ter of 1903 or 1904. Munro was born and grew up in Baddeck or Bculardiarle, Cape Breton. He had knocked around quite a bit. Was in Pennsylvania. Cobalt and rorcupine, and happened to be in Butte at the time Jeff was on his tour. He had very little box- ing experience or training. l-le must have been 28 or 30 years old at the time. Anyway he got over a good one on Jeff's jaw

and he went down for a nine count. The world (the boxing world at least) was electrified.

It was the first time

ever kissed the canvas. I I I I

Jeff had

- I don't remember the round in which the knock down took place. but Jeff wasn't able to put him away tin the four rounds. Munro was touted by all the big American dailies as being born in Pennsylvania. It made the Cape Breton people in Boston at the time very sore. Many of them at Field's Corner, Boston. knew him pcrsonal1y- went to school with him. Jack came to Boston quite soon after his sen- sational victory over Jeff. His first public appearance was in old Music Hall on Washington St. I think it had a Tremont St. entrance too. I was a motor- man (driver) for the B. El. Ry. at the time. I took one of his schoolgirl friends. Flora Morri- son of Baddeck to see him at Music Hall. Flora was in the seventh heaven of delight. (If she or any of her relatives see this, please write). Munro struck it rich in Cobalt a few years later.

Jack was trained well and beat Gus Rhulin and several other good men in preparation for a bout with Jeff-but Jack didn't have much of if chance with Jeff. who would be out for revenge and to erase the black mark on his escutcheon. It was somewhat similar to the case of Joe Louis in his second fight with the Ger- man. Incidentally Joe shouldn't have lost that first fight. Joe didn't keep his left high enough for a guard against the Germans first right. He should have done as he did in the second fight- go right in and slug his man in- to submission. The German was just as good a man for the see- Ond fight as he was in the first. and he lasted only one round with Joe in the second. I O I

In Louis's first bout with Jer- sey Joe Walcott, he knew he was really beaten-left the ring be- fore the announcement-expecb int: it would be against him. When asked by some one in his dressing room after the fight, it he thought Waicott a second ruler. he said "its me that's the second rater". Even in the second match Walcott got another raw deal. The referee nagged Walcott

and caused him to change his

Walcott put up another good fight with Ezzard Charles. l-le must have been in great shape to be able to weather that 9th round and be in better shape at the finish than Charles. Judging

from the side lines Charles doesn't it p p e a r scintillating. Layne, the big Utah boy beat

Walcott in '7 or 8 rounds. It took Charles the full 15 rounds. I O C I

A boxing contest is the hard- est thing" in the sport calendar to forecast. and therein lies one of its greatest attractions viz. un- certainty. So many different fac- tors are conducive to success or failure. No system of logic or rleason prevails. A may beat B and B heat C and if A is match- ed with C, it often happens that C is the winner. He has a cor- taln style, it may be freakish. but he carries the fight to A, makes him "break ground"- never gives him a chance to "get set"-all the time on the aggres-

sive. Battling Nelson was per- haps the greatest exponent of this "boring in" style. l-le was

willing to take one or more pun- ches in order to get a chance to deliver one. He showed the after effects: he took plenty right and left counters on the head and jaws. His ears were crumpled and reduced to about the size of fifty cen.t pieces. I I I

Jim Corbett had no marks on him-that I noticed. I rode in the same El. car with him once in Boston. Was too raw and un- sophisticated to even try to con- verse with him. Had a nice talk with Fitzslmmons at the Lang- ham Hotel in Boston. Fitzsim- mons was a most gentlemaniy man-the soul of natural urban- ity-affable, easy to converse with. I don't remember the topic

of conversation. I was rather green and shy then, and no doubt was over-awed by the glamor of such a world famous mnn. I-lc was about 6 1 inch in height. pretty big a nd the chest. l-lad splndly legs and

small hips. l-le was really a freak in stature. He never weighed over 164 lbs. (middleweight lim- it) and reliable authorities state that he was down in weight for the championship bout with Cor- bgtt to 152 lbs. (The official weight given at the time was 154 lbs.) I hope to describe the memorable encounter later. and in greater'd.etall).. I

At that time he was in the nightly act of saving the heroine (his wife) in their play being shown at the old Globe Theatre (Dover and Wash.). The heroine was put in an embarrassing posi- tion by an unscrupulous four- flushlng suitor, who bribed the farrler who shod the team he and the heroine were driving, to arrange it so that one of the horses would throw a shoe at or near a certain hotel necessitating a stay overnight-thereby com- promising the heroine. Fitz hap- pened to be travelling in the vicinity, under the cognomen of Lord somebody or other. He had on all the accoutrements of royalty-beaver hat, swallow tail- ed coat, stiff white shirt-a. pic- tura once seen never forgotten. l-le proferrecl his services in- stantly to the lady in distress. and lo! the blacksmithing scene unfolded .on the stage--complete with anvil and bellows and all other requirements. (Fitz was a horse shoer.in Australia).

I I

I have seen coats come off fairly quickly at our tea parties and gatherings in earlier days here. but I never saw a quicker doffing of hot and coat than Fitz did on that occasion. He grabbed the shoe with his tongs. hit it about twenty-five blows of the hammer in 10 or 12 seconds. l-le had already donned a leather apron and the horse was present on the stage. l-le lifted the foot in his expert manner and presto the job was done. I don't think the whole work took over a min- ute. or a minute and a half. The audience gave vent to it great sigh of relief, then terrific, tum- ultuous applause. God was in Heaven and all was sweetness and light on earth.

Sport Echoes from Prince county

am the pleasure of seeing the first two games of the Maritime Alexander Cup hwkey W131! Pm" ed in Sydney. As the scores indie- ate the games were very close WI!-5 little to choose between the two teams. We never saw 3. 81'0"? 0- fnns so supremely confident. in their team as the Sydney fans are- Even after the first game they in- slated tin: the Millloniifel Were 3 shoo-in for the championship. and that they would win without being extended very much. We sussestcd that Bucko Tralnor was in our humble opinion the best player on the ice in the first encounter and this was like reading excerpts from "Mein Kampf" to General Mont- gomery. Purse heresy. but they smiled lndulgently in consldermion of the fact that we were a. visitor. We did meet some fans in the rink during the second game, however. who conceded that the Islanders would be tough to take. . 0

We've heard a great deal about the Sydney hockey fans and their intolerance and must say after see- ing them that we cannot go along with the idea that they are worse behaved thanvthe average collection of fanclom. In fact, they sounded very much like a. typical crowd at the Charlottetown Forum. They kldded Johnny Horeck when he es- sayed the giant-killer role in the first game. and their derision seem- ed for the most part good-natured (Johnny took on all comers that first night, and liked them better if they were big, raw-boned bruisers about twice his weight). Vitale was still Vitale in that nltial game. and he didn't get hel the roasting he would have received from a group of Moncton or Halifax onlookers. I I I

The sports writers said some things we didn't agree with, but when they said the Islanders run out of gas in that first game, they weren't. indulging in fiction. Not only that but Leo Lnmoureux's boys also ran out of gas in the so.-ond game. In the final minutes of. each contest they, or at least a lot of them. were practically out on their feet. Hal Gordon must be beginning to dread those hectic flnales. What is the answer to this final fade-out? They must be in as good condition as the Millionaires. Is it because of their style of play which uses up their energies fast. or is it be- cause the Mlllionalres are better fortified with reserve power? Your guess is as good as ours, but the fact seems indisputable. To our way of seeing it. the Islanders played rings around the moneymen in both tb periods, they edged the Sydney smoothies in both second periods, but the final periods were all Mil- llonaire. Perhaps it is ,because they're getting too many penalties. (Vitale got only totally undeserved one in the second game. Just to show you that Sydney fans can be fair, most of them around us agreed that the Sydney player should nave got the penalty and not Vitale, or at worst both of them should have gone off. Certainly the Sydney play- er got his illegal licks in first). I I I

It seems to be pretty unanimous that the referees are totally ined- equate. While facing off in the cir- cles on either side of the net sup- portlng players parked themselves within the circles and stayed there with impunity. A lot of serious rough stuff was let go and lesser offenses sent the perpetrators to the sin bin.

I' I C

Llppy Gaudet wasn't fooling! I-Ils bantnms are as good as he claims they are. They won 'Summerslde's only Island hockey title by down- ing the Charlottetown bantnms 5 to 0, and this was their smart young net tender. Ulric Cvallant's fifth shut-out of the year. The boys have been undefeated in seven games. They have scored 38 goals to the oppositions 4. In this game for the Island crown Alan Warren scored two goals. John Whalen had one goal and two assists. Claude Gau- det (Lippy's boy) one goal and one assist. David Darby a goal, and Gordon and Grant Grady one as- sist each.

I I I Llppy and his bmitams wish to thank Mr. Andrew Perry, proprietor 01' "Andy's Sea Foods" for the fine feed he gave the boys; also Bud Mountain. George Gucrgls and Mark Gaudet for supplying oranges and gum. Congratulations to Llppy and his boys for giving Summerslde its only Island title. I I I

Kenslngton Pee wees lost out to Sourls Pee Wees in the Island finals by the score of 4-1. The Kenslngton lads played well, however. and went down with flying colors. So we must congratulate them too for their fine effort

looks like 1950- All Over Again For The Dodgers

By JOE REICHLI-IR MIAMI, Fla., April 2 A (AP) -- It looks like the 1950 season all over again for Brooklyn Dodgers. They've got a new front office headed by Walter F. O'Malley and a. new manager in Charlie Dressen But the team is the same. It has first-place hitting and first-place fielding but fifth-place pitching. Dressen, the fiery little guy who succeeds old Burt Shotton, is on the biggest spot in baseball. l-le must win or else. shotton lost out on the final day and was fired.

Rival National League managers aren't making it any easier for Chuck, either. To a man, they pick the Dodgers in win the flag.

But BF00k1Yn had the best team last year -- and lost. The Dodgers

Question: How did they lose? Answer: They got fifth place pitching.

The pitching this year figures to be worse.

Where can Dressen find somennc to compensate for the loss of Erv Police to the army? The young righthander was just about; Brook- lyn's best pitcher in the second half season. He wound up with la vie- tories. Psllca. Don Newcombe and Preacher Roe comprised the big three.
