DANGEROUS RAPIDS in various places along the 139-mile course will have to be traversed as canoeists vie for top honors in this year's annual race from Fort St. James to Fort George. The race is expected to take some 12 hours to complete.
Annual Canoe Race Set For Friday, July 1
One week today canooisls from
near  and  far will rugged   course   in
traverse   a the   Third
Annual North-West Brigade race with more than $2,000 in prize money going to contestants.
The race is sponsored by the Prince George Simon Frascr Day and is organized by the local Rod and Gun Club.
Officials of the race, to start at Fort St. James and run for approximately 139 miles to Fort George, are anticipating a large entry-Entries will be accepted up until race time July 1, an official stated this week, but all contestants must be present at the starting point by 5 a.m. for final briefing. SECOND COMPETITION

Canoe
a person who has lived in the province continually during the six-months period ending June 30, 1960. All other rules of the North-West
Brigade Canoe Race apply but an additional entry fee of $5 is required.
The historic course of the race, a distance of 139 miles from Fort St. James to Fort George, winds its way through virgin wilderness waterways of the Stuart and Ncchako rivers, terminating just south of the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser Rivers near Prince George.
This route goes back many years for following the establishment of Fort St. James by Simon Fraser and his men of the North West Fur Trading Company in 1806 the route became the means by which the North West Company and later the Hudson's Bay Compony transported furs to the Fraser River and then to the Pacific by way of the Okanagan Valley and the Columbia River. It is known as the oldest established trading route in British Columbia. FIRST WINNERS
The first race, held August 2G, 1958, as part of that year's provincial centennial celebrations, was won by Jim Miller and Frank Buchanan of Summit Lake in 15 hours and 21 minutes.
The race captured the imagina-
tion of the people as canoeists from as far away of Flint. Mich., as well as the interior points of Prince George, Qucsncl, Fort Frascr, Summit Lake, Vander-hoof and Fort St. James gathered for the longest canoe race in Canada.
The second annual race, July 17, 1959, saw Gerry Wagner and Ralph Sawyer of Oscoda, Mich., win the event with a record time of 12 hours 38 minutes. ____

three relievers for 15 hits. Moon's sho.t climaxed a four-run third. He then brought in the clincher with a sacrifice fly in the fifth for a total of 22 RBI in a 12-game hitting streak. The Dodgers have hit home runs in each of their last 17 games. The major league record is 25, the NL mark 24.
seven more pounds help or hurt Floyd Patterson in his return bout Monday with Sweden's Ingemar Johansson, world heavyweight boxing king?
"It's going to help," Patterson said Thursday. "I'm hitting harder ami 1 think I'm just as fast at 188 or 189 pounds as at 182."
The 25-year-old former champion scaled 182 pounds a year ago when he was dethroned by the 196-pound Johansson on a seven - knockdown, third - round technical knockout. This time Floyd said he will hit 1SS or 189 Johansson said he will weigh 196.
Johansson doesn't think the added weight will be of any benefit to the challenger. He classifies Floyd as a sort of ugly duckling—neither a light heavy nor full-fledged heavy.
There's no doubt (Paiterson is aiming to pack more power into his wallops. He didn't get a chance to unlimber any big guns in the 1959 massacre. If he does this time, he is counting on the extra meat and muscle to beat clown the champ. HASN'T SLOWED HIM Ul'

Fishing at Smithers Reported to Be Good
SMITHERS — Although the Bulklcy River is still high, fishing in the Smithers area is good and some salmon have been taken. Fish are biting in the local lakes and conditions at Burns Lake are reported to be excellent.
Last week Mel Banta of Smithers caught a 14-pound char. Mrs. Banta landed a seven pounder 24 inches long. She also netted two trout. Her husband

bit." Floyd
weighed   around   190
pounds Thursday and appeared impressive in a three-round drill against Bjarne Lingaas, a six foot-three, 191-pound Norwegian. T h e solemn - faced former champ planned to wind up training with a two-ruund session today, although he said "I'm definitely ready now." For the record, Patterson appeared just as good in his final workouts last year.
Bower Named Trophy Winner
TORONTO OV-Johnny Bower, pro hockey goalie for 15 years and with Toronto Maple Leafs the last two seasons, was named winner of the J. P. Bickell memorial trophy Thursday.
The trophy, exclusively for Toronto players, is awarded at the discretion of the directors of Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens. It is not necessarily an annual award—there were no winners in 1957 or 1958, two years when the Leafs missed the National Hockey League playoffs.
G a r d e n president Conn Smythe said "the directors felt that Bower was the player who best represented the Maple Leafs both on and off the ice during the 195G-60 season."
Leafs purchased Bower's contract from Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League after the 1057-5S season.
In his first season with Leafs he shared goaltending chores with Ed Cliadwick. Last season he had the job all to himself for 6G schedule and JO playoff games. His goais-against average for the season was 2.73.
Ingemar Johansson Taking It Easy
GROSS1NGER, N.Y. (AD — "Resting is a wonderful thing," Ingemar Johansson, world heavyweight boxing champion, declared Thursday as he "loafed" for the return bout with Floyd Patterson Monday.
The S w ode weighed 197 pounds as he started his first of five days of relaxation.
"I feel fine, and as the days progress, 1 seem to get stronger and stronger," he added. "I've worked hard and this rest is just what I'm looking forward to."
\ year ago, Ingemar did the same thing. It was criticized severely by the press.
However, his "Hammer of Phor," as the right hand is known, proved the point with a smashing third-round knockout Df Patterson to bring the world title to Scandinavia for the first time.

U.S. Open Off To Fine Start
DENVER, Colo. (AP)—Between fish jumping out of lakes, Tommy Bolt throwing clubs into them, kids swiping balls from drainage ditches and the sun baking Cherry Hills to unusual toughness, the 60th United States open golf championship is off to a rousing start.
Add a pair of greybeards throwing the major challenge at Thursday's first-round leader, Mike Souchak, and you've got the ingredients for a rib-tickling tournament in the next couple of days.
Souchak, 33-ycar-old former Duke University football player from Grossingcr, N.Y., shot into the lead with a three-under-par 68. The challenging greybeards are 44-year-old Jerry Barber of Los Angeles and 49-year-old Henry Ransom of St. Andrews, 111., both with 69s.
Most everybody thought this 7,004-yard par-71 course would be torn apart, but only eight other golfers of the field of 150 managed to break par in the opening 18 holes of the 72-hole tournament. CANADIANS TRAIL
The three Canadian entries were far behind the leaders. Stan Leonard, 45-year-old veteran from Vancouver, posted a five-over-par 76 with two 38s. Rudy Horvath of Windsor, Ont., came in with 37-43-80 and Bill Ezinicki, former National Hockey League player from Winnipeg and now from Reading, Mass., ballooned to a 39-44-83.
Doug Sanders of Miami Beach, Fla., one of eight tied at 70, might have tied Souchak but a fish jumped in the lake in front of the 18th tee just as he was hitting his drive. It so distracted him he hit the ball into the water and took a two-over-par six.
"It made such a splash I thought for a minute somebody was unloading a truckload of empty beer cans," Sanders said. "Golly, whatta jolt."
If he had a jolt, Bolt had one,

too.
After hitting out of bounds on No. 11, but managing a par-five anway, tempestuous Tommy hit into the water at the par-three 12th and took a six.
Burning, he struggled on to the 18th and there hit two drives into the lake that cuts in front of the tee. He fired his club into the lake after the second shot, barely missing playing partner Claude Harmon. He wound up with an eight An the par-four hole, a 35-45-80 for his round and withdrew, saying:
"I'm as sick as a dog."
Later he was sicker when the tournament committee of the Professional Golfers Association informed him he had been fined $100 for club-throwing and endangering the life of Harmon. The committee called it "conduct unbecoming a professional."
