LA y of st..Louia and Jack Hearn of. Gharlottetowin were the most outstanding. Eddie was for a time middleweight champion of the United States Navy -a which had a personell at that time of at least one hundred- and fifty thousand men. He was what has often been referred to as "a big littl man". He resembled the Bob Fitzsimmons physique - 6 ft. 1 in., spare in build and rangy .. almost as big as any man (paradoxical as it may seem). He had great inherited nat- ural strength, his father. Big Alex Trernblay being one of the strong- est physically in Prince County. Kid Poulton, the Mccloekey brothers and Big Boy Peterson rat- ed high in their classes in Maritime circles. Jenkins, a student at Aca- dia College also rated among the good heavyweights. Jack Heam, who w'a.s Navy physical instructor at Charlottetown for several years, was a former middleweight cham- pion of the British Navy. which at that time (about 1915-20) was larg- er than the U. S. navy. Jack was over six feet in height with no overburden of flesh. He came with- in the required 158 pound limit. The thought of Jack 1-learn mnltas the author hark back to an episode which took place in the early 1920's with the Graeco-Syrian wrestler- hoxer, Jim Smart of Halifax.

suspecting public than some oi! the previous episodes.

Jim took e. tent and wrestling acooutrements to the Charlottetown Exhibition. The midway and "fair- irs" held foirtih. on the Market Square at that time. Jim pointed to his platform and tent which looked good, and confided that he was of the money for license to put on his show. It was ten dol- lars which was posed to him. Af- ter supper the writer spent an hour talking to some cape Breton visit- ors at the Victoria Hotel and then went to Market Square. Silence reigned supreme at Jim's wrestling tent, In a. few seconds Jim appear- ed. Asked why he wasn't working. he made A suggmtlve shrug of dhoulder and glanced toward the tent - "You see what happened, they tore it to pieces". One side was torn out entirely and the rest torn in strips. Believe it or not, he and his confederate had made the first bout so realistic and apparently so cruel that the young man clustered around became so enraged that in desperation they tore it down and Jim had to duck for cover.

Jim had made the bombastic an- nouncement that he would wrwtle any man in P. E. Island. His con- federate, (supposed to be an Is- lander), accepted iihe challenge with the above uneicpected result. It was one shining example ot how easy it is to fool the public. I fig- ured the ten dollars ”gone with the wind" but Jim had another propos- ition. He said. "Can't we put on a boxing bout at Suimmerslde"? The Prince County Exhibition was to take place in Summcrside during the next week. telephoned the late John J. MoNally w-ho was then acting Mayor, lor the privilege. Mr. McNally gave us carte blanche.

I made the mental resolution then and there that Mr. Jim would take a polishing off. It was disgusting the way he bungled his 'show'' at the Market Square. I thought he didn't deserve any more .sy'mpai.hy. Two or three years before that i had nursed him along in an exhib- ition bout. at the Arena in Char- lottetown, pulling punches and working hard and fast to show lots of action to the spectators. Next on the list was to phone Jack 1-learn to see if he would give me a three round workout. I had never met Jack but he was the real dead game sport. His was the British Navy slogan. "Qmnes Venlant" (let 'em all come). We had no audience. For the first minute I thought he must have had six hands - the shower of gloves were coming so fast. We soon throttled down the tempo and went three good rounds. I was considerably oil in timing. and Judgment of distance on ac- count of not practicing for some years.

Smart put up me ring in the skating rlllk at summerslde. There was rs fair sized attendance. When we squared away J-im had a very complacent, selfassurant kind oi an appearance. He was dead open

for a straight left and I drove it with body weight behind it, nai-of enough to knock d(7WTl a cinnarnmil bear. It caught him on the chinf and I don't remember that it took him ofii his feet. Its almost imposs-

ible to knock a man out with a '

straight blow on the chin. Jim con- tinually covered up - kept his: gloves over his face. I kept land-1, ing on the gloves but the force oil the blows were broken. I tried my best to put him away, but couldn't do it. I tried a couple on his ribs and kidneys and I saw a terrible grimace of pain on his face at the second one. I suppose two or three more would have made him quit, but couldn't have the heart to make him suffer the pain which caused that terrible grimricc.

We had gone six rounds and I felt pretty mean because I couldn't knock him out. After a few days he came to visit me. He wa- very sore - couldn't step into a wagon for three days. He stayed with me for some days - helped us to put in turnips. He accidentally got hit on t-he head with a turnip. There was much apology and solicitation about how his head felt. He made light of it. said he scarcely felt it - told us he couldn't be knocked out by an ordinary blow on the head, that he was kicked on the head by a mule in France in World ..ar 1, and the mule couldn't knock him out. I began to feel better - if he wasn't knocked out by the lcick of

a. mule, a. mere man could scarce-

Smart had a mercantile mental-, ity. It was perhaps his natural av- ooatiion. Maybe environment had diverted hlin into boxing and wrest- ling. He proposed that we buy po-, tatoes at New Aniian station. We bought seven cars. They were ship-, ped to a. provision merchant in' Halifax. We netted about forty doi-y lars profit on each car.

The I-lalycon days of boxing and boxing promotion appear to be cast into the limbo of ancient. history. Television is the "beta noir". No more million dollar gates. It may be the beginning of the end. The principals and promoters will miss the "roar of the crowd". No actor, either in boxing ring or theatre. likes to perlorm to empty seats. It's a violent, hard way to make 5, liv- ing. Young men with a surplus supply of energy and nervous force would be well advised to take up swimming, rowing, baseball. loot- ball, field sports and track athlet- ics. It is certainly a hard way of life-a Roman holiday for a blood? thirsty multitude. one must have the quick reflexes oi a bear or kangaroo to be a good boxer. He must have a modicum of the abyss- mal tooth and claw caveman stiiir in his makeup. Against all the caveman tactics can be placed the help to physical fitness given to millions of young men by their in- dulgence in bag punching and simp- le caiistheiiics indulged in by de. votees of boxinsz. Therefore it is hard to judge whether to be or not to be is for the good of the greater, number. It is among the impend- era1bles.-
