There were some unex- pected problems. A few days before the Open he saw a fleet of trucks invading the course. "I thought it was the 15th Panzer division," he says, for the better part of championship distance and the fairways were narrowed to 50 yards from 100. Tournament chairman Jack Randall began his work 10 months before the Open and Dick Mitchell, course superin- tendent, started preparing the layout about the same time. "We narrowed the fairways, put in ridges, made some - greens smaller, some larger, and cleared brush and wood where we figured the specta- able to laugh about it now. It was the CBC mobile cam- era crews and B.C, Telephone units. ' "They carved a road right across the first fairway to get to their control headquarters on the practice fairway." That was the start of the course damage. "Then came the spectators ~--Arnie's Army. They tram- pled the grass to mud around many of the trees and greens.

The ticket sales committee headed by Oliver Anderson knew there would be a good turnout. A month before open- ing day it had sold $75,000. The final sale was $116,000. "We made some money on it," Anderson says, '"*but we didn't do it for the money. We did it as a duty and for the betterment of golf." Anderson says some mem- bers complained when they learned the Open was to be played on their course but most "were on our side by the time the tournament rolled around." It took 600. persons to han- die the tournament -- ticket sellers, parking attendants, marshals, caddies, one score recorder for each competitor, drivers for a fleet of cars to transport golfers and special- social committees to enter- tain players' wives. It was the first Open in Vancouver since 1954 and Randall says Shaughnessy was determined to show the doubters that it could handle it. His 29-man committee in- cluded some of Vancouver's most influential businessmen. Mitchell still sees torn patches and damage when he makes his daily rounds and he knows well what will happen to Montreal's Municipal Course when the 1967 Open is held there the last week in June. APPLE DUNKING PART OF SHOW Bill Cruwys is taking part in the apple dunking event at the North Oshawa Horse- men Club show Sunday. The show was the first of eight to be put on this year, and included such events as "Pole Bending', 'Barrel Race" and 'Patch Race". Overall point winner of the day was Jim Strachan, who picked up four firsts and four second place finishes. --Photo by Charles Newell Canadian Lightweight Fought Great Ones By JOHN SOOSAR HALIFAX (CP) -- Slumped over a worn scrapbook, he glanced briefly at the yello clippings and recalled when he aspired to the lightweight boxing championship of the world. Seated in the cozy living try locations to elude police. "If you were a_ prize fighter you were put down as "a murderer right away." WON CANADIAN TITLE In 1898 boxing gloves came into prominence and the bare knuckle era was over. Latham i Arm. Says that boxers who had "a oe Fate gy eel trained themselves to fight pointed to a news item which With their hands uncovered testified to his 1905 six-round found it awkward to fight with gloves. draw with then world light- weight champion, "Terrible" Terry McGovern, in Detroit's Whitney Theatre and said: 'T knocked him down twice but they called it a draw." Leafing through the scrap- book the names appear fa- miliar; John L. Sullivan, Abe Attell, Battling Nelson, Ad Wolgast, Gentleman Jim Cor- bett, Jimmy Britt, Johnny Kil- bane, George Dixon, Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries. "T knew them all and fought some," says Latham whose career encompassed 30 odd years and included the light- weight championship of Can- ada and Michigan. Now 86, with bushy white hair and a forthright manner unusual in men his age, Lath- am's cauliflower ear and faint scar tissue around the eyes attest to. the days when he fought all comers with bare knuckles and later with gloves and lost but four. A native of Halifax, son of a seaman, he moved to Flor- ence, Ont., as a youngster and worked as a farmhand through his teens. He acquired a reputation as a fist fighter after knocking out a local tough when he substituted for another youth too timid to appear. "They thought I was just old enough and spunky enough to have a go," he says, re- calling that they fought in a field near Oil City, Ont., on a Sunday morning when "'every- one was in church." Other fights followed and word of .Latham's successes spread until he succumbed to a long latent dream of fight- ing as a career. His family moved to Port Huron, Mich., and Latham, still in his teens, began fight- ing in the Detroit area under 'the tutelage of James Bloom, a local heavyweight. He recounts facts and names of numerous "bootleg"' fights in Toledo and Cleve- land, Ohio, Buffalo, N.Y.,.De- troit and throughout Ontario.

'"'As far as I know I never lost the Cana- dian title." Latham returned to the United States aiming to con- quer the American titlist. He met the best fighters of the day both in and out of the ring. He served as a sparring partner for some and boxed exhibitions with men like Tommy Burns, later to be- come Canada's only world heavyweight champion, Ad Wolgast and Bat Nelson, both world lightweight champions at various times. In 1891 Australia's Bob Fitz- - simmons won the world's mid- dieweight championship by knocking out Jack Dempsey, "The Nonpareil," in 13-rounds in New Orleans. Fitzsimmons was inactive as a middle- weight and finally resigned in 1896. Between 1897 and 1907 there were several claimants to the middleweight crown. ACCUSED REFEREE "Sycamore Cyclone" Johnny Thompson, one of the uncrowned champions, met Latham at Joliet, Ill., on Aug. 10, 1910. Latham lost the de- cision in a close fight. The referee's decision almost per- petrated a riot in the arena and Latham landed in jail for charging the referee with "robbery." He won the Michigan light- weight title from Billy John- son in a_ blistering eight rounds in Saginaw, Mich. A summary of the fight says "Johnson did not land 10 clean blows during the whole eight rounds." When Albert Wilkowski, a Chicago lightweight, died fol- lowing a bruising battle with Latham, the Canadian fighter, his manager and corner men were jailed. Latham and his entourage were released later but he ad- mits that Wilkowski's death "almost broke my heart." He continued to campaign in the United States while also working as a detective for a private agency and a seaman on the Great Lakes. SPORT LESS CROOKED He returned to Halifax shortly before the outbreak of the First World War and in- structed in a school for box- ers known as. the Academy of Boxing and Physical Culture. A calling card bearing the name of the school refers to the instructor as Professor Latham. | He served overseas with the 85th Battalion and boxed ex- hibitions with fellow service- men: Returning to Halifax in 1918 he worked as an interior dec- orator and, in later years, on the Halifax waterfront. At the age of 52 he returned to the ring to answer a chal- lenge from Arthur Mathews of Halifax. Latham won by a knockout in the first round. Today he*has lost touch with the boxing world but in- sists that "the game today is not as crooked as it used to be." } Of current heavyweight | champion Cassius Clay, Latham says "he's good" and then points to a picture of for- | mer heavyweight king James | J. Jeffries in fighting stance | and adds "'but there was one of the greatest." gg ae er Pa MOFFAT Infinite heat switches, spill- proof cooking surface for easy cleaning, appliance out- let, variable broil control, automatic high-speed oven RANGES prehest, removable oven door, porcelain enamel fin- ish, MODEL 24M20 129 MODEL 24M25 White $135.
