• It is now quite unthinkable that, sug-
gested as a possibility, Canada should
withdraw from further representation in
what Is known as the "world's hockey
series.
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 chant-
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: "lf 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
flu 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.

Dress Fabrics To
"Dress" Bedrooms
It is a wise textile designer
who recognizes his own fabrics
this season. In New York, fur-
niture upholstery materials 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
e•eir,e heading straight for the
dress fabric department.
This is partly due to the trend
coward lighter, more airy
materials and partly to the rustle
of spring which every year sees
to search for fabrics that are
fresh and crisp to replace those
that are faded, heavy and limp.
Among the dress fabrics wind -
Mg up in bedrooms because they
Molt so ethereal yet are so stur-
dy are the nylon puckers now
''dooming in springtime profu-
sion In stores everywhere. These
stitch up readily into matching
bedspreads and vanity skirts that
waste no time drying and re-
wire little primping with an
iron. They come in sprightly
Morals, cheery checks, sophisti-
cated stripes shot with metallic
bhreada 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
sometimes substituted f o r
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 fotir children and ate them.

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.
5 5 0
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 ,leans
bad in a tough battle.
• a 5
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
face 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.
5 5 5
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.
M e •
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 tone for a nine -
count.
5 5 5
The end came in the sevet]-
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 lmees, sagged forward on his
.face and then, badly hurt, rolled
over on his back. Game as they
canto, 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.
5 * s
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—on Sep-
tember 9th to be exact, Nowa-
days they'd take far longer than
that arguing over how the purse
would be split!
5 • 5
This time Gans 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 weals to
rise, watching Referee Eddie
Smith wave his hands in rhythm
with the count of ten.
5 5 5
That was the last time Joe
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.
* o e
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 h popular figure at the
ringside whenever there was an
important fight, drawing great
applause from the fans wherever
he appeared.
Then, little by little, lie 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 en
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 AB
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
M 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 ,tliat is what they do on
some or the Malay islands, For
years. tieei'e it has been the cus-
tom; a lianging one's domicile,
tQ,,rrL4fia",ye not only one's own
belonj;ings, but anything else
one can lay one's hands on as
well. Especially the road signs.
In consequez.ce the postal
authorities sometimes 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.
