l

Title.

"McD", writing in the Montreal Standard, with reference to a Mc- Kenna-Dei Fontaine bout, has this to say:

Nova Scotia. Boy Making Good

Here's another chap we would like to secbox in Montreal.

Ho is Jack McKenns, of Plctou, N. 9., who is the Canadian middle- weight champion, or at least he claims that title.

This boy is making them all sit up and take notice in the United Stat-

es.

He is bowling them over like nine pins.

An earnest, conscientious worker, he is willing to show his wares at all times.

During the past four months he he knocked out Howard Bentz, Red Grange, Jimmy 00x, Tony Ross and Tubby Noble, besides whining decia-i ions over Walcott Langford andg Johnny Gerardia. ‘

McKenzie scales in the neighbor- hood of 155 pounds but his main hobby is taking on the big ones.‘ When he fought Noble, the latter; weighed 165 l-Z against 154 for Mc- Kenna but Noble lasted only three rounds.

It would be an energetic action on the part of some local promoter‘ to bring this Nova Scotis bear-cut.‘ into the ring with Del Fontaine, of WinIflDiiB. who also claims tho Canadian middleweight champion- ship, and see which of tho two is the better man. ‘

That would be some scrap, and would give some much-needed var- iety to the game in Montreal.

weight division. In his fight with Fontaine here Devos had to call up all his reserve strength u» beat the durable French-Canadian, who was coming on like a house-sore in the finishing rounds.

Devos was enabled to obtain the decision because of his greater ring experience, he having had over 100 fights to his credit against about 40 for Del Fontaine.

Del Fontalne has since been ' several sensational fights in the United States, meeting such war- riors as Red Uhlan, Walcott Lang-r ford, Young George Dixon, Joe Roach, Lefty Cooper. Billy Alger, Joe Anderson. Dave Shade, Everettl Strong and others. ' -

A McKenzie-Del Fontaine bout" would be a corker for local fans.

McKenns also fought Rene Devos, and in this bout staged in Halifax nearly a year ago, the Maritime Province boy nearly had Devos on the canvas in the fifth and tenth round. He also fought over twenty bouts in the United States and lost one out of the lot by a close decis- ion, that was to Chicago Joeyi Brown, who it is understood fights Mclienha in Sydney, the first week in September.

Mr. James Pendergast, well known Island sport promoter informed the Guardian last evening that he is watching Jack McKennm sensat- ional Canadian middleweight cham- pion with another hard-hitting New York, Boston middleweight.

Mr. Pendergast has been in com- municstion during the past weeks with Eddie Mead, McKeunsRs man- ager, with a view to having McKen- na show his wares here again dur- ing Exhibition Wcek, and has been successful. after closing on a large guarantee. His first attempt was to match Roy Mitchell with McKen- na. but Mead declined as Mitchell outweighs the hard punching Can- uck by twenty pounds and has him every other way in reach, height, ctc. llowcvcr through Frankie

At this point there will be four days racing. four late closing events hav- Jngrheen added in the series that produced such remarkable c0 on the trip from Endicott.

At no time in the history of the Circuit has there been so much high class racing as has been seen this year. while the two year old trottiers have not shown as fast us" m, tonne;- years all of the other events have been faster.

The time for the meetings at En- dicott and Elmira average 2:09. Withfavorable weather it will be faster here as none of the tracks in the stale has better footing than can be found at the Middletowu course.

Bo far the pacers have been the leaders. Silver Weather surprise when he won at Endicott in 2:05 1-4. At Elmira the clip was iss- ter as Highland Scott defeated the Hartford butter ball in 2:04. On Wednesday Grattan Bars ts named in start against Winnipeg and volo Rico while on opening day Joe Lew- is and Louis Direct is in with Bon- nie M., I-iollyrood Jscquelln and Jeanette Royal.

I-lollyrood Colin and Guy Ozark look like the best in the two trots that will be decided on Tuesday. Both of them won at Endicott and Elmira. On Wednesday the two year old trot will result in another bat- tle between Bob Galloway. Hayes, and the Guy Axworthy colt Care- win the three year old event.
