U.S. Imports Gost Almost Prohibitive Says Bomber Prexy Winnipeg, Nov. 3--(CP) -- After four years as head of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, retiring President Arthur Nniac Chipman has come to the conclusion football is becoming too costly. Stressing the need to develop home talent, he said that the Bombers had -to be subsidized "Substantially" this season even though "We had wonderful attend- ance at our seven home games." This was due partly to the big sal- aries paid American imports. "We should quit trying to live up to the Joneses," he said. "Winnipeg, with a population one-third the size, can't keep pace with Toronto and Montreal. The sooner we re- alize it the better it will be for all associated with football in the West." Apart from suggesting that West« ern teams forget about American imports, with a resultant heavier concentration of home brews, Chipman also recommended that the home talent share in a player pool at the end of the season rath. er than get salaries. Chipman thought that hiring of a "High-class coach -- and I really mean high class" would put Winni- peg in a position where players could be developed locally and it would be possible to compete on even terms with the East in two or three seasons, "If we, Regina and Calgary all returned to home-brew talent, Ed- In the event of fire at the Arlington Farms at Libertyville, Ill, there would be no stampeding terror among the horses as .is usually the case in stable fires.

Jack The Middle-Weight Although there were numbers of claimant of the middle-weight title dating from the bare-knuckle days under London Prize Ring Rules, it seemed the boys were concerned | with the mode of scraping with gloves, under the Marquis of Queensbury rules, and, we are re- minded from history, therefore started with original Jack Dempsey, "The Nonpareil". , History has it that in 1884 Jack Dempsey, then little more than a welter-weight, challenged George Fulljanes, who had claimed the middle-weight crown. This battle was' fought with heavy driving gloves, and, it will be noted this occurred in Toronto, on July 30. Jack was returned the winner after 22 rounds of bitter battling and the Brooklyn Irishman was generally accepted as the title-holder as his record was clear. Dempsey held this title until 1891, and during that time took part in many hard contests. Chief among these were the two fights with George LaBlanche the Marine. In 1886, Dempsey beat the Marine quite badly and scored a knockout in 13 rounds. The pair again met three years later in San Francisco, and just when it seemed that Dempsey was about to score a knockout in the 32nd round, The Marine pulled the famous "pivot blow", a full swing and return with the elbow striking the face, and Dempsey's nose was broken by the illegal blow and the champion was counted out. LaBlanche The Marine was not recognized on this account and Dempsey went along until Jan. 14, 1891, when he was knocked out by Bob Fitzimmons, who had newly ar- rived from Australia, in the 13th round. The scrap took place in New Orleans, La.

Tony was a mere boy in his first fight, substituted for a lad named Herrera. Tony won the contest, liked the name and kept using it. Tony was the smallest kid among those he played with at El Paso and the town was full of bullies in his youth. Had to fight his way from one block to another, could hardly remember the day or evening that he did not have to put-up his hands in self- defense. Later he became a past master at the art. Because he was one of the most polished boxers in the game during his time, he was given the name of "Brown Symphony in Leather".
