Sports — And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic')
The people of the United States
'claim -perhaps rightly—to lead the
world in most lines of human en-
deavor. Some of those claims we
might be inclined to challenge just a
trifle. But when it comes to slopping
over into sickly sentimentality, we
freely admit they are tops This
somewhat acid thought comes to
mind on reading a front-page story
to the effect that the race horse
MAN 0' WAR is to be embalmed,
then buried in a silken -lined oak
Coffin—and that the city of. Lexing-
ton,
exington, Kentucky had gone into mourn''-
ing over his passing. '
Now MAN 0' WAR was un-
doubtedly quite a race -horse — al-
though by no ,leans the unbeatable
ball -of -fire some of his adulators
would have you believe. We saw
hits run a couple of tinges; and while
we make no claim to he a real judge •
of horseflesh, we had an idea that
some of his superiority was due to
the fact that he didn't have so very
much to beat. To us he calls to mind
the ancient saying "In the country
of the blind, the ole -eyed elan is
king."
* * y.
However, he caught the public
fancy; and his owners were smart
enough to retire him at the peak of
his fame. Whenever some sports
cobbler found himself clown Lexing-
ton way, and short of something to
write about, he would turn out a
piece about "Big Red"—and 'so the
horse became something of a legend
during his lifetime. Still, sluff like
"Man 0' War did more for this com-
mullity than any other creature,
human' or animal." Silk -lined cofliul
Black -ribboned floral'wreaths in shop
windows. Twenty gallons of embalm-
ing fluid! Maybe we're a bit too
squeamish but, somehow or other, it
all gives us a sickish feeling.
* * *
There are many who /hail the
abandon.ntent of price controls as a
triumph for the system of free enter-
prise—and personally we believe that
there is just as great danger in too
notch governmental control as there
is in too little. Still, if there were
only otic solitary occasion when
dropping of controls was followed
by a drop iu prices, instead of an
immediate increase, it would be a
rather pleasant change, and a boost
for "free competition" as. well.
Ki y; *
By no meads for the first time,
Conn Smythe has proved himself to'
be just about the most far-seeing
operative in hockey. Everybody else
connected with the game recognized
the sorry plight of the Chicago
]Slack Hawks—but the Maple Leaf
boss was the only one, apparently,
who foresaw how the Hawks weak-
ness (night eventually prove bad for
the entire league, and did something
about it. For in a small group like
the N.I'I.L, one bad team could be as
dangerous as one rotten apple in a
biuret of good ones,
* * *
But with hockey business as good
as it is, and folks fairly falling over
themselves to get tickets, everybody
else: just sat still and let the Black
Hawks steadily become more painful
to watch. But now Stnythe has pro -
i idcd them with what looks like the
Cheque written on sealskin is viewed at Montreal by .athlete
Carpenter (left) Bank of Montreal librarian, and Patricia
MacArthur, assistant librarian. Cheque is a prize specimen
in, collection of Canadian and foreign coins and currency odd-
ities owned by the bank, which marked its 130th birthday
last week.
makings of an entirely new team—
and before too long this ,love should
prove of real value, not only to
Chicago, but to the box offices of all
ether five teams.
* * *
We wouldn't advise you to feel too
sorry for Smythe either. While he
. has done his good decd toward the
Hawks, we don't figure he has done
too badly for his Maple Leafs either.
In getting Max Bentley he has matte
the Toronto team just about a cinch
to repeat last year's triumph—for if
Bentley could be one of the league's
outstanding performers in his Chi-
cago surroundings, he should rise to
real heights with the sort of support
his new teammates can give hint.
* * *
It will be interesting, too, to watch
the future career of Rookie Cy
Thomas, tossed in with Bentley as
part of the five for two swap. For it
is just within the bounds that he
might turn out to be worth more
than all five Leafs involved. We're
not saying he will -but it could be.
We have said some harsh things
about Conn Smythe in the past—and
probably will be in the future. But
when it comes to evaluating the fu-
ture possibilities of a hockey player,
Ontario Bees May
Summer In North
Ofpassing interest to those in
Northwestern- Ontario is news
front the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege than in the future bees may
come north with the birds ill the
spring. The district of Temiskam-
ing and Cochrane have already' ex-.
Iiericnced the migration, several
thousand colonies having been
nioved up there by truck this sum-
mer,
lmtier, says the Fort William Times -
Journal. It is expected that about
10,000 colonies will go north in
1948:•.
The transference of bees is not
newin the United States, From
California, bees are moved thou-
sands of miles each year, following
the various honey crops. The first
is the orange honey in the south,.
ending up with the clover flow iii
the north.
The new trend in Ontario is in-
dicated by the fact that the produc-
tion of honey, has not proven pro.
fit table in several sections of South.
ern Ontario. By bringing the little
workers to the north, the 'beekeep-
ers can obtain a crop from the
clover during July and then move
to the burned -over areas for fire-
weed honey, during August.
That's Different
Pat: Lend lie a shovel to get my
friend out of the bog,
Farmer: I3ow far has he sunk
down?
Pat: Up to his ankles.
Fanner; Can't he get out him-
self?
Pat: Ah, but he fell in head first.
we rate him as tops—and would hate
to try and swap with hint, even if he
gave us the fust three picks.

Riding on a bus the other morning
we happened to sit -next a High
School teacher of our acquaintance.
Thinking to cheer thin up a little, we
read him a few lines appearing in
that day's paper. "Next to the
Church, the teaching profession is
the highest calling in the land. On
our teacher's, to a great extent, de-
pends the whole life and nature of
Canada. After informing him that
these were the worda of the Premier
of Ontario, we asked Rini if suet!
nicethings didn't make hits feel
proud. "They'd make me feel a lot
better," he replied, somewhat bitter-
ly, "if my grocer or coal -dealer
Would accept then in place of cash!"
* * *
Probably you've heard this one
before, but if you have, you're not
going t0 stop us anyway. Ti's about
the Sunday School Teacher who was
talking about different sorts of
thirsts. 'Sorge people thirst after
righteousness," he said, "otters thirst
after learning, wealth, fame or ex-
citement. Aron,, just what do yon
boys thirst after!" From the back
row piped up a small 7'oire—"Right
after salted peanuts."
