The crowc was jlarger than the one that saw the first card, and filled the larger hall. "Reqd‘" Must:ato and Gecrge Roy were the best the boxers while "Popeye" Gauthier showed more proâ€" mise than any of either the boxers or wrestlers. RBoth the boxing and wrestlâ€" inz bouts were run off at the same time in two rings alengside cf each otner. The crowd favoured the boxing and more or less packed the end of the hall that the boxingâ€"rinz was in,. The souts were over about ten o‘clock. Marte] Hayes spcited Eddie O‘Neill five pounds in the first boxing bout when he weighed in at 90 lbs. but he managed to hold the decision to a draw after three rounds. The next fight was a noâ€"decisicn, exâ€" hibition bout that saw the first cf the heavier fighters. Fred Garroway, 140, and Curly Innis, 130, put up a good Aurel Gauthier and Marcel Gauthier bo‘h 76 lbs. was the third bout. Though the boys had the same name they were no relation to each other. Marcel got the decision after carrying most of the fighting. â€"Joe Wadsworth at 103 lost his bout to his much smaller cppsonent, Norbert Henry, weighed in at 90 lbs. In the second bout there was a lot mjre action between Young Robitgille Omer Marin and Jimmy Ogllvie fcught to a draw in their bout. Ogilâ€" vie who was five pounds lighter at 100 ibs. had a distinct edge in the first round but failed to hold his margin through the fight, In the semiâ€"final "Pcopeye" Gauthier drew Gordon Poitras as his victim. "Popeye" hit Poitras with everything but the ring posts and sent the crowd into a frenzy. Danzting around like a Louis, ‘"Popeye" landed his punthes with ease and by the end of the first rcund Poitras‘ faze was red but bloodâ€" less. ‘*Popeye" kept up the pressure throughout the three rcunds and easily won his Herb Hoff and Rene Poulin both 70 tbs. finished off the boxing with a fast Eigfit Wrestling Bouts and Ten Boxing Matches Attract Large Attendance to Event Under the Auspices of the T.P.A.A.A., on Tuesday Night.

Silk Dressing Gown Given Young Boxer "Popeye" Gauthier Surprisâ€" "Pcopeye" Gauthier, the Timmins Pcolice Amateur Athletic Association‘s cslourful young pinâ€"weight mittman, was presented with a blue silk dressing gown, Monday night, at the T.P.A.A.A. gymnasium No. 1.

If ‘he zssuld have seen «ue youngster‘s delight at this unexpected gift, he would have teen amply repald for=â€"higâ€"generosi!y. In the grunt and groan section of the hall there were eight bouts that held the attention of tne fans who like tn see the fighters get all tangled up. The pick of the wrestling was the setâ€" to between George Burtcn and Bill Cepps. Ecth were excelent showmen and after all that‘s half of the wrestlâ€" inz game. Copps had a sixâ€"pound adâ€" vanilage at 138. For fifteen minutes they twisted and groaned and then got straightenedâ€" out again but neither of them were able to obtain a fall. Leo Larcse, a flying tackle speczcialist, was the next best in his bout with R. Durocher. He had a fiveâ€"pound adâ€" vantaze at 120 and used his weight:â€"to advantage when he plunged at his opâ€" panent. It was the longest bout on the card, lasting for almest till the twenty minute time limit before Larose was able to pin Durccher to the mat. The pupils of the asscz:iation are adâ€" vanting under their able tutors and the gymnasium is usually a scene of action with boys skipping, shadowâ€"boxing, punching the bag and everything else that future champions should do. Apmong those showing merit are Arâ€" mand Major, whom the fans will be sure to nctice, and Roland Secord who has plenty of ability. However, all the beys are doing so well that it is diifiâ€" cult to make any distinction. fight. Both small, the boys got around fas and pleased the crowd.

The initial meetâ€" ing proved a pronounced success, both from a financial and sporting standâ€" point, but unseasonably cold weather was experienced at the second session, which did not turn cut as well.

Under ordinary cirsumstances, the meeting would have terminated on the Saturday, ‘but because ¢of the Civic holiday on Monday and the large crowd that attended last year on this day, it was decided to include it in this year‘s schedule. With two Wednesdays, two Baturdays and civic holiday, the meetâ€" ing will be well blessed with hclidays. A halfâ€"mile track, Queen‘s Park nas become tremendously pepular with racâ€" ing enthusiasts in the Porest City and within a radius ‘of fifty miles, and now that the majprity of folks attending these meetings have become more acâ€" quainted with the racing the forthcomâ€" ing session is expected to be an outâ€" slanding success. Last year it was decided to stage but the one meeting anywhere up to the fourteen days allowed by law. In all, eleven days were taken advantage of and this meeting was an outstanding sucscess from every angle. However it was not known at the start just how lonz the session would run, within the fourteen days, of course. 1i In keeping with the Coronation fesâ€" tivities over ‘ome, there will be a Corâ€" onation â€"parade on opening day at the Maple Leaf Stadium when Dan Howley leagds his 1937 flock of Leaf ball players against the Orioles from Baltimore. ~~Toronto, Ont.â€"The lads around our district got in a bit of batting practice over the weekâ€"end and our serret operâ€" ator, Shanty Hogan, wired us from Haines ‘City,.Florida, where the Queen City‘Baseball Club is in training.
