Kayo Over Billy Fox

By Sid Feder

NEW YORK. no. 2a "(AP)- Old Gus Lcsncvicli. i-he aged guf- fer they said didn't have a chance, held qn to his world light heavy- weight championship tonigllit by knocking out fresh young Billy Fox, the knockout specialist in '10 rounds before a neat" sellout crowd in Madison Square Garden. Lcsnc-

Blonde Gus, one-sided underdog in the betting against the tan ter- ror from Philadelphia who had run up a record string oi 43 straight knockouts in his undefeated career, punched iihc ears off Billy from Philly virtually all the way and then put him away with a ripping crushing barrage at 2 minutes 19 seconds 0f the 10th..

All the way it was the old story of just. too much experience as the 30-year-old king of the ITS-pound- ers pulled all the tricks of the bag from his 12 years of ring experi- ence and made tho Philadelphian flallcr fight his fight from start to finish. - _

And at thc 0nd. a crowd of 18,318 customers who contributed to a gross gate of $102,520, roared their cheers t0 the rafters for the victory of the white Russian walioper froth Cliflslde, N..T., who is making his first title defence in this coumtly in six years, after spending follrl years in the coast guard,

The end .wasn‘t altogether unex- pected, once Gus switched from his cagy. canny ringm-anship to s charging. tearing aggressor Ln the eighth. Through the ninth. he bee! a loud, bass drum 0n Fox with both hands.

In tire 10th a right siazizercd Billy. liis feared fists had no more power as he waved a harmless left at Gus. Two jabs and a hook slow- ed him to a walk. Then a r1811! cross tore over and l-‘oxwentdown as though hit by a sledge. He was on his back. his arms outstretched. until referee Johnny BYPYWS’ count reached "four." At six he was 0n one knee.

x y _ . The three Prairie provinces, Al- berta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are experiencing the worst winter conditions in years and reports coming from game authorities in- diflflio thet upland game birds, par- tloullrly Hungarian partridge and pheasants, are suffering heavy cas- ualties. There is a, possibility that the season of 1947 will see a pro- tective blanket thrown over all illfvivins upland game birds from the Rocky Mountains to the cast- ern boundary of Manitoba,

No mention has been made as to how the native Ruffcd Grouse and Prairie Chicken gre faring but as both these species are equipped by nature to cope with such condi- tions no immediate concern has been manifested concerning the welfare of the_naf.ive stock, 1.. the West. as in this province, both the Hungarian Partridge and Ring- necked Pheasants are introduced species.

This Province has been blessed with a winter very favouruble to all classes of game birds so la: gs it has gone. Sieet storms in March could do hamt even yet, but qng Illllllg in the brrds‘ favour they are in tip top condition and would be able to withstand q week or s.) "Md 801"! Without. any disastrous results._ Many sportsmen are the opinion that this coming fall will see a great-influx of non-resi- dent gunners to the Province. From the way things are shaping up at FY9591“ it looks as if ‘The Island’ is the only province that will have any Huns this year and many in- terested observers are commending 'I'l1c_ P.E.I. Fish and Game Asso- ciation and Island Pheasants Un- limited for their timely recommen. dation that the number of hunt- rng licenses issued to non-resident gunners for the i947 season be lim- ited to 200.

Furthermore ii the wishes of our sportsmen are acceded to by the Members of our Legislature visit- ing gunners will pay a higher fee for the privilege of hunting this fail. It was requested that the license for visitors outside the Maritimes be raised from $10. to $35. but gunners from the sister provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick be let off with a sum of $25.

A ‘W’ dBYS s80 this columnist talked to a couple oi local R.C.M. Police Constables who saw consid- erable service in West-Canada prior to the war. I asked them how the Prairie Chicken reacted to weather conditions as ext-st in the West this ivinter. Both were of the opmion the ‘Chicken’ would suffer more from poachers than from Old Man Winter.

It. was their experience, when on duty in the West, that once the bluffs and Coulee: become snow- bound and natural food became next to impossible to obtain the Prairie Chicken resorted to grain stacks grouped around homestesds. Many farmers took advantage of this trait by removing a pane c»! glass, or cut a hole, in g building commanding the stacks 0nd whcn the coveys of ‘Chicken’ alighted on them like a flock of hens a shotgun charge raked them from close range.
