Press Drive Fund To Benefit By Maillardville Show

With the final arrangements for the first Maillardville boxing and wrestling show completed, Promoter George Langstaff an- nounces that his house will be a sell-out. Kay Olsen, Maillardville 170-lb. pachyderm, will wrestle eae Bunka in the main event, with the betting 8-5 on Olsen in.

Tarzan and Johnny Lambehuck will grapple on the semi-

the ring for many years and have consented to this match with the purpose of the winner being in a posi- tion to go east and be fairly confident of meeting their best boys.

Each is distinctly a leader in the lightweight field and each claims the Western Canada title. Swartz has a draw and a four-round KO over Dud

Miller, but according to letters from Alberni, Miller was winning all the way through and got a little care- less, and with the blonde Vancouver boy, getting care- less spells sleepy-bye.

_However, Miller is anxious to redeem himself, and Nanaimo’s sport lovers are eagerly awaiting the big event next Saturday.

Nanaimo Wins 4-3 In May Day Game

Galahads Lose 3-1 To Rangers

CUMBERLAND. An all-star Cumberland team lost 4-3 to a picked Wanaimo team in the May Day football game here which was witnessed by a record crowd.

While there was little to choose between the two teams, Nanaimo’s good combination play and smooth teamwork gave them the edge.

NANAIMO-—After having Cum- berland Rangers completely be- fuddled in the first half of the BK Cup final soccer game and a one- goal lead safely tucked away, Na- naimo Galahads went haywire and lost 3-1.

This gives the Rangers a crack at Nanaimo Fletchers for the BK hardware.

Veteran “Sacki” Conti, an Island soccer great of fifteen years ago, and son Conti at the Ranger helm were responsible for Cumberland’s surprising recovery in the second half.

welterweight wrestling champion- ship.

In the semi final wrestling match, Eddie ‘Tarzan’ Potvin, courier du bois from Montreal,

showed up well against VSC’s ace grappler, Scotty Jackson, to take a hard fought win. Jackson put up one of the best shows this re- reporter has had the opportunity of witnessing and would do credit to a circuit card. Although this Tarzan baby has never been licked in five years on the mat circuits of the East, he came within an ace of losing out to the Vancouver Scot.

The prelims, usually stale and lukewarm, put the crowd in high right off the bat when Belfast’s ‘Corporal’ Paddy O’Brien (no re- lation to the General) mixed torsos with that fast little fly- weight, Stan Nelson. Nelson is just a kid of 16 and has as much color as most old-timers, but not enough

savvy to win over such a little toughy as O’Brien. The little Corporal won in the

third with a cross over toe hold. Second spot featured the return of AWOL Eddie Bolton, curly haired youngster from VSC, and Stringbean Tommy Ryan. Ryan must be six foot high and six inches around but gave Bolton a tough match. Both boys fought fast and clean to end up with a body press win for Bolton and ap- plause for Tommy.

Good Exhibition The boxing card however was the big interest and fans are still talking of the main event in which Tommy Quinones, featherweight Puerto Rican from Maillardville, stayed the route with a game ex- hibition against welterweight Maurice De MLauriers. Maurice punched the oftener and had the Valley boy covering constantly. De Lauriers copped the nod. Herbie Lang (150), lost to Jack Harris on the semi windup in a one-sided battle, with Hard-socking Harris drawing blood in every round. Sledhammer Hymie and Wander- ing Willie, two fast lightheavies, boxed 3 rounds to a good draw. Louis Sauve, Maillardville, drew with Jimmy Cowan, VSC, in three. Sauve had his man groggy sev- eral times but his sense of sports- manship made him stand back and not take advantage of Jimmie’s condition. Jimmy finished strong to earn a draw. i 1 Angus McLean lost on a second round TKO to the Beverly Kid in the opener. Al Ford refereed all the matches, with Vic Butler doing the calling.

Latest drive news received at press time was that Cumberland with a further donation of $46.05 had raised its total to $70, exceed- ing the amount raised in 1937, to take the Vancouver Island lead from Nanaimo.

Grassy Plains, BG, sent a Jast-— minute contribution of $6 and is now leading all villages in the province.

Concert Draws

Packed House

The recent Grand Cosmopolitan Concert held in aid of the press drive at the Empress theatre left a strong impression among the hun- dreds who attended. Scores with- out tickets were turned away when the house filled long before the cur- tain rose. The tremendous amount of work put in by the committee in charge, and long rehearsals need- ed, preclude the immediate staging: of another concert, but the various mass organizations which contribut- ed talent are to be congratulated on production of an outstanding event.

Special mention must be made of the Russian choir, the Winnish Women’s choir, the Croatian Tam- boura orehestra, and the Serbian selections, the various solos given by artists in voice and instrument, the dancers and gymnasts, and last but not least, the directors, whose efforts combined to make the concert a great success.

Many To Attend Youth Congress

With the third Canadian Youth Congress drawing near, all indica- tions point to a strong delegation being sent to Toronto this month from Vancouver. Among the 16 representatives of BC youth ex- pected to attend are: Jerry Hundel, John Jopson, John Stanton and Fred Fullerton, who are elected from the local youth council.

The Provincial Recreational Centres, the Graduate Student Christian Movement, and the Japa- nese Citizens’ League are expected to send delgates; Maurice Rush, provincial secretary of the Young Communist League, will also travel with the BC delegation, while two young people from Victoria will join the contingent.

Workers Armed

MEXICO, DF, May 3—Sunday’s May Day rallies here revealed the fact that President Lazaro Car- denas has in the past five weeks organized and armed 100,000 oil workers aS a weapon against any fascist enemies of the state within the regular army, remembering that reactionary army officers com- menced the fascist revolt in Spain.

The Spanish loyalist ambassador stood with the president on the re- viewing stand, giving and receiving the clenched fist salute of the people’s front.
