ARCHIE SPARROW, boxer

| SPARROW ARCHIE WILFRID THE CHAMPPASSE | LifeNews.ca

*The above link relates to Archie Sparrow, a former boxer
that is a member of the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame.

*Of interest in a book titled "Memoirs  Of Brant Inn"
by Stewart Brown, there is a caption that reads:
"More Like An Eagle Than A Sparrow".

*As expected for most boxers, Archie did not win all of 
his bouts such as the 1939 Dominion Championships.
In the finals, Archie dropped a decision to Gaston Eichel
of Indian Head, Saskatchewan.  Some other boxers in that
tournament included Kenny Lindsay, Jerry Blanchard, 
Henry Devine, Mack Scott and many others.
