He was on his way to New York by plane for a return title bout with LaMotta when his brilliant career in boxing was brought to an end. and not only the French sporting public. but the whole world of sport mourns his loss.

MONTREAL. NOV. 1 ——(CP) Eight-ounce gloves. instead of the customary six, will get a real test here tomorrow night when Baby Ferland and Bernard Docusen tradi- punches. -

The Montreal Athletic Commiss- ion recently ordered that half-pound gloves be used by all boxers over the lightweight class.

Elmer (Montreal Herald» Fer- guson says undoubtedly the change in legislation is well meant, and Irnay reduce the number of cuts iii- flicted by lighter gloves. But whether it will mitigate against head injuries, the real objective of

he says.

“It is the jotting force behind the blow, not the size of the gloves. which does the damage. Wearing gloves of any reasonable weight. fighters with heavily taped hands have no fear cf breaking meta- carpal bones. Thcy can put every bit of power into their blows. Arid the bandaged and glovccl fist lands like a club with stunning force." Fergy says this jotting has hurt many boxers and has been re- sponsible for punch-drunk fighters. He recalls that Sam Langford and former baiitarn champion Pele Her- man both became blind aftcr long ring careers.

"When ccmparing gloved hands with bare fists." says Forgy. “the bandaged and gloved hand offers a comlbination that increases the striking power of the pugllist and carries with it a bludgeon-like im- pact. that the bare fist lacked. "The bare knuckles cut and slashed. but didn't stun because the some power couldn't bo thrown be- hind them over long periods."

To emphasize his point Fergy says many of the old-time greats lived to ripe old ages and with no apparent ill-effects, physically o: mentally.

Suni-nlcrside are beginning to won- der what is going to happen this wir. ". As matters stand, the clizi cos of ivhipping the old Cry- stal Rink into shape for the 1949- M season do not. look too bright. although as yet the chances are not entirely blacked out. Someone may pcp up who will be willing to take a chance on letting the old rink sin-g its swan song this winter for rho sake of keeping the game of hockey active in our midst. There are oodles of sports fans in Sum- mcrside who believe that the frame of the old hulk is good for another twenty years, but though the skele- ton may be sound. the old arena. is a mighty sick man nevertheless Great damage has been done tr the interior by vandals who un-fort-

unaiely have got rtivay with all their wanton destruction and re- mained un-punished. The Jackpot

question seems to be: Just how much of the long green would a person have to dish out before the build- ing could be put in shape for a last year of hockey? if some expert on assessment cf damages and necess- ary repairs could answer that quest- ion. perhaps something could yet be done to keep the paying customers liuonging past ifhe old ticket-office for another season. Do not forget. the bumper crowd of fans who jammed the old rink last, spring when Balhurst played here. If good hmkey is played large numbers will continue to come. despite the dis- comforts that must be borne in the drafty old ‘building now. - e e

Some argue that a year of no hockey in Summerside will make the ~faiis all the more eager for a new rink. Perhaps. But watching hoc- lgey matches in the old rink in its present deplorable condition should also make them determined that better facilities for the national pastfirne must be procured for our town.
