Lenora’s time was 1.12, which clipped .2 seconds off the old record. Athletes from British ‘Columbia will be well represented at tthe Olympic Games. The ‘Canadian aquatic squad is dominated iby seven Pacific Coast swimmers, while eight B/C. thinclads are included ‘on the track and field team. LENORA FISHER B.C. swimmers who will wear ‘Canada’s emblem in world-wide competition are Irene Strong, Kay, McNamee and brother Gerry. all of Vancouver Amateur Swimming Club; Peter Salmon. Vic- itoria; Lenora Fisher, Leo Portelance and -Allan Gilchrist. all of Ocean Falls. (With a Salmon and:a Fisher on the team, there should be some hunch betting at Helsinki.) Track and field athletes from B.C. who will compete in the Olympics (which open July 19 and close ‘August 3) are: Jack Hutchins. Vancouver; Bill Parnell, North Vancouver; Bob Hutch- ison, Victoria; Doug Clement, Luella Law, Eleanor McKenzie and ‘Alice Whitty, all of Vancouver, and Dawn Josephs, Victoria. Canada is sending 133 representatives to Helsinki—111 com- petitors, two spares and 20 officials—for the 11 sports in which we will ‘take part against the world’s best. Why we need 20 officials is the $64 question. Half that number of badgers would have been more than sufficient. * * SUGAR RAY Robinson may be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world—in my opinion he is—but no one who takes a look at the Robinson-Maxim fight pictures will deny that Joey won ‘on the square. The argument that “the heat melted Sugar” hardly sounds convincing when you stop to realize that Maxim fought under the same conditions, yet appeared just as strong in the thirteenth round as at the start. : The fight pictures show only the first, second, seventh, tenth and thirteenth rounds. In all but that fatal last round Robinson. was master of the situation, outboxing the slower Maxim and pil- ing up a big points lead. But the pace, plus Joey’s body punches, wore Sugar down, and he was a rubber-legged Jad in the thirteenth, falling flat on his face once when he missed a looping right, and stumbling around every time Maxim landed a punch. Even if Ray had managed to answer the bell for the forteenth, there’ is little doubt but that the fresher Maxim would have dropped him for the count. * BARGAIN BASEMENT: Guess last week's question was a bit too tough, for nobody sent in the correct answer. The second who tossed Choynski’s gloves’ into San Francisco Baw before the Corbett fight was Nonpareil Jack Dempsev, middleweight champion in the Nineties. Corbett refused to fight bare-knuckles, so Chovnski wore steel-ribbed driving gloves “to even things uv.”” He cut Corbett's face to ribbons, but Gentleman Jim won by a knockout in the 27th round, This weeh’s Bargain Basement question: What is the record for consecutive scoreless innings in major league pitching?
