Private
Wcllman
Wallace,
164-pound
Acropolis
fistic
sharpshooter,
qualified
for
another
notch
on
his
musket
when
he
scored
a
technical
knockout
over
Bill
Porayko
in
a
brief
encounter
which
was
the
feature
bout
of
the
Boilermakers'
Athletic
Club
boxing
card
in
the
staff
house
dining
hall
last
night.
Towels
and
seconds
began
to
pile
Into
the
ring
from
Porayko's
corner
after
less
than
30
seconds
of
the
second
round
after
the
168-pound
Boilermakers'
fighter
had
held
his
face
a
fleet-
second
too
long
in,
the
ortjlt
of
Wallace's
tank-busting
right.
The
blow,
which
Porayko
had
already
sampled
in
the
first
round,
put
him
out
on
his
feet.
After
80
seconds
of
the
first
round
Wallace
sent
over
his
first
right
to
Porayko's
Jaw.
It
was
a
masterpiece
of
timing
and
solid
delivery
which
jolted
not
only
Porayko
but
the
fans
as
well.
Both
had,
apparently,
been
fascinated
by
the
manoeuvres
of
Wallace's
left,
which
seemed
to
be
opening
trie
way
for
a
body
blow.
The
bell
saved
Porayko
in
the
initial
round
and
he
had
not
recovered
when
he
went
in
for
the
second
round.
Wallace's
final
right
sent
Porayko
to
the
canvas
and
he
arose,
clinging
to
the
ropes,
when
the
seconds
cried
halt.
The
fight
had
been
scheduled
for
five

Gymnastic
Show
Pleasing
To
Fight
Audience
Not
since
the
old
Pro-Rec
days
has
gymnastics
received
much
recognition
In
Prince
Rupert
but,
happily,
the
difficult
art
is
undergoing
a
revival.
Leading
off
last
night's
Boilermakers'
boxing
card
at
the
staff
house
dining
hall
was
a
gymnastic
display
presented
by
eight
boys
under
George
Ferguson
and
Johnny
Colllngwood
which
caught
the
fancy
of
the
fans
be
cause
It
was
well
down
and
un
usual.
The
display
of
pyramid'
building
and
tumbling
was
brief
but
it
was
also
filled
with
the
promise
of
what
may
be
expected
of
the
gymnasts
given
more
time
for
training.
At
the
conclusion
of
the
display
Boilermakers'
President
George
Stanton
revealed
to
the
fans
that
the
participants
had
been
training
only
two
months.
Leader
of
the
exercises'
was
George
Ferguson,
the
Instructor,
who
flnlshcd.off
with
a
scries
of
difficult
tumbling
routines.

GRATEFUL
FOR

Recognition
of
the

by

clubs
and
other
organizations
was
expressed
toy
Boilermakers'
President
George
Stanton
before
the
audience
at
last
night's

card.
'We

I

and
others
who
have
given
us
financial
assistance.
This
work
Is
helping
to
keep
the
youngsters
off
the
streets
and
is
giving
them
valuable
athletic
experience."
Mr.
Stanton
particularly
thanked
the
local

which
contributed
boxing
gloves
for
the
fights
and
which
was
