CANADA'S FINEST CIGARETTE

Clean llploxing

ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 30-(AP) - Armed with a unanimous vote of confidence from the New York Senate, state boxing boss Bob Ichrlstenbcrry yesterday renewed his vow to purge "hoodlums and gangsters" from the ring game.

Christenberry told reporters he is satisfied with his progress so far in trying to "drive criminal scum" from boxing and that he believes the sport can be reformed.

But he said he will "do all I can

to have boxing abolished" in New iYork State if he becomes convin- ced that it cannot be cleaned up.

Whether the rural teams have improved, or the Summerslde teams have gone back is anyboy's guess. but certainly something has hap- pened to bring the hoys together. Ten years ago a Summerslde nrs: time would beat an O'Leary or Bcdeque or Borden team with a stick in one hand and a half-dozen eggs in the other-without break- ing an egg. Now they have to work like the deuce to kcep on even teams with the outport boys. Isn't it about time we developed a few niorc Jack Schurmnns, Ralph Sil- lipliants.
