The Leader-Post – November 11, 1932
(Special Despatch) THE PAS, Man., Nov. 11. – With all signs pointing to unusual mining activity and a new flow of business to the north, members of the sporting fraternity are hoping to boost sport in this town to ths place it held a few years ago.
The first definite move was made this week when Nels Moe, former wrestler and boxer of the prairies, who turned promoter after the loss of an arm, brought Tony Flamand, French-Canadian lightweight from St. Ambrose, Manitoba, for a bout which will likely be staged here in the near future.
Tony stands just a little better than six foot, weighs 175, and says he’s in fighting trim and ready to take ’em on.
Since meeting Young Kramer in the Playhouse theatre in Winnipeg two years ago, when he lost a 10-round go on a decision, he has beaten Kramer twice. He has also the record of knocking out Battling MacMaster in the first round of a fight at Vanguard, Sask. He fought Del Fontaine in Winnipeg Amphitheatre and stayed 10 rounds before losing the decision.
Nels hopes to get a fight for Tony with Harry Dillon of Flin Flon, with a return scrap in the mining town; and probably try to arrange a mixup with Al Conquest, who is now in Winnipeg. He is working among the sporting men now, and may try and get Kid Samuels, colored show card of Russell, Manitoba, to come here, and also to Flin Flon.
The promoter says that Russell, whom he has fought himself, has enough flash as well as fighting power to put on a good snow.
