Amongst these will be Gian- ni Gambi from Ravenna, Italy. Last year Gambi made a splen-' did showing, leading the way for seven miles, when he was seized with cramps and had to be taken out of the water. This year Gambi has built himself up and at the present time is stronger and in better condition than last year to go the long route. We wish him luck, we wish him success. May his ef- forts be rewarded with Victory. Notes & Comments Dr. Frank Cosentino, who made,a splendid reputation in his post graduate work at St. Michael's Hospital, is leaving next week for London, England, where he will continue his post graduate work in one of the le... ading hospitals in England. We wish Bro. Dr. Cosentino every success in his future endeavors. Nicola Cosentino, the well- known tenor, is paying his fa- mily a flying visit. He is book- ed up with many concert and radio engagements, so much so that he is unable to spend more than two days in Toronto. He is one of the featured artists on the National Broadcasting programme every Sunday more ning at 11 API. . _.,' v, ti) (,.', Bro. Joseph j Ctrittani, is tlite: busiest manin town these days.

He is travelling from place to place in the wilds of the north country, so that no one can really tell where he is. Meanwhile his c. P. R. softball team is playing in the Interme- diate City finals and it is to be hoped that they are successful. Joe De Vita, former Italian idol, and a clever exponent of the headlock, will undergo an acid test in his comeback cam- paign when he encounters Jud- son in the second finish match. De Vita has now regained much of his old form after a lengthy illness and is ready to take on all comers. For next Thursday night Pro- moter Ivan Mickailoff has ar- ranged a double main bout which will feature such capable wrestler as Bibber McCoy, Joe De Vita and Frank Judson. The first main event will bring together Bibber McCoy, former Holy Cross football star, and Geo. Saunders. During his car- eer on the mat, McCoy has wrestled to a one-hour draw with "Strangler" Lewis and Joe Stetcher, and has won two straight falls from Pat O'Sho- cker. McCoy is one of the giants of the ring, standing five feet 111/2 inches and weighing about 225 lbs. He is one of the most vicious men on the mat to-day, bar none. He puts everything in his lunges and plunges and when he hits, something has to move or break and it usually breaks. Saunders is a newcomer to Toronto but he comes here with a good reputation as a good wrestler and he should make the going interesting. Judson is an experienced wre- stler with no little ability and De Vita will have to be good to w1n. MCCOY and JUDSON TO APPEAR IN DOUBLE MAIN BOUT CARD On Sunday, August 28th, at 3 o'clock, there will be a meet- ing; of the Children of Mary Sodality at Mount Carmel Chur- ch.

Two high class preliminaries will complete this card. SODALITY MEETING Joe De Vito You talk about pretty girls! The writer, who is an experien- ced old campaigner, has had the pleasure of seeing pretty girls, but he has never had the privi- lege of seeing so many at one gathering. The party, which was tastily arranged, was given by the honored boy's sister, A- nita and his Aunt and Uncle, Mr. and Mrs. DiSantis. They were certainly very charming hosts. The evening was spent in dancing and sing songs. The writer was certainly disappoin- ted that they did not play post- man, forfeits etc. And with so many pretty girls too! During the evening speeches were de- livered, first by Frankie, who in a few well chosen words, thanked all present for the hon- ored conferred upon him by at- tending the party and by Geor- ge Sansone, who in a fitting manner, thanked Mr. and Mrs. DiSantis for their hospitality. MT. PLEASANT BUSINESS MENS ASSOCIATION "WARM UP" MEETING BEFORE PARADE Bro. Joe Piccininni of the Mo- unt Pleasant Business Men's Association was host to several of the officers of that associati- on. There were also several out- side guests present, amongst whom were noted, J . Maroni, W. Sansone, Maggie Altavista of the Big" Eight, Joseph Grittani John Oliverio, George Sansone, Frankie Genovese, Bob Polito, and the honoured guest of the Another Monday-kind of a blue one. Just returned from saying Adios to a heartbroken kid. Frank certainly was blue. He felt as though the trip was in vain just because he didn't win. But let me tell you here and now that in my estimation the kid should command just as much admiration in defeat. The first night he fought I was for- tunate enough in obtaining an official pass which allowed me access to anywhere. I gave the kid a pep talk and sat right back of his corner throughout the fight. Dear Brother :4 Things were going against him in the second round and the Argentine nearly dropped him. He kept looking down at me and I tried to pep him up. In the third round he went out and literally swept his opponent off his feet. I think I fought every blow of that round with the kid. As a matter of fact I was nearly thrown out. Every- time the kid looked down, I sho.. uted "straighten out that left kid, come up with the right". The Argentine was lowering his head and weaving. I could see it from the ringside and tried to pass the dope on to Frank. The kid won. Boy, you should have seen him after the fight! He had defeated the hardest hitter of the division. He got a tough break when he drew the European Champion in his see- ond fight. This chap from Ita- ly had strength and experience. The kid outboxed in the first To say that it was a surprise is putting it mildly. The poor young fellow was so flabbergas- ted that he thought that he was in a ring after receiving a knockout blow. However, he quickly recovered, just as he did down in Los Angeles when he was floored by the Argenti- ne Vargas, and was soon busy making everyone welcome. - FRANKIE GENOVESE GIVEN SURPRISE PARTY Last Friday night a large group of young people gathered in the home of Andy Di Santis at 454 Shaw Street, the occasi- on being a surprise party in ho- nor of Frankie Genovese, who represented Canada at the Ol.. ympics. _ Praises Genovese's Work Long Beach, Calif.

POPULAR YOUNG ITALIAN GIRL BURIED On Sunday August 21st, one of our most popular young ladi- es, Theresa Luccione, met her death in an automobile accident near Collingwood. The funeral, which took place from the resi- dence of her mother at 80 Elm St. on Wednesday morning, was largely attended by young and old. Hundreds of people gather- ed_in Mount Carmel Church to pay their last respects to the late "Teddy" as she was affee. tionately known amongst her vast and varied acquaintances. Rev. Father Auad conducted the funeral services both in the Church and at the graveside. We offer our heartfelt sym- pathies to the mother in her bereavement and trust that the Good Lord will give her stren- gth to bear her burden. round, had a shade in the sec- ond, but withered in the third to lose a close and rather un- popular decision. I wasn't able to be in his corner for the see- ond fight. However, I was in the gallery looking on. I tried to cheer the kid up after the fight, but it was useless. He was all broken up. I had many things planned for him but he didn't show up. I tried to get in touch with him on Sunday and I finally heard from him after I had gone to bed. He told me that he was leaving in the mor- ning (this morning) and that he could not get an extension on his ticket. It just burns me up when I think of. it. The officials just handed the kids $25.00 and left them to shift for themsel- ves and get home as best they could. I wanted the kid to stay ivith me for a few days so that I could take him to a few worth while places, something he co- uld remember in the years to come. I am awfully sorry thin- gs worked out as they did be- cause I was very anxious to see the kid enjoy his trip . When he arrives home, I hope that you folks will be on hand to greet him just the same as if he were champion. He is a won- derful boy, he did his best, but his best wasn't quite good eno- ugh with the older men he had to meet. He went down BUT Another feature of the even- ing was the rendition of that popular waltz, 'Tm the Man Who Wrote the Merry Widow Waltz" by Mr. George Middle- ton on his big musical German stien. Another incident occur- red when Maggie Altavista fi- nally captured the elusive Mr. "White Seal" towards the end of the game and finally knocked him out. WITH HIS COLORS FLYING. To me he will always be the champion and I am proud to ha- ve played "uncle" to him. Kindest regards to all, Your brother, . Johnny. evening, Mr. "White Seal", whg was jntro4uce4 by Mr. FeiYigir." After the business men had finished their discussions, a dainty luncheon was served by Mrs. Piccininni. Mr. "White Se- al", who evidently is a very smooth gent, soon had the ton- gues of the guests wagging in great style. He caused more discussions in two hours than Gen. Draper would at a Commu- nist meeting. He caused the Johns and Josephs to be pitted in a heated confab againsts the Georges, Bills, etc., during the murro game, so much so that he was acclaimed as the guiding "Spirit", the pepper-pot of the evening.
