Frankie Rea is also slated to put in an appearance with an opponent as yet unnamed. Last Saturday saw some wild and woolly wrestling between Dan- Sing Johny Lambchuck and Doc Wilkins, who went six 5-minute rounds at the club’s Orange Hall headquarters. Evenly matched in weight and height the boys staged an extra bout in the hall on their way to the dressing room. The of ficial go ended with one fall for the Trucker in the third and one for the Doc in the fourth. George Bunka took the laurels from the less experienced George E2eestolanka in the semi-event with @ good pin in the fourth and Scotty Jackson and Bill Masson advantage for a no-fall draw. : aS HASTINGS BAKERY Hish. 3244 716 East Hastings Street 4668 East Hastings Street 1769 Commercial Drive e Quality Preducts at Rioderate Prices e We Deliver to East End and Grandview Homes ‘‘Thrifty Housewives Shep at Hastings Bakery!’’ 100% UNIONIZED see $600 NEEDED BY AUGUST 15 FORWARDED TO DATE $300.00 Rush Your Contributions for Spanish Volunteers =O... — Friends of the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion ROOM 43, 615 WEST HASTINGS STREET VANCOUVER, B.C.

Overcoming many diffi- culties, they have succeeded in building what is acknowledged to be, from the standpoint of star performers, the city’s premier boxing club. A survey of performance over the past year shows that many of its members have won championships. Heading the list is Newsy McConachie, holding city, lower mainland and provincial bantamweight titles and, but for a raw decision against him in Winnipeg in the Dominion championships, holder of that title also. Wext is Alan Dunua, who took the provincial title from Frank Glover in the 175-Ib. class. Sam Chapman holds the 135-Ib. title, and Bud Walsh was the finalist in the 112-Ib. class at the Golden Gloves tournament in Seattle last year. Ralph Clarke showed in his fight against Gordon VWVoodhouse, pro- vincial champion, last Saturday that it won’t be long before he is wearing the 147-lb. crown. In Bert Lowes, 160 lIbs., and Cece Cordick, 126 Ibs., the club has thyvo boys capable of holding their own in their respective classes against anyone on the Pacific Coast. The club is confident that it will return from the next Golden Gloves tournament at Seattle in the fall with several of the titles. ioe BC amateur bosine championships were staged last F'ri- day and Saturday before crowds of 1500 each night. With- out question, the outstanding bouts were those between Vic- toria’s Patterson and Grandview’s Frank Glover on Friday night and Woodhouse, Grandview, and Ralph Clarke, Aries on Saturday night. view boys. However, the crowd showed hos- tility to the split decisions which allowed Woodhouse and Glover to advance further in the tournament. By a remarkable coincidence, both losing boys were only 18 years old, both were fighting title-holders and had Tommy Burke cast his in their favor. In the case of Clarke when he was dropped in the final round by a distinctly low blow which later examination proved to be within amateur rules, the bout should have been stopped to give Clarke three minutes to recover. Wood- house should have been warned and the round given to Clarke. As I predicted last week, Clarke forced Woodhouse to go the limit and the manner in which he drove the champion all around the ring in the final round and draped him on the ropes as the bell rang brought the fans to their feet. Without doubt, it was one of the best fights seen in amateur circles for years. Woodhouse continued into the final to Knock out Norm Dawson in the second round. Dawson, how- ever, had been through a gruelling mix with Eric Brunell, Langley, and had not recovered. Alan Dunn, Aries, gave young Glover a going over, having the In both cases the verdict went to the Grand- latter groggy on occasions, break— ing his nose and relieving him of the provincial title. = s = At the Caledonian Games last Saturday Barbara Howard, who was beaten by Marion Borden of Powell River, claimed Miss Borden “beat the gun” in the 100 yards women’s dash. The starter, who on several occasions seemed to be having trouble with his gun, said that it jammed when he tried to fire it in order to recall the run- ners. As there is a keen but friendly rivalry between Barbara Howard and Marion Borden, it is unfortunate that anything hap- pened to affect the race. Bs = = Amateur officlals seem to be very lax in their methods. In the BC boxing championships the draws were altered to those pub- lished and several of the boys had to wait more than an hour to weigh in. it is quite evident that the feelings of competitors are the last consideration with amateur officials, yet it is the boxers the public pays to see. Although the wrestlers had trained for months, they were not allowed to compete. Why? —YOREIST. Continued False Creek Continued Volunteers the Municipal Improvements As- sistance Act. At a meeting on False Creek Flats last Monday, addressed by speakers from many different or- ganizations, Dr. Barton stated that he thought everybody was agreed that the project was necessary. “What is required now is action,” he declared. “People in the local- ity must use pressure to see that this is carried through.” Delegations elected from this meeting visited the city council the following morning to enlist the aid of aldermen.
