July^first eel ebration. Emerging as victors in all fou clashes with the Frenchmen were McKinnon and Olausen. In the first scrap on Thursday Olausen, trained and managed by McKinnon, scored a first fall over Ratell after two and-a-hajf rounds of bone breaking activirv\"-\^ Ratell countered in the fourth round by tieing Olausen up, but lost the fight in the fifth when he was disqualified by referee Bill Greenfield for punching. Heavyweight McKinnon then tangled with hanry, dark skinned Hector Trudeau who drew a first fall over McKinnon in the fourth round only to have the hefty Prince George Police Constable down him in the seventh for a tie. Insisting on a re-match, the agony artists clashed for the second time on(l Friday night before a near-record crowd. Trudeau, booed and jeered each time he clirrfbed into the ring, achieved the distinction of being one of the most unpopular people in town as he kicked, punched and hair-pulled his way through the first round. Frequent warnings from Referee Greenfield only served to further enrage him, but McKinnon levered Irm to the floor only minutes into the*second round to" win the first fall. After kicking the referee, removing a handful of his opponents hair and twisting his head between the ropes in the fifth round, Trudeau moved in for a > kill and skillfulty managed to nail McKinnons shoulders to the mat for a three count. Every inch the showman, he leered and scowled at front-seaters and dodged in and out ol the ring in an attempt to evade McKinnon's rushes. Final victory came to the Pride of Prince George in the sixth round when McKinnon ricocheted Tj-udeau off ropes, posts and the referee before slapping him to the mat ami ^holding him there for the count. ""\^ By way of refreshment, a tag-team match,Prince Gedrge versus Montreal was held on Saturday night with all four wrestlers and-sometimes the refdree hammer-ng each other to a well calculated pulp.

Lyon Handicap Trophy. Standing almost two feet high, the sleek silver trophy with the crossed golf clubs has been play five times, from 1936 to 1940. Although his name appears on the cup but once, Jimmy James won it three times, but not by playing golf. He won it twice for of all things, billiards. When he related this to an already confused "Citizen" reporter this week it was first thought by the reporter That Jimmy was joking. He was not, and here is his story: The cup was donated to the Canadian Legion by the late Dr. E. J. Lyon sometime prior to 1936. It was designated as a billiard trophy and could be won permanently by any person winning the billiard tournament twice in succession. At this stage the cup was adorned with a soldier, rifle in hand, in tribute to the Legion, and had crossed billiard cues with balls to match. Jimmys, adept at most sports (as evidenced by the cluster of several pounds of silver trophies in his Third Avenue store) managed to become the outright owner at 150,000 Trout Eggs Spawn at Miworth Through the efforts, .of.the Rod and Gun Club and the Game Department, more than 150,000 Kam-loops trout eggs were placed in a hatchery at Miworth on Tuesday. The eggs, packed in larke containers surrounded with ice, will hatch out in about five weeks and will then be transplanted to lakes in the Prince George district. In charge of planting the eggs at the hatchery were Bob Baxter, Harry Giese, Gus Lund, and Game Wardens A.J. Jank and Robert Tait. Three lake,s which get the major share of the spawn are Six Mile, Nukko and Cluculz., Games Postponed Two Northern Interior Baseball games scheduled for last Sunday were, postponed due to the July 1 tournament and will be played later in the season. holds.

Generous Jimmy looked the situation over and the cup was sent ! to Birks with a request concern-| ing changing the engraving and ' general motif of the cup to the sport of golf. Birks replied that the job could be done and set to work doing it. The soldier was removed and set on a separate base to form the billiard trophy which Jimmy now ond time it was played for under the new colors. Other names gracing the silver shiekls of the cup are those of Jack Bigmore (1936), F. j. Shearer (1938), E. V. Whiting (1939), and B. G. Parker (1940). The trophy was located in Parker's Clothing Store and will go into play again this year. Other golf prizes for which play will be revived this year are the Ladies' Rose Bowl and the Dr. Carl Ewart Cup, yet to be located.
