Anrxhcr roundup of Canadian athletic achiemenu by Canada Press staff writer Jack Sullivan; M'RK'E RICHARD, who defied the march of tlmt Yvon Hurdle, a flustered fighting fisherman Matt Baldwin, a perfectionist with a curling atone Jimmy Van Pelt, a rookie professional football player who refused tx panic.

These were ome of the personalities who took over centre stage In Canada's 19-8 year of sport at home. On the international icale, athletes of almost eery description roamed to far-of places, some returning with world honors and othert with noihing to show execept hard-earned experience against the world's best. The show at home wa much better in many tasei than those put on by the touring athletes. RICHARD, 37-year-old veteran of professional hockey, returned from a serious injury to lead Montreal Canadiens lo their, 10th Stanley Cup title in the spring, and last month scored his 600th goal in league and cup play over a career stretching into its 17th season. Pell, 23-year-old quarterback with Winnipeg Blue Bombers, staged almost a one-man show as the Bombers turned on the highly-favored Hamilton Tiger-cats to win a 35-28 Grey Cup triumph at Vancouver.

The University of Michigan import, playing in his first pro season, did everything but lead the band in the half-time show. He scored two touchdowns, kicked two field goals and four converts for a 22 point afternoon, and the greatest scoring spree in the 4-year history of the cup. BALDWIN, 31-year-old petroleum engineer from Edmonton, skipped his Alberta rink to the 1958 Canadian title. It was his third championship in this world series of curling, tying the record set by Ken Watson of Winnipeg. Baldwin skipped title winning rinks in 1954 and 1957.

Duielle, from Baie Ste. Anne, N.B., made an Incredible bid to lift the world light-heavyweight boxing crown from Archie Moore at Montreal earlier this month. After it was over he confessed "the fight was too big for me." He knocked the titleholder down twice in the first round for eight-counts, dumped him again for a six count in the fifth. But he suffered an inferiority complex in the fight that ended in the 11th round with Durelle on the canvas. Skimming the records recalls these other achievements: hockey Belleville won the Allan Cup and Ottawa-Hull Canadians the Memorial Cup.

Shawnigan Falls Cataracts won the Quebec League championship and the Vancouver Canucks the West League title. FOOTBALL The west made a clean sweep with championships In the Grey Cup by Winnipeg; Intermediate by Fort William Redskins; Junior bySaskatoon Hilltops; and a 9-3 decision over the east in the alfstar Shrine game. Lacrosse New "Westminster Salmonbellies won the senior title and Brampton Excelsiors the junior. Basketball Vancouver Eilers won both the men's and women's senior titles, and Victoria Vikings the junior. Figure skating Charles Snelling, Toronto, won the Canadian Men's senior title, and Margaret Crossland the women's Barbara Wagner and Bob Paul captured the pairs title.

Boxing George Chuvalo won the vacant Canadian heavyweight title by knocking out James J. Parker, Barrie, Ont. GOLF Henry Marten, Edmonton, won the professional Golfers' Association title. Bruce Castator, Toronto, took the Canadian Amateur, and Mrs. Marlene Streit, the Canadian Women's open and close.

Ontario won the Willingdon Cup inter-provincial team matches. Wes Ellis Jr. won the Canadian Open and another American, Jim Ferree, the $42,000 B.C. Centennial Open. Soccer New Westminster Royals won their seventh Canadian title.
