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 records 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, wlio was a Civil War spy, gambler and oil magnate, claimed the heavyweight fistic title, just about 1867, and fought Bob Donnelly for it at Fort Erie, oorrissey had fought John C. Heenan, "The Benica Boy" for the world title at Long Point, in Canada. John J. Dwyer fought Jiro Elliot at the same 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 Old Country, who played in Montreal and Quebec on 3 -hole courses, and in 1873, six years after Confederation, a group of the original players niet in Montreal, and created the Montreal Golf Chi:), 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 1859, and in the same 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 times 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 1868, 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 vas 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.

Answer Elsewhere on This Page 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 Al Zarilla. it went by the "square dancing" Yankee keystone combo for a single, but the Yanks wan the game, 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 home runs, perfect games, biggest attendances or anything like that, but for the number of managers fired. F * * 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 "Ulsters" as they call them in Flatbush, are an occupa- tional disease with baseball pilots. * * * Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves was the first to feel the axe -maybe Tommy saw that we had picked those same Braves to win rhe 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. ,k * ak Then Rogers Hornsby -faced with the task of making something out of nothing -started talking to his St. Louis Browns as though they were old-time ball -players in- stead of modern pampered athletes, and the players, naturally; resented it. So The Rajah had td walk the plank, Marty Marion being the man to sit in for him, which was a break for Marty, although just what kind of a break we couldn't say. A * * 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. h * * And now Red Rolfe. Just two years ago the baseball plan'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 Rolfe's replacement, probably by cutting cards or drawing names out of a hat. * * * 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 teams 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 days * 4 Our personal interest in fish is pretty much limited to seeing them on a platter, maybe with a little mid Not Take $1,000 For Mot Emerald Oil Pols Done for Me" 'Writes Florid(' Ludy "The Eczema on my hips is entirely gone," writes Mrs, R.

If you've already read it -well, it will stand perusal a second time. So, with : bow to Mr. Turnbull for the assist, here it 15. • 1 * We'll 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 box is ideal. k * * Put a layer of sawdust on the bottom of the boxl 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 good 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 home. Days in an ice box don't make 'em worth a darn. Just keep those you get the day before reterning 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 thele to neighbors. Sure, it's nice to be 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 thk strain. Eat what you catch or don't keep 'em. ISSUE 29 - 1952 r oa✓ issecp'• lees-- Neal/ash Quick!
