The Provincial Rec- reation Centres will provide a high spot in the Communist party’s picnic pregram at Seymour Park this Sunday. VEXED MOORE’S return to the fight promoting racket with another of his so-called new deal entertainments leaves everything to be desired. Once again we are moved to ask our- selves and everybody else concerned just how much longer this kind of stuff is going to be tolerated. Once again we are forced to comment on the seeming inefficiency of the boxing commission, and once again we advance the suggestion that its members should either take action or resign. But perhaps they are too far removed from the howls of the fans to hear and heed. Tt is odious to draw comparisons, we know, but it is also obvious that the amateur shows are be- coming more and more popular precisely because they often give more pleasing exhibitions than many of the ballyhooed profes- sional shows. Instance: At tne recent amateur provincial championships I sat be- Side a bunch of tourists from Los Angeles. They were loud in theic praises of our amateurs and con- sidered the Woodhouse-Clarke fight equal to anything they had seen in the old home town. And boy, com- ing from an American tourist, that should mean something. = te = OB HICKEY, of the North Shore Junior Olympics and holder of TO THE FINEST = BEER YOU CAN BUY Whis advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Gentrol Board or by the Government of British Golumbia. the BC lightweight amateur boxing title, has left for the harvest fields of Saskatchewan.

Some very per- tinent questions are likely to be asked of President Porter as, for instance, why the Provincial Re- creation Centres were refused affi- liation, particularly when, under Tan Ejisenhardt’s direction, more is being done to “foster and develop athletics’ than by some we could name.

Vie Butler, who has not met de- feat in his last half dozen starts, took on Bill Masson for six 5- minute rounds in the main event and handled his opponent nicely for a draw. Vic, incidentally, has Scotty Jackson and Frankie Rae chasing him for a match and his middleweight crown. The semi-final between Scotty Moran and George Kasolanko pro- vided some heavy going, Moran winning in the fourth of five rounds with elbow jabs and a boay slam. In the wrestling opener Doc Wail- kins and Dancing Johnny Lamb- chuck brought everything into play. A foul by Johnny in the fourth, however, lost that worthy the match when Scotty Jackson main- tained his decision over the howls of fans. The big attraction on the boxing eard was the exhibition match be— tween Tommy Burms and Stan Glover, at 150 lbs. Both boys dis- played some clever boxing.
