Sports — And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic')
It has long been customary for us
sports fans to assume the superior
attitude of being wiser, tougher -
minded, and infinitely harder to fool
than the non -sporting public. Person
.ally,* we are beginning to suspect,
instead, that we are just about the
biggest suckers and softest touches
on earth -the kind that vfitl'hold still
for almost anything money -hungry
promoters care to dish out.
* 5.
The Toronto Argonauts -to single
,out just one from many -recently
played two games in Winnipeg, to
large and profitable assemblages,
with a bunch of athletes, many of
whom hadn't been even formally in-
troduced to one another. They then
journeyed to Ottawa for a regular
league game; and it required no ex-
pert eye to discern that they were
still a couple of weeks short of evert
passably decent playing forst. Its
other words they—and all the rest of
them—were learning their rudiments
and getting their preliminary train-
ing in public, and at public expense.
• * *'
Now if Sir Ernest MacMillan, for
example, were to announce that he
was starting a new symphony orch-
estra, and then invite music -lovers
to attend his early rehearsals at reg -
lac concert prices, we dotibt that he'd
get/very far, Or if an automobile
manufacturer, readying an entirely
new model, were to ask folks to pur-
chase sane during the period when
1t was undergoing road-lcsts, and
before its bugs had been ironed out,
we imagine he'd run the rise: of
bcbig laughed to of business. Yet we
hard-boiledsports addicts, year after
year, fall for exactly that sort of
thing, and with hardly 1 murmur at
that.
• * *
It has kung been one of our favorite
dreams to attend some such Contest,
with tlse athletes appearing pounds
overweight, short of wind, and with
no desire beyond going through the
motions as painlessly as possible—
and then have the referee declare it
NO CONTEST and tell the folks to
demand their money back. We have
grave doubts about ever living that
long—hut still we can dream, can't.
we?
Draw poke' is undoubtedly the
finest of all card games; and it is a
great mercy indeed that the ladies
have never taken to it to any large
extent. This pious drought comes`
right after rending the statement of
the winsome young miss Who placed
third in the "lilies America" contest.
With a perfectly straight face she
declared she was really very glad she
hadn't sown lop honors, as it would
have meant ilia obscuring of her
!=bliss Canada" title which meant so
wench to her. Just imagine silting in
a game suitlz one like that, and trying
to figure whether she was bluffing
or tot!
• * 5'
The quality known as 'color' in
an athlete cannot be exactly defin-
ed; or, if it can we don't intend
lo;bore you mere than usual by try-
ing to do so. But it gists, never-
theless, and stands out just as pro-
1i1i11e11tly as a shiner on the eye of
an. usher at a church wedding. It's
worth money too, both to the ath-
lete himself, and at the box-oFfice
—although really, stow we conte to
think of it, those two are one and
the sane thing.
* * *-
Take for instance, the cases of
George Herman Ruth and .john
Alizc, just 16 years ago, when The
Babe was setting hie all-time
home -run record, the whole world
was watching• with intense excite-
ment, and every time he bust an-
other one it was front-page news.
Today as we write this, Mr. Mize
is aheacCof Ruth's mark of the sante
date, and is a real threat to top hint
at season's end, But tell anyone
that Johnny Mize has bit another
four -bagger, and the chances are
the response, if any, will be "So
what?"
* * *
The difference? Babe Ruth had
the quality which kept every eye
glued to hila even if he was only
striking out, or blowing the suds
off another seidel of soda -pop: while
his present-day rival, to the man in
the street, is just another guy named
Johnny, It's color that does it—
ancl it pays off too, but big!
5' *
Id's note that some of our con-
temporaries are protesting against
the modern trend toward longer
skirts. As a veteran observer, who
has watched the /tetn-line climb all
the way from sero -]!inns to 120%
in the shade, and back again, we
would advise them to be of good
cheer and sane their breath. In the
first place, nothing a mere male
could possibly say eciil ever make the
slightest difference anyway.
* 1' 4:
Secondly, we can recall some fair-
ly exciting and pleasurable anontents
even in the eras when skirts trailed
for in the dust, and a windy day
drew many 30(0551 onlookers io down-
town corner's "for to admire and for
to sec" as Mr. Kipling put it. Suck
memories bring to mind the remark
of the London bus -conductor to the
lady reluctant to •mount to the upper
deck in the presence of observers.
"Just go right ahead, lidy,". he. ad-
vised iscr, "1'111 directly behind you—
'and I Might inform you that, to a
malt /51 Illy position, legs ain't .a bit
of a treat."

We would like to be the first to
give you the absolute low-down on
the coming World Series between
New Fork Yankees and Brooklyn
Dodgers; and if tlfe latter should
fail to get in, the same thing goes
tor the Cardinals. Regardless of
which has the better hitting, field-
ing or Base -running averages, the
series will he w'on by the teats that
gets the better pitching; and the
quality of baseball displayed will be
greatly inferior to what has been
seen ill the past. It always is; and
ten years front now the experts will
be fondly recalling the mighty clubs
that used to perform back in M6
and 1947;
* * y
The 1!lesl protest 700 have heard
about modern automobile stylings
routes front a lolly 7e/10 attended -orie
of the hlaralhoi saeims at the Can-
adian t\'ational Exhibition. "It's sim-
ply ridculons," she said. "Half the
cars parked at the waterfront had
Ito miming boards, and there wasn't
any place to sit doter and eat
hunch!" And so streamlining, too,
teould seen! to have its drawbacks as
well as its advantages.
To Steam Press
To steams press, cover fabric with
' a dry wool press cloth, then with a
cotton cloth dampened in warns
water. Use a Ia tis ia•011, set down,
then lift it—dont slide it hack and
forth.
If there is still a shine after this,
try raising the •nap with a clean
brush or rubber sponge.

Those NAw campus Sweaters
Yipe' and Yow: Nave you no-
ticed the trend of those nets cam-
pus -styles of sweaters? The
sloppy-joe is a has-been, Yes,
form fitting sweaters are the cur-
rent trend and we do think you'll
agree that they are much more
feminine than the potatoc sacks
we have been loking at for the
past three 'years. We hope the
girls will soon slide into the
current designs, although we have
no doubts, but that they will.
Debates Are Good
Debates are always a . lot of
fun — at least we think so. It
puts you on the beans and clears
the mind of a lot of otherwise,
flunky air. With fall fairs, school
fairs and the like being the
highlights of the moment, debat-
ing teams will be polishing up
for the annual contests with
their near -by neighbors. During
a debate is one time, it does not
pay to be ignorant,
The Coke and Malt Drinkers
We had to admire the spunk
of two teen-agers, who recently
took Life Magazine to task for
their continual picturing the
typical teen-ager as a coke -suck- •
ing, malt-slobberer with nothing
to do but hang oui at the local
drug store lists ling to Frank
Sinatra while hol'diilg hands under
the table, The gals in their letters
to the editor, stressed the al im-
portant fact, that: many of the
kids of today like to sit down
occasionally and are far too often
fed up with the way, radio and
the movies try to portray them.
We think that the kids around
our town are no different from
kids of other places and the most
of the younger set here, have
already made up their minds what
they want to be. You would he
surprised to learn that most of
them want a professional career
such as doctors, dentists, etc.
Congrats to the Soap Boxers
We are not thinking of racing
derby's, but of the four kids who
Won the recent public speaking
contests at the C.N.E. We
couldn't get the names of the
winners itt time for this deadline
but we know that Sudbury, Osh-
awa and Brantford were among
the four top winners and re-
ceived cash prizes from. the hands
of .the President of the ".Ex." If
anyone ever tells those kids to
go grab a soap box, they'll be
able to do it and slake a good
job of it.
C..N.E Clears Up a Matter

The writer, along with thous-
ands of others felt very, very
sorry for the gal in the iron -lung
at the CNE, until reading in
Canadian Iligh news, that the

perfectly good lungs and is putt-

Suspicions Confirmed
Swedish Cyclists
The two cyclists described
themael\'es - as ''employees" - on
vacation. As they rode across
Sweden's northern military zone,
snapping pictures and asking
questions, they seemed like or-
dinary tourists, relates Newsweek.
But their strong accents made po-
lice Suspicious.
Last week these suspicions were
confirmed, In Stockholm, the
Swedish Foreign Ministry ident-
ified the apparently harmless
travelers as attaches of the Soviet
Legation. In an interview with
the soviet charge d'affaires, the
Swedes protested the Russians'
trip, 'made despite repeated warn-
ings that the area along the Fin-
ish border had been closed to for-
eingers. Thc jittery Swedish press
called the trip "a case of espionage,"
