After defeating the best that could be offered in the east Bobby hit out for the United States where he chalked up an impressive lring of victories.

He enlisted in lhe Amcrlcan army at the outbreak of World War 2 and after his discharge in 1945 he made a comeback at New Glasgow July 15, 1946. and won a close 10-round decision over Walter

QUEBEC lCP)-The speech from the throne lnauguratlnlt ill! 5"" nual session of Quebecls 19815)!- ture today is expected to outline a policy of co-operation with fed- eral authorities.

"Co-operation within the respect of our rights." is the way Maurice Duplessis. 65-year-old premier of Quebec has outlined the overhauled platform of his Union Nationale government in recent weeks.

"Today. the veteran politician- begirlning his 30th successive sea- slon-.-ls expected to give the new policy a more official character through ' the speech from the throne.

Barrie. 0nt., Tuesday night fought Ewart Poigieter, the South African giant. to a 10-round draw in Hart rlngay Arena.

Parker, a big man who stands six feel. five inches. was dwarfed- by the seven-foot-two South African; who dances round the ring like a. clumsy bear.

100-POUND "EDGE" A roar of laughter welled up

' from the full house of 12,000 fans

when referee Charles Davidson lifted the arms of Parker and the 325'.i-pound goliaih.

Parker looked like a welter-

weight beside his huge opponenlp

although the Canadian weighed 225 unds. The Associated Press card gave

Parker seven rounds to three for "Pattie."

While the result was something

of a roadblock to the hopes of the South African giant. his backers remained hopeful of moving him on to bigger gates along the roadl travelled 20 years ago by Prinio Carnera.

Negotiations have already begun for Potgieter to make his Ameri- can debut in Chicago against Rex Layne. the fading .Utah heavy- . weight. PARKER RUSTY Parker. fighting for only the fourth time in two years. over- came a nine-inch reach disadvan- tage. swinging rights to the enorm- ous head bobbing above him. In the fifth round he landed a dozen looping rights and then moved in with straight lefts to the mid-sec- tion. This one was a big lest for Pat-

fighters -vlthout being extended the distance. All of Potie's victims. however. were obscure individuals.

Parker. while no terror. was the best the South African had met and went into the fight at his heaviest weight yet.

Parker's last outing was a draw with Earl Walls of Toronto last March. It was Walls who Pottle was to have met Tuesday night, but his recent retirement brought in Parker as a substitute.

The plodding Pottie is 21. Parker once ranked among the top 10 in the heavyweight division, is 27.
