The Garrison League is compris- ed of teams from RCAF Station Crumlin, RCAF Station Centralia, Navy Prevost London and RCAF Station. Clinton. is at once obvious that, the Flight Simulator plays a very significant part in the economics of pilot training. The estimated operating cost of the Sabre Flight Simulator, before depreciation, is a fraction of, that required for the actual aircraft.' Their use also means that less aircraft time is needed for train- ing and consequently fewer air- craft. It must also be remember- ed that a "crash" in the Simulator causes no harm. From another aspect the use of Flight Simulators means that pilots ban be put through conver- sion courses for a new type of air- craft before it is delivered to a squadron—a potent argument for the supply of Flight Simulators for particular aircraft types, be- fore the aircraft themselves come into service. There can be no doubt that the training. time factor—always -sig- nificant—can be reduced very con- siderably indeed. RCAF Personals Mi's, G.

But on February 14, 1918, a Dempsey who had fouhd himself and was whirling upward took ample revenge. He dropped his erstwhile conqueror, also with a single punch, in a match that was scheduled for ten rounds, but went only a small fraction of one. "I wasn't muck mere than a midtlleweighb the first time I boxed Fireman Flynn", Dempsey told me years later. "I. , was 22 years old. ' (Dempsey was born June 24, 1895), I didn't know much about boxing, really, I started fighting in 1915, won some fights under the name of Kid Blackie, some more under my own name. But I was just a journeyman fighter, not too much interested in the trade. And when I was knocked out by Flynn, a powerful fellow and a cagey fighter who knew - much too much for me, I was just on the verge of quitting the ring game entirely. "Then Jack Kearns came along. Under Kearns I learned how to fight, how to box a little; how to use a left hand. Then I began to really fight. I found a style, a bob -and -weave type of fighting that was something different. I scored a lot of knockouts; lost a decision to Willie Meehan, but I was on my way, taking on bigger and better foes." The fact is that the miraculous Dempsey fought for four years before he finally began to- look like somebody of im- portance. In his ,n early days he had some terrific fights with specimens like the burly Negro John Lester Johnson, Battling Jim Johnson, Andre Anderson, Wild Bert Kenney, Andy Malloy and many other tough foes. Some of his battles lasted 20 rounds. His later battles are stili remembered as epics, the mad assault on the giant Jess Willard, the furious melee with Luis Angel Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas, and those ttwo fights with Gene Tunney in which Dempsey made more friends indefeat than he ever had in victory. That's the fantastic Dempsey story, one of the great legends of sport in bur times, a. legend we recall, because this is the anniversary of the week when he was on the verge of giving up thegamein which lie became an unforgettable figure.
