IN HONOUR OF A GREAT FIGHTER

The greatest flet-power ever assembled in Britain met last week at a dinner of the National Sporting Club in London to honour one of their 'greatest fists'-Georges Carpentier, former ght-beavyweight champion of the world,

Carpentier, a young-looking 68, care face to face with his, old opponent "Bombar- dier". Blly Wells, the man he beat twice in one year-1913. Together, they watched a tim of their training bouts. Later Carpentier, in his hurky volce and halting English, talked of the Bghts that stand out in his memory to an audience of 300 guests.

There was laughter as Carpenter, wearing scarlet boxing gloves with bis evening suli, threw mock uniches at his old opponent Wells to punctuate his speech, it included recollec tions of the night when he lost to heavyweight champles Jack Dempsey in 1921.

The party was later joined by Ted (Kid') Lewis, now in his seventies, who had ozee given Carpeniler one of the most controversial fights in his career. He was greeted by Car- pentier with a hug and was among the many vanquished who cheered when Carpentier had made his speech;

Three needle softball matches this weekend

By OLLY VAS

The results of their matches at King's Park this week will be of import- ance to the Indians, and Giants in the Junior division and also to the four teams engaged in Little League baseball competition for there are three needle games on the schedule.

If the Cubs beat the Lions when they meet on Saturday at 2.00 pm they are in with a chance to force a four-way tie in the Little League pro- vided that they score a double by downing the Giants a week from now and if the latter should in turn account for the Rebels.
