Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' > LOCAL CURLING enthusiasts watched with interest yes- terday as both clubs were privileged to hold "provincial championship" playoffs, in the big annual double-rink com- petitions, Ontario Silver Tankard and Governor-General's Oup, with their respective "'consolation events" -- The Burden 'Trophy and The Globe and Mail Trophy. This was the On- tgrio Curling Association's divisional playoffs, embracing the various district winners, for the area extending from Unionville, east to the Quebec border. The various district winners represented such clubs as Camp Petawawa, Carleton Place, Kingston, Peterborough, Bancroft, Unionville and Osh- awa Golf Club, Winners in the four events moved into the semi-final round this morning, with the trophy finals carded fer this afternoon, Murray Roberts and Bob Lawrie put Unionville in the Silver Tankard heat, coming from behind With a brilliant finish to beat out a pair of determined Kings- ten rinks, skipped by Jake Edwards and Al Cromarty, It was a last-rock finish, to qualify Unionville representatives to defend the Tankard, which two other skips from that club won last year. They play at Burlington Golf and Country Club. The Burden Trophy play concludes at Burlington Curl- ing Club, with Peterborough rinks earning this chance, Camp Petawawa, in their first time out of their own territory, ipset the others in Governor-Geneal's Cup bid. They beat out Oshawa Golf Club in the morning and ousted Kingston's Gc entry in the final. Oshawa Golf Club curlers will be at Humber Highlands today, bidding for The Globe and Mail Trophy. All tied, on total score, with the rings completely empty, skip Bruce Bradley drew to a "'live stone' in the forner, and with this as his backing, stayed for the lone counter that put out the Bancroft curlers. x x x x = CHARLEY POWELL will have to believe it now! About a week ago, the talkative Cassius Clay predicted that he would put Powell away, via a K.O., no later than the fifth round. Powell pooh-poohed the prediction as just another statement so Cassius quickly answered with a new prediction, this one fh verse, in which he said he'd stop Powell in three rounds, just to make him believe. Last night in Pittsburgh, that's exactly what the brash young heavyweight did do. He got to Powell with a good one and then put him away a few seconds later. Now Clay wants to meet Sonny Liston for the title -- which he has said he'll own by November. The way Cassius is Going, he's apt to find his bid frustrated, without a chance, Liston and Floyd Patterson are booked for a re-match and it's likely that no matter who wins, he'll insist either that November is too soon for another title-match or that Clay must fight the loser and win, before being considered for a chance at the crown, : x x x x * BRIGHT BITS: -- Toronto Leafs moved up into a tie for second place, with Montreal Canadiens, when they won their fecond game in as many nights, a 6-3 triumph over the Bruins in Boston, The Habs protected their slim margin of "a-game-in-hand by claiming one point, on a 1-1 tie in De- froit. . . .

It's to be hoped a large crowd of parenis and minor hockey fans take in. the show. As a result of Thursday's games, Leafs and Canadiens are tied for second place, two points behind Chicago Black Hawks, But Canadiens have played one game fewer than Chicago and Toronto. Detroit follows five points be- hind in fourth place. Rangers are 14 points behind the Wings in fifth and the Bruins are floundering seven points farther back in the cellar. Mahovlich moved back into the league lead in the points race with his output, a position he hasn't occupied alone since late December.

Clay, 21, the sport's prognos- ticating poet, referred to his next heavyweight fight with Doug Jones and a possible re- match after that with Billy Daniels. He had just finished playing punching bag with Powell's head by knocking him out at two minutes, four seconds of the third round. The victory was his 17th straight without a loss and his 14th by knockout. Clay weighted 205, Powell 214. "Jones must fall in six," Cas- sius predicted about his March 13 fight in New York. 'Daniels must fall in two. I'd like to fight Daniels and Jones in one night and get it over with." Clay's ambition is to become {thee youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history by beating Sonny Liston by next November. READY FOR SONNY ? "I'm ready for Liston tomor- row," he said My managers and Liston are the only things keeping me from him." One member of Clay's board of directors, William Cutchins, said Clay is "a year or so" away from a title fight. The Louisville Lip, his own label, unabashedly discussed the victory. "I'm making history calling all those rounds," he boasted, "No other fighter does that. I'm the prophet of the fight game." He told of the circumstances that led to his 13th correct pre- diction witnessed by 11,238 who paid $55,782. SAYS POWELL ROUGH "That big monkey was rough," he said of Powell, 28, a former pro football player from Los Angeles. "They couldn't call him a pushover. He was hitting and moving fast. He was hoping he'd RED KELLY in goals by Kelly and Nevin and breakaway score by Keon within 144 minutes to lead 3-1 at the end of the first period. Oliver and Mahovlich traded goals early in the third period to make it 4-2, and after West- fall had scored his first goal of the season early in the third eriod, Keon and Mahovlich drilled home their second goals of the might to make it 6-3. Rookie goalie Ed Johnston of Bruins made 34 saves, com- pared with 27 on Toronto goalie Don Simmons.

After a scoreless second pe- riod, Moore took a pass at the Detroit blue line from Richard, who had just deked two Red Wings, and came in along on left wing. He beat Detroit goalie Hank Bassen with a low 15- footer.for his 12th goal of the season and his fourth in the last five games.

Moore CHISOX SIGN THREE CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago White Sox have signed three more players for 1963, including third baseman Pete Ward, a key man 'n the recent big White Sox-Baltimore Orioles swap. Wednesday's other two new signees, also infielders, were shortstop Al Weis, 22, a .293 hit- ter at Indianapolis last season, and Sammy Esposito, 31, start- ing his eighth season as a utility man. Ward, 23, was one of four Or- ioles who came to the Sox Jan. 14 in exchange for the veteran Chicago pair of shortstop Luis Aparicio and third baseman. outfielder Al Smith, Smith's third-base job is Ward's for the taking and the same applies to Weis in filling Aparicio's fleet shoes at shortstop.

C'mon, big mouth, you've been talking. Now let's do it. This is the third, "I didn't pay any attention. I said, 'Just be cool It's com- ing.' "You see how when the third round came, he got in that cor- mer. He looked wary. He was cautious, I shook him with a jab and three left hooks. I was working on seven, but he didn't stand up long enough." In contrast to Powell, who suffered a deep gash above his left eye, Clay was unmarked and free of sweat. "I'm so pretty," Clay con- cluded. "Let me get dressed. I have some pretty girls waiting for me outside." , FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pittsburgh--Cassius Clay of Louisville, 205, knocked out Charley Powell, San _ Diego, Calif., 214, in 2 minutes, 4 sec- ends of third round of sched- uled 10-rounder.
