One critic characterizes the contest as the “crlldest fighting he had ever wit- nessed". Iievinsky rolled round the ring with his fat flapping gently on his ribs. Doyle weaved left hand taps at_him. Before the fight it was announced that a grey- hound owrfenhadcflered Doyle £1 for every straight left punch he landed. How much he will make out of this offer is problematicul. Len Harvey, whose duty it was to total up the 13ft hand punches. said: "Viflpn I gpt to 151 I stop- ped counting". The fight. which was confidently expected to endin a knockout one way or another within a few rounds, never looked like producing anything of the sort.

Palmy Days And

Champ Again

BY JACK naavmy Canadian Press Staff Writer- N. May 17-The faith so c°mm°n I" Tl"! warriors lives strong in the heart of Larry Gains 11nd Wlfly. face to face with lean times, the Toronto negro said he would be a. champion again before lliflflmi up his gloves for keeps. The ringside sages shook their heads at his pronouncement bllt lnrrunlns Larry said all he need-

ed was “a chance". "Then." he declared. “I'll be a champion again."

Once the copper-colored Canad- ian packed enough thunder in his knuckles to win the heavyweight championship of the British Em- pire. Now, Gains admitted Hilly, he is down in the chips.

Rccalls Pnlmy Days

The dusky Gains ran a ham- like hand through his close-crop- ped kinky hair and recalled the palmy clays when he was the champ and spent “at least $1.000 a week". Then he was free from worries over creditors.

Some eight years ago the negro won the Canadian heavyweight title from "Soldier" Jones. another Torontonian. and went campaign- ing abroad. Now. crowding the 35- year mark, G-ains has a seven- year fight record in England but that's about all. When the bill collectors got through with him his assets stood at nil.

Lost to Harvey

The Canadian punch-tosser won the Empire championship and the acclaim that goes with it and then dropped the title to Len Harvey in 1034. He lost when he challenged Jack Peterson who took thccrown from Harvey. His legs were start- ing to lose their staunchness about that time.

"Since then nothing seems to

have gone right for ma", said Lar- ry. "Everything3 gone now—cars. horses and most of my friends. I have to scrape and save just to kw» going!‘ Larruplng Icrry reflected on how easy it was to be wise afterwards.‘ But. he said, being a champion was no cinch. There were too many "good time Charlies".

Costly Business

“It cost money to be a champ", Gains declared. “You got invited everywhere and you had to enter- tain back. I was right in the mid- dle of England's sporting people and used to keep two houses go- ing. I opened fetes and bazaars and contributed to charity funds”. Larry still puts in time with the gloves but to the grizzled fight fans the Canadian is just another scrsptper who got up there and‘

came dmtm again.

Crown

Gehovese We l te r

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) TORONTO. May 17-—Vetcran Gordon Wallace of Vancouver: dropped his Canadian welter- weight crown to the rugged Tor- onto Italian. Frankie Genovese. in a close IO-round tussle tonight at Maple Leaf Gardens before 4,000 fans. A rangy, clever fighter, Wallace was unable to overcome the early points Genovese piled up and the strong finish of the Tor- onto youngster. The 10th round proved the great point-margin for the dark- haired Genovese who fought an in- spiring battle against a more ex- perienced opponent whose looping left to the stomach for a while ap- peared destined to keep tho crown BIL the coast city. Fmankiels sting- ing left, which cut the Vancouver's fighter's face repeatedly and set him back on his heels. was his main weapon in the fairly even struggle. .

On New Year's afternoon, 1935., Yarosz, as middleweight king, fought wllat was regarded as a. “sucker match" against Babe Risko, at Scranton, Pa. His title was not at stake and no one regarded Risko seriously but in the midst of the nlauling Yarosz. was tagged on the . chin and he went down, twisting. his right knee.

So badly was it twisted that he hopped around on one leg and. firi- ally lost on a technical knockout in the seventh round.

Dropped Title

Yarosz underwent an operation but. the leg failed to stand up and after 11 rounds of agony in Septem- ber, 1935 he dropped the title and decision to Risko.

Then Dr. John R, Moore of Temple University at Philadelphia. went. to work on the fighters leg. For a time Teddy was forBol-Wn- B- "waslled up" boxer lucky V) be hill?" blng around with the aid of a. steel leg brace and a. cane.

Still hoping to the last minute the league offic- ials will allow his entry in to re- place the withdrawal of the Holy Redeemer Parish team, he is the authority for making the statc- ment that “his will be the team of
