Calvet( SPORTS COLUMN
• Nostalgic veteruns of the sports world,
which is well populated with such folk,
frequently lament that in no sport do
the moderns equal those of another era,
for physical ruggedness, durability, and
such indestructible qualities.
The modern streamlined hockey with
its fast player -changes is frequently made a ease to prove the
point, and the absence of the old 00 -minute player is mourned
In floods of pathos. The platoon system of football is criticized•
as producing a breed of specialists, Even the horses, moan
these relies of another sports age, don't run es fast as
formerly.
But most of all, these .Polk point to modern boxing, with
its limited rounds, as a sport that has grown soft. They lament
the days of fights -to -the -finish, of ferocity, violence, when
contestants showed a stamina and the ability to withstand
punishment. And if that is true, were very glad indeed that
things have changed.
After Battling Nelson, the shell of a einee-great athlete
with the durability traditional of those rugged clays of sport,
died in complete poverty, we dug into some ancient files to
refresh our memory on some of the Durable Dane's major
battles, particuarly his long and vicious figh' with Ad. Wolgast
for the lightweight crown which Nelson then held,
And in our search we came across a newspaper account
of the fight, which reported that it was "one of the most
gruesome, merciless, heart -throbbing, vicious battles of all
time and although Wolgast won he would never be himself
again,"
Nelson, so the story said, proved a punching bag for
the young German from Cadillac, Mich, "Nelson took a merci-
less pounding and after the fight his body and face showed he
had undergone a terrible ordeal." Nelson was declared loser
by knockout in the 40th round. He was still on his feet, but
blinded by his own blood, streaming down his face.
And truly enough, as the writer forecast, Wolgast was
never quite the same afterwards. He is now spending his
declining days in an insane asylum, living in the hazy
memories of his great days, and training for the "fight of
tomorrow" that his punch -wrecked brain envisions.
That was a fight, so we take it, typical of the era for
which nostalgic fistio veterans sometimes mourn. Doubtless
there were athletes of great courage in those days, but not
more so than today, in the fights of limited rounds, where
the accent is on skill and speed, if less on the durability.

Jack Johanson
Wanted No Part
Of Sam
Many an oldtimer will tell you
that Jack Johnson, first Negro
heavyweight champion of the
world, was the cleverest of the
champions. "Li'l Artha," as he
was known, beat them all in his
day. All, that is, except one, a
stocky little man feared through-
out fistiana as the famed "Boston
Tar Baby," Sam Langford. Lang-
ford, also a Negro, roamed the
highways and byways, meeting
and beating the best men he
could lure into the ring with
e , him. But he never could get
Johnson to agree to a title match.
Some people called Sam the un-
crowned heavyweight champion
of the world. Proud little Lang-
ford wanted no empty honors.
He yearned, instead, for a chance
to win the crown in honest com-
bat. He chased the champion up
and down the land, hurling chal-
lenge after challenge, but to no
avail. "Li'l Artha" wanted no
part of him, simply refusing to
make the match. As a matter of
fact, champion Jack Johnson nev-
er even met Sam Langford face
to face — until one night in a
Boston tavern frequented by the
sporting gentry.
Champion Jack Johnson was
standing at the bar surrounded
by his admirers when Sam Lang-
ford came in and spotted him.
The "Boston Tar Baby" waddled
over to the bar. 'Hello, John-
son," he drawled. "I've been
wanting to see you for a long,
long time. I've got something I'd
like to ask you."
The excited and happy chat-
ter of that packed saloon sudden-
ly died away into silence. The
men at the bar slowly edged
away into silence. The mem at
the bar slowly edged away leav-
ing Johnson and Langford to-
gether.
"I've been chasing you a long
time," went on Langord, "You've
been ducking nue right along.
When are you going to fight me?"
Jack Jackson, who feared no
one, looked down at the little
man. "I'm not bothering to
fight you, Sam," he said. "There
ain't nothing in it for me."
With that, Johnson picked up
his stick and gloves and started
for the door. Bulky little Sam
Langford planted himself direct-
ly in the big man's path. "I'm
not looking for any money out
Of this," he said quietly. "I just'
know I can lick you, that's all,
and I want everybody in this
room to hear me tell you so to
your face. I've got a thousand
dollars in my pocket. I'm going
to leave it right here on the bar.
You and I will go down to the
cellar and have it out, once and
for all. Whoever comes up first
takes the money. in fact, you can.
have the thousand even if I beat
you, You got to give nie a crack
at your title!"
Jack Johnson grinned his gold-
en smile and began to pull on his
gloves. "Look, Sam," he said, "I
got a new suit on and a new hat
and silk shirt, I don't aim to mess
them up. Besides, I don't need
a thousand dollars. Out of my
way, man, I'm leaving."
With that flip remark, Jack
Johnson made for the door. Sam
Langford turned to watch him
leave. "Johnsons" he shouted af-
ter the departing champion of the
world "You're scared of me,
that's what( I want everybody
to hear that, You're scared to
fight mei"
Publicly humiliated as he was
that night, Jack Johnson never
did meet little Sam Langford in
the ring for the title. To this day,
many still argue that the "Boston
Tar Baby" would have become
heavyweight champion of the
world if given the chance. Un-
fortunately for him, the closest
he ever came to the title was in
a Boston tavern trying to start a
fight that never was fought.

.. PLAIN HORSE SENSE ,'e
By BOB Ea LIS
Marketing in Britain.
Under the British "Agricul-
tural Marketing Act, 1931," "a
scheme regulating the market-
ing of an agricultural product
may be _.submitted by any per-
sons who satisfy the Minister
that they are substantially repre-
sentative of the persons who pro-
duce that product in the area to
which the scheme is applicable."
Such application and the pro-
posed scheme is then published
and objections and representa-
tions can be made in writing to
the Minister.
If the scheme is approved, the
producers concerned have to
register and a poll is taken to
determine whether the scheme
shall remain in force.
If two-thirds of the registered
producers actually voting on the
pool are in favour, the scheme
is instituted. Provision is also
made that the producers favour-
ing the scheme must be capable
of producing not less than two-
thirds of the regulated product.
Amendment 1949
The act was amended in 1933,
but is substantially the same.
It was again amended in 1949,
particularly'. in the provisions
concerning the composition of
marketing boards set up under
any such scheme.
The act provides that "the to-
tal number of members shall not
be less than eight nor, unless
for special reasons the Minister
thinks fit to allow a greater num-
ber, more than twenty-four,"
These members are to be elec-
ted by registered producers or
bodies elected by such producers.
The control of the marketing
of the regulated product there-
fore is in the hands of the pro-
ducers.
To protect the public interest,
the tirade and consumers, non -
producers are also on these
boards. But they are in a min-
ority and the Act says that "not
more than one-fifth of the total
number of members shall be
persons appointed by the Min-
ister as being persons who in his
opinion are qualified for appoint-
ment ashaving had experience
and shown capacity in commerce,
finance, administration, public
affairs or the organization of
workers, or as being specially
conversant with the interests of
consumers of the regulated pro-
duct."
Powers of the Minister.
To prevent any abuse of its
powers by any board, the Min-
ister may give by order direc-
tions, if e.g. the board would try
to limit production or the num-
ber of producer's.
Such orders, however, are
subject to the recommendations
Of a committee of investigation,
if the board so requests, and the
Minister shall not make any or-
der until he has considered the
report of the committee.
Milk Marketing Board,
' A number of marketing boards
have been established 'under this
Act, among them a Milk Market-
ing Board,
This Board consists Of 15 mem-
bers freely elected by the pro-
ducers and two members co-
opted by the board with the ap-
proval of the minister.
The Board has general powers
to regulate the marketing of
milk, but it also has the follow-
ing powers:
(1.) to buy milk;
(2.) to produce_ from milk
any of the following commodi-
ties: cream$ butter, buttermilk,
cultured milk, evaporated and
semi - evaporated buttermilk or
cultured milk, milk sugar (lac-
tose), cheese, whey prepardtions,
milk powder, condensed whole
or separated milk, casein, ice
cream;
(3) sell, grade, pack, store,
adapt for sale, insure advertise
and transport milk or commodi-
ties produced therefrom by the
Board.
The Board can deal in sup-
plies, it can co-operate with any
other person, it can do educa-
tional and research work and
promote co-operation.
In other words it can do al
those things that in Ontario are
done by four government ap-
pointed boards under a govern-
ment appointed dairy -commissar.
An agricultural expert received
an inquiry from an amateur
poultry -keeper, who asked: "How
long should a fowl be allowed to
sit on its eggs?"
The expert replied: "Three
weeks for chickens; folu' weeks
for ducks."
A month went by, and the
poultry -keeper sent another let-
ter: "I let the hen sit on the eggs
for three weeks," he said, "and no
chickens came. I didn't want
ducks, so I took her off the nest
and sold the eggs." ,
"My wife is a remarkable
cook," said Brownson. "She's al-
ways trying out some new recipe.
Yesterday she met a friend who
had lived in the East and gave
her a recipe for Chinese trifle.
So she made it,"
"And what did it taste like?"
asked a friend.
"Rice pudding."
