HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1954-07-08, Page 3E Calvert S P TS COLUMN ' e(4et90440it Canada is now only tbarteen years away from the century mark of Confed- eration. Over the past 87 years, Canada has grown in wealth and in stature am- ong nations of the world. Canada has deve1.oped and continues to develop hi all fields -- including the field of sports. It is noteworthy that the sports games with the biggest followings today were unknown when Canada was born. The one exception, of course, is baseball. Hockey, football, tennis, basketball and many other sports, have all budded and blossomed since 1867. Our great-grandfathers enjoyed numerous games adapted to local conditions. They had, cricket, baseball, lawn .bowls, track -field, golf, archery, croquet, fencing, racquets, tennis, rowing, skating, canoeing, lacrosse, swimming, curling, boxing, wrestling, tobogganing, snowshoeing, skiing, yachting and classical threesome' of huntin', shoothe and fishin'. Many of the sports popular 87 years ago still endure, in an even greater measure than then. But other sports have since come on the scene to reach tremendous proportions. Hockey is one of these, It came into being soon after Con- federation, developed rapidly after the turn of the century, and bloomed into its present international status in the 20's. Canadian football, developing from English rugby, has attained a tremendous vogue here, Baseball has become international. Golf has developed into a widely -played game for the masses, rather than the classes. Curling, from a modest corner in the early , sports pic- ture, has expanded into one of the greatest participant games in the Dominion. And skiing, comparatively new, has reach- ed high peaks of popularity the last 20 years. There's more sport today, and what is more important, there's a greater degree of participation than ever before, from which Canada, still a young nation, doubtless draws much of its virility. Our sports haven't had many new additions, but they have grown tremendously in scope and healthy public interest. Voce comments cud suggestions for /his coPomn will be wolccomod by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 4311 Yonge Si., Toronfo, DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO F,:.:,ced Police Faces are red in a certain German police station following a successful motor show which took place in the town recently. The police chief attended and, as a distinguished guest, was in- vited to take a trial run by him- self in a special car set aside for that purpose. But • owing to a misunderstanding, he drove off after lunch in the wrong ear -the most expensive model In the show. When it was missed, a hue and cry for the "stolen" car was raised by an official who 'phoned the local police station. Within Three minutes eleven police cars were scouring the town and dis- trict for the missing car. Meanwhile the police chief was `hugely enjoying his drive through countrylanes just out- side the town. After an hour he drove the car back into the showground. He was amazed to see gesti- culating esticulating policemen arguing with show officials after having failed to find the "thief" and the miss- ing car. It was their turn to be surprised when the police chief stepped from the car, still un- aware of his mistake and the rumpus it had caused. When he learned the truth, he said sadly, "To think that after all the training you've re- ceived from me, you failed to find me and the car. At no time was I more than a mile away from the showground!" 10.10.64).10.1411 (4 Crossword Puzrle That Pays , Cash Prim) iFFERS CASH PIRE EVERY WEEK See the Cash -Word Puzzle in this week's Star Weekly - and complete rules. `A Cash -Word$ Puzzle appears in The Star Weekly each week, and one prize, of $200 is offered for the correct solution of each week's puzzle.

Twilight Racer F ar ess-Horse "ons r For its fifth season of harness racing in Toronto, the Ontario Jockey Club has come up with two startling innovations: Except on Saturdays and holi- days, the daily programme of nine races will start at 5 o'clock, The races, which for four years have been conducted at Thorncliffe Raceway, become the Woodbine Trots this season with completion of a half -mile track inside the big oval at fashion- able Woodbine. It's the OJC's contention that evening racing has a definite place in Toronto and that's why the 5 o'clock post time will be given a thorough trial. It is ex- pected that the programme will be completed each evening by 8.30 - on the fast-moving har- ness schedule of a race every 20 minutes. On Saturday and holidays the starting time will be 2,30. Thenew°racing"strap will ^1 ize Woodbine's running -horse stretch. However, the back stretch and the turns will be well within the big track, meas- uring a half -mule across the colorful Woodbine infield. The Woodbine Trots opened their 35 -day season on July 5. Entries for more than 500 horses already had been received at t the OJC office and there are 26 entries for the richest har- ness race in Canada, the $8,500 Canadian Cup. Included are two of the 1953 season's favorites, Argyle Grat- tan and High Lee Baldwin, and a new sensation already figured 10 be the horse -of -the -year, Egan Gratton, which as a mere three-year-old last season cam- paigning at Batavia Downs,,Buf- falo Raceway and Yonkers, won $18,650. orlon Lover As a good-looking young Bra- zilian stepped briskly from his car in Sao Paulo, Brazil, • he caught sight of a pretty young brunette walking with h e r French poodle on the other side of the street. It was love at first sight. He smiled across at her; she snub- bed him. Forgetting he had ar- ranged to meet a club friend, he followed her through a nearby park. Taking a s h o r t cut, he sprinted across the grass to bring himself face to face with her, As they drew level, he sinned again. She looked right through him. He hit on a plan; realizing she had no interest in him - onIy in her dog - he cleverly imi- tated a dog's bark and the poodle barked back furiously. Still the girl ignored the young man. For several days he followed her about, seizing every oppor- tunity to tease the dog by bark- ing at it. The exasperated girl told the police and a few days later the young man had to ex- plain his behaviour to a mails- -trate. "I love the girl and the only way I could think of to snake her acquaintance after she spurn- ed me was to bark at her dog," he said limply. The girl was so touched by his explanation that she withdrew her summons against him. The pair left the court together -with the poodle, ]Footnote; They were married a few weeks ago. Yes, .the poodle still barks furiously at him, but the young rnarl never barks back.' %ryeLiTi: ' .g + To Riches A, ,,i ac S ' Quick Lew Jenkins didn't have a pic- nic on the road to fame. In his youth, he knew poverty and lonelines. He picked cotton and he worked in a blacksmith shop. Early in his teens, Jenkins left home and joined that great army of repression kids who wandered from town to town looking for work. Perhaps it was the long hours under the burning Texas sun that made Lew Jenkins the skinny, raw-boned, vicious guy he was in the ring. Ten hours a day in the fields would make any hungry youngster a bit cruel. When Jenkins was only eight- een, a friend told hien that Jim Braddock, .then champion of the world among the heavyweights, was scheduled to 'appear in an exhibition bout at nearby Dallas. Lew decided to see the champ- ion perforin. 'He had no money 40n -carfare, but that didn't stop him. He began to hike for the big town. One afternoon, about two days before the exhibition, the pro- moter heard a loud knock on his door. "Come in!" he growled. A skinny boy, dirty, worn, tired, entered the office. It was Lew Jenkins, the coton field worker, dressed in dusty and patched overalls. "What do you want, kid?" snapped the boxing promoter impatiently, "Mister," drawled the kite, "ah want a fight. Anybody!" The promoter sized up the frail -looking Jenkins and smil- ed. "Well, son," he said, "there is an opening on the card, but it's a tough boy and I can't pay much , . ." "Never mind," interrupted Lew, "ah don't care what ah get paid, so long as ah kin fight!" "Better get a little training," advised the promoter. "It's Moon Mullins you'll be meeting in the ring!" "Okay," snapped Lew Jenkins, "I'll be there!" Had Lew known anything about the boxing game, he would have realized that the J12oon Mullins he was supposed to fight was a seasoned vete• ran, one of the best feather- weights in the country at the time. But Jenkins did not know. What is more, he left that pro- moter's office with just a single dollar in his pockets to tide him over until the fight. For two days, he lived on that buck, eating oatmeal and milk and nothing else. A huge crowd packed the arena on the night of the Brad- dock exhibition, and they saw one of the most stunning fistic attacks a fighter ever made when that skinny, unknown youngster crawled through the ropes to meet Moon Mullins in a pre- liminary match. The raw young kid smashed his way to a bloody victory against a seasoned and. experienced foe, and made it look easy. The whole thing was hushed up quickly to save Mul- lira's reputation. It would be highly embarrassing to a lead- ing featherweight if it ever be- came known that he had been licked by an unknown ama- teur. When the fight was over, the promoter handed Lew Jenkins his reward for the evening's work, It amounted to the munificent sum of four dollars. Jenkins thanked the gentleman, -,,cl went back to the fields.

Nothing more was heard of hire for several years. Then, when Lew Jenkins was an obscure blacksmith with a cavalry outfit of the regular Army, he began to engage in fights when on furlough. The little sideline brought him only coffee -and -cake money, Lew wasn't thinking of anything else until -romance entered his life. Lew Jenkins met the beauteous Katie. It was then that the ob- scure small-time fighter took tthe step that led him to fame and fortune, Lew 'married the lovely Katie. After the wedd- ing, she told him her greatest ambition. Katie wanted to see the big buildings in New York. Would Lew take her there? Lew would, He bought a broken-down jalopy and drove Katie to the big city all the way from Texas. Lew didn't have a dime when the couple arrived in New York. Unknown as well as broke, Lew Jenkins went to a boxing promoter and begged for a fight. Luckily, and for the second time in his life, Lew found himself in the right spot when a substitute was needed. And he knocked out his man! They matched him with ano- ther fighter and Lew won again by a knockout. The rags to riches saga was well on its way. The fight mob went wild over Lew Jenkin's murderous sock. Katie, the beautiful Katie, had barely seen the wonderful sights of New York when Lew Jenkins had won the lightweight champ- ionship of the world. With fame and money, things began to happen to the new lightweight champion. No long- er was he the hungry soldier who used to fight for chicken feed when on furlough. No longer was h e living from hand to mouth, thankful when he found a place to lay his head after a .tough scrap. He was riding high, wide and handsome, Noth- ing was too good for the champ- ion! So it was back to rags again for Lew Jenkins. He re-enlist- ed in the Army. Again, be be- gan to fight when on furlough, as he used to do in the days be- fore he became champ. But the old flame wasn't burning in Lew Jenkins any rnore. He took beatings. His saga was over. From rags to riches to rags again, the old story many a fighting great, that's the sad tale of the skinny hard-hitting boy from Texas, Lew Jenkins. 17o1R SALE.
