That his oppqnen was his brother bothered tin little User not at all. However Lawrence showed his greater experience by usint his longer reach to get his bro ther at bay with stinging lefi jabs. At times, however. Lewis moved in under Lawrence'; lead and belted his brother wit! wild swinging blows that fore ed Lawrence to back away. A LITTLE BILL The third round of the bout had the fans screaming as Lew is poured on the pressure de spite being so tired that he could hardly lift his hands. The 64 pound battler would back off from his brother, look n him, lower his head and come in charging like a Brahman lull; swinging rights and left from somewhere out in centre field. The bout ended in a draw, much to the approval of the fans. Main event of the evening, a middle weight battle between Thorkield of Toronto and Fin-and and Hurricane Francis of Prince George had an ironic end-ng. The two boxers, both boasting wide experience, good .speed and stiff punches squared off in the first round of the five round bout, and gave the fans a brief Jisplay of boxing. UK UUSX'T KICKED Suddenly in a flurry of punches, Francis doubled up in pain. The Prince George boxer was suffering from a painful 'char-lie horse' in his left leg. Francis was unable to con-inue and had to be helped from he ring. The charlie horse oc-urred when Francis was back-ng away from Larson. At first t was thought that an extremely ow blow had caused the dam-ige, but the referee and spec-ators at ring-side knew otherwise. With Francis unable to con-inue, Gene (killer) Hill a veteran Prince George boxer agreed o meet Larson in a two round xhibition. Hill wearing, levls and in locking feet put on a dazzling .lisplay of boxing — and seem-!d to be getting more kick out f it than anybody else. Hill, who was about six inch-ss taller than Larson and had much greater reach than his ipponent, literally kept Larson t bay with his left jab. (HilV vould rest his left on Larson's ;lioulder and there was nothing he Easterner could do to get my closer.) Both boxers landed solid imehes during the bout, with Hill getting the better of the xehanges. There was no de-ision. iACK EXPERIENCE The other bouts of the even-tig lacked the color of the Hill-parson and the Pacquetter bro-hers fights. In the opening bout of the veiling Toni Jussinger and iddy McKay met in an SO-lound class bout with Jussinger winning the decision. The more experienced fighter carried the fight to his younger opponent and hit him almost at will. The next bout proved to be a real crowd pleaser when Brian Gourlie and George Feher battled through three fast and furl ous rounds. The two 90 pound division boxers combined fast foot work with counter punching and, a; a resuit, neither boy landed z hard punch during the bout The bout ended in a draw. SHAfcP DEFENSE One of the best bouts of the evening for boxing skiN tame when Albert Valencourt, 9; pounds and Dell Anderson, 85 pounds, tangled in one of the semi main events. Anderson staged what was probably the finest defensive ihowing of the night as Valencourt wasn't able to hit him with a solid blow. Anderson saw his opponent hit the canvas three times, once on a trip and twice when Valencourt was off balance. Anderson won the decision and showed the greatest potential of any of the young boxers. In a non scheduled bout Billy Harris, !)2 pounds won a decision from 78 pound Gary Stefan- T. The young boxers were all members of the Prince George Ring Association and were coached by Tony Klotz. wuestllnt; flops The evening was.finished with several so-called wrestling bouts. Only one of them, the Klotz-Chief Yellow-Knife battle for Klotz's Canadian Junior Light-[-Ieavyweight crown, was worth he price of admission. Klotz retained his title in the one fall one hour time limit )OUt. The first bout of the wrestling part of the evening pitted he Savage Angel of Vancouver-Seattle rings against Prince Jcorge's Barry Miller. The Angel, needless to say, lefeated the young 'Mr. Miller' n the best of three fall bout. A junior division bout be-ween' Bill Paren and Spunky 3at Brudell was won by Paren. The two youngsters both around 1 or 12, mimicked their elders almost to perfection. A tag-team event between Klotz and Miller and the Savage Angel and Chief Yellow Knife finished the, evening —, in . more. ways than one. The "bad guys", the Angel nd Yellow Knife won the bout >y tnking two out of three falls. Needless to say they did it with oul tactics. SOFTBALL FINALE was held Friday evening at the Gateway Supper Club, with members of the six teams from the local Softball league gathering for dinner, dancing and, most important of all, the presentation of trophies. Seated at the main table were the various guests and dignitaries including Mayor Carrie Jane Gray, Mrs. G. Chartrand of Giscome, Chuck Cawdell and Tom Hennessey.

They were play ed in the aifternoon starting at 12 p.m. The first game was between the MacKenzie Men's Wear crew and the Queensway Plumbers. The winner was MacKenzies, after a slow and lackluster tilt. Although it was rather slow the fans seemed to enjoy it as iboth teams tried valiantly to display plays and ability thai did not seem to ;bo there. It ^proved to 'be the (beginning of a good series though as the second game ipicked up the tem'po and was a fitting carryover of the first one. The second game of the day was "a real upset" according to Kirt Kolterhoff. The squad from Star Equipment, consisting of the old pros taught the younger and more agile Nechako Heaters :i thing or two. They racked up ¦four goals to the Nachakos' nno. In the final set-to of the afternoon the visiting Vanderhoof team was edged out in the last seven minutes of play toy the Rustad Bros. team. This game was one of the Ibes't exhibition of soccer that has been seen in these parts for some time as 'both teams were seemingly at top shape. The score wavered and finally came to rest at 4-3 for the Prince Georgites. However this was not until ihe final few minutes as 'both teams played heads up ball right to the final whistle.

The Dodgers and Braves ruined any chance for an unprecedented three-way tie by winning Sunday. That killed San Francisco Giants, who made it doubly sure toy losing a dou-bleheader to St. Louis 2-1 and 14-S. Roger Craig 11-5 'put it away for the Dodgers, winning his fifth game in a row with a six-hitter and driving in a pair of second-inning runs with a single off Bob Anderson 12-13.
