• (his is the third And last of a series of
columns whir/t have, perhaps sketchily], and
with omissions, dealt with sport as Canada
enjoyed it at C oiofcderatian in 1817, and
before.
Perhaps you were surprised when, earlier
in this series we remarked that on Canadian
soil in pre -Confederation days, there had been fought two or three
world heavyweight championship fights.
But ralords prove it. They are not the exact records that have
'prevailed the last fifty or sixty years but still records. And here
is the story.
Flaming Ben" Hogan, a picturesque figure, who was a Civil
Warspy, gambler awl oil magnate, claimed the heavyweight fistic
title, just about 1867, and fought Bob Donnelly for it at Fort
Erie, Ontario.
Morrissey had fought John C. Heenan, "The Benica Boy" for
the world title at Long Point, in Canada. John J. Dwyer fought
Jim Elliot at tate sante Long Point in the 70's, in another fight for
the heavyweight title both claimed. So even with this sketchy
'background, you can be sure that some boxing existed in Canada
before Confederation.
Golf was introduced to Canada in the 60's by officers of ships
from the OW Country, who played in Montreal and Quebec on
3 -hole courses, and in 1873, six years after Confederation, a group
of the original players met in Montreal, and created the Montreal
Golf Cite', since re -named Royal Montreal.
There are no records to prove it, but undoubtedly there was
harness racing, for that sport dates back in America to 1770, and
the great Flora Temple was history when Confederation took
place.
Of course Canada had great winter sports programs, away
back beyond, and through Confederation.
There were skating races in the winter, dating as far back as
1859, when officers of the Montreal Garrison raced to Quebec, a
tidy run.
The first covered rink built in Canada, according to such re-
cords as are available was built in the Ancient Capital, hilly Quebec
city in the middle 1850's, Montreal followed dilatorily in 18.59, and
in the sante year organized the Montreal Skating Club, In 1862,
there was built in Montreal, in what is now the heart of the
Canadian metropolis the Victoria rink, where gala fancy dress
balls and carnivals were held. This rink holds hockey history, too,
for here the first Stanley Cup games of all tunes were played, in
the dowdy nineties,
And there was football, whether English Rugby or soccer,
we couldn't say. But the Montreal Football Club was formed in
11368, a year after Confederation. There was tobogganing, too, and
snow -shoeing, with the Montreal Snowshoe Club formed in 1840.
And there would be many paddling contests then, certainly not the
great regattas of today, but the canoe was then a useful form
of conveyance, and tests of speed would be a natural outcome.
So young Canada, in 1867, had plenty of sport, plenty of fun,
sport in its truest amateur.sense, mostly, and young Canada lived
a pretty good life without radios, automobiles, bicycles, and a lot
of the things which are regarded as essential in 'these more high-
pressure times. It must have been a good life then, with no threat
of A-bombs or H-bombs, no Communists, and none of a lot of
things we could very well do without. . ,

Waltz Me Around Again—While Chico Carrasquel of the White
Sox rests safely on second base at Yankee Stadium in New York,
Yankee shortstop Phil Rizzuto and second baseman Billy Martin,
right, take after a sizzling grounder hit by AI Zarllla, It went
by the "square dancing" Yankee keystone combo for a single,
but the Yanks won the garne, 6-4,
If things keep up the way they've
been going, you can look for major
league baseball to establish an all-
time record this season, Not for
hone runs, perfect games, biggest
attendances or anything like that,
but for the number of managers
fired,
* e *
With the season hardly more
than half completed the count
stands at four of the Brain Boys
who have been handed their walk-
ing tickets—a percentage, if we
haven't forgotten how to figure
such things, of .250. No wonder
that Stomach "Ulstere" as they call
them in Flatbusll, are an occupa-
tional disease with baseball pilots.
* *
Tommy .Holmes of the Boston
Braves was the first to feel the
axe—insybe Tommy saw that we
had picked those sante ]Braves to
win the National League pennant
and was glad to go — being re-
placed by Charlie Grimm, who
doesn't seem to be doing much bet-
ter than his predecessor.
0 * e
Then Rogers I-Iornsby—faced
with the task of making something
out of nothing --started talking to
his St. Louis Browne as though
they were old-time ball -players in-
stead of modern pampered athletes,
and the players, naturally, resented
it. So The Rajah had to walk the
plank, Marty Marion being the man
to sit in fpr him, which was a
break for Marty, although just
what kind of a break we couldn't
say.
* * 5
Eddie Sawyer ,the "Miracle Man"
of a couple of years back, discov-
ered --as many have before him—
that miracles are like lightning,
seldom picking the same spot twice.
Stout Steve O'Neill drew the short
straw in this case; and the best
you can say for Steve's plight is
that he is too well stacked to have
many exposed nerve -ends.
* * *
And now Red Rolfe. Just two
years ago thebaseball man's Bible
—The Sporting News—was hailing
Red as the "manager of the year."
That was the season when the De-'
troit Tigers led for most of the
way, only to lose to the Yankees
by a margin of three games. Tigers
finished fifth last year. They've
never yet finished in the cellar—
but if they don't do so in 1952 it
will be a minor triumph for Fred-
die Hutchinson, selected as Red
Rolfes replacement, probably by
cutting cards or drawing names out
of a bat.
k * *
Yes, neighbors, it's a tough life
managing ball teams especially
when the men who put up the
dough never seem to realize that,
with eight learns in a league, they
can't all win pennants. What we
are waiting for now is to see some
of these Front Office Geniuses—
when in need of an alibi—fire them-
selves instead of ,the manager. We
only wish we thought we could
live that long; for that will be the
day
* *'
Our personal interest in fish is
pretty much limited to seeing them
on a platter, maybe with a little

Which is by no -leans to be
considered as a knock at fishing as
a wonderful sport—for thein as
likes it; and a recent article by the
eminent authority Bob Turnbull
struck us as containing so much
good sense that we are just going
to borrow it. If you've already read
it—well, it will stand perusal a
second time. So, with . bow to
Ilfr. Turnbull for the assist, here
it is.

Well wager that the amount of
fish allowed to spoil before, or,
during, transport home must go
into the thousands of pounds an-
nually. This, of course, is sheer
waste—is a legal offence, to be
strictly accurate. Yet there is no
great trick in carrying fish even
in the hottest weather. Ice, plenty
of it, is the answer. These new
portable ice boxes are just the
thing, but if you haven't got one
(I haven't) a butter pox is ideal.
* :k
Put a layer of sawdust on the
bottom of the box, then crushed
ice, then fish, more ice, more saw-
dust, more ice, another layer of fish,
then ice, sawdust. Repeat this until
the box is full. Don't skimp on
the ice. Top off with sawdust and
for a lid use a chunk of old car-
pet, something I've found Exceed-
ingly gond for the purpose, If no
carpet, then use some heavy can-
vas or several layers of newspapers
or heavy cardboard. Even on the
most sweltering day this will carry
your fish for several hours, long
enough to get from, say, the Parry
Sound area to Toronto. Be care-
ful to place the fish box some-
where that the melting ice won't
slosh 'over the rest of your lug-
gage, although it's surprising how
little it does melt on an average
trip. * *
If you're, on a vacation don't
save the fish you catch on the
•early days to bring hone. Days in
an ice box don't make 'em worth
a darn. Just keep those you get
the day before ret•Irning home. If
ice is unavailable wrap the fish
in several layers of wet newspaper
and get ice at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
Clean fish before giving them to
neighbors. Sure, it's nice to he
big-hearted, but if the fish land
uncooked in the garbage can you've
done a great disservice to conser-
vation. The fishing pressure is
tough enough without thoughtless
waste adding to the strain. Eat
what you catch or don't Keep 'em,
