aye Ma Page Six THE PECGPLE'S ABYOGATE February 11, By REDFIELD By Art Schwartz Bes HARRIS and Joe Cronin have climbed out on the old limb this early in the season by throwing out the sug- gestion that the Yanks will not win the pennant for the third consecutive season. Thus the gauntlet has been thrown into the teeth of the nation’s best sportswriters, although this doesn’t mean anything, anyway, same writers having been known to Wake the odd error now and then.¢ On the other hand, Joe McCarthy _comes out flatfooted with a very pronounced “But definitely, yes.” Whatever the answer, the fact remains that the Yankee power- house, Gehrig, Di Maggio, Selkirk and Dickey cannot be depended on to win the bit of fluff through their hitting powers alone. Rather, the situation depends upon the ability or otherwise of the Champ’s hurling brigade which, despite my prediction of a Yankee year in ’38, eauses a slight furrow of apprehen- Sion between these noble brows. The Yanks have, of course, Gomez and Ruffing, both twenty- game winners last year, and two stalwarts in Andrews and Hadley, although neither can be classed a big winner even at his best. Pear- son cracked up toward the end of the season after a brilliant start | and it remains to be seen just what @ winter’s rest has done for his balky flipper. Last of the regulars is Johnny Murphy, claimed to he the best relief pitcher in any league. By reason of the above, there- fore, the original forcast stands, albeit with fingers crossed. I realize that hitting talent is not near as important to a winning team as pitching talent. However, with a near great chucking squad and a super-great assault squad the Yanks should come through on top. = = * + Wild Bill Boyd, Nate DPruxman’s Jatest meal ticket, is one of the few heavyweights who can and will take a sock on the chin—90 per cent of ’em can’t.

Point Puts On Concert Large Audience Sees RPWU Show OTTER POINT. — A capacity crowd, composed of Victoria visit- ors, local residents and boys from Milligan’s camp, heartily enjoyed a minstrel show and concert spon- sored by the social committee of the Relief Project Workers’ Union in this camp last HBriday-. Spontaneous applause which greeted the performance fully jus- tified the efforts of Jack Trace, whose supervision and direction was responsible for the excellent show. Fintertainers, all taken from the ranks of the camp workers, in- cluded Sue Wasan, Fred Williams, Hector Lasko, ‘“Soapy”’ Joe Hodg- son, G O’Brien, FE: (King) Cole; Harry Bill, Roy Small, IN.

A collection of $18 was taken to defray expenses and to assist in production of future socials. The second half of the show in- eluded a comedy skit by Jack Can- uck, musical pugilist, and Blackie Baker, followed by recitations from J. Maloney and L. R. Peters. Clint Johnson, Archie Smith and Gurly Butler each took a crack at Bing Crosby’s business and ren- dered vocal selections of no mean calibre.

Fite-fans must realize by now that something must be done to or for the prize-fighting game (I almost called it “racket”’) here, or let it forever rest in peace. This is the second of the more phonier affairs and another one will just about KO the works. Buxton hit the canvas with his knee so often that if he hasn’t got “housemaid’s knee I miss my guess.” It certainly was not the same Sonny Buxton that fought | here a couple of years back, and if that is a sample of his best he should stick to stevedoring and let brother Billy carry the family fight. Gus West, manager of Ray Price, who was to show against Swartz in a six round go, gives out that Ray was having no part of the blonde destroyer and dogged the trip at the last minute. West had to bring Kid Lee to sub. Lee hit the dust after a minute and a half of the first round. Billie Giles, the colored boy, took a funny-looking count in the first round of the curtain raiser, ob- viously well pleased with himself at earning the stipend without raising a hand. Charlie Williams of Duncan did the damage. Julius Troll, 18-year-old light- weight, is being brought along far too fast. Troll was outweighed by Six pounds and put on a game show under terrific punishment which, he later admitted, was the worst he had ever received.

Sooke Camp Gives Show Victoria, Camp Boys Mix SOOKE:—Bill (Tiny) Metcalfe, i172 1bs., from Project Camp 104, drew with Jackie Patterson (170), amateur ex-welterweight champion of BG, in four rounds of fast action, during which time both boys threw caution to the winds and laced each other with everything in the bag. Metcalfe, a member of the RPWU, showed surprisingly well against the more experienced Pat- terson and figures to take the Vic- toria bay next time out. He uses the same bobbing, weaving style used so successfully by Jack Demp- sey and can take a sock on the chin with the best of ’em, as well as hand them out. The semi-final between Harry (Kid) Haywood, RPWU sports committee convenor, Iost a close decision to Billy Knowles, Victoria, ex-featherweight champ of BC, in a hair-raiser scheduled for. three rounds. Stan James brought his boys from Victoria for these fights here on January 28 and will, we under- stand, be bringing another contin- gent soon. James refereed the matches and had his hands full. Prelims Good. The prelims were of the best slug variety, with Frankie Plight (129) catching too many on the whiskers from George Bishop to lose by a technical KO in the sec- ond canto of a scheduled three- round go. Wal Christianson won over Mickey McGuire by reason of a damaged ankle which forced the ever-ready McGuire to call a halt. Bill Bodaly and Jack Stake, Vic- toria welter, boxed three exhibition rounds, no decision, as did Killer Sherlock G36) and Jack Canuck, and Buck Buchanan (130) and Art Tyons (152). This last was a honey, with Art’s weight counting in the final round. No decisions were given, however, in the exhibition bouts in which all fighters were boys from the camp. Highlighting the program was the wrestling match between Ernie Riley (170); from the camp, and Taiffler (165), from Victoria. The boys grunted and groaned through three four-minute rounds with neither being good enough to floor the other. Frankie reffed the rassling and L. R. Peters, camp secretary, did the announcing.

Six-Man Football Will It Sweep Canada? When next fall rolls around, six-man football, the fastest grow- ing sport in America, may find a place on the Canadian gridirons. It has swept the United States northwest like a prairie fire, tak- ing all schools and colleges before it, and it is coming east to intrigue the boys who like fast, wide-open football which isn’t hampered by time out for injuries. Six-man football came into being as a result of the high cost of equipping 1i-men teams and was too tough on communities with little financial backing. Six-man football to these schools has been a life-saver. Based on 1i-man football, it’s much easier to play and coach. It’s cheaper to support and has been found to be much less injurious to players. Stephen Eppler invented the pastime in 1934 and in 1937 more than 600 teams were playing. Wearly all six-men teams were high school teams, mostly from the rural sections, furnishing the play- ers with a fine training in the rudiments of football for future use—when and if they were ever to get to college. The rule which requires the ball to be passed and not merely han- dled is the only major difference between the two varieties of the sport. The ball must actually pass through the air after leaving the passer’s hands and before entering the receiver’s hand. This does not apply to forward pass plays only, but to all others: To equip an i1i-man American team costs an average of $40. Com- pare that amount with the $13 average of a six-man team. Three-minute warm-up before each half, unlimited substitution, soft headgear, fewer number of men, and encouraging of place- ment and drop kicks are all safety measures. Six-man football is giv- ing thousands of American kids a chance to play the game that they might not otherwise have had. Hit Tokio Olympiad World Protest Against Japan PARIS. — An active campaign against holding the 1940 Olympic Games in Tokio is being conducted here. Feeling against Japan runs high, and it is being stressed that the preparations under way for the holding of such an important event as the Olympic Games in Tokio, while China is being ravaged by Japan in a mockery to all real sportsmen. Members of the Irish Olympic Games committee have backed the stand taken here and have declared that Japan must not organize the games while present situation ob- tains in China. Support for Norway’s claim to organize the winter games is grow- ing rapidly. It is mooted that the eity of Oslo, together with the Nor- wegian government, will supply the necessary finances. Charles Hoff, Norwegian ex-pole- vaulting cham- pion, has protested against Japan and has expressed a desire to see Great Britain organize the sum- mer games, In the Zurich paper, Sport, Jim Hoffen writes: “From all over the world a big democratic movement against Tokio is needed. This would be a grand gesture to peace- lovers. Gannot we force the Inter- national Olympiad Committee to take a stand conforming to sports- manship? We must act.” Favorite Dies After Steeplechase GATWICK, Eng.—Sir Lewllyn’s li-year-old Ego, one of the favor- ites for the Grand National classic at Aintree on March 25, collapsed and died recently after finishing fourth in the four-mile Steward’s handicap steeplechase. Ego was made a 20-1 shot for the Grand Na- tional this week when first accept- ances of the 57 entries were an- nounced. Another Grand National entry, Arthur Sainsbury's Blue Shirt, was the winner of the Steward’s handicap. Eigo’s death was attributed to an unsuspected heart ailment which, combined with his age and the arduous steeplechase run, combined to bring about the tragic end to his career. The CCF eleven defeated BC Box, runners up, 1-0 in a second divi- sion Vancouver and District Soccer League game Saturday. Briton.
