The two-year-old i.sn't suffering from a hany^over, but troin occui)ational worry. Strictly a youngster in the racing business, having made only a couple of starts, the horse got a headache just wondering how he will do against those "veterans" next time out. mm. 1^ A SlXBlTCtSff IC ')'o tile surpriM^ of almost nuboUy tliose CliicaKO Cnbs were moping around the deptlis of the National LeaKue tuli-basenHiit ; and even if Manager Charley (irinim couldn't have harbored any great hopes of a pennant-contnider with the assort- nitiit of talent he liad managed to collect, still he wasn't any too well pleased with the way his alleged team had been going. * * » One evening, alter the Cubs had dropped a lough decision, Grimm sat in his hotel room staring moodily â€" we might have said "grim-ly" but we'll spare you tliat â€" out of the window. In came Andy Lotshaw, trjiiner of the Chicago outfit. » » * "Vou don't need to tell me, I kiunv how you feel, Charley," re- marked Andy in tones of deepest sympathy. "I'm the same way; I just tried to tat some dinner, but the food tasted ju.st like sawdust and 1 couldn't eat a bite." « • * .'\fier the trainer had left Grimm played a hunch. He phoned down Vo the hotel dining-room and asked them to send up the dinner-check that Lotshaw had just signed. It read something like this; ilirimp cocktail, soup, double steak with all the trimmings, two pieces of pif, ice cream and cofifee- Total, around seven dollars. * * * Wlun he had read it Grimm let out a roar, and bounded out of the room gunning for Lotshaw. How- ever, ;\ndy's spot of "sympathy" had turned the trick. Charley (jriimn wasn't mad any more â€" at least not about losing that ball game. ♦ » • A column or so back we referred to the late Joe Jacobs, light manager extraordinary and generally known as "Yussel the Muscle." While alive Joe was often confused, in the minds of the public, with Mike Jacobs, the fight promoter, who has just bowed out of the fight business where, for so long, he ruled almost alone. * * * There are a mllion tales told about Mike too â€" perhap. none of them saltier than the one about how he took care of the $80,000 cash which he personally took away from .Soldiers Field in Chicago the night of the second Tunney- Dempsey brawl. * * * the Windy City was quite a lough spot in those days and, rather naturally, Mike was somewhat wor- ried over packing so much ready money around. He gave a motor- cycle cop twenty dollars to take him to the hotel in the side-car, but even when tlure in his room he felt by no means at ease. * * * "I tigured that if some of those tough mobsters knew I had it they ntight try to stick me up, even if they had to jimmy the door open; so I wanted to be ready for them. Before the light there had been a . party in the room and there were a lot of champagne bottles lying around, most of them empty but a few still filled. So I got a long table and stacked it with bottles. Then I sat down at the table, facing the door. If anybody tried to get in I was all set to grab the phone and holler for the law. But if they got in before the cops arrived, 1 was going to heave l)ottles at them." * * + Mike sat there al' tht balance of the night, prepare< to go into his g'ass-juggling act on short notice; but nothing happened, Came the dawn, as the Hollywood script- writers used to phrase it, but still the Jacobs' brow was wrinkled with care. The eighty G's were sal'e, so far, but there was still the probltni of getting it to the bank. * » » "I was afraid somebody might be laying for me and stick me up on the way to the jug." Mike says, "for in them days they would do things like that to you in Chicago as soon as look at you â€" or even sooner â€" even in broad daylight. * * * "So 1 sat there wondering what the heck to do, and then I hap- pened to tliink of a niece of mine who had two little girls around live or six years old so I phoned and told her to fetch tliem around to the bote'. So when they got there we pinned the dough inside the two kids' little panties and my niece took them around to the jug where I met them a little later and deposited the eighty grand." * * • . With most men, you would put a tale such as that down to â€" well, imagination, but not Mike Jacobs, who was a character straight out of Damon Runyon, a man" who started as a hustler, s'ca'ping theatre tickets, operating nickel side shows and so forth, and who ended up as the biggest figure in the immensely profitable fight promotion racket. * • * Now he's departed, and the game has drifted into the hands of fin- anciers such as the Norrisses, who own or control â€" among other things â€" at least three of the six Arenas in which Big League hockey is played. There's little doubt that they're far better and more con- ventional business men than Mike Jacobs ever dared to be; but we wou'dn't mind placing a small bet that, when they pass out of the picture, there won't be nearly .as many, or as amusing, yarns told about them. Race Track Doubles as Farm â€" When they're not racing horses, they're raising crops at Miami's heiMitifiil fiialeah Race Track. While the ponies thunder around northern tracks during their peak season, Hialeah is being planted with peas, okra, cucumbers, corn and watermelon. Here, workers distriinite a covering of hay and fertilizer near the finish line. After the harvest, stalks and roots are chopped to a pulp and plowed into the strip. WIUTGQES(m ~ INTHE VOfiLD I yNornanBlaur GERMANY Our Canadian way of thinking i* greatly colored by United States press dispatches, magazines, movies and radio â€" far too greatly so in the opinion of many. So it is with a feeling of real satisfaction that I reprint here an editorial appearing in the Christian Science Monitor, published in Bos- ton, which says something which greatly needed saying, and is worthy of the widest publicity north of tin- Uorder, ilere it is. "Recently there was a great splurge in the press of the United States about that stupendous .Amer- ican achivenient, the Berlin airlift. The only thing wrong with this picture was the terminology. The airlift, as it happened, was an Anglo-American achievement. ".Appro.ximately one-third of the joint effort was British, paralleling the comparative fesources of the two nations. The cost to British taxpayers was $26,000,000, and 23 British aircrew were lost in the operation, as compared to 27 Amer- icans. "The comparisons are unimport- ant as such. What is important is the solidarity of purpose and the close technical teamwork which made this marvel of achievement possible. The rift occasioned by the Boston tea party finds no place in the lift provided by the Berlin sky party." To every word of which all Cana- dians who still take pride in a Brit- ish heritage or background can heartily say "Amen;" although, possibly, the first sentence in the third paragraph might have been omitted. Such comparisons â€" such information is important. Ask any group of Canadian school kids about the Berlin airlift, and the chances are that three out of five of them would say that "the Yanks did it all." .An ' it shouldn't be so! GREAT BITAIN Nationalism, the main strongpoint in the policy line of Britain's La- bor Party, is coming under some sharp fire just now. The fire comes from a some- what unexpected direction â€" from socialists and trade unionists. A heavy broadside has just been aimed at the National Coal Board by the b"al)iaii Society â€" an influ- ential back-room group of social- ists, whose early history is studded with names like George Bernard Shaw. H. (1. Wells, and even Prem- ier Clenipiit R. Atlee himself. The Fabians approve national- ization in theory. But they declare themselves "shocked" by the work- ers' own critical reactions to this particular example in practice. Research workers of the Fabian Society polled a "sample" selection of 88 coal miners and union officers to discover industry's own views about nationalization. Of that total, 84 replies supported criticisms of the Coal Board as a swollen, bur- eaucratic machine. The Fabian Society declares that while the average miners' support for the Labor Government and of the theory of national ownership of the coal industry remains unim- paired, their poll reveals "a serious situation calling for prompt action." Friction Cited "We cannpt feel it desirable or necessary that nationalization should involve as much friction and fi*stration in the first IV-i years as it has in present case," the report declares. THE UNITED STATES A little over three years ago, at an "Amfiican First" meeting in Chicago, one of the speakers was the Rev. Arthur W. Terminiello, a Roman Catholic priest from Ala- bama, who was then under sus- pension by his Bishop for utter- ances "detrimental to his church and the unity of our country." (He has since been reinstated by the church.) At the meeting in (|uestion Father Termniello's apeech was vi- olent. While, outside the hall, an angry crowd of protestors chanted, threw bricks and stench bombs, he attacked "atheistic, commimistic Jewiih or Zionist Jews" and spoke of "slimy scum," "snakes" and "bed- bugs."

Ontario. miniello was arrested, tried and fined $100 for disorderly conduct on the ground that his speech had stirred the public to ang^r and cre- ated a disturbance. He appealed, and a few days ago the United States Supreme Court threw out the conviction on constitutional grounds. The verdict was by no means unanimous, the nine justices split- ting five to four: and this close vote in the Supreme Court clearly reflects a decided conflict of opinion on such matters. On the one hand there are those who, like the court majority, advocate the widest lati- tude in expression of opinion, no matter from what quarter that ex- pression come*. On the other hand there arc those who, like the court minority, feel that extremists must somehow be restrained Icat they go so far as to destroy eTentually all freedoms of speech. Just what effects this Supreme Court decision will have on the trial of 11 alleged Communist leaders in New York does not appear at this writing. But to an unbiased onlook- •r it would seem strange if»Father Terminiello cmiUl get away with •uch expressions he still used, and the Communist leaders be very severely punished. However, in the United States â€" and elsewhere â€" it seems iiuite possible to make "fish of one and flesh of another,' and do so legally. In any case, the professional Jew and negro-baiters, especially in the Southern states, are doubtless quite happy over the whole thing.
