PAGE EIGH | THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1928 ty terial For Boxing Tourney Pear Folks: 1 want to let you in an a little info, which is no more and no less than right off the fire so here goes. "Just: the other night as I was standing on the Four Corners bumps right into an honest to good- ness confab on the art of self de- fense, and as I always was a kind of a inquisitive sort a baby I ups and lends « hand to the whole con- fab in general, in which tho' by the look of some of those guys pans I was as welcome as a chaperon on a Honeymoon, Anyway nuff said! Well it's rumored around that the Fans of the land of SOCK are gonna have a little excitement at the Armories sometime within the next few weeks, and say, all ye bloodthirsty bunch of Ringsiders if your not present when the Roll is called up yonder near Richmond St., your going ta miss a whole lot of Fireworks. Pair of Mules So I may as well give ya the dope on some of the training Battles I witnesses in the last couple a days. First I ambles up to the Excelsior Sporting Club, and there I sees Me old friend Scotty Adair going through his daily dozems in right smart style, Say if you bables don't think this youngster can hit, an how! Judging from the way he bounced that leather pear around I ain't so sure he aint related to a mule in both his hands, I also may say that this same Kid is gonna be a real handfull for some of the smart Boys if he evr takes it into his head to turn Pro and I don't mean I reckon either. Windy Atmesphere Well as my eyes grow more ae- customed to the windy atmosphere caused by a guys piston over in the corner, I found that twenty six pound case of Dynamite, James MacKenzie. Mac was sure making the sparks fly and when it comes to material in the Simon Pure ranks Mr, Playfair Brown hasn't so much of an edge on us after all, and in a whole lot of divisions we can back him off the Map completely, Sub-Divide a Map Then who do I see but Gatenby, Maybe he hasn't won any fights in Oshawa but he sure has given the hoys a show for their money every time, The guys he lost to al- ways knew there was an argument somewhere in the district after- wards. I says to him, "Well Har- ald how goes the fight game," hut he didn't seem go 2nthusiastie about the Leather Pushing Racket but nevertheless he tells me that after Santa Clause has made hs visit he's going to meet any Pozo that is in the market and Sub divide his map for him with plenty of streets in it too, Well folks, I didn't have the chance to get the lay on any ot the other Gentle fellars, hut I hope to give you the Real Dope on em all sometime in the near future. Colong fer now.

Donohue of New London, Conn., the most important business was the report of the cham- pionship committee, which made a few changes in the list of champions and leading contenders that was giv. en out on Sunday night. In the ma- jority of cases where alterations were made strong contenders who have opposed the N.B.A, in the past were given a chance to redecm themselves, Frankie Genaro was recognized as the flyweight champion, with Izzy Schwartz as the logical contender, but in the bantamweight division Al Brown was not awarded the crown, but was included among the contend- ers along with Bushey Graham and Fidel La Barba, the throne being left vacant, Andre Routis, of France, was recognized as the featherweight champion, while Joey Sangor was classed with Denny Bass as the logi- cal contenders, There was no change made in the lightweight situation, A Great Picture With a Great Star "Forbidden Hours" --With-- amon Navarro and Renee Adoree y Mahesh being the champion and Joey Glick the strongest claim- ant for the title. Joe Dundee was endorsed as the welterweight cham- pion and Jackie Fields selected as the contender, despite the claims of Thompson and Sergeant Sammy Bak- er. Mickey Walker and Rene De Vos, the Belgian, are the best of the middleweight class, while Tommy Loughran is still recognized as the light heayyweight champion, with Jack Delaney as the leading contend- er. The heavyweight throne is still open, while the contenders include Tom Heeney, Loughran, Stribling, Risko, Sharkey, Hansen and the win- ner of the Uzcundun-Roberti bout in New York op October 17, ls Whee MORRIS KOHEN Not only played a real game at flying wing, but by quarter time, had all the Falls' signals down pat. From then on it was easy.

It's a great game if you don't weaken and it's growing in popularity all over the continent.

The penalty is a loss to the offending side of 25 yards and the player still gets his free kick. This free kick rule, however, doesn't apply in every regard when an onside kick has just been made, Any player who is onside when the kick was made may attempt to catch the ball regardless of whether the player of the defending side marks the kick or not, Don't move, if you are in the line when your team is pull- ing a fake kick, ahead of the position which you were in when the ball was snapped. If you move ahead, your team will be penalized by the loss of ten yards and one down, If it happens on a third down, your team loses the ball.

The terms of the contract were not made public, "It's great to be back home," John- son said after the contract had been signed in the office of Clark Griffith, president of the club.

The Toronto lad was out- boxed, however, to such an extent that there were few, if any, dis- senting voices when the deeclslion was announced, In five previous Toronto appear- ances Genaro had shown to advan- tage, but in none of them did he reach the boxing heights of last night's bout, Genaro's perform- ance was that of a master boxer. He presented his usually wonder- fully clever defense and added to it a nore determined and versatile attack than usual. The harder hitting Belanger forced the issues and made it a real battle, but Gen. |are was never hetter than immedi- {ately after being shaken by Belan- ger's hardest punches, While defeated Belanger gave a fine account of himself, He boxed an uphill battle without backin~ up at any time and showed himse!® to be in perfect ocndition, back to his best form. He just wasn't good enough to take back his tit- le, but he needs no excuses. Dox- ing the hest flyweight in the world he gave ample evidence of the stout heart that has made him a favorite here, and if he maintains the form last night he will retain his popularity. Certainly he has regained the prestige he lost last spring. Genaro Versatile As usual CGenaro did little straight punches, but he employed practically every blow known to the ring. On a few occasions he scored with straight lefts; but hooking punches, interspersed with right hand uppercuts and short chopping blows with either hand scored many points for him. Won- derful ringmanship, defensive tac- ties of the highest order played just as important a part in the champion's impressive victory as did the blows he landed. The diminutive Italian brought into play all the knowledge gained through years of ring experience |ana offset the desperate attacks of* {the grim-faced Toronto youngster, Both men appeared to be in per- fect condition, Genaro finished the bout seemingly as fresh as when he entered the ring. Belan- per showed signs of the hard con- test, but was not slower or weak- ened at any time, spectacular contest, Genaro Retains Flyweight Title by Decision Route Over Belanger Kid Roy Ordered to Defend 1i:le Montreal, Oct, 15.--Leo (Kid) Roy, Canadian lightweight and feathers weight champion, was ordered to dee fend the former title against Al Fore man British challenger, on Monday next by the Athletic Commission toe day. The commission declined to recognize a contract presented by Ar. mand Vjncent, manager of nud Larsen, whereby Matchmaker Alec Moore had contracted to stage a ten round bout on that date between Roy and Larsen. The commission received a chal- lenge from Harry Hill, British boxer, and from Bobby Leitham, Montreal, for the bantamweight championship of the Dominion, which was recently awarded to Joe Villeneuve of Quebec, Both challenges will be forwarded to the Canadian Boxing Federation. Promoter Alec Moore also filed contracts for a ten-round bout on Monday night for the Canadian wel- terweight championship between George Fifield, of Toronto, the holds er, and George Siders, of Montreal, Varsity Chooses Track Team For Montreal Friday Toronto, Oct. 16.--The Univer- sity of Toronto Intercollegiate and track team has been chosen, With the host of new men that Varsity will send to Montreal there is bound to be plenty of fighting competition, The Blue and White, although many of the old stand-bys are gone, have enough good fresh- men to expect a victory over Me- Gill and Queen's, If the Blue Ath- letes win on Friday it will be thef:! fourth victory in a row.
