Honors of the evening went to the main event when Smiling Sam Ireland, hard-hitting Olympic light- weight, clouted his way back in the third and fourth rounds to get a well earned draw with Russell way until the beginning of the third when Sammy landed a wicked over- hand right, softening the big boy up enough to cop half the call. Referee Tommy Panassa threw out one bout and called it no con- test when Frank Lemby, 140, and Paul Marshall showed a decided aversion to heavy punching. Hiddie Troll, famed young Aries bantamweight, boved a very crafty 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.

Under auspices of the Chinese Refugee Association, and promoted by Wing Hay, well known local Chinese sportsman and boxer, the show was given to a crowded house. In the main event, Emil Lust of Medicine Hat, threw too much leather in the general direction of Bill Emke whose seconds threw in the towel after their boy had hit the resin for the third time. Dud Milier slammed through three rounds with George Ambree to annex a TKO call over the lo- cal southpaw. In the prelims, Wing Hay lost to Victoria’s hard hitting Albie Davies and Pug Biggs hammered out a win over Dave Smith. 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 Worm Dawson, Dominion amateur welterweight champ just back from the Empire Games in Aus- NS ASK YOUR LOCAL MERCHANT FOR ‘Pride of the West’’ Overalls tralia.

DISTRIBUTORS SOINTULA Sointula ooperative | Store 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. AT Give No Reason 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.

Continued 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.
