} THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, May 9, 1967 Windsor Middleweight Aiming At Richardson By KEN PRITCHARD NEW YORK (CP) -- "He punches tape for a living and other middleweights for relax- ation." The phrase, or some vari- ation of it, usually crops up in conversation about Jim Meilleur, teletype operator and boxer. "You can drop that 'relaxa- tion' bit,'"' growled the black- haired slugger from Windsor, Ont. Meilleur, a muscular 157 pounds, was perspiring freely from a fast workout with a sparring partner in a Harlem gymnasium. He's preparing for a May 13 bout with Blair Richardson for the Canadian iddleweight championshi "I had begun to think I'd die of old age before getting this bout," said Meilleur, 31. The 12-round encounter with Richardson will take place in Glace Bay, N.S., not far from Richardson's home of South Bar. Richardson's British Em- pire middleweight title will not be at stake. "T"ve been No. 1 middle- weight contender in Canada for three years," said Meil- leur. 'I've been pointing for this fight a long time." UNCLE WAS CHAMP Meilleur was born in Mat- tawa, Ont., raised in Windsor and now fights out of New York, where he is a teletype operator--known in the trade as a puncher--for The Cana- dian Press. "How did I start boxing? My uncle, Nels Beaudry of Sudbury, was once Canadian Army welterweight champion. He gave me some encourage- ment and I fought my first amateur bout in Sudbury when I was 16 years old." Meilleur had 68 amateur bouts and won 61. In 1960 he took the welterweight honors at a U.S. - Canada boxing tournament in Windsor. "T started fighting as a pro- fessional in 1963, and have had 33 pro fights. The count is 25 victories, six losses and two draws." The record also shows he never has been 'knocked out. As a pro he has been in against a few light heavy- weights, as well as welter- Weights and middleweights. "Its hard for me to get down to the welterweight limit of 147 pounds. But the middle- weight limit of 160 pounds is no problem." In addition to being No. 1 The record also shows te never has been knocked out. a pro he has been in against a few light heavy- weights, as well as welter- weights and middleweights. "It's hard for me to get down to the welterweight limit Of 147 pounds. But the middle- weight limit of 160 pounds is ho problem." IN EMPIRE RATINGS In addition to being No. 1 challenger for the Canadi JIM MEILLEUR - « - Canadian hopeful middleweight title, Meilleur also has earned a place in British Empire middleweight rankings. "I was made eighth con- tender for the Empire title after winning a 10-round unan- imous decision over Lennie Sparks of Halifax last sum- mer. That was in a non-title bout in Summerside, P.E.I." As his pro career has gone forward, Meilleur has gone up against some _ highly-re- garded fighters.' "My six pro losses were all to top-ranked boxers, includ- ing Pete Toro, the man the World Boxing Association ranks No. 5 welterweight con- tender. That was in San Juan, Puerto Rico, April 15." Although never counted out in the ring, Meilleur's record shows one loss by technical knockout. A 1966 meeting with Ohio welterweight champion Fate Davis was stopped when Meilleur suffered a_ recur- rence of a rib injury. "I feel my other five losses, all by decision, could have gone either way. All the fights were in the other fellow's ter- ritory. I've never had a pro including Marty Servo and Al McCoy. 'My manager is Al Bach- man, who also manages Ca- nadians Joey Durelle and Burke Emery." Meilleur, who normally spends 2% hours in Wylie's gym every afternoon before going on to his night job punching a teletype keyboard, is stepping up the training pace as May 13 approaches. By taking part of his annual' vacation, he's able to train all day. Richardson, mean- while, is working out in Bos- ton. "T want that title, and I'll be giving it all I've got," said Meilleur. 'I realize that there will be no tomorrow if I lose." Back in New York his per- sonal cheering section of wife, the former Beverly Ann Car- ver of Windsor, and children, Janice, 7, Jimmy, 6, Jodie, 3, and Jacqueline, 2, will be waiting and hoping for good news. LEAGUE LEADERS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS fight in my own home town." GOLDMAN IS TRAINER Meilleur has picked up a new management team since he was transferred to New York in 1965 from CP's Tor- onto head office. His trainer is Charlie Goldman, boxing's little gnome, who trained Rocky Marciano. "Charlie, who's about five feet tall, had more than 300 fights as a bantamweight. He also trained four other world champi besides Marciano, Scugog Cleaners Finish In Oshawa Scugog Cleaners five-pin club bowled well in the Willowdale Men's Major play- offs but had to settle for fourth position, in the 10-team Consol- ation series. The pace was terrific with Fraser Movers entry emerging as the winners, but being press- ed all the way by Plantation Bowl. Going into the fourth game, the Fraser crew was in first spot with what could be comfortable lead, with 4343 pin- fall, followed by Plantation 4054 then Scugogs with 3987. Plantation bit into this lead with a brilliant 1525 score in the fourth game, followed this up with 1390 and 1496 to finish the six-game series with a grand total of 8465. The Fraser club was equal to this challenge and held on to their lead by racking up 1365, 1419 and 1350 to wind up with 8477 to give them the title, by a mere 12-pin margin. Both clubs thus averaged over 1400 per game, which is sensational. Glen Valley Bowl finished third with 7980 and Scugog Cleaners fourth, with 7845, while the other clubs in order were: Ginn's Cartage 7628; Art's Taxi 7527; Orlando Con- struction 7330; British Cana- dian Construction 7188; Lucky Ontario Team Rolls Along ROCHESTER, N.Y.

Fourth Strikes 7056 while Sam Walkers brought up the rear with 7046. The Scugog club, while fin- ishing fourth, nevertheless did very well with a 1307-per-game average, which is usually good enough to win most contests.
