ieseas eeeztos ; / , TN Oo abt ad May 21, 1937 Vincent Lopez, the Mexican rope juggler, is elected to act as host to Gus Sonnenberg when the head-butt artist returns to the local ring this week. Paul Boesch will meet James Casey Morrisey on the same eard and in another special event Big Ben Morgan, the bewhiskered Ozark mountaineer, wil] entertain his young friend, Bull Martin. * * At the Sports Centre Tuesday = & might Hee Trudeau again defeated Mel Crowe in a hectic session and for good measure handed some of what hurts to Crowe’s second, Pat McCardle. The referee tossed Pat out of the ring. Bo Campbell and Armand St. Jean wrestled to a draw with one fall each, while George Lowe, the Chinese Flash, took a one fall decision on Pat McCardle in a fast bout. On the same card Don Pitou drew with John Lanchick and Paul * * Singh defeated Jack Ostergard. = a Wince Dundee in Newark, NJ, on Monday won a decision over Thys Menger in an eight-round bout and so made an auspicious start on the come-back trail. In Louisville, Ky, Lew Massey, veteran lightweight fought a ten round draw with Johnny (KO) Stevens. It was a close fight from gong to gong with old x % man Massey finishing strong. * = Frankie Genovese, the Toronto Italian, lifted Gordon Wallace’s crown on Monday night. Wallace went into the ring suffering from a cold and hardly able to breathe. He broke a bone in his hand in the early rounds and never looked like a fighter thereafter. Between rounds he was fed & mixture of lemon and ammonia spirits to ease his breathing. The responsibility for his poor showing must be laid at Jack Allen's front door, and old-timers will remember how Taxi Jack handled Vic Foley, Billy Townsend, Alan Fosten and othe: promising boys. * * x ¥ Mention of Billy Townsend reminds us that the Blonde Tiger has Planned a come-back under the managership of Jack Shields, a former light-heavyweight champion of the Royal Navy. This combination figures on heading East soon to issue challenges to Sammy Luftspring, Genovese, Wallace or any of the Hastern welters. if successful in the Hast, Billy plans to cross the pond and campaign in the Old Country. x = * * Warning with Dr. Gordon McKenzie the medical wrestler, an Aus- tralian sport scribe, thinking that McKenzie would be just the man to approach on the correct methods of diet to keep a wrestler in the best Shape, asxed: “Now, concerning the subject of eating in your profession, just what would you consider sn ideal diet?”’ “Just food in very large quantities,’ was the rather staggering reply. “And I’m no *Pop-Eye’ because I don’t = = like spinach!” = * Vaneouver Sports Club fans were treated to another fine exhibition of wrestling last Saturday night. In the main event were two boys, both first-timers in the club, Kid Eocarno from Port Moody, a husky youth, and Paul Singh, also from Port Moody, a smooth wrestling Hindu. They put on a fast fight, al- though it showed signs of getting a bit too rough at times. In the third round the referee was dumped over the ropes when he tried to get them to break. A deathlock in the second for Paul and an airplane spin in the final round for the Kid tied the match. The Dirty Duke had his ears pinned back in the semi-windup by red= haired Don Lott. Included in the match were all the tactics for which the Duke is famous—or notorious. Hair-pulling, biting, gouging, kicking and a spot of stool-throwing were various incidents of this bout. Don took the only fall in the fourth and last. Vancouver Man Wins First Prize In Spring Press Drive Well, this is one week when this column will be read by everybody, so here goes.

Because of our industrial development, however, all that is passing. The stage is now being set, not merely for a new kind of economic setup, but for a new kind of human life.’—Edward A.

Until it becomes pos- Sible to find out what went on be- hind the seenes and who did the conscious seéelling-out, blame must weigh heavily on the shoulders of all executive board members of the Sereen Actors’ Guild, including Rob- ert Montgomery, Franchot Tone, Frank Morgan, Ralph Morgan, Jimmy Gasney, Fredric March and the rest. * The actors guild nas always been a union dominated from above, and the general membership has been lacking in that trade union experi- ence which might have defeated the present pass. The actors as a whole were truly ready to walk out and support the striking WPedera- tion of Motion Picture Crafts. The details of the way the committee handled the settlement, and especi- ally the way Robert Montgomery whiphanded the membership through the annual meeting at which no one was allowed to speak from the floor, are too complex for this particular column.-But the up- shot of it is that Hollywood is ready for a rank-and-file revolt. and a lot strike goes on badly hit by The federation’s apace at this writing, Salmon Arm, 88; Art Kmox, Ques- nel, 85; P.
