As the round negared an end, Dempsey sudâ€" denly took the offensive again, slashâ€" ing Willard until he hung on, his legs buckling under him. As the giant sat in his corner after the third round, he told his seconds he could nct continue.

Jess‘ jaw was broken, his eyes swolled almost shut, his cheekâ€"bone split.

Other branches of sport As noted before The Advance has been giving in past issues a review of the outstandng events of 19384 in sport. The last year has already been csvered as far as August. To clip and keep these articles will give a comprehenâ€" sive review of 1934 in the field of sport. Here is the summary for September, giving the highlights in sports in that month. There is not sufficient money in the fund to complete a rink and some cther fuurds would have to be made availâ€" able before the project could be underâ€" taken. Apparently not even the locaâ€" tion has been seriously considered. One possible piece of ground is located too far away from the centre of Schuâ€" macher and another which is in about the right place belongs to Hollingeor. This week‘s rumours had it that MciIintyre would build an artificial ice palace after the fashion of Internationâ€" al Nickel‘s at Copper Cliff. This is not being considered at present, postâ€" ponements on account of lack of ice in the Porcupine district have been rare. What would be more to point, an offiâ€" cial told The Advance, would be a system whereby the place could be kept warm encugh for the spectators to be able to enjoy the game in comfort.

Briâ€" title 13th On November 15th, 1838, the Grand Caledonian Curling Club, a much more businesslike association, came into existence and ever sinte that time it has been the "mother" club of the game just as the St. Andrew‘s club has‘ for golf. After this club received the For centuries the Scots went along playing their game much as the boys used to play marbles until the chamâ€" pizsnship business began. Just Oover a century ago, in 1834, the first attempt was made to organize the sport. The Amateur Curling Club of Scotland was the name chosen for this first group o1 eurlers but it must have beson a sad affair indeed for one critic remarks: "This mutual admiration amateur soâ€" ciety came t> nothing as might be expected." Like many ansther game that has found its way about the world, the Scottish are given credit for curling This may not be strictly true, but cerâ€" tainly to the â€" Scot belongs the honcur. if such it be, and on this point curling widows may disagree, of organizing the thing so that it really entered the realm of popular sport. The reasons some other people thought that perhaps someâ€"one else besides the Scots has something to ds with curling are the terms used in the game. Many of them have a distinctâ€" ly Flemish or Teutonic origin. . "Curl,‘ for instance probably came from the German "kurzweil," a game.. ‘"Tee" seems definitely connected with "tighâ€" on," an old Teutonic word meaning "to point out." "Bonspiel" itself is almost certainly a combination of two Belgic words, "bonne," a district, and "spel" play. That‘s about the sum total of any evidencs there is to prove that curling was NOT an invention of the Scottish. There has besn some referâ€" ences found in 500 year old manuâ€" scripts about some Teutons throwing stones on the ics but then they may have been doing that to investigate some law of science. Flemish Merchants Visit l | Some people liks ‘to believe that Flemish merchants brought the game along with them when they went cver to Sceotland from the continental ‘low‘ countries to learn how business really shâ€"uld be done. That was in the 16th century. Someone suggests that they showed the Scots how to play the game so as to distract their attention from some deals they Were making. We do know that curling has been a favourite winter pastims in the northern part of Britain for the past 300 years and in 1607 the Orkneys were already famâ€" ous for stone. cur fun "Curling." says one authority, "is a game in which the players throw large runded stones up:>n a rink or channei of ice toward a mark called a teo." Sounds childish when put that way, doesn‘t it? But drop over to the Timâ€" mins Curling Club some afterno‘n or evening (@almost any one during the week) and you‘ll soon find out that curling is no game at which to make Did Curling Start in Scotland or Elsewhere? some Hold that it has a Flemish or Teutonic Flavm'nr.

Curling is cne of the few games left in the world in which betting is frowned upon. Small stakes may be played for but as a general rule nothâ€" ing changes hands at the end of a night‘s curling or a week‘s curling exâ€" cept a few pieces of silverware to the buying cf which the whole club has contributed. As if iron and stone were not eoncugh variety, someone hit on the idea of making "stones" of wzood. It is not on record just how popular thess became. In any case t is a far cry from the old "channel" rocks (smocthed stones pickâ€" "channel" rocks (smocthed stones pickâ€" ed up in the beds of rivers) which were roughly drilied to allow the curler‘s hand a grip, to the accurately machâ€" ired, highlyâ€"polished, ‘neatlyâ€"handled Ailsa Graigs, Burnccks, Carsphairn Reds and Crawfordjohns of today. The quarrying of curling stones, we learn, is a most meticulous procedurs. The r:cks must never be blasted in order to be certain that no strains exist that might be responsible for the stone shattering in the midst of the The weight is another feature that has gone through many variations. The learlier records indicate that stones weighing between five and 25 pounds were tossed down the ics, much after the style of quoits. Then they began throwing them, n> doubt after someâ€" one discovered that a heavier rock was more likely to stay in place nsar the tee when once put there. Then curlâ€" ing became an exercise for real athâ€" letes and the weight of the rocks jumped as high as 115 pounds. Toâ€"day the probable variation is betwsaen 35 and 45 pounds. Stones, by the way, were not always of the pleasant shape they are toâ€"day. In the early days of the game it apâ€" pears that the shape and size of th» stons were left almost entirely to the individual curler‘s peculiar nction,. We have it on good authority that trianguâ€" lar shaped ones were in favour with some experts. 1i9U3 aAnd WEere Ddeailfn By (he Ccuriers of this continent, due, it is said, to the difference in climatic conditions.

Encyclopaedia Brittanica has it that "In the intense cold of Canada and the United States, iron is f:sund more serviceable than stons and the irons weigh from 60 to 70 pounds." Nowaâ€" days, even in parts of Canada known for their extreme winter cold, iron has been dispensed with and the stones seem to work all right.
