The show was stolen, however, by Tuffy Thomas and Jackie Ing, Vancouver Chinese boy, in a semi- final bout that brought the fans to their feet. Both boys showed pienty of action and were obviously fiving all they had in as fine a displa of fying leather as has been witnessed at the WSC for months. In the wrestling, Bill Masson and Ed Bolton, the latter making his first appearance this season, went three S‘minute rounds. Both used a let of holds in a fast tussle, the bout finally going to Bill in the third with three body slams. Two heavies Fred Varrick and Scotty Moran. were brought to- gether in the semi-final for four S-minute rounds. Fans enjoyed this one immensely as tht big boys bumped and squirmed around the ring Scotty won in the fourth with a body press, but it’s a cinch that a lot more will be heard of Varrick before very long. Don Pictou and the Boston Kid erappled in the final, Pictou using just about everythine but the rins— posts in his attempts to flatten the Kid. We succeeded too, when he bent a pail over his opponent's head and took the match for one fall. = Qn this coming Saturday nishi’s eard Ronnie Beaudin and Frankie Hall are expected to have a spot. 3000 At Powell River Meet POWEBLE RIVER. — A record crowd of three thousand people turned out for the parade and track meet held here on Labor Day, the first since this town was organized. - The track meet terminated a two-day celebration, featured on Sunday by inter-union softball, 1a- crosse and soccer.

But for the fact that a rain-sodden track bogged contestants down, the Powell River girl would probably have broken the provineial record in the 60-metre sprint for senior women. equalling the record which has stood Since 1932. Her time for the sprint was 7 6-10) Canada’s Empire Games team this year, ran second in both the 60-metre and the 100-metre races.
