Column
One

E’RE becoming popular,

it seems, if not with the
intellizentsia, then with the
boys who pack an awful wal-
lop: When we arrived at the
office Monday mornings we
found a delegation of two
from the local pugilistry
awaiting our advent. For a
minute we were uneasy but it
was all right.

It turned out they merely want-
ed to congratulate us on the letter
we published in this column last
week from Hamanegger in which
formation of a  prize-fighters’
union, affiliated to the Trades and
Labor Gouncil, was suggested.
They thought it was a darn good
idea and wanted to know what
they could do to help it along.
They. also told us that, as a result
of the hint thrown out in this col-
umn, at least one local promoter
was loosening up the purse strings
with a view to heading off organ-
ization.

There’s no doubt our correspon-
dent hit on a sore spot, but we
hope the boys won't be fooled.
There’s only one way they can en-
sure a real improvement in condi-
tions in the fight game and thats
by organization along the lines
suggested.

@
HOSE of our readers who fol-
low the activities of the Van-
couver Sports Club will remember
the Dirty Duke who, outside of
sports circles is known as Levens,
HH. J. The Dirty Duke is now in
Spain with the Mackenzie-Papineau
Battalion and is dirtier than ever,

or so they tell us.

We had a letter from him this
week.

“Just a line to let you know I
am still alive and kicking,” he
writes. “I meant to write sooner,
but IT am very busy working in a
hospital.

“J had a wrestling match last
week with Blackie—you remember
him, Maurice Haldane, the tall full-
blooded Indian from Kamloops.

“The boys. at the front are sure
doing good work. Every day they
drive the Fascists back and every
day more and more of the Fascists
desert and come over to our side.

‘Please send us some copies of
The People’s Advocate, as we do
not get much news from the Coast,
and let us know how things are
going at the club.”

e

Li, over Hrance, according
the news, sports fans are de-
manding that the Olympic games
for 1940 in Tokyo shall be boy-
cotted. An announcement this week
stated that Olympic CGommittee
Chairman Armand Massad and
Sports Minister Leo La Grange will
shortly confer with the foreign
minister, who will decide whether
or not a French team will par- |

tO

ticipate.
Meanwhile, the Jugo-Slav Olym-
pic Committee has asked the

French body to join 2 movement
which would withdraw the games
from Japan and transfer them to
Finland, because “Japan's political

attitude does not conform to Olym-
pic ideals of fraternity among na-
tions.” oe

Will Play Gordons
On Saturday

Weelk-end Scores.
Worth Shore 3, Royals L
St. Saviours 4, Radials 3.

Wo one, except possibly Royals,
was surprised when North Shore
United fulfilled prophecy at Jones
Park last Saturday and turned in
a 3-1 victory over the Westmin-
ster team to ensconce themselves
comfortably in the leadership of
the Mainland League.

What was surprising, however,
was the hard fight put up by the
Royals, particularly during the first
half when they more than held
their own. At the interval they
were actually leading 1-0 from a
goal scored by Spike Murphy ten
minutes after the kickoff—and they
were short a man at the time.

In the second half the superior-
ity of the Reds over a rain-soaked
ground asserted itself. Larson
scored the equalizer from a clever
piece of play by Harrison and then
went on to take a second on a pass
from Spencer. Spencer himself
made it three for the North Shore
team when he headed the ball into
the net after Hewitt had taken a
foul.

Over at Queen’s Park it was a
pretty even game between St.
Saviours and Radials, with goals
coming freely. The Saints finally
succeeded in nosing out their oppo-
nents 4-3 after their lead of 3-0
at the turn-over had been evened
by an aggressive rally. Only in the
Jast minute of the game did Jack
Ross ensure the game for St. Sav-
ious by slipping one past Watters.

Horace Heath, with two, and
Murray West, who cinched a pen-
alty, were the other scorers for St.
Saviours, while Pallot (2) and Cow-
an took the honors for Royals.

Saturday’s Games

Westminster Royals v Radials,
Gon Jones Park; referee, Dick
Woodward.

St. Andrews v North Shore
United, Confederation Park; ref-
eree, Alex Murray.

Both games start at 2:45.

Trudeau,
Paul Draw

Vancouver Sports
Has Good Card

In the main squirm event at
Vancouver Sports Club last Satur-
day night Hee Trudeau and Mike
Paul wrestled to a draw.

Trudeau, who had the advantage
in the first and second despite
Paul’s dazzling variety of holds,

took a fall in the second after he
had succeeded in throwing Paul
with a series of deadlocks. Then
he proceeded to hang him on the
ropes a few times before finally
pinning his shoulders with a double
grape vine and body press.

Paul however, came back to
knock Trudeau all over the ring
with a number of elbow jabs, using
a body press to take a fall and
even the match.

The semi-final saw the Wild
Joker and Gil Singh wrestle 9 five-
minute rounds to a draw. Stan
Sowden won over Bill Smith in the
opener.

Boxing results:

Main event—Gordon Purser vs
Frank Politane (145 Ibs.). Purser
won.

Semi-windup — Jack Harris vs
Chuck Gaman (145 Ibs.). Harris
won.

Latest department of provincial
recreation centre to be opened in
the city is that a Hastings Com-
munity Hall for women. Classes
will be held every Tuesday at 7:30

In a Vancouver and District
League second division game last
Saturday at McBride Park the CCE
eleven registered their second win
when they blanked Varsity-

Only in the last ten minutes
of the game, however, did the CCE
team assert themselves after ham-
mering steadily away at Varsity
defences. Mike Mikolajou, an out-
side left, was the first to score
with a high, well-placed shot, and
the second goal was taken on a
penalty shot by De Silva.

Also in a second division game,
Hammonds proved a little too good
for Pro-Recs, maintaining their two
point lead over the league with a
2-0 victory -

First division games saw Pop
Stiles’ Services increase their lead
to three points when they handed
Frasers their first defeat of the
season.

Kerrisdale, Maccabees, West Van-
couver and Excelsior, bracketed for
third place, all moved up to second
while Frasers dropped to third.
