parts of the Province had attended here in June, 1938, the Liberal Party Convention at which woman suffrage had been adopted as a party aim.Allowing women to vote, thought Sir Thomas, would be tantamount to opening \u201cthe door to marital and family misunderstanding and discord.\u201d Granting of woman suffrage in the Dominion field in 1917 had been \u201cone of the many mistakes made at that, time,\u201d he said.Hon.Jacob Nicol said he favored the bill because \u201cWe have today come to the end of an era in history in Quebec as elsewhere.The very great majority of the women of Quebec Province want the right of vote.\u201d Hon.Frank Carrel urged support of the measure.\u201cWe are proud of ¦our women and the place they hold in our society as a steadying balance and influence for g'ood not only in our homes but in the public life of our state,\u201d he said.Extension of the suffrage was contrary to \u201ccommon sense,\u201d said Mr.Baribeau.Numerous organizations opposed the bill and it had been criticized in the Catholic press.Voting with the Government side was Hon.Martin B.Fisher, Provincial Treasurer in the former Union Nationale Government, who was named along with Hon.Pierre Bertrand to the Upper House just before last fall's general election in which their party was defeated by the Liberals.Mr.Bertrand tried on a technicality to block third reading but he was not successful, The vote was taken despite his protest that the six p.m.adjournment hour had been reached.On move than a dozen previous occasions, the Quebec Legislature has rejected private bills for woman suffrage.Continued from page 1.After announcing Mr.Blackmore would continue as leader of the group, the official spokesman for the caucus quelled rumors that the alliance between Social

to be known as New Democracy and all adhere to Social Credit philosophies he said.\u201cWe are all Social Credit-minded as we were before.\u201d The spokesman said Hon.W.D.Herridge, founder of the New Democracy Movement, is \u201cjust an interested party.\u201d Since Mr.Herridge had been defeated in Kindersley constituency he could not be considered the New Democracy party leader.There had never

3-1 Favorite to Wind Up Boston Bout with Early Knockout \u2014Record Crowd Anticipated.Boston, April 26.\u2014(A>)\u2014According to those who back their fistic opinions with hard cash, the National Boxing Association was guilty of over-emphasis when it broadcast its decision that it would not recognize tonight\u2019s Henry Armstrong - Paul Junior bout as a welterweight championship affair if the latter won.Pew of those who wager on such events concede Junior, a 30-ycar-old veteran of 300 battles, the slightest chance to strip Armstrong of the last of the three world titles he has won during his sensational cartel within the ropes.Although Ann-strong is expected to weigh m around 141, only two pounds heavier than his Lewiston, Me., rival, trie negro champion is a 3-1 shot to wind up their scheduled 15-round engagement with an early knockout.Regardless of how one-sided the battle shapes up before hand, it probably will draw the largest boxing crowd that has been assembled 1 fl New England since Boston\u2019s Jimmy Maloney topped Primo Camera in most surprising fashion back in 1930.Promoter Rip Valenti reported his advance sale indicated that most of the Boston Garden\u2019s 18,000-odd seats would be occupied by 'ash customers.Valenti has guaranteed Armistrong $15,000 and promised Junior, who seldom has received more than $1>-000 at a time for his fistic efforts, 15 per cent of the gate receipts.Although Valenti has retained his usual $1.10-$3.30 price scale for this championship event, he expects to realize a gross of more than $50,000.The Junior supporters, most of whom hail from his native state nd many of whom plan to follow him to Boston to view the outstanding episode in his long career, base their hopes on the fact that their aged idol has lost but ten of his 300 battles.His last two setbacks were administered by Lou Ambers, who stripped Armstrong of his vorld lightweight honors last summer.IN Dizzy Dean always was and a nervy bounder.That wasn\u2019t praise the way people said it five years ago when Jay Hanna (or is it Jerome Herman) was in his incomparable prime with St.Louis Cardinals.But it is now.Pitching on his nerve he still is one of the game\u2019s impressive figures.That great right arm of his has lost its whip but hi.s heart has never faltered.So yesterday \u201cOle Diz\u201d toed the rubber again out in Chicago\u2019s Wrig-jley Field and clamped down on Cin-icinnati\u2019s National League champions jwith a five-hit pitching performance I that won for the Cubs 4-2.ft didn\u2019t resemble even faintly those stirring Dean Dramas of another era, but it was just as effective in the won and lost column.Diz got a bad start.He walked the first two batters he faced and made an error on the third to let in a run.Then he intentionally passed a third and another run scored on a fly.Manager Gabby Hartnett no doubt was disturbed and the fans too.But if Dean ever quavered no one knew it.He came back to pitch shutout ball for the next eight frames, striking out only one batter but also allowing only one walk.He kept sailing that \u201cnothing ball\u201d of his back and forth across the corners of the plate, curving it in and out and once in a while sandwiching in a straight high one that would have been blindingly fast in that other day.It worked, anyway, and in the meantime the Cubs crowded big Paul Derringer, ace of the Reds, for 11 hits.Coupled with three errors these were good for four runs and tho ball game, dropping, Cincinnati out of a tie for first place in the National League.Brooklyn Dodgers took over sole possession of the lead by beating the Phillies 3-1 for their fifth consecutive victory.Hugh Casey parcelled out five hits and his mates provided some worthwhile bingles including a homer by Dolph Camilli.New York Giants continued their winning streak by battering Boston Bees 9-1.Bill Lohrman was at the top of his form in scattering .six hits and striking out nine.St.Louis\u2019 slugging Cardinals rolled up 22 hits against Pittsburgh but barely edged out the Pirates 10-9.Seven pitchers saw service in the melee, which was kept close because the Pirates timed their 12 safeties .at the best spots.Cleveland Indians continued to set the pace for the American League with Bob Feller getting credit for hi.s second triumph as the Tribe top-jped Chicago White Sox 3-1.Feller gave eight hits and struck out eight, I but Ed Smith and Clint Brown retaliated with a seven-hit effort that Orioles Nose Out Royals 11 to 10 in Slugfest \u2014 Syracuse in 2-1 Decision Over Toronto \u2014\u2022 Newark Uncovers Hitting Pitcher.If there\u2019s anything a manager likes to find on his ball club besides a good pitcher, it\u2019s a good pitcher who can hit.Johnny Neun, pilot of the Newark Bears, seems to have a hurler with both those qualities in Joe Vance.Vance, a big right-hander, was obtained recently from Kansas City of the American Association where he won 10 and lost four and hit .328 last .season.Although 32 years old, Joe gives promise of having a big season in both departments with the Bears this year.In his first appearance for Newark yesterday, Vance went the route against Buffalo and allowed only six hits for an 8-4 victory.He helped along his own cause by slamming out two singles, stealing a base, and handling half-a-dazcn fielding chances without error.Rochester\u2019s Red Wings handed Jersey City its first defeat of the season, collecting 15 hits off a trio of Little Giant pitchers for an 8-5 victory.Mike Ryba, making his first start of the season for the Wings, was nicked for nine safe blows but kept them well scattered.Baltimore Orioles ran their undefeated string to four straight, nosing out Montreal 11-10 after two hours and 50 minutes of play.The Royals pushed across four runs in their half of the ninth to tie the count but the Birds came back to win on two hits ami an error by Ira Hutchinson, fifth Montreal hurler.Elmer (Pep) Rambert, Syracuse rookie, bested Toronto\u2019s Phil March-iklom to give the Chiefs a 2-1 decision over the Leafs in the opener of a two-game series.Each allowed only six hits.Z5-VEAZ-OLO Fa

26.\u2014(©\u2014Hockey\u2019s man of the year\u2014Lexus Harry Cook \u2014has played his last game.Just before Kirkland Lake Blue Devils departed for home, the big playing coach of the new Dominion senior champions, announced his retirement.Lex who led the northern Ontario Miners to the Allan Cup in his first coaching effort, has decided 21 years of campaigning is enough.But he won\u2019t be lost to hockey\u2014the veteran defenceman will coach Blue Devils again next winter as they seek to ! defend their laurels.\u201cIt\u2019s pretty difficult playing and coaching at my age,\u201d said Cook, who although only 30, has been slowed down in recent years due to injuries.I make mistakes out there and then have to tell my boys to do the same thing correctly.\u201d A native ot Trenton, Ont., Cook said he liked coaching \u201cbetter than playing\u2014especially now Father Time is catching up to me.\u201d He hopes to coach for many years to come and has no immediate plans to leava Kirkland Lake where he is employed in the office of Lakeshore Mines.Cook\u2019s retirement brings to a close a colorful hockey career that saw him star in western and eastern Canada.He played his first senior hockey with Lacambe, Alta., when only 17 and was with the Saskatchewan champion Weyburn Beavers in 1932 when they were eliminated in the Allan Cup playdowns by Calgary Bronks.\u201cBeating the Calgary Stampeders to win the Cup this year was real revenge,\u201d said good-natured Lex.\u201cWc had a good club in Weyburn that year but the Bronks came along led by Sweeney Sohriner (now with Toronto Maple Leafs) and knocked us off.I had just about given up hope at getting even when the Stam-peders came out of the west.\u201d Six feet, two inches In height and less than 190 pounds in top condition, Cook has been on championship clubs in various classes since he was 11.He moved to the Ontario nickel belt and played with Sudbury teams before moving to Kirkland Lake.He was on the sidelines with the Blue Devils most of last season, breaking his leg twice.\u201cThere was great harmony in our club this year and keeping harmony and fighting spirit alive seems to be the main thing in producing winners,\u201d Frankie Frisch is using blackboard drills to stimulate the Pirates.Chalked on the big board in the Buc dressing room are such war talks as \u201cfirst to third on base hits\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t leave the clubhouse until you know your signs.\u201d COWANSVILLE GOLF CLUB HEADS NAMED Cowansville, April 26.\u2014 At the annual meeting
