es This colomn has been, since its origni,
dedicated to good sportsmanship. And al-
though horse -racing is an extremely
practical. business, we can't find a more
truly fair and sporting event in 1952 than
the running of the $50,0110.,international
in Maryland.
That an English -bred horse, flown across the Atlantic,
won the race, is beside the point. The sporting spirit in which
the race was conditioned is the thing that intrigues, and
wins admiration,
American horses race on dirt tracks. Flat races on the
turf are extremely rare on this continent. But in Britain and
Europe, the great percentage of races are staged on turf
courses,"And so, to give the foreign horses a fair chance the
Maryland race was held on the turf instead of a dirt track.
And the start was of a walk-up type, as used principally
overseas, instead of from the electrical starting -gate common-
ly used hi America.
mow, different from the other Daces of a similar type,
in other''. -years,. in which great horses ..were brought .from
England and Y+rance, to race against the cream of American
thoroughbreds, but were defeated under conditions strictly
Mirierncaih, whichgave the invaders little chance, partieu
lariy is in those days, the foreign horses were shipped by
•
boat. For the Maryland race, they were flown across.
When in.1923, Papyrus, winner of the Epsoln Derby that
year, was beaten by Zev, the Kentucky Derby victor, in a
'match race at Belmont, there was some American cheering
over what was rated the superiority of United States horse-
flesh to that bred on the other side of the ocean. But experts
grudgingly admitted that in the mud which happened to
prevail that day, a track condition entirely strange to the
British horse, Papyrus wasn't shod properly to combat the
track conditin. Even if he had been, it's doubtful if he
could have won. Papyrus had never before set his dainty
hoofs into mud, and that he was improperly shod in the
bargain gave him no chance in what was by no means a
real test of quality.
Then there was the case of "Spinach'the French racing
star Epinard, brought across in 1924, and pitted against
America's best horses at a variety of distances under. Ameri-
can racing conditions. He rail three times against two or
more American horses that represented America's tops at
the various distances, and: all the races were under American
racing conditions.
With the International of 1952, more fair and sporting
rules prevailed, designed to place no horse at a disadvantage,
nor to give an edge to any: The horses met on exactly equal
terms, and that, we believe rates the event as one conducted
in the spirit of true sportsmanship not excelled imi any event
of the year, anywhere.

1f—before the year 1953 is l:i-
nlshed—some character • should
.run a four -minute mile, or suc-
ceed in swimming the Channel
both ways, non-stop, he would
probably be a cinch to be named
Great Britain's "Sportsman of the
year". (Yes, apparently they go
.ixt for such goofy things over
there, too!) But, failing that the
.honor seems very likely to go to
a 34 -year-old cricket -ball chuck-
er, name of Alec Bedser.
Now we, personally, know as
Tittle about cricket as you do—
that is to say you couldn't pos-
sibly know less. But what bro-
ther Bredser recently pulled is a
:teat comparable to the Babe's
etouting sixty homers in a sea -
SOD, or some baseball pitcher tos-
sing an 18 -inning game without
a man reaching first.
* .t .t
Never since World War II, ac-
cording to Sydney Skilton, when
the British adopted the United
States custom of popularity
sports pools, has one candidate
been so outstandingly conspicu-
ous more than six months be-
fore the ballot is. given earnest
consideration. And never before
in the long history of "test" play
:has an England cricketer been so
overwhelmingly acclaimed by
both English and Australians
�l lilt's.
x ,
.Always has Alec Bedser, slight-
ly older than his batsman twin
brother Eric, had a reputation
for being a gallant trier. Lion-
hearted is how sports -scribes
;have dagged him. Yet despite
:his unceasing efforts and con-
ssistently good bowling which
kept him among the top in his
country he never revealed that
scintillating sparkle that every
close student of cricket really
believe to be there, That is until
this slimmer.
• Now against Australia in the
first of the five test matches that
sparkle broke through with daz-
zling brilliance. And Bedser tri-
umphantly enters cricket's an-
cient and scared portals as one
of its truly greats.
What put him there was his
match analysis at Nottingham,
when he claimed 14 Australian
wickets for 99 runs. It represents
one of the best feats of bowling
ever accomplished in test match
play anywhere. England versus
Australia at crocket has been a
nonstop series since 1867 and in
all those long years only two, the
Yorkshiremen Wilfred Rhodes
and Rediey Verity, have taken
more wickets-15—in a single en-
counter. And only one Austra-
lian, F.. R. Spofforth in 1882, has
ever equaled it.
„ ,
The triumph of Bedser in that
first test match was all the more
remarkable because it occured on
one of those "it can't be done"
occasions. In the first innings
Bedser had bowled his heart out
and his seven wickets for 55 runs
included an astonishing spell of
four for two runs. That spell,
accomplished when the ball was
new and shiny, dramatically
changed the gaine in England's
favor after it had been very
much in Australia's. But Eng-
land's batsmen failed to drive
home the advantage. To Austra-
Historic Touch.—Queen Elizabeth 11 (centre) hands back the gold
and jeweiled crown of', Scotland to the Duke of Hamilton in
St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland. The Queen had just
taken port in the "Little Coronation," accenting the crown of
the Scots. She is probably the first British monarch to touch he
crown. Standing behind her is her husband, the Duke of
Edinburgh,
lia's first innings total of 249 that
included a great captain's turn of
115 by Lindsay Hassett, England
could muster only 144.
4, :,
Then came Australia's second
innings. Bedser can't possibly, do
it again said the critics bearing
in mind Nottingham's past repu-
tation as a batsman's paradise
and the fact the playing field
looked as good as it had ever
been. but Bedser said. He again
claimed seven of the 10 Australi-
an. wickets—this time at the even
less' cost of 44 runs. Small wonder
Bedser was given a hero's place
at the head of the England eleven
as they walked off the field hav-
ing dismissed the Australians for
a mere 123—easily the lowest
tally in the post-war period.
B ,, *
Thus England was left with
only 228 runs to get in its secoiid
innings. to register the first ve-
tory over its traditional foehnn
Tome soil since )1938. It istnev
a • matter of history that heavy
rainfall caused 10 hours of. play,
on the last two days,,.to •be lost
and. the match loaded with , ex-
plosive episodes fizzled out into
a tame draw. England with three
hours of profitless and defenseful
cricket on sodden turf yiel.d,ed
only one wicket while gathering
120 runs -103 short of the requ-
ired total."
In.terest now switched to the re-
maining four tests, and in these
Bedser has a really wonderful
chance, now that he has struck
such brilliant .form, of passing
the biggest -ever total of wickets
taken in all test play. The record
stands to the credit of Austra-
lian's Clarrie Grimmet who be-
tween the years 1924-1934 cols
lected 216. Bedser's score at the
moment stands at 195, having
become the top Englishman at
Nottingham when he passed the
189 aggregate of Sidney Barnes,
a pre World War I stalwart from
Lancashire.
The Real Task o YIL.rabor and Management
But above all, 'we reco rflize frankly, I think, that no matter
how earnestly the leaders -re Gindustry may seek to do so, they will
never succeed in gaining in.strial peace until the leadership of La-
bor displays an equal des to attain it; for industrial peace—if
we are to achieve it at at, sm* be based an mutual confidence,
respect and understandi7s't-'.
Now, in saying that, 'I 'realize that it is always easier to see the
mote in the other fellow's eye; but it seems to me tliat the time has
come when responsible labor'leadership leadership ought to rid itself of two
old-fashioned and outworn ideas which seem to lie at the root of
most of our present difiitculties and which should have disappear-
ed along with the "Robbers Barons."
One of these is the wholly -unrealistic notion that Labor and
Management are natural and eternal enemies; and that 1, for ex-
ample, am in some way a foe, or antagonist, of the men who work
in our mills. Actually, of curse, we are fellow employees of the
same company, performing, different assignments in our mutual
interest, as the nature of our business requires.
The other is this disastrous idea that in order to bargain col-
lectively, we must sit on opposite sides of a table and try to take
something away froin each. other. Our real task, of C0UTSe, is to
join together in producing More wealth, not only for curst;'ivee, but
for our whole national economy,
--Benjamin F. Fairless.

It does not matter how weak
you think you are. You may be
weedy, pale -faced and short of
breath, but you are still stronger
than any two strong men.
Interlace your fingers and hold
thein against your chest, with
your elbows and wrists parallel
with the floor. In perfect safety
you may challenge two of the
strongest men you know to break
your grip by pulling your arms.
As they grip your arms, just
lower your elbows slightly, and
you will find that they can't
break your grip.
Lie comfortably on the floor
and challenge anyone to pick you
up, or even raise you from the
floor by your waist. You will be
quite safe in malting bets on it.
Al.l you do, as the man bends to
grip your waist, is to put your
left hand on his neck and grasp
his left wrist lxtith your right
hand.
As he exerts his ' strength to
lift you, merely press outward
with your left hand and down-
ward with, your right, and the
stronges weight -lifter in the
world will not be able to budge
