• I got a chuckle the other day over a
story which said the new pin-ull boy in
Ireland is a horse,and that "ye. Day In
the Life of Tulyar" is the rage of the Sun-
day supplements,
This, we think, could happen only in
Ireland, a country that not merely loves
its horses, but breeds some magnificent animals, and in fact,
owns one in the person of Tulyar.
For Tulyar is the nation's horse, A few months ago, the
Irish Parliament, or Dail, approved the expenditure of $'700,000
for the purchase of a stallion name Tulyar from the fabulous
Indian sportsman, the Aga Khan. Tulyar is reputed to be the
horse of the century. He was undefeated as a 3 -year-old in
the British Isles, where a racer has to run more than six fur-
longs and with as much as 150 pounds on his back,
The purchase of Tulyar didn't Dass the Dail without an
argument. After all, it happened in Ireland, The Conservative
members of Parliament contended $700,000 was a "luxury
price" for an animal in a country facing an economic crisis.
But the more liberal members won their point, 60 to 23, that
Tulyar was a good investment in the national horse breeding
industry.
So Tulyar became a property of the government. He be-
longs to the Irish National Stud Farm in Tully, County
Kildare. The Irish are individualistic, if any race is, and they
see nothing inconsistent in nationalizing the noble horse.
Imagine the consternation on Ottawa's Parliament 11111 if
some sporting member advocated the purchase of Native
Dancer for a million or so, for the purpose of improving 'the
breed of racing animals in Canada. But, of course, race -horses
don't mean so much to Canada as they do to Ireland. In Ire-
land, the horse is big business. Export of horses is to Ireland
almost what General Motors is to the United States or the
gold, silver, lead and zinc products to Canada. Tulyar, the
people's horse, will bring many a pound into Ireland. Not so
many as the Irish sweep -stakes net, of course, but quite a
tidy sum, you may be sure.
An American syndicate headed by Jack Dempsey, Los
Angeles insurance man (not the ex -pugilist) bid more than
a million for Tulyar. The Moslem Aga Khan may have felt
in conscience that the steed belonged to Ireland and took a
cut in price.
The Aga Khan was criticized in London for allowing Noor
to get away from him. Hence he was sensitive about Tulyar.
Noor was Irish -bred, and beat Citation every time out. Tulyar
is held to be an Irish horse, because he was trained on the
emerald green grass of the Ould Sod for his English victories.

..Plain Horse Sense..
by BOB ELLIS
Ten years ago the representa-
tives of 44 nations met in Hot
Springs, Va., U.S.A., to discuss
the human needs for food and
how they could be balanced with
the production of which modern
agriculture is capable, if the
hobbles are taken off it.
Ten years have passed since the
hest experts of those 44 countries
have sat together and still more
than half of all mankind lays
itself to sleep at night with an
empty stomach.
The same Problem.
The first conclusion the Hot
Springs conference arrived at
was that there is no need for
hunger anywhere in the world.
Two thirds of the people on
earth, they said, are food pro-
ducers and with the means that
science has given them, they
are capable of feeding themselves
and the remaining third.
There are no surpluses, they
said, there is a dearth of pur-
chasing power. The problem is
not production, the problem is
distribution.
The delegates scored the policy
of some governments between
wars of restricted production
which was necessitated by price
supports to prevent farmers in
Those countries to grow more of
the supported crops which al-
ready were considered "surplus,"
Capitol? Capital!—Helen Fiske
Smith, )4, will represent the U.S.
capital at the "Miss America"
beauty contest in Atlantic City.
Tariff barriers and export sub-
sidies were another device t0
"protect" the producers.
The delegates also warned that,
unless a solution was found, re-
strictions would again have to
be imposed and more drastic
ones at that, as production would
continue to increase.
The Answer.
"But the world is sick of this
negative approach to the probe
lam," the delegates continued in
forming their answer.
"The development of the less -
advanced countries may be re-
garded as the major need of the
decades following the war. In
an age of increasing agricultural
efficiency and industrial mass
production, it is a little less than
suicidal to leave two-thirds of
the• world's people in a state of
chronic poverty and undernour-
ishment. Here lies the greatest
opportunity not only for improv-
ing human welfare but for ex-
panding the demand for agricul-
tural and industrial products.
Unless the opportunity is vig-
orously developed, through FAO
and other international organiz-
ations, industry and agriculture
will have to continue throttling
production down to a restricted
demand, which is like hobbling a
finely bred race horse and ex-
pecting it to win the race,"
The conference was of the
opinion that "No government in
isolation could provide remedies
for such a situation as that in
which so many countries found
themselves during the inter -war
period; indeed, isolated action
worsens the difficulties."
International Co-operation.
The delegates of the 44 gov-
ernments came to the ultimate
conclusion that only by working
together the nations could 11-
leviate want and poverty: "The
high levels of production and the
co-ordinated international plan-
ning attained for the purposes of
war have strengthened the con-
viction that as much and more
can be done for peace."
Out of the Hot Springs con-
ference came the Federation of
Agricultural Organizations
(FAO) for the purpose of blue-
printing a plan,
The question today, ten years
later, is what have the member
governments done to put it to
work?

gestions, wise or foolish, and all

or destructive and will try 10

Easy Does It, Fellowsl—Umpire Glen Roberts has his hands full
at Ebbetts Field as Chicago Cubs catcher Clyde McCullough moves
toward Dodger coach Billy Herman (being held by Roberts) dur-
ing a third inning argument. The argument began when Brook-
lyn's Pee Wee Reese was permitted to take only one extra base,
instead of two, on a bad throw by Cubs' Bubba Church.
Hockey - Baseball - Football -
Horseracing. Without getting out
the slide -rule and calipers, we
would say that these four pas-
tinies occupy from 80 to 90% of
the space devoted to sport in the
average newspaper.
k ,r
And yet riot one of the lour is
the sport that's played by more
people, than any other. Thirty
years ago—yes, twenty years ago
—soccer occupied the Number
One slot. But nowadays it's Bas-
ketball leading the field, with the
rest trailing,
* * e
All of which comes to mind
because of the news that the
famous Harlem Globe Trotters
are just back on this side of the
Atlantic after a seventeen -count-
ry, three -continent tour which
grossed over a million dollars.
During Coronation the colored
boys packed Wembley Stadium
in London, England. Some eight
weeks later they were perform-
ing before a sell-out crowd in
Cairo, before a cheering mob of
be-fezzed Egyptians. Those lads
certainly do get around, and no
fooling.
Nobody can do more with the
thirty -inch "round bag of, wind"
than the Harlem Globetrotters,
Nobody can 'sink fancier baskets,
Nobody can spring more laughs
out of a game that is supposed
to be strictly dribble, pass, and
shoot. And nobody—not even the
perennial champion Yankees of
baseball, nor Notre Dame's gold-
en boys of football—can, rate with
the Trotters as a year-round box-
office bonanza.
it
As a fabulous sports attraction
unmatched anywhere, the Globe-
trotters can be faulted on only
one count: their games are sev-
enty per cent competition, thirty
per cent vaudeville. Yet none
but a sports purist can avoid be-
ing converted—because, after all,
this show is a hundred per cent
talent. Whether involved in
straightforward basket ba 11,
astounding acrobatics, or side-
splitting comedy, the Trotters al-
ways operate on a genius level of
imagination and evecution.
+r a 5
Ever see thele stagger the op-
position with a series of blind
passes? Ever see them drop-kick
the ball into the basket? Ever
see them switch to a baseball -
game pantomime right in the
middle of a basketball rally?
Ever see them slyly smuggle a
round loaf of pumpernickel bread
into the game, then bring down
the house by taking angry bites
out of the "ball"? A hundred
million people all over the world
have seen these stunts in the past
quarter century..

How diel it all start? Credit a
five -foot -three maestro named
Abe Saperstein, This British -born
Barnum of basketball attended
high school in Chicago. After-
ward, he organized a neighbor-
hood team called the Savoy Big
Five. They were sponsored by a
ballroom in Chicago's Negro sec-
tion. Impressed by their skill and
showmanship, Saperstein decided
to take them barnstorming.
5 5 5
Abe renamed his team the Har-
lem Globetrotters, to indicate (a)
they were colored and (b) they
were willing to travel. In their
initial season of 1927, the Trot-
ters toured the East in a broken-
down bus. Some nights they
earned as little as five dollars
when the hat was passed around
after a game. But today the Har-
lem Globetroters are a multimil-
lion -dollar enterprise, drawing
over $1,000,000 in salaries. Their
business headquarters .occupy an
eleven -room suite in Chicago,
three rooms in New York, and
similar space in their Pacific
Coast and Paris branch offices.
5 * *
In his time, Saperstein has
been stone broke with his team
in Lonesome Woman Gulch,
British Columbia. But the pint-
sized promoter and coach has
also, with his team, been blessed
by the Pope at the Vatican in
Rome,
The Trotters have drawn an
audience of 31,648 in the Rose
Bowl, 50,041 at Rio de Janeiro,
40,000 in three days in Paris. In
all countries, in all languages,
spectators hail Goose Tatum and
his Herculean hands, Marques
Haynes and his electrifying drib-
bling, and all the other stars of
the Harlem Globetrotting troupe.
b e 4
No small pleasure of basket-
ball's rating as the world's num-
ber -one sport can be credited to
the Globetrotters. They have
spread the gospel of the game to
the far reaches of the globe...
to the Metalatkah Indians on An-
nete Island off Alaska, and to the
laborers in the sugar -cane fields
of Luzon in the Philippines. They
have played in the rain in Lyons,
France; in the blazing SUB on
the beach at Casablanca, North
Africa; and in a barn loft of a
Nebraska hamlet.
a ,
They've done a great job of
selling this Canadian -inspired
game to the world; and they've
also done a whole lot towards
breaking down obnoxious color -
lines in many places.
HER WORRY
Two elderly ladies checked in-
to a sporty new hotel in Miami
Beach. The first thing they no-
ticed was a furtive little man
circulating from guest to guest in
the lobby, whispering and collect-
ing money. They were told he
was a bookie—a man who took
bets on the horses.
In vacation abandon, they de-
cided impulsively to risk two
dollars themselves. They lost.
That night one of the ladies tos-
sed around in her bed and sigh-
ed so lugubriously that the other
counseled her, "Becky, you
shouldn't cry so over spilled
milk, Stop worrying because
you lost. It was only two dol-
lars," "It ain't losing I'm wor-
rying about," Becky answered.
"I was worrying about if we had
won, Whatwould we have done
with the horse?"
