It must be that different, more delicious flavour that thrills your palate while you drink, and lingers pleasantly on after the ale's all gone. It's a flavour that comes, experts say, from the exclusive old English recipe from London deep-well water, and from the scrupulous care with which they brew Labatt's.

Next time insist on Labatt's India Pale Ale, XXX Stout, or Crvstal Lager. PHONE FOR LABATT'S IT COSTS NO MORE RUNNER-UP HONORS Red Birds, Penguins 2nd in Mt. Mansfield Team Events Pangman Scores Win Burlington. April 28. 7P) Robert Meervy.

HA. quintet led all the way in turning back the Rotary Club five of Alexandra Bay. N.Y., 31-25, Sat urday night in an International basketball game at the Sir Arthur Cur-rie Memorial gymnasium before 600 fans.

The eastern Canadian. champions looked impressive in the first of their tune-up battles for the Dominion series against the western titleholders here next week. That they are improving with each game in the past month Coach Moe Abramowitz's northenders clearly demonstrated. Meeting with suffer competition is putting them in top form for the titular playoffs as they prepare to bid for the first Dominion major hoop crown for Montreal. In beating Nationale over a month ago to capture the Quebec honors the men then scored four victories over Ottawa and Windsor outfits to gain the national final and in so doing actually "improved with age." The northern New York state outfit, coming here with a long win record, was never able, to top the locals in the score column.

Where Y.M.H.A. men lacked the height of the talented visitors they made up for this deficiency with speed and ballpassing while playing without their ace centre Bill Kossy. Coach Abramowitz used all of his substitutes liberally and every one played effectively alongside the regulars in the 40 minutes of smart basketball. Gaining an early lead in the first 10 minutes Y.M.H.A. slipped towards the closing stages of the first as the visitors rallied to get a thin one point, 18-15, the half-time mark.

In the closing half the homesters outscored the U.S. men 15-10. Joe Richman's nine points paced the winners while Joe Waxman and Bernie Ziff each contributed six points. Lewis Esles' seven points topped the visitors with Herb Mal-lette collecting six. It was another hard game by "Happy" Kasnoff which was a feature of the defence as it faced the high scoring Rotary forwards while Dudely Bloomfield and Jake Weshler turned in steady performances.

James Carney was a standout on the Alexandra Bay squad's defence. In the preliminary game Central scored three wins over Y.M.H.A. in an interesting scheduled fixture of the Quebec Volleyball League. The scores were 15-13, 15-11 and 15-5. Manager Fred Estes of the U.S.

squad said the squad was one of the best his men had ever met, wh.ch speaks highly for the home team Manager Estes four years ago had a team of Estes brothers nlaying in northern New York State competition.

This contest will be played between the first place team at the of the first half and players from the other seven clubs, Lightweights Find Sparring Partner Problem Acute Meet Tomorrow Night Toronto, April 28. if: Finding sparring partners seems to be the chief problem confronting Dave Castilloux and Billy Marquart as Canada's top flight lightweights prepare for the 10-round non-title bout that brings them together here Tuesday night.

Marquart gave Billy Godfried of Montreal and Jimmy Blackman of Toronto such a going over Friday that they didn't show up Saturday. The only boys Castilloux could entice into the ring were Joey Bag-nato, a Toronto lightweight with a broken hand, and Scotty Ramage, a Toronto featherweight. Ranked fifth among the world's lightweights by the National Boxing Association, two notches above Castilloux, Canadian titleholder, the Winnipeg scrapper had to work four rounds with Jimmy Webster, game South African featherweight. Though noticeably pulling his punches. Marquart uncorked a right cross in the fouith that spilled Webster and almost toppled him from the ring in the gymnasium.

The South Afr.can had a slightly cut up to show for his experience. Strictly a right-handed puncher when he represented Canada in the 1936 Olympic Games, Marquart has been converted by his manager. Jack Hurley, into one of the most dangerous left-hook punchers in the lightweight division. Hurley plans to fly here from Chicago for the tight. Tommy McBeich.

trainer for Castilloux in his Toronto bouts, said the Montreal boy would do no more heavy work before the fight. "Dave is in top condition now and becoming a little light by taking it easy he'll add a couple of pounds before Tuesday night. Castilloux used Ramage as a means of improving his speed, footwork and timing. A shifty boxer, Ramage is difficult to hit, but Dave caught up to him with one stiff right that sent the Toronto feather half way across the ring, ending up on the ropes. Winding up his card.

Promoter Jack Allen has introduced both in ternational and Dominion intersec tional interest. One United States boxer is scheduled to appear and two westerners in addition to Mar quart will be in action. Frepchy Beaudin, of Vancouver, Western Canada welterweight champion, is scheduled to meet the rugged Mike Martyk. of St. Catharines, in an eight-round semifinal.

Beaudin's stablemate, Phil Palmer, of Vancouver, will face Joey Genovese, of Toronto, at .130 pounds. Norm Cardaro. Rochester welter weight, is the lone American boxer on the card. He will meet Max Scott, of Toronto. In another preliminary.

Webster and Ramage meet in a return bout. Ramage won by a knockout in the first round of their last bout here, marking the first K.O. on record against the veteran South African. POLICE TERMINATE BOWLING TOURNEY Toronto Sunday Laws Force Stop to Five-pin Event Titles Decided Toronto, April 28. Climaxing the 14th annual, five-pin tourna ment of the Canadian Bowling Association, winners of the men's four events were decided at the conclu sion of the eight-day bowling con gress in which more than 2.000 trundlers from various parts of the uomiruon participated.

Toronto Seven-Up. composed of T. Haddon, O. Lyons, D. Exley.

Reading and N. Brown, won the team title by rolling a record score of 3,964. a margin of 62 points over the second-place winner, Italian Mosaic and Marble of loronto. Manny Swartz. Oshawa barrister, took the singles crown with 898.

Vic McCabe and Carl Stokoe of Toronto the doubles with 1,663 and Ted Boynton of Toronto the aggregate with 2,549 for nine games. An unexpected development arose in the singles play when police halted approximately 100 games because of the city's by-law which does not allow bowling Sunday. Unforeseen delay had left the singles' play unfinished at midnight Saturday and after it continued for another hour police decided the bowling could not continue. A hastily-called executive meeting decided to refund the entry fee of the players whose games were unfinished with the option of finishing their matches Monday. Most of the players had little chance to end in a prize-money posh' on and officials said later only Gear Elford and Jimmy Morris of Hamilton had decided to come back Monday.

Elford has a possible chance to bowl a total of 875 for his three games which would give him fourth-place money. The best Morris can bowl is 800. The Ottawa doubles team of A. Haines and F. Hupp ended in fourth place with 1.632 and the North Bay twosome of C.

Meetic at its 22nd annual meet-ir-jr jn the Queen's Hotel. the QA.H A.

rejected a motion by Albert W. Reid, Sherbrooke vice-president, which might have had far-reaching effects if carried. Reid called on the meeting to express disapproval of -recent action of trie CA.H.A. in declaring that an amateur hockey player is one "who is not engaged or has not engaged professional hockey." After nsiderable debate from the floor, the motion was ruled out of order by the chair and the meeting upheld the ruling. Had the motion carried, it would probably have meant severance of relations between the CA.H.A.

and the QA.H.A.. with the Quebec body losing its right to challenge ioi "the Allan Cup and the Memorial Cup. premier "amateur" hockey trophies in the world. Norman Dawe. hard working vice-president of the organization, was elected president when Art Lapierre, who has held the post for the past two years, decided business would no longer enable him to continue-Other elections carried surprises.

Dr. A. W. Mitchell, past president the Sportsmen's Association of Montreal, was elected vice-president over P. C.

Kelly and two new men named to the executive in the persons rf Sarto Desnoyers and Norman McKay. Dcsnoyers is former operator of the amateur Cana-dsc-ns but has taken only a minor van hockey frr the past throe yars. McKay has been secretary of the mnor brackets, which have been in the charge of Normie Dawe. THERIEX RE-APPOINTED. Alphonse Thericn was re-appointed as secretary-treasurer-registrar by the president at an executive meeting following the elections.

Later the new president will also appoint two other executive members, and others to act on the board will be two delegates each from the Quebec Senior League and the Provincial Senior League. Albert Reid and Albert Racette were re-elected vice-presidents for Sherbrooke and Quebec respectively. Reid's motion to have the Q.A.H.A. reject the definition of an amateur provided the only excitement at one of the quietest meet.nga in some years. The Sherbrooke vice-president based his motion on the claim that the C.A.H.A.

has not established its competency to enforce its own peculiar definition of an amateur, w-hieh tends to destroy the ideals on which amateur hockey is based and threatens to disrupt hockey in the rural districts." He called on the Quebec branch to take the necessary steps to recognize the claims of those who favor remuneration of hockey players, and asked that a special division for these men be formed. After considerable argument, the chair ruled the motion out of order on constitutional grounds "and the meeting then proceeded to a quiet ending. Total regist-ation of 4.553 as compared to 4.733 last season was reported by the secretary in his annual report. An operating surplus of S2.843.S4 was reported, with re-ceiDts totalling $3.433 83 against disbursements of $3,633.99. The surplus brought the Association's cash balance to $6,430.58, in addition to $4,000 in bonds.

Among motions defeated was one from Quebec asking that a new district, to be known as the St Maurice District, be formed from teams around Three Rivers and Shawmigan Falls. These points now come under the Quebec District. The branch formed a new intermediate division, to be known as and composed of teams playing on playgrounds where no collections can be taken up. Champions of this section will not be allowed to compete in playoffs beyond their section. A move by Horace Boivin, Provincial League president, to have ffes reduced from 5 per cent, to three per cent, also was killed.

(Pi-Funeral services for Joe Jacobs, the fight manager whose big cigar, quick wit and flashy dress made him one of New York's legendary figures, were held today in a mid-town memorial chapel packed to overflowing by "the Broadway mob." Fight managers, sports writers, city and state political figures, fighters, actors and gamblers paid what Rabbi Leo Ginsburg said was a more eloquent tribute to the little man than he could pay in words. Numbered among the honorary pallbearers were Tony Galento, whom Jacobs guided from the fistic scrap heap to the position of challenger for the heavyweight title; Harry Mendel, six day bike race impresario; Max Baer. onetime heavyweight champion; Jimmy Braddock. another former titleholder: General John J.

Phelan, chairman of the New York State Boxing Cor. mission and Jimmy Johnston, voluble fight promoter. Burial was in the family plot in a Long Island cemetery.

JCP Vancouver Maple Leafs displayed some high class team work and accurate shooting in the last 10 minutes to come from behind and defeat Winnipeg St. Andrews's 37-30 here Saturday in the first game of a best-of-five series for the western Canada senior men's basketball title. Leafs used only six men in the contest but it is expected that they will have nine available for the second game tomorrow. The third game will be played Tuesday and the fourth and fifth, if necessary, on Friday and Saturday. The winners will go east to meet Montreal Y.M.H.A.

in the Dominion final series starting May 8. The four-time Manitoba champions started sensationally and in the first few minutes built up an 8-1 lead.

The lead switched three times before Vancouver finally went ahead to stay at 29-28. They quickly built up a working margin and in the last few minutes they seldom let the Manitobans get hold of the ball.

Jack Tomes and Jack Carmichael tied for the Winnipeg shooting honors with eight points each. Although 20 fouls were called 10 against each team neither side lost a player through personal fouls.
