NEW YORK. June 27 - (AP) -— Billy Fox, the Philadelphia flatten- er who puts fellows to sleep better than a can of ether. chalked up his 46th k-nockout in 47 professional starts by flattening Artie Levine of Brooklyn in three rounds in Madi- son Square Garden. Fox scaled 171; Levine 164_

In a. slugging pier-six brawl while it. lasted. Levine came back fighting twee from what appeared to be "curtains" to stagger Fox at the end of the second round. Then, after mcmentarily taking the play at the start of the third round. he ran into Billy's high explosives and was stopped at one minute, 32 see- onds of the session.

floored with a fearful left hook at the end of s. barrage. the Brook- lyn battler managed to get to his feet just before the "l0" count sounded. Fox leaped in with both hands carrying dynamite and was punching Levine into complete helplessness when referee Ruby Goldstein stopped it.

The smallest crowd to see a Garden tight in a year-JQQZ ous- tomers-rattled around in the big arena. contributing to a gate of $26,902.

A strong organisation of horse- men have taken over Richelieu Park. Montreal. and intend to make it one of the banner race tracks of the Dominion. Last Sat.- urday night they opened up to a crowd of 0.000. being the first track in Canada to race under the flood lights. Those who in- stalled them made s. wonderful job of it and the great improve- ments to track and grounds were v:idely commented upon. Harry Clark of Indianapolis. Indiana. was present with his starting gate and it made a great impression. The pari-lmutuel wickets d!‘ a thriving business and the crowd in the grand stand and along the rail roared their approval of the

winners. O ‘It 4- 4 A One of those present was the noted sports commentator. Elmer Ferguson of the Montreal Herald.

Elmer writes: "We drifted into a state of slight amazement last night down at Park Richelieu

looking at the first sight of flood lights ever turned on a Canadian race course, and at a cream col- ored starting gate that ‘skimmed down the track in front of the trotters and pacers. The flood lights at the cast end of the track that nestles down close to the joining of the rivers. in a rustic setting. are all you expect flood lights. to be and illuminate the track perfectly.

The 2.28 stake for Woodstock‘ race meet has had 18 paid up entries. The stake with 8350. added by the club will make the purse $1105.

It was the first annual meeting of the organization which was form- ed last year and later on incorp- orated at the recent session of the Provincial Legislature. There are now fifty members actively engaged in catering to the touri- ists and general travelling public who are banded together in a co- operative effort to improve the facilities which they offer and to deal as a group with problems that affect the industry as a whole.
