Lions Plea 10 Rep|ay
Match Is Rejected

The Washington Hockey Lions
have gained a point in their argu-

over eligibility Of certain players
used when the Pics beat the Lions
in a playoh series game last week.
The Pics have agreed to drop those
players from the roster, but the
victory still stands.
Meeting in New York yesterday
with league officials, Coach Jack
Riley OF the Lions protested use OF
Eddie Emberg, Marcel Bessette and
Dan Porteous of the Valleyfield
Braves against Washington. He
asked they be declared ineligible and
that the Boston Washington game
be replayed. Walter Brown, pres
ident of the Boston outfit, agreed
to drop those players, but the game
was not ordered replayed.
That decision leaves Boston in
first place in the playof series with
two wins, tie and defeat for a
total OF points. Washington and
Baltimore are tied for second, and

ing between Bruce Woodcock, the
British Empire champion, and Joe
Baksi, the Kulpmont CPaD coal
miner, now scheduled for April IS.
Miles wrote of Jersey Joe Wal

zard Charles, the Cincinnati light
heavyweight who recently fiattened
Jimmie Bivins, as being too light
"he weighed only ITO for Bivins."
