy, wide-open target] throughout and Charles blasted | him with punches he gamely ab- | sorbed. { Maxim's best showing was in the | Chicago BASEBALL STANDINGS IE LLLLLLLRLLELE LE LL LL AMERICAN LEAGUE 26 9 ninth round.

What should be remembered, we think, that is if the O.B.A. is going to ignore finan- cial deals entirely, tien they should refuse to accept an entry from any of the Inter-County League teams, and also Oshawa and the Marines, all of whom for sure, are slightly tinged with a monetary touch that is a far-cry from the days when senior baseball was considered to be ateur, We say "considered" advisedly too -- because those rictly amateur" in senior ranks are longer back than we know about.
