SPORTS PROGRAM FEATURES PICNIC

FEATURE of the Communist party’s annual picnic at

Seymour Park on Sunday, August 28, will be a gymnastic
d athletic display by members of the Provincial Recreation
sntres under the direction of Edward Kelter.

Another feature of the picnic will be a big sports program,
th track and field events, several novelty contests, including
greasy pole-climbing contest and a pillow fight, having also
en arranged. For the winners there will be a number of

luable prizes.

Hundreds of people from North Vancouver, New West-
mster and the lower Fraser Valley are expected to turn out
- the picnic, which has now been established as one of the
yjor events of the year in the progressive movement.

Committees, of course, always claim that this time they in-

tend to do things on a grand

style. “Bigger and better than

ever,” is a familiar phrase on the lips of those in charge of ar-

rangements.

But there is every reason to believe that the

committee in charge is likely to accomplish the difficult task
of surprising itself by the success of its-ambitious program.
Tickets are on sale at the New Age Book Shop, 50 Hast
Hastings street. Between the hours of 9 am. and 2 p.m. trans-
portation will be provided from the corner of Cassiar and
Hastings streets. Ticket holders are entitled to take part in
the main draw and to free bus transportation to and from the

picnic grounds, including bridge tolls.

Charge to non-ticket

holders will be 10 cents return.

Of interest this week is the news

The British Boxing Board of

breach of contract in a case hing-

time. Farr was to fight for Mull and

Also from England comes news
of a rising young star in the box-
ing firmament, Eric Boon, the
lightweight who knocked out Ray-
mond Renard, the Belgian cham-
pion, in 30 seconds of the first
round. This was the first time Ren-
ard had ever been kayoed and, con-
sidering Boon’s demonstrated fistic

Wrestler, However,
Fouled Boxer

The guy who first complained
there was nothing new under the
sun may have known His onions,
but it’s a cinch the headline go at
Vancouver Sports Club last Satur-
day, showing the boxer vs. wrestler
angle in novel guise, would have
perked even his jaded tastes.

Two of the club’s better-known
stars, grapple-artist George Bunka,
and leather-pusher Sonny Griffiths,
performed the honors before a
wildly appreciative audience.

Griffiths had things under his
control for two rounds, using his
famous straight left and right
hook follow-up to good advantage.
He had the doughty Bunka on the
canvas three times for counts of 6,
8 and 9. The Ukrainian caught on-
te the combination in the third,
however, and the match from that
point on was a free-for-all in which
referees Masson and Tommy Burns
got the worst of it.

The performance ended in a
draw, after a terrific right smash
from Bunka landed on Sonny’s
spilling the boxer for a

In the semi, Johnny Lambchuck
drew with Scotty Jackson in five
wild rounds. Stools were the chief
weapons in this one and if Johnny
hadn’t been on his toes it would
have been a three-way call for the
Scotsman.

The opener showed Vic Butler,
former contender for the middle
weight championship of Canada,
and Bill Wiles, current club favor-
ite, in the wildest matfest of the
evening. Wiles was lucky to get a
draw.

Boxing is being revived on the
weekly card and Saturday’s show
augured well for the coming sea-
son.

Toughy Thomas and George Sul-
livan boxed three clever rounds to
a good draw and, in the opener,
Blondie “Killer” Kilrain and Billy
Brown drew, with the blonde ter-
rier from the East End having a
slight edge.

Youth Arrange
Labor Day Ball

As Labor Day draws nearer,
sponsors of the ball at the Town
Hall are growing more and more
optimistic. Over 600 tickets are out
and a huge attendance is expected.

Orchestra leader Harry Bisson-
ette promises an excellent program,
numbers ranging from foxtrots to
old-fashioned polkas in swing-time.

The ball will open an extensive
campaign for a Youth Centre in
the city.
