Russia made such a withdrawal quite inconceivable, by the simple process of defeating the Canadian team, in one of the great sports upsets of all time. For this was Russia's first entry into these cham- pionships, the quality of the Soviets was held in light esteem, and so the defeat was all the more stunning, all the more calculated to provide Moscow's propaganda machine with rich material for sounding the glory of the Soviet athletes. Under these circumstances, suffering from one of the most humiliating defeats inflicted upon its forces in the game at which these Dominions in reality rule the world, Canada cannot possibly retire until a day of reckoning has extinguished the fires of arrogant bluster which this triumph is certain to set alight in the Soviet press. For retirement at this point would be rated as sheer defeatism, and indeed it would be very difficult, practically impossible, to convince other European nations" that Canada's supremacy in its greatest sport had not been taken over by Russia. And, what is much more, important from the stand- point of national pride, it might be even more difficult to convince the world that Canada had huffily taken the childish, Unsportsmanlike attitude: "If we can't win, we won't play." It has been said that, in view of the public's unfavourable attitude towards the club, Canada should quit this synthetic world series; synthetic, that is, in its title qualities, though definitely real in the number of competing nations, Quit? That's not in Canada's sports lexicon. We've never been quitters nor cry-babies in any competitive sport. And if Canada quits now, in defeat, those are the stigmas that will be hung upon us, nationally. What champion doesn't get an unfavourable reception when he invades foreign soil? Did those advocating Canada's withdrawal ever hear the Detroit Red Wings cheered in, say, Toronto or Gordie Howe applauded when he invades the domain of his rival, Rocket Richard? The jeers, in such cases, and in Canada's overseas -hockey case too, are real tributes to greatness. Anyone can get cheers at home. Jack Dempsey was one of the most unpopular figures in ringdom while he was champion. Thousands rooted regu- larly for his defeat. Dempsey went out fighting, and so 'turned mob dislike to fanatic hero-worship. Canada can do the same. If we're going to retire, let's do so as champions, not in the face of defeat, inflicted by an under -rated opponent. Your comments and suggestions for this column win be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, .431 Yonge St., Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO Dress Fabrics To "Dress" Bedrooms It is a 'wise textile designer who recognizes his own fabrics this season. In New York, fur- niture upholstery material; are going into women's suits. And in Toronto, spring coats made from automotive fabrics • were featured at the fashion show held in connection with the recent National Motor Show. But fashion designers haven't a corner on ingenuity when it comes to fabrics. Some shopping for materials to make up into bedspreads, dust ruffles, vanity skirts and window treatments are heading i straight for the dress fabric department. This is partly due to the trend toward lighter, more air y Materials and partly to the rustle of spring which every year sees a search for fabrics that are ta'esh and crisp to replace those that are faded, heavy and limp. Among the dress fabrics wind- ,1sig up in bedrooms because they look so ethereal yet are so stur- dy are the nylon puckers now blooming in springtime profu- sion in stores everywhere. These stitch up readily into. matching bedspreads and vanity skirts that waste no time drying and re- quire little primping with an iron. They come in sprightly Morals, . cheery checks, sophisti- cated stripes shot with metallic threads and designs woven with threads of "Orlon" to look like hand embroidery. Their modest prices permit them to be used with a free hand to co-ordinate bed, vanity and possibly a swag valance, A patterned or a textured fab- ric is usually more pleasing when it is repeated somewhere else in the room. One pattern or tex- ture is often sufficient for av- erage -size bedrooms. On the other hand, bedspread, vanity skirt and draperies all in the same definite pattern may be somewhat over -powered in an average or smallish bedroom. In this case swag valances and airy marquisette curtains are. some t i m e s substituted f or draperies. However, marquisette curtaining usually isn't found among nylon dress fabrics since many of the fabrics such as• those made of "Orlon" acrylic fibre have been specially developed for sun-bathed windows. Fabrics are more vital to the beauty of a bedroom than to any other room. With fabrics such as these available, nobody need go out on a limb to make it the prettiest room in the house. The Tigers Don't Miss The Sahibs Recently published statistics reveal that in 1952 and 1953 in the Calcutta district of India alone, 25 more people were kill- ed each year by tigers than the average number per year dur- ing the entire period of British rule. One explanation of this state of affairs is the disappearance of British game -hunters. An- other is the sharp reduction in huge incomes and personal spendings of former Maharajas who used to stage organized tiger hunts. So tiger hunts in India are now the exception rather than the rule. .Consequently the num- ber of jungle beasts that roam from their fastnesses into towns and villages is increasing rapidly. And it is not only tigers that constitute a menace. Not long ago some hyenas entered a vil- lage in the Farukhabad district of the United' Provinces, carried off four children and ate them. Twirling Tot—Her smile helps, but it"s really her talent. That's why four-year-old Linda Kay Bialas is wearing all those medals. The baton -twirling tot has actumulatsd over 25 medals and trophies while competing In five mid -west states during the past year. Together Again—CheeChee and Blackie are together again in their home. This photo was taken after CheeChee, left, was discovered playing "greasemonkey" in the motor of a parked e:ar. Police help was needed to discover the simian's monkey- shines. A few columns back we paid a mite of tribute to the late Battling Nelson, who, in Janu- ary of this year passed away, almost forgotten, in a Chicago • hospital. From a reader up North who says that record books are scarce up among the forest of uranium -claim stakes, asks us to settle an argument as to whether Or not Joe Gans, the great color- ed lightweight, ever beat Nelson:- * a C, „ The answer is in the negative. Gans fought Nelson twice, and both times the Battler proved that stamina and ability to take It will beat speed and skill -pro- viding, that is, you possess suf- ficient of those qualities to pro- vide the necessary margin. And, of course, it should not be over- looked that Mr. Nelson had con- siderable youth running for him as well, which is by' no means bad. in a tough battle, • * It was on July 4, 1908, that Gans and Nelson met for the first' time, before a huge crowd in the Mission Street Arena in San Francisco. For the first five rounds it was all Gans, who slashed and battered the fair- haired Nelson until the latter's- faee looked as if it had been run throught a hamburger grinder. Still, he couldn't stop Nelson's ceaseless rushing although, at the end of the .sixth stanza Joe was miles ahead on points. * a * The tide of battle turned in the seventh. Taking half a dozen punches in order to land one The battler hammered away at Gans until Joe was forced to clinch— something, till then, almost un- heard-of for the lightning fast Baltimore Negro to do. a a a From the seventh to the twelfth it was fairly even with both men taking enough punish- ment to cause a modern referee to stop the bout. Then, at the start of twelfth Nelson caught Gans with a terrific right that sent him to the ropes, and follow- ed it with a left uppercut that had Joe on his knees. .Right and left to the head had Gans on the floor for• a nine count but al- though he looked as if he couldn't last the round, a straight left to the jaw slowed Nelson up a bit and a' second or so later came the gong. Under the terrific battling Gans weakened fast. He was on the canvas again in the thir- teenth, and agan in the six- teenth, this time for a nine - count. 0 e The end came in the seven- teenth. Three times. Nelson bat- tered Gans to the floor, and the last time Joe just couldn't make it to his feet again. He went to his knees, sagged forward on his face -and then, badly hurt, rolled over on his back. Game as they came, he struggled to get on his feet, and finally managed to do so. But it was too late. Referee had already counted ten and Battling Nelson was the winner. 0 '1 a Gans demanded a return match, of course; and it is rather interesting to note that they met for the second time hardly more than two months later—an Sep- tember 9th to be exact. Nowa- days they'd take far longer than that arguing over how the purse would be split! 0 This time Cans lasted till the twenty-first round; but although the fight was spectacular enough, Nelson was in the driver's seat practically all the way. The end came with Gans on the floor, not unconscious but just too weak to rise, watching Referee Eddie Smith wave his hands in rhythm with the count of ten. * r,, 0 That was the last time Jae Gans ever entered a prize ring. One of the greatest lightweights in history, he had held the title for eight years, until Battling Nelson—with an assist from Fath- er Time --took it from him. a a Gans died two years later, but his conqueror lasted for another four decades. He lost his title in February 1910 to Ad Wolgast, when the bout was halted in the 40th. round to save Nelson from further punishment. For years he':,,was a popular figure at the .ringside whenever there was an important fight, drawing great applause from the fans wherever he appeared. 0 0 * Then, little by little, he sank Out of sight. Although he had made what was a fortune in that era, poor investments and an open ear for any hard -luck story caused it to melt away. At the age of sixty-five he got a job as clerk in the Chicago postoffice., Then, last January, broke, be- wildered and weighing only 80 pounds, what was' left of Battl- ing Nelson showed up at an Illinois sanitarium. "I am very tired" he whispered to one of ' the nurses. It was the. end of the long trail for the blacksmith's helper from Hegewisch, Illinois. When They Move They Take It All Moving house is a job in itself, and most people are content if they can effect the transfer suc- cessfully with all their belong- ings. They do not usually bother to take with them the name or number plate off the front door, or the board with the name of the street on it at the end of the road, and set them up at their new abode. But that is what they do on some of the Malay islands. For years there it has been the cus- tom, on changing one's domicile, to remove not only one's own belongings, but anything e 1 s e one can lay one's hands on as well Especially the road signs. In consequence 'the postal authorities s o m e t i m es find houses and even streets appar- ently renamed almost overnight. Not infrequently letters and par- cels have had to be. sent back marked "address unknown." It has been a source of worry to the postman, to say the least. Though they have a respect for the old custom, the switching of house names and street titles by the residents is a bit confusing at times. So there is talk that in future it will be an offence for a person moving house anywhere in Ma- laya to take part of the local geography with him.
