fighters never succeed inthe arduous sport otthat boxing W35 be lure boxing and the man who eventually finds the golden oppor tun beckoning to him is one who has never glilenubhopes ith has carried on even when at times it seemed adversity might force him out or the picture Thats been the story of the greatfighters through the years which leads us to the latest example of man who was determined to become head man among theheavywcights and finds the opportun ity staring him in the face the night of July 25 when he meets Archie Moore worlds lightheavy champion in 15round encounter in the Maple Leaf Baseball stadium Because rangy James Parker 6yearold rgiadiator from Saska toon whodeolded in 1950 to join the iisticbligsde and has been plying his trade with great we cess ever since had explicit faith in himself hehss manoeuvred into place today as the Canadian and Empire champion and has been rightfully rated as the cham pion in Ring Magazine in the Bri tish ratings So on the 25m because Dave Rush famous Toronto sportsman and philanthropic figure believed thatParker will eventually be come the third heavyweight champion to arise under the Johnny Bull banner Bob Fitz simmons the Cornishman was the first and in later years it was Noah Brusso more familiarly known as Tommy Burns out of Hanover Canoda succeeded to the richest prize in fistiana Not only has Mr Bush shown great in terest in James Parker but when Jack Solomons outstanding promoter on the rather side de cided to extend his exploitation with battle in Canada the Parker backer himself to show his faith in

elderParkcr had only Dheskil1nish but that was brilliant victory against the British Columbia light heavy weight champion Bruce Kelly One wildroundhouse right caught the champion off guard and wound up with victory for Park er So history again shows that while hisson JamesJ also fol lowed in his footstepshis chief weapon to fistic fame also was his ability to land knockout punches with both hands Not onlydoes the Parker his tory in iistiana date back to the days of the elder parent but ac tually the ancestry wasprominent in the goldrush days when great Uncle and others vied for gold in the
