In Joint Card

Getting away to a flying start,

Honors of the evening went to

third and fourth rounds to get a
well earned draw with Russell

when Sammy landed a wicked over-

out one bout and called it no con-

Hiddie Troll, famed young Aries

fight with Guy Cantrell of the
WSC. This was a crowd-pleaser
with Cantrell throwing the most
punches to take a very close deci-
sion.

Felix De Palmo, Aries Club fly-
weight, pounded out a neat win
over young Freddie Steele.

Al Ford and Billy Bose acted as
judges and Tony Panassa refereed
the entire card, turning in a work-
manlike performance.

would stage another show in the

Dawson Feature
Of Scuth Van Show

South Vancouver Boxing Club,
under the leadership of Wm. Gar-
ner who founded the club three
years ago in the interests of un-
employed youth, will stage a mon-
ster boxing show at its 43rd and
Fraser headquarters in the Ritz
Hall, Friday night, April 8.
Garner has his top-notch boys,
Toby Crooks, Jack Whent, Harry
Cunningham and others all lined
up to take on the best of the North
Vancouver boys in 8 bouts that
promise to be a slug fest of extra-
ordinary interest.

This will be the first show to
be run off by this enterprising
club and the appearance of Newsy
McConachie, one of BC’s classiest
bantams, makes it doubly inter-
esting. As an added attraction,
Garner has promised to show

Great Display At
Hastings Park

Screen news and radio will com-
memorate a great gymnastic dis-
play of physical recreation ar-
ranged by the Provincial Recrea-
tion Centres for this Friday night
in Vancouver’s Exhibition Forum
at Hastings Park.

Some 2,000 participants from
various centres in British Colum-
bia, which now report a total mem-
bership of over 21,000 young men
and women, will show their ap-
preciation of the Dominion-Pro-
vincial Youth Training plan which
is making these gymnastic centres
possible, by staging over a dozen
spectacular mass numbers indica-
tive of the many fascinating
activities they have learned during
the past winter.

Hon. G. M. Weir, minister of
education, who inaugurated SBrit-
ish Columbia’s unique centre pro-
gram in the fall of 1934, will ad-
dress the huge gathering which is
expected to fill the Forum to literal
overflowing. Dr. Weir's message to
Canadian youth will be broadcast
over CJOR with Dick Diespecker
as commentator. The minister will

The display will be followed on
Saturday by the centres’ annual
gymnastic championships which
will see representative teams from
Okanagan, the Fraser Valley, Van-
couver Island, and even Prince
Rupert. Local centre members,
with headquarters in St. Andrew’s-
Wesley Church gym, Vancouver
Sports Club and Templeton Junior
High School gym, are also enter-
ing this unusual competition,
which comprises various forms of
gymnastics, tumbling apparatus
activities, and dancing.

Although the gymnastic competi-
tion will mark the end of the pres
ent centres’ season, Director Ian
Bisenhardt has made special ar-
rangements to keep the Normal
School gym (corner 12th and
Cambie) open every weekday night
but Saturdays. Anyone may attend
the informal workouts to be con-
ducted there on Mondays, Tues-
days, Thursdays, and Fridays for
men, and on Wednesday nights
for women.

At the same time, all women’s
remedial classes will be continued
in April under Mrs. Dorothy Bruin,
he said.

Miller Charges
Discrimination

“I wouldn’t make any state-
ment in regard to that,” was
Norman Porter’s reply to an
Advocate reporter when ques-
tioned about the refusal of the
British Columbia branch of
the Amateur Athletic Union
of Canada to issue a charter
to Vancouver Sports Club.

No explanation for the refusal of
the charter, applied for over three
weeks ago, was given by. AAU offi-
cials.

In an interview, Harry Miller,
VSC president, stated that he was
at a loss to understand why the
application had been turned down.
“We have one of the best equip-
ped clubs on the Pacifie Coast,” he
Said. “Furthermore, our member-
ship dues are so small as to enable
anyone to use our facilities. Our
membership is more than 200 and
it is quite natural that our boys
want to take part in open amateur
competition. Why there should be
this discrimination against the club
is beyond me.”

Other members of the executive
declared that the club would fight
for recognition. They claimed that
all the VSC dealings were open and
above board and the blunt refusal
contained in the AAU letter certain-
ly showed a definite lack of sym-
pathy with unemployed youth and
their progress.

“We will question the right of the
AAU to turn us down without a
good sounr reason,” stated Scotty
Jackson, executive member, and
physical trainer at the Community
Association Hall, Forty-third and
Victoria.

South Van
Boys Guests

Appear In VSC
Boxing Show

The Vancouver’s Sports Club's
“mass o’ mussell’” and local threat
to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ hero, one
Tarzan, grinned fatuously last Sat-
urday night at the club’s weekly
show as he picked enough Ukrain-
ian fur out of his teeth to stuff a
mattress, the fur coming from the
hide of George Bunka who was too,
too heavy in spots to stop the ape-
man.
In enterprising mood, the boys in-
dulged in some real squirming,
Bunka apparently having decided
he wanted to see his opponent's
scalp hung up in his kitchen over
the mantel-piece. He reckoned,
however, without the scalp’s owner,
who had other views on the matter.
An hour Jater it was hard to see
the grunt-groaners for pop bottles
and peanuts when the match was
called a no-fall draw. Bunka won’t
be able to fight this week on ac=
count of rib injuries.
In the preliminary, Johnny Lamb-
chuck smacked a straight left to
the youthful jaw of Eddie Bolton
who went to visit the birdies while
Johnny took the fall. Eddie got
the best hand of the evening on
making this appearance.
Bill Wills and Vic Butler put on
an amusing exhibition of tumbling
and wrestling combined. Both boys
appeared well smothered in ad-
hesive tape and mixed metaphors.
Vic took the lone fall in the third
to hand Billy his first licking in
many moons.
Wagner-Kid Exhibition.

The boxing half of the card
showed plenty of improvement,
some of the South Vancouver
fighters making a guest, appear
ance under guidance of Bill Garner
and the elder Symes, father of Tom-
Iny and Jimmy, dandy little scrap-
pers from that club.
The opener went to a fast draw
between Joe Gillis and Bryant
Whent. Both showed plenty of ring
Savvy.

Ted Cavanaugh had too good a
straight left, to cop the win over
Alan Cunningham. Loose canvas
bothered the boys, with awkward
footwork as a result.

Tommy Burt, 147, was lucky to
get a draw with his 152-lb. oppo-
nent whose first moniker is Fred.
The decision of draw was roundly
booed.

Frankie Wagner and the Cari-
boo Kid stepped out a pretty three-
round boxing exhibition as the spe-
eial event and showed plenty of
stuff. The Cariboo Kid had an edge
over this one, although no decision

Cod

“Sure these birds make the pub-
lic pay through the noce, but don’t
let aldermen or anyone else drag a
red herring across the trail leading
to those really responsible for high
retail prices of codfish, if you get
what I mean,’ Gavin smilingly
stated.

Japanese who actually fish for a
living are not displacing anyone,
Gavin maintained. He said fishing
for cod required experience, and
that it was a hard enough life.
Vancouver retail trade is supplied
with cod caught in the Gulf of
Georgia, mainly by members of the
Cod Fishermen’s Association in
small boats. The larger cod are
caught by seine fishermen in deep
sea, and are a cheaper grade.
ast year fish dealers paid 3.4
cents a pound for cod to members
of the association. This body while
not yet in the trade union move-
ment, is the bargaining agency.
Union fish handlers work on the
catches at Campbell avenue wharf.

Hungarians In US,
Canada Hold Meet

From Hungarian democrats in
Vancouver this week The Advocate
learned of the successful North
American Hungarian Congress for
Democratic Rights held recently at
Wiagara Falls, NY, with the main
objective of uniting nearly one mil-
lion Hungarians in Canada and the
United States in the struggle for
peace and democracy, both here
and in Hungary.

The congress demanded that
rights and liberties of national
minorities be observed by Rumania
and Yugoslavia and urged a pro-
gram of agrarian reform for Hun-
gary to give land to three million
landless peasants. Resolutions call-
ing for a free and democratic Hun-
gary and its collaboration with the

democratic countries were en-
dorsed.
The congress went on record

pledging its defense of democratic
institutions in Canada and the US
and its support of the Roosevelt
administration.
