THE PEOPLES

ADVOCATE

December 23, 19/4

By ART SCHWARTZ
HAVE definite information from a most unimpeachable
source that Sid Beech, popular loca] sportsman, has abso-
lutely no connection with Nate Druxman, Seattle fight pro-
moter, as stated by one of our evening papers some few days
ago. If Sid Beech decided to start running fights here, Van-
couver may rest well assured that he has both the bank roll
and the intelligence to do so without having to “front” for

Plan Ambers

But maybe, in light of the bad
smell that ome associates with pro
boxing in Vancouver, it would be a
good thing if he did front for Drux-
man, at least it would be a heaven-

sent change to the present set-up.

While the subject is still open I
in-
former who gave out the above
statement and what local sports

wonder who was behind the

elub is he fronting for?
s s s
Jimmy Chapman, popular local
featherweight, has left for Toronto
to butt his head up against the
Same stone wall that Gordie Wal-
Jace has been trying to break. It
seems that a western fighter must
stop just about a half degree short
of murder to take a decision in that
worthy city, and I think Jimmy
would have gone further in the
Worthwest had he stayed here.

Wext year’s tour of the tennis
pro’s should be one of the greatest
sporting treats of the century, as it
is almost defiintely established that
Don Budge will be joining Vines and
Perry, who, by the way, will show
here on January 20.

An orchid to Jack Cressy, WA
soccer coach, whose splendid work
with the youngsters indicates a pro-
found understanding of youth phsy-
chology. Since his taking over of
the mentorship, the kids have won
three out of four games, including
ihe thorough trouncing of the
jeague leaders last week.

Six cyclists have returned to Mos-
cow, USSR, completing a journey
that has taken them over 4000 miles
on their amphibian bikes, 650 miles
by water, using the attachable rub-
ber floats especially designed for
¢his purpose. Boy, ft can imagine a
fot of fun on English Bay when Ca-
nadian firms take a tumble and
manufacture them here.

T’ve been warned that our genial

Ross Fight

Meanwhile Barney
Takes Cruise

Barney Ross, great little guy and
welter champ, and the missus are
going on a Christmas cruise for a
honeymoon. Meanwhile plans are
being discussed for Barney’s meet-
ing with Lou Ambers for the welter-
weight championship early in the
year. Lou was Barneys greatest
contestant for the lightweight
crown which he finally won from
Tony Canzoneri in 1936.

In the opinion of Barney, the
fight, if held at all, should be held
in an Open air arena in mid-sum-
mer. The idea is that such an affair
would attract more customers. This
is important now that the heavy-
weight situation has built up to its
great popularity and constitutes a
real menace to future welter draw-
ing power.

WA Goes
Over Top

Trounces League
Leaders 3-1

The Collingwood Workers’ Alli-
ance team, continuing the winning
streak started three weeks ago,
trounced league leading Maccabees
3-j in a thrilling, hard-fought game
at Norquay Park last Saturday, with
the lighter team having the upper
hand throughout.

A hard drive from the toe of Bil-
lingham, snappy little imside left,
opened the scoring, to be followed
by two mice counters in the next
five minutes by Northard, hustling
WA centre forward.

Maccabees’ goal was scored just
before half-time during 2 serim-
mage in front of the WA goal.

MOOSE JAW.—The mighty Mil-
lers romped away with a tilt be-
tween themselves and the Regine
Vices on their home ice last week,
making it six in 2 row for the boys
from the “Friendly City.”

A refular donnybrook was halted
by the police in the third period.
Combatants included, not only the
players but a goodly number of
over-enthusiastic fans 45 well.
Twenty penalties marked this as the
wildest game of the season 1D the
frozen country where they take
their hockey neat. Final score was:
Moose Jaw Millers 9, Vics 0.

QUINCY, Mass.—Word of the death of Jake Kilrain, last of
the bare knuckle fighters, was received here Wednesday.
Jake was one of the outstanding figures in the history of
prizefighting, and will be better remembered for his par-
ticipation in the last bare knuckle fight with John L
Sullivan, a 75-round battle in 1889. :

VANCOUVER, BC.—Representatives of the Dominion left
Wednesday on the Aorangi Australia-bound for the Em-
pire Games to be held in Sydney in February.

TORONTO, Ont.—Frankie Genovese decisioned George Sal-
vyadore, Houston, Texas, in a 10-round fight here Tuesday

night. This gives the Italian two decisions over the Texas
fighter.

LANGLEY PRAIRIE, BC.—Buddy Walsh was given an un-
popular decision over Glenn Powell, Langley fighter, in
the best match of the Elks boxing card Tuesday night.
Rey Burnell defeated Arch Stewart on the same card. Wild
Cat Woods, who lives up to his moniker, put on a dandy
act to take Sid Walters. es

Schmeling
Boycotted

Promoter Jacobs
Gets Worried

Mike Jacobs is worried over the
high feeling against anything that
smacks of Nazi-ism in New York
and may move his pet, the Louis-
Schmeling fight, to Chicago or De
troit next June.

it seems that Jacobs wasn’t at all
satisfied with the turmout at the
Schmeling-Thomas fight last week
despite the near-capacity audience.

What Jacobs noted was the ab-
sence of Jewish fans — the race
which not only produces more than
its quota of first class fighters but
invariably buys the ringside seats.
Despite the fact that all of New
York’s German-town was there in
full force to fill the place and com-
bat the action of the anti-Nazi
pickets, Mike was not fooled. He
Knows that he can’t get along with-
out the boys who pay real dough
for their seats, and there are plenty.
in New York, so it’s obvious that
he’s too smart to try it.

It appears that Jacobs has been !
negotiating with his associates in |

the Windy City regarding holding
of a test fight there in February
with Schmeling as the guinea pig.
In view of the tremendous German
population within easy striking dis-
tanee of Ghicago’s loop, this would
be a natural,

Indications of New York’s anti-
Wazi feeling is best shown by the
actions of the Jewish clothing firms
who intimated to everyone con-
cerned in the trade what a heel that
Buy would be who paid a dime to
see Nazi-Maxie do his stuff.

AC Moves

Arnold Bertram
Goes To WSC

Arnold Bertram’s entire stable
and Arnold himself are going to
move over to the Western Sports
Gentre where they will in future do
their stuff under the WSC banner.

Arnold’s boys are already famous
in the Northwest fistic world, hav-
ing such stellar boys as Gord Wood-
house, Ken Lindsay and Jimmy
Jamieson. Ken Lindsay is the little
fellow who did so well in the Golden
Glove trials held pecently in Se-
attle.

Bertram himself will take over
the coaching duties at the club and
if past performance is any criterion
we look forward to seeing some real
good scrappers turned out.

With this move, it is understood,
the Grandview AC will close its
doors and pass peacefully out of ex-
istence, having done a great share
toward making the amateurs as
good as they are.

Midget Pucksters

miniature. The teams will take the
ice shortly after 3 p.m. and put on
a show for the cash customers until
the adult teams do their stuff at

Sunday was submitted by the Canadian Legion branch to th |
initiative conference attended by representatives from 27 or

The Canadian Legion resolution,
which appealed directly to those
delegates at the conference with a
listening brief only, will be submit-
ted to all local organizations at a
meeting called for January 12.

An executive committee pro-tem

was elected, members being: Rev.
H. T. Allan; Mr. Lane, IOOF; S.

Duplessis

Chambers Says Quebec
Premier Failed To Aid
Youth When Opportun-
ity Offered

VICTORIA, BE, Dec. 22— Charges
that Premier Duplessis of Quebec
had ignored federal aid for unem-
ployed youth in his province for
three months after assistance was
available were made by Alan Cham-
bers of this city, chairman of the
Youth Employment committee of
the National Employment Commis-
sion, this week.

Chambers’ statement arose from
the report of Duplessis’ speech re-
cently which complained that plans
for unemployed youth were insuf-
ficient. “It may be true,” said Cham-
bers, “but considering that urban
relief figures show that approxi-
mately half of all unemployed young
people between 16 and 25 are reg-
istered in Quebec province, the Que-
bec provincial government was one
of the last to avail itself of the as-
sistance afforded by the Dominion
under the Youth Employment and
Training vote.”

Chambers was recently in Van-
couver to superintend the issue of
$32,000 allocated to Greater Van-
couver for winter training plans,
open to all unemployed youth.

School Board, is administering the
centres.
