Tommy Bland, Earl Kinsmen. Ron He:-idley .1 ii it Young Clements. After defeating the best that could be offered in the east Bobby hit out for the United States where he chalked up an impressive lring of victories. He enlisted in lhe Amcrlcan army at the outbreak of World War 2 and after his discharge in 1945 he made a comeback at New Glasgow July 15, 1946. and won a close 10-round decision over Walter after this bout Allen pounded out a 10-round decision over tough Tony Odo of New Waterford. N.S. Middleweight Nick Melnlck of Sydney. N.S., was another Nova Scotia boy to make good in ring bouts during the war years. He served in the Canadian navy but before joining the services he knocked out Ronny MacNcil of New Waterford. who at that time was hailed as the ”'1'oy Bulldog" of Maritime rings. Melnick was a popular perform-J er in Montreal where he fought. Fernand Clermont.

Parker, a big man who stands six feel. five inches. was dwarfed- by the seven-foot-two South African; who dances round the ring like a. clumsy bear. 100-POUND "EDGE" A roar of laughter welled up ' from the full house of 12,000 fans when referee Charles Davidson lifted the arms of Parker and the 325'.i-pound goliaih. Parker looked like a welter- weight beside his huge opponenlp although the Canadian weighed 225 unds. The Associated Press card gave Parker seven rounds to three for "Pattie." While the result was something of a roadblock to the hopes of the South African giant. his backers remained hopeful of moving him on to bigger gates along the roadl travelled 20 years ago by Prinio Carnera. the huge ltalian' who WILFRED O.
