The bout has been . term.ed by the experts a mis-match. Marciano is quoted a 4-1 favourite. But old-timers remem- ber the mighty John L. Sullivan who was quoted at 4-1 odds when he met a slim, cocky, polnpadoured bank clerk named Jim Corbett one September night in 1892. Corbett was unim- pressed by John L's glares and roars, and systematically cut the hero down to size zero. We recall that, back in 1914, the world middleweight title was held by a rugged warrior from Pittsburg, George Chip. He was matched to fight a rather nondescript boxer whose ring tag was Al McCoy, McCoy was supposedly out- classed. Chip walked from his corner and ten seconds later, he wasn't champion any more. Then there was the Max Baer -Jimmy .Braddock "mis- match" of 1935. Baer had everything, including the heavy- weight title. Braddock had nothing. He had just come oiT the relief rolls. And at the end of 15 rounds Braddock was world's heavyweight champion. Of course, scores of mis-matches have gone the way they were expected to go. Dempsey knocked off the slightly over- . grown Georges Carpentier, though this mis-match drew the first million -dollar gate. The records would not indicate that -Cockell has much of a chance next week. He was knocked out by Randy Turpin and Jimmy Slade and beaten by the incompetent likes of Aaron Wilson. On the other hand, that happened when Cockell was fighting as a light -heavy. As a heavyweight Cockell has won ten in a row, four by kayo. Many strange upsets of the favourite's applecart have occurred in the past. This could conceivably be one of them, though we're not predicting It, Your comrnents and suggestions for This column will he welcomed Icy Ebner Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge S.., Toronto.

ONTARIO Odds and Ends About Sport Judy Canova is an expert deep sea fisherman. m g a The glamorous Betty Grable is said to have been a mascot for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team when she was a little girl. A 0 C George Raft in his early and unknown youth was a prize- fighter. When a boy he was the mascot of the New York Yankees. * +4 b A player named "Duke" Mor- rison made All -America in 1929. He is dimly remembered as a football player, but everyone knows him today as that rugged hero of the screen, John Wayne. * o 8 Pat O'Brien, who among many other star roles on the screen, played the parts of the famous football coaches, Knute Rockne end Frank Cavanaugh, was able to play those parts so realistic- stily because he was himself a football star at college. O # 0 Here is the story of Canada Lee, a story to inspire anyone who thinks that handicaps mean defeat and failure. For Canada Lee made every handicap a burdle to success. • About twenty-five years ago, be bobbed up as a jockey, He won many races, at Belmont, at Pimlico, Saratoga, New Orleans. The turf world acclaimed him es a great jockey, as good as any Aske track had ever seen. However, the time came when Canada Lee became too heavy to work as a jockey. His career was at an end. But Canada Lee u r n e d elsewhere. Strangely enough, he took up music, learned to play the 'violin. He did so well that the newspapers began to praise his concerts to the skies. Then, one day, Canada Lee deserted his concert work. He suddenly blossomed out as, of all things, a prizefighter. He be- came one of the cleverest welter -weights in the world. Three times he fought for the world's championship. Then came a serious blow. The doc- tors told Canada Lee he would have to give up the ring. The sight of one eye had gone com- pletely. He was in danger of going entirely blind. Canada Lee was a washed-up prizefighter. But he wasn't washed up as a loan. For one night, the amusement world was startled. Canada Lee be- came a great stage star with a superlative performance in the lead of "Native Son!" Later came another bombshell. He had a magnificent part in the mo- tion picture "Lifeboat." Other parts followed. Today, Canada Lee is an es- tablished star of stage and screen. The ex -jockey, ex -vio- linist, ex -prizefighter had sur- mounted every handicap life could offer. He is worthy of the highest praise for his accomp- lishments. Do youremember the once glamorous beautiful motion pic- ture star Carol Lombard? In a way, she was responsible for an exciting chapter in sports history. A few years before she lost her life in a tragic airplane crash whit, flying on a war mis- sion for the U.S. Government, Carol Lombard, the famous mo- tion picture star helped salvage the broken career of a fine girl athlete. That girl was danger- ously ill. She had collapsed dur- ing a tennis match in Europe and had returned to America, THE I3El RS'LL FLOW LIKE WINE — Frenah beer -drinking champ Auguste Maffrey drinks a giant tumberful of you -know -what in Paris as a warm-up for a European championship match. Maffrey's capacity is about 12 quarts of beer in 52 minutes. an invalid. The doctors held out little hope for her recovery, cer- tainly none for her future in sports. Then one day, Carol Lombard came to visit that sick, heartbroken girl, and to inspire her to fight for her life, the famous movie star told the girl her own story, how once, she too, had been a hopeless in- valid, but had refused to quit and went on to great fame and fortune in Hollywood. Inspired by Carol Lombard's personal story of courage, that sick girl athlete recovered and went on to become probably the greatest woman tennis champion of all time—Alice Marble. Years ago, in a town in Pennsylvania, two brother s, were all set to become profes- sional baseball players. But their father, a music teacher, turned "thumbs down" on the idea. He insisted they follow in his pro- fession, and to interest his two sons in music, he bought for them musical instruments to practice on. And so, America came to know two of its•. most famous band leaders, 'Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. 9 0 0 The beautiful Madeline 'Ca;rt: can pilot a sailboat as vvel" any man.

(aa' The Older Worker The heads of most large cor- porations are often well along in years, a vigorous 65 or 70. Some have even reached 80. But, too often, these same cor- porations follow a policy of not hiring people over 40 or 50. Age discrilnination has re- sulted in dumping thousands of healthy, a c t i v e, middle-aged men and women at the height of their skills on the unemploy- ment scrap heap. Forty and 50 has become the arbitrary gate- way beyond which a man of a woman shall not pass if unem- ployed and who seeks a new connection. Many women of 40, especially in business offices, are daily confronted with the same age barrier. By 1975, acording to the Cen- sus Bureau, the number of per- sons 45 and over will be more than 63 million. No wages for these persons means curtailed spending power, lower stand- ards of living, no income taxes to pay. Leading the fight against this age discrimination policy, poten- tially disastrous to the nation's economy, is the Forty Plus Club of New York City.

Their greatest reward, next to getting jobs for them- selves, is helping to get a job for the other fellow. Every working day of the year they are in the field, at their own expense, calling on employers to show that there is no substi- tute for the experience and know-how of the older worker. But why, in these prosperous times, is all this work necessary? First, prejudice against the 'aged' in business and industry seems widespread. Also,- pension plans are formidable barriers. The premium paid by the em- ployer to an insurance company to enable an employee of 50 to receive a pension at 65 is much higher than for a man of 30. A full-blown congressional probe is needed to uncover the extent to which the worker is discriminated against by reason of age and also by pension plans. Such an investigation would demonstrate that fair -employ- ment practices legislation is sorely needed .. .

Star -Journal. Loved Those Hits Ballplayers are a queer lot and it is best for their wives not to mix to much in their baseball lives. Several baseball seasons ago, Rube Lutzke was a Cleveland third baseman. A ballplayer loves his base hits more than anything in the world. Lutzke was no exception. One day he played a whale of a game and hit four for four. That after- noon, he came hone whistling, and happily kissed his wife as she 'met him at the door. 'Weil, honey, I got four hits out of four times at bat,�today," he told his wife. "Guess that's smacking the old pill,, eh?" A few days later, Cleveland played a double header and third -baseman Lutzke went to ,bat eight times and failed to get a single hit. When he came home that day, his wife met him at the door. and asked: "Well, honey, how many hits , did you get today?" For a moment, Rube Lutzke was speechless, and then he barked at his better half: "Listen, you attend to the cooking for this family and I'll do the hitting." However, his wife had to have the last word. For she looked at her ballplaying-husband disdain- fully and snapped back: "What hitting?" Gardener's Lingo I'he nonsuburbanite, especial- ly if he is an apartment dwela ler, is out of the conversational running these days. He can't boast of any radishes, lettuce and onions already in the ground, of any blooming daf- fodils or magnolias. He can't follow the cryptic discourse about nnulches, perennials, lawn sowing,' shrub moving. Worse still, he has to remain complete- ly out of the argument over whether it's better to plant early= or late. He soon gathers that those addicted to early planting feel very proud of themselves as up and corning types who keep ahead in every race. They are confident of having the first ripe tomatoes, the first edible new potatoes in their neighborhoods. But the cautious .late planters regard themselves as calls, sa- lacious turtles Who will win the race in the long run.
