Well- open —i, We Old Sol did a swell job of collaberation on Vancouver's best 24th of May ‘for ten years, over 5000 hardy sports fans braved the intense heat at the Hastings Park Oval to witness the year’s Imajor progressive sports event, the fifth annual CCE track and field meet. While such stars Howard, colored sensation from South Vancouver, Jean Kennedy and Doreen Sullivan, also from South Vancouver, broke records with a nonchalance that would do credit to a famous cigarette ad of yesteryear, other performers in the field bracket were giving out the as Barbara year’s best two-bits’ worth, al- though painfully conscious of the intense heat. During the meet a band of twenty single unemployed men paraded through the park headed by “Doc” Campbell and Hirnie GCum- ber. The boys were given an en- thusiastic reception and Campbell and Cumber were given the priv- ilege of using the loud speaker sys- tem for brief addresses on behalf of the boys. A collection of $255 was taken up and donated to the general fund in aid of the Post Office and Art Gallery sit-downers. HBightlight of the day’s perform- ance was the 75-yard dash for ladies, when Marion Borden of Powel River upset all the dope and pushed in ahead of Barbara Howard for a close win. Howard finished ahead in the 100, however, with Borden a close second. At least two kids of Olympic Games calibre were discivered in the persons of Jean Kennedy, pretty little record-breaker who smashed three records at the High School meet on May 23, and a lad from Nanaimo, Campbell Williams, who dashed off the 100 in 10 2-5. CGampbell is last year’s BC junior champion and has a great future. Vancouver Sports Pays Tribute To Fallen Member SOLEMN ceremony was ings. Time, 18 minutes 22 seconds.

There were not many dry eyes¢ in the crowded hall during the Simple ceremony. Levens, affec- tionately known as “the Dirty Duke,’ was one of the best loved of the thirty-two VSC members now serving with the Mackenzie—-Papi- neau Battalion in Spain. The Duke, who was 25 years of age, was attached to the Medical Corps of the United States Army for three years. This training served to make him a valued man on the Spanish war front, where his cheerfulness and expert first- aid knowledge did much toward maintaining morale. evens was born and educated in Toronto. He worked for some years as a garage mechanic, later joining the US Army. He came to British Columbia after his dis- charge. As a wrestler the Duke could match holds with anyone, and his last appearance was on the niain event of the Communist Party's picnic at Windermere last year. Gevens is the second of the YVSC boys to die in Spain. The other was Ghuck Parker, former instructor of the club, a memorial to whom now has a place of honor on the south wall of the VSC arena.

Levens crowded into the wrestling ring and stood with bowed heads while referee Vic Butler, the club’s oldest member, slowly counted ten over the eorenile who died Griffiths, De Lauriers Iie Both Down For Nine Count Helipsing anything in the line of ‘boxing shown in town since the death of professional boxing, Sonny Griffiths, famous young VSC wel- ter, and Maurice De MTauriers, French southpaw ace, pounded each other into the resin for a nine count apiece in the main event of last Saturday’s mit-mat carnival at the Vancouver Sports Club- Griffiths was the first to score in the second round when a right hook put the Frenchman down for nine. Maurice came back in the third to slam a terrific barrage of Mary Anns into Sonny, winding up with a roundhouse left to the jaw put— ting his man away for nine. The last round was even enough to make the match a popular draw. ‘Billy Wiles, genial squirm king of the VSC lightweights, spotted Johnny Lambchueck ten pounds and eame off second best in a wildy. Dark Horse George Kosolanko nearly upset the applecart by throwing Billy Masson. However, after Masson tore his eyes away from the third seat off the aisle fourth row ringside, he made quick work of Georgie, using a surfboard with complications to win handily. Don Pictou lost to Tarzan in the main squirm go by a foul. This was a mad scramble from bell to bell, with Pictou outbunkings George Bunka as the club’s bad- man. Stan Welson, half-pint grapple expert, drew with Dan Walters in the opener. Buddy Burns drew with the Bev- erly Kid in the boxing half and Continued Pahki drew with Romeo in the opener. “DUKE” LEVENS By ART SCHWARTZ W SHUCKS!

Heeling the need for some diver- sion, enterprising division leaders ef the 700 sit-downers organized an impromptu sports meet. Sprints, egg, three-legged and wheelbarrow rdces were held on an inter-division competitive basis, followed by radio entertainment, harmonica and sundry elocution endeavors by the men, all of which was enjoyed as much by visiting sympathisers as by the men them- selves. Among those visiting were Alan McLean, manager of the Georgia Hotel, who appeared smiling among the suests. “I’m not here official-— ly,” he said, “but you honored me with a visit and I had to return the compliment.” Another well-known figure was A. M. Stephen, pro- vincial president League for Peace and Democracy, who assured the boys of the continued co-operation of outside sympathisers. Another was Tom Ewen, central committee member of the Communist party, who received an ovation. Miss Helen Mattenly distributed prizes, and a bouquet was present-— ed to Mrs. Mattenly, one of several visitors from the Mothers’ Council. Drive in 1937 is now boosted to pass thaf mark by a $10 donation from Mount Carter ULETA branch, which prings the total to new high of $403.81. Worthern British Golumbia is ad- vanced by $10 from P. S. Lazaroff, Quesnel, who, despite the extreme disadvantage of both legs ampu- tated at the hips, has already to- talled six subscriptions with dona— tions at $16. While attaining this remarkable score Lazaroff sold Ad- voecate and Clarion bundles at a value of $14.85. The goal of $300 is nearer by $259. It was helped to this total by a further $9 from Quesnel Com- mittee, and from fIsle Pierre, 23 miles west of Prince George. Greater Yancouver is already $61.68 above its 1937 score. Surrey has topped its 1937 showing by $34.13. Southern BC is now $3.88 ahead of its 1937 total. Vancouver Island and IWorthern BC will find it difficult to duplicate their i937 totals in the few days that remain. This effect can be offset by last minute efforts of other committees so that the present standing of $2839 can be pushed past the $3000 mark. All available funds should be rushed in to reach headquarters by May 31. The analysis of the press drive published in the Clarion Weekly of May 13, correctly shows BC as leading all provinces in total of subscriptions sold, but BC members have also passed the records of other provinces in the total value of subscriptions sold, as nearly all three-month subscriptions sold in BC are priced at $1 for two papers as against the price of 50 cents charged in other provinces for one paper. This means that members of the joint drive organization throughout BC have a higher at- tainment per member than that reached in other provinces.
