Shannon being retired to stud doomed the hope that he might run against Citation in the Tanforan Handicap.

Coombs said Shannon II will be shipped to his Spendthrift Farms in Lexington, to be placed in stud in the spring.

In Lexington sportsmen said Shannon II definitely will not run against Citation in the Dec. 11 stake race.

"Shannon II was weighted out of the race," said Coombs. "We do not intend to run him under the conditions."

The Australian horse was allot- ted 127 pounds for the 1 1-4-mlie ‘fanforan event, while Citation, the horse of the year, got 123 pounds.

The seven-ybar-old Shannon l1 leaves the turf with American vic- tories in the $50,000 Argonaut Handicap, the $100,000 Hollywood Gold Cup and the $75,000 Golden Gate Handicap.

At Golden Gate Park he equalled (he world record of 1:47 3-5 for 1 l-S miles and of 1:59 4-5 for 1 1-4 miles.

According to Doug (Windsor Star) Vaughan, you can alivays get 10,000 well chosen words‘, more or less, out of any hockey mana- ger in defence of a player trade no matter how the figures may show the deal to be panning out. Take, for example, the major N.ll.l... swap of this season be- tween DOITOII. Red Wings and CI!)- cago Black Hawks. The Detroit club gave up defenceman Doug McCaig and fomvards Jimmy Ccn- acher and Bep Guidolln in ex- change for centre Genrize Gee and right-winger Bud Poilw, Both Tommy Ivan and Jack Adams of the Wings profess to be well sat- isfied with their cud of the I)8l'- gain. It is ditto. wlili a capital D ls far a< Messrs Chat-icy Conaclier and Bil Tobin o.’ the Hawks.

a o n

Actually, the cleul has probably helped both clubs, but to date (h: Hawk-s appear to have benefited the most if for no other reason than that James (Pencil) Cona- cher has been going grcat guns for the Hawks. single-handed he has been responsible for at lczist t-wo Chicago triumphs with his four-goal burst against the Rang- ers Thursday being the top N.- HJ... sniping effort of the season.

O I O

Ivan and Adams knew that they were giving away one of the most talented left-wingers in hockey when they traded Conacher. He is probably one of the two or three fastest skaters in the league and ranks in the same bracket as a stick-handler, Why. then, you might ask would a club be willing to dispose of the services of such a performer? Ivan and Adams have an answci‘ to that one,

O O I

Although Jimmy Ls listed in the programs as weighing 155 pounds. it is doubtful if he ever scaled more than 14.5 pounds soaking wet. l-Ie is a marked man when the going gets rough and tough and a heavy bodrvcheck can ruin his effectiveness for an entire evening, The Detroit club likes its players moulded on more durable lines.

I I

When Lhe deal was announced Ivan and Adams said they figured Gee would give them needed strength at centre ice- and that Poile, one of the Lop scorers in the circuit last season, would hammer home a lct of goals, Gee has dons everything expected of him so far. As for Poile he has demonstrated that ha possesses one of the hardest, if not the hardest, shots in (die league but he is so slow that the Detroit strategists have been afraid to use him for regular duty. He has

Times Tough For Boxing Promoters

BY ED ROMAINH

VANCOUVER. Dec. 1 -- (CP) — These seem to be tough times for boxing promoters whereas a ciozcn or so years ago there was always a young 1nd eager to do battle for a snwhuck. Nowadays no SEII-Ytspetillig prelim-boyi will submit. to having his nose punched in public for lcss than $50.

‘(Barring Joc Louis." writes Eric (Vancouver Province) White- head. “the best. of the current crop are 'l‘ony Zalc, Rocky Graz- ;ano, Sugar Ray Robinson. lke Williams and Willie Pep.

“But look at that. hammering herd who roared out of the carly '30s, grim-jawed, sensational young killers who wcre weaned and suckled by the worst depression of modern times graduates of dingy gymns, breadlines and empty bellies."

Whitehead says Louis himself was one of this breed — he fought his first pro fight for $20 in Detroit in 1934.

“Then there were men like our own Jimmy McLarnin. Barney Ross, Henry Armstrong, Tony Canzoneri. Lou Ambers,

"At their heels," says Whitehead. "a horde of less-talented battlcrs scampered for bookings and didn't dare haggle at a prelim fee - be- cause lt was a simple case of ‘no fight, no eat.’ Fighting was their only job and they knew’ it."
