FIND it hard to agree with the writer who says Braddock

was the most I think his retir time,

Parr wasn't in the books atall, atall. & match between Braddock and Bechmeling wouldn't have drawn

Peanuts, nor would a return match with Joe Louis. The fight was for tune-up purposes alone and, believe me, Braddock sure upset the old apple cart with that win.

The big three are Louis, Farr and - Schmeling. If Braddock would have clipped Schmeling the whole mil- Jion dollar gate structure would have tumbled about the wily Ja- cobian ears. Therefore, it does seem that Braddock did just the right thing (or did someone sug- gest to him that it would be a noble thing to do?). So we can now put Mr. Braddock in moth-balls, where he should have been two years ago, and sit back pleasantly while Ja- cobs gets grey-haired trying to fig- ure out a way to beat the Anti-Nazi Teague’s antipathy toward the Black Uhlan. And I'll lay ten to one that he can’t do it.

Second on the docket is a look into our own fight crystal which takes on a rosy hue now that Nick- ason has left the protecting wing of one Theodore Moore. The old cash register will do double duty on the night that Chuck meets Sonny Buxton, the prediction of which I hesitate to take on and tentatively (very, very tentatively, Mind you) say that Buxton figures to win.

AS an added suggestion, wouldn't everything be just too, too, if ddie Wenstob would meet the winner?

As this corner seems to be all fight today, let’s keep it that way and do a little pro and conning on the upset (yeah, we have ‘em here, too) KO that Jimmy Richards handed the Western Sports Centre's ace welter Jamieson on the last @m card. Rumor hath it that Ber- tram ran around with the argu- ment that Richards weighed 155 instead of the 147 announced from the ring, to which Jess Adinall said, “Qh yeah, let's weigh’m mn’ see.” Richards tipped the beam at 146%, and whose face was red?

Incidentally this was Richards’ first fight in any ring, and show me the ox he can’t KO with as much gusto and mustard as any

pole-axe.

Hits Japan Olympics

Harvard Director Voices Oninion

BOSTON.—William J -Bingham, director of athletics at Harvard University, has voiced his vigorous disapproval of the proposed hold- ing of the 1940 Olympic Games in Japan.

Bingham, member of the Amer- ican Olympic Committee, rapped the Nazi propaganda show of 1936, too. -

“J am sorry those in charge are awarding contests to aggressor na- tions whose governments do not recognize public morality or na- tional honor,” he declared. “These mations, and especially Germany in 1936, use the games as a symbol of power and glory. They are spoiling the purpose for which the games were revived.” Bingham was chairman of the Olympic track committee for the 1936 games and was known to have been shocked at the militarism, pomp and propaganda of the Wazi Olympics.

A large spontaneous movement against holding the Olympiad in Japan has already sprung up in the United States and Canada.

year ago was notoriously dead as a fight centre. Vancouver could show the Dempsey-Firpo fight and still be in the red. I dunno, maybe it’s the climate, or maybe it's the people, but something is drastically wrong somewhere.

Bunka Flattens Don Lott

Even Old Sel would have been hard put to outshine the beam on Harry Miller’s pan last Saturday night as some 300 cash customers filed past the wicket for the first Vancouver sports club showing in the new quarters at Gore and Has- tings streets.

By far the biggest attraction at the housewarming was the grudge- return match between Don Lott and George Aberhart Bunka. It seems that the pretty Donny was going to change the Uke Champ’s facial contours a bit and wreak havoe in general upon his entire anatomy. The procedure took place alright, but not upon the person of one George Bunka.

Lott managed to Keep his wily and colorful rival tamed until the last round, when Georgie went na- tive and pitched him out of the ring several times, finally kayoing him with a couple of left feet to the grocery department and one well placed rabbit punch.

Lott says he’s going fishing for a couple of months to add about 20 pounds and then—look out Bunka.

Glever Youngsters. The cleverest boxing bout on the card was staged by a couple of young Japanese about 10 or ii years of age, whose exhibition would do credit to any professional in town. ‘These little fellas really have ability and should be given all the attention possible. The crowd gave them one of the big- gest hands of the evening. Sailor Hogan drew x.with Sledge- hammer Hymie in three fast rounds with neither boy doing much heavy punching. Forty-two year old “Toughy” Thomas, who claims he once train- ed with Freddie Welsh, drew with Guy Cantrell, who has possibili- ties if someone would- teach him to use his fists. However, with some good instruction and a hair- cut he may turn out all right.

Bill Masson drew with Scotty Jackson, the plump blonde, who either had a couple of aunts in the audience or else suffers a fatal attraction for the fairer sex. Mas- son used every underhand trick in the bag, including the old one of spewing a mouthful of water on Wee Scotty, for which trick he was thrown into the rinsiders’ laps, where he was joined by Jack- son for a good half round of wrestling on the floor.

Fritz Schmidt, who looks just like you’d imagine him to look, took a one-fall win from a gent whose name we couldn’t catch. The
