By REDFIELD (ZOE i aie WENSTOB, of Edmonton, won a ten-round decision from Fred Lenhart in St. Paul on August 6 in a well contested bout. This was Sweet revenge for Eddie, as Lenhart had taken a decision from him about & year ago in the same ring and had shown no great inclination to sive the Canadian a return match. . From Long Branch, NJ, heartening news comes to the Britishers, for, strange as it seems, an Englishman by the name of George Daly outpointed Mike Piskin, a home-brew in an eight-round affair. Daly. weighed in at 187 and Piskin at 138. Cristobal Jamarillo dropped a decision to Johnny Hutchinson at Awulantie City over the ten-round route. vt of of B* the time this appears in print Gordon Wallace will have either suc- cumbed to the ministrations of Tommy Bland or he will be in line to reverse that phoney decision he lost to Frankie Genovese. Two nights ago, on Tuesday, the bout was rained Out of the” Maple Leaf Baseball Stadium at Toronto, but the promoter arranged to rent the studium Wednesday and Thursday. ° Jimmy Braddock has been engaged to referee the Wallace-Bland fight and in conversation with newspapermen stated that Tommy Farr is not the pslooka that some of the New York scribes would have him appear in their screeds. Apparently the Welsh miner is no showman in his training ap- pearances, but it is hard to believe that Tommy Farr has served an apprenticeship in travelling boxing booths taking on all comers at catch weights without learnings something of the business. Maxie Baer looked Tommy over in the gymnasium and said to his manager, Ancil Hoffman, “It’s money for dirt,” and what a mug Farr made of the Livermore tripe dresser! Anyway, the Louis-Parr fight is going to be interesting enough for Max Schmelling to make the crossing to see it and then the Nazi Maxie intends to take a hunting trip in Ganada. “fh =f 7. ‘AT Nate Druxman’s show in Seattle Tuesday evening our own Chuck A Wickason knocked out Leonard Bostick in the third round of a scheduled-six-round bout after scoring a couple of knock-downs in the second. In the headliner of the same card youns Al Hostak disposed of Allen Mattews, St. Louis Negro, in the ninth, notwithstanding the fact that he damaged his right hand in the second stanza. Matthews was rated high in the middleweight division and Hostak’s win puts him @ notch nearer a crack at Freddie Steele’s crown. Matthews was on the canvas twice in the fifth and once in the eighth, but before he said goodnight he had almost closed both eyes for the Seattle Slav. in one of the preliminaries Jimmy Chapman of Vancouver, 122, won ever Hal Gonzales, of Billings; Mont., 125, in four rounds. of of of OW Til turn back the pages of fisticuffing history and tell you of N the strangest knock-out in the ring. When a fighter is gifted with a punch he doesn’t have to worry much about a points decision as he carries his Own referee into the ring. Remember Bob Fitzsimmons—a beaten man up to the fourteenth round, jabbed and punched to a pulp by the most scientific heavyweight of the day—then sidling in and starting a punch to the jaw with the right and shifting to a terrific blow that sank deep in Jim Corbett’s mid-section. Corbett sagged down, conscious but paralyzed in the lower limbs, and the championship tumbled into a puncher’s lap. The KO I want to tell you about concerns Sam Langford and John Hester Johnson when they fought in the old Atlantic Gardens. : John Lester had a wholesome respect for the Tar Baby’s swings and es s00n as the gong sounded, sprinted. Sam, through easy living and sketchy training, was in no condition for foot-racing and was soon #aspine trying to catch up. He realized that he would have to end the Session with speed, so when the second round started, the Tar Baby floundered after Massa Johnson with evil intent. The round was almost finished when Sam unleashed a terrific looping right as Johnson half turned to run and it landed smack where patches are usually put on pants. Down went J. Lester after describing an ungraceful parabola and the farthest he got up was on his elbows. ‘The fans yelled “Quitter!”’ but it was no “dive” for the blow. landed with such terrific force that it paralyzed his lower extremities and Johnson had no control of his legs for ten minutes. Technically the blow was low but Massa Johnson made no claim for a foul. He had had enough of Samuel Langford.

Under these headlines the Mayor and some of the aldermen, including Pettipiece, are reported as making disparaging remarks about the dis- tressed unemployed. i In the style of Gerry McGeer, Mayor Miller introduces the red bogey by stating that employers are afraid to hire “agitators” and for this reason prairie people are com: ing to town and taking their jobs. To prove his contention, Alderman Gennett cited a case of three sons of a farming couple who got jobs in three days after arriving from Saskatchewan.

Tt t cA ‘Beethoven Concerto’-—A Delightful Picture O-= of the most delightful pictures yet released from the Leningrad studios was given a private showing at a local theatre, Sunday. This picture is enititled “Beethoven Concerto.” From the title it would be suspected that it is something suitable only for musical high- brows, but it is decidedly not so. It is a stirring and appealing story of two talented youngsters who preferred playing games to practising music—just like any other normal children. It is in no sense a propaganda picture, but it does give a fine, in-- timate view of happy child-life in Russia today. The groups of children in the film are just ordinary children who act naturally, and it is this naturalness which makes the picture a great one. The music is splendidly performed, and so well is it presented by a great orchestra and a gifted young violinist, that even the tremendous “Beethoven Concerto,” which is played in its entirety, has an appeal for all classes of listeners. A journey in a train to the musical competitions, in which youngsters of all kinds ore playing instruments to the accompaniment of the cliclk of the wheels on the rails is one of the most ingenious and entertaining scenes ever accomplished. “Beethoven’s Concerto“ is expected to be shown in Vancouver within the next few weeks. It is in every sense a superior production. kL a ADVERTISING RATES Classified, 3 lines 25c. Display advertisements, 75c per colums inch. Monthly and contract ratee ou application.
