Before the main bout it was an- nounced that the Ontario Athletic Oom- mignon had reduced the time limit en main bouts to one hour, and that this would be in force for the Szabo -Mac- Dougall tilt. Akhough the undefeated Hungarian is very popular here, a lot of the crowd was rooting for old Scotty, the pride of Goderich. MacDougall had the better of the early tussling, and had Szabo tanning into near -falls twice in the first seven minutes while they battled speedily but cleanly.

'Tribute to Sir Henry Thornton The amides death of Sir Henry Thornton at New York on Tuesday afternoon was deeply regretted In tit. lobbies here and Mr. Mackenzie King paid a well-deserved tribute to Sir /leery for his great work as C.N.R. pre.Tden� Troth 1922 to 1932. "What Sir Henry achieved in the period of his administration of the National Railways, Mr. King observed, "may be obscured for the time being by the existing depression and by politleal controversy to which it has served to give rise. As, however, the years ko by, and all things fall Into their true perspective, Sir Henry Thornton's work In bringing the National Rail- ways to the position which they at- tained tinder his direction will stand out as a supreme achievement in na- Donal enterprise and public service."
