Sports
or A
d One
of 'r
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
Critic") '
There, in a nutshell, he came close
to hitting the real reason t:hy so
few people like both the Standard
Bred and Thoroughbred brands of
racing. Your running -horse addict,•
nine times out of ten, goes to the
track with visions of sudden wealth,
and considers any price of less than
two or three to one as extremely
stingy. Trotting -horse fans, on the
other hand, attend primarily for the
fun' of the sport, and if they bet at
all, are satisfied with smaller profits
and More certain returns. Person-
ally, we like both types about equally
-and can go broke at either with
about equal celerity.
* * *
..Reading the speeches made at the
variotm peace parleys, one can hard-
ly help being struck by the fact that,
though the world is admittedly in a
terrible condition, the spokesman in-
variably lads the blame on any
' country other than, his own. They
put us in mind of the old lady up in
Ilhatce County who remarked to a
neighbor, "What do you think
Father Finnigan said to. sue at con-
fession 'oday? He told me that I
confess the sins of every person in
the parish but myself!"
("A Sixhit
Complying with a public demand
:that would have.taken a microscope
of the highest power to even see,
our ever -thoughtful sports impre-
sarios have now served us ' mid-
August football, with the thermom-
eter topping the 90 degree mark. The
results were best described by Win-
ston Churchill in his immortal
phrase about "blood, sweat and
-tears." The athletes provided sweat
.a -plenty, blood in varying quantities
from bashed beezers and the like;
and tears were clearly observable in
the eyes of promoters vainly looking
for dividend -paying crowds that
failed to show tip.
* * *
Our personal reaction, after a very
brief look, was similar to the old
one about the character whose wife
coaxed him to church one morning
when the miliister's subject was "The
Prophets of the Bible." After two
hours and a half it looked as though
the preacher was finally running
short of wind; but, after a deep
breath, he began again with "We
have now dealt, first with the Major
Prophets and, second, with the
Minor Prophets; but now, brethren,
just what place must we ascribe to
-the Prophet Zechariah?"
* * *
At this, the character stood up in
his pew and said, "ff it's all the
same to the rest of the folks, the
Prophet Zecariah can have MY
place-I'ni going home" That, brief- ,
ly, is our position as regards 90 -in-
-the shade football -only for "go-
ing" you can read "staying".
'I' * *
The automotive industry has long
taken pride in its up-to-the-minute
merchandising methods; and if ind-
.tation is the sincerest form of
flattery, may feel flattered by an
incident recently reported to us.
Business was brisk at the little booths
where the overhead sign read
JUICY HAMBURGERS ONLY
5c. But wizen the hungry customer
finally secured one of the delicacies
he teas surprised when the price
demanded was just four times as
great. "The list price is five cents,"
.he was told in answer to his protest,
"but it's a nickel extra for each of
the accessories -onions, relish and
mustard."
* * *
Now we must confess to a really
•severe shock. Two or three weeks
ago Dick Irvin, of the Canadiens,
.came out with the breath -taking
statement that a goal -tender is 50%
,of a hockey team; which brought a
-prompt rebuttal from Conn Smyth,
in whose studied opinion a good cen-
ter forward is an even more valuable
•asset to a club.
* * *
Very naturally we fully expected
to see so vital a matter flare up -
with judicious fanning -into a rag-
ing controversy occupying column
after column of space, with reporters
madly dashing here and there to
secure the opinions, pro and con, of
anybody ever even faintly connected
with ice, from Hans Brinker to the
Sixth Vice President of the IIot
Shot Refrigerator Company.
* * *
But, alacicaday, nobody seemed to
give a hoot either way, and the
whole thing was just allowed to
drop. Now can it be that our sports
•editors no longer realize the supreme
importance of hockey as a national
assett, builder of character, and safe-
-guard against the inroads of Coin -
monism? Don't they know this is no
way to treat the pearls which drip
from the :ips of the master -minds?
.Or did the press agents -like the
football promoters already referred
to -just sluice a mistake in their
timing?
* * *
A friend of ours recently attended
tt harness horse meet in Toronto -a
Inert at which the attendance, inci-
dentally, would have been considered
a poor one in several Ontario vil-
lages we know. Asked his opinion
•of the sport, to which he was a
stranger, his answer was rather in -
terming. "It's gond fun," he said,
"hut it's leo darned honest --the
favorites come down in front almost
every time,"

TEEN -TOWN TOPICS
By BARRY MURKAR.
Well, it's just about over for
another yiar. `We are referring of
course to the
Canadian Nat-
ional
ational Exhibition
that re -opened
after five long
years. ft has
been a wonder-
ful two weeks
and thousands
of you out there
are probably
bathing your
poor, aching little tootsies while
you are reading this.
We won't go into detail on the
"Ex." as it is all history now;
but in passing we would like to
suggest that many of you drop a
thanks to Kate Aitken, Women's
Director of the "Ex." for the
swell job she did on Teen -Town,
that held capacity crowds every
day. The fashion shows, the radio
broadcasts, the record bar and the
dozen and one things they had at
Teen -Town for our. enjoyment all
adds up to -it was the best exhi-
bition yet.
Let's Face It
Back to school again for an
other year. To' many it will mean
another year before university; to
others it will mean no more nights
on the girl friend's veranda; while
to others it will be the usual big,
fat headache. However school
time is here, no matter how it af-
fects you. ,Longer dresses are
again the current style and pop
will be feeling the pinch as daugh-
ter insists that she must be up-to-
date. Junior, however, can still
slop along in last year's togs and
feel right at home. As far as we
know, boy's and men's clothing
has changed very little. We like to
think about the first day of the
new school term. Maybe because
the scene depicted in our home
is the same as in countless others.
Mom gets clown the lunch -pail
and dusts it off while the kids
sort out the year's text books and
hand them down to someone else.
Usually there is a mad scramble
at the last minute and morn is
near physical exhaustion by the
time she finds the last pair of
braces under the bed or the hair
decorations tucked away in a
drawer -that were purchased in
July for this gala occasion. Of
course there is always one conso-
lation in. the first day of school -
and that is getting out early.
Tuck a pear in your pocket, an
apple in your hand and away you
go,
Thrills
They tell us that newspaper
people get tired of .. string, "you
-meet Snell interesting people."
Honestly though. it's the truth.
We agree the people newspaper
writers meet are not always in-
teresting but occasionally they
provide a thrill. For instance, last
week we had the chance to try our
hand at reporting police court
news for the local weekly. There
were two young fellows up for
armed bank robbery and only re
cently they had made the head-
lines of the dailies. We hitch-
hiked a ride to court with two
police officers. On the way they
pulled up at the county jail. They
went in for a few minutes and
presently came out with the rob-
bers who were naturally hand-
cuffed. Never -the -less it was
somewhat of a thrill to ride to
court with the two men who we
were going to write about. Then,
too, we had the pleasure a few
weeks ago of hearing the famous
war -correspondent, Ross Munroe
speak on Russia. He doesn't be-
lieve there will be a war in our
time. Following his speech, which
of course was broadcast over the
local airwaves, we had the pleas-
ure of meeting him. As we shook
hands, the man introducing us
said to Mr. Munroe: "This .young
man is quite a student on foreign
affairs," to which Munroe re-
plied, "that's fine, I sure wish I
had more time to study the sit-
uation." Oh brother -and all the
time we were wondering where
Moscow is: 'But that's life. Only
yesterday we had: a phone call
from the talking -reporter, Jim
Hunter. Frankly we think we'll
take to this newspaper work ser- .
iously. We are beginning to find
out -that you meet such interest -
Eng people. '
Another Teen -Town Topics
It was interesting to learn a
few days ago that there was an-
other Teen -Town Topics column.
This one we refer to, appears in
one of the large dailies of Chi-
cago and is written by a„ teen-age
girl. Slit made a big hit recently,
when she was the only reporter
to get an interview with Presi-
dent Harry Truman. Why the
heck couldn't we get an exclusive
like that? This other Teen -Town
Topics is devoted wholly to in-
terviews with celebrities. ' 'We
mentioned doing something' of a
similar nature in the fall.
Foreign Correspondents
You, you or you may soon re-
ceive the appointment of being
official correspondent of your
town for this column. You will
be asked to send in news of your
teen club, its members and any
teen-age news of interest that hits
your town. We want to fill this
column with news of the various
clubs, and we are appealing to
you for help. When you get the
appointment, will you take your
pen in hand and send along the
news regularly? Thanks a mil-
lion.
Dogsand Cats Shun
This . N cetane Spray
Ornamental plants on front
porches, flowers and shrubs in
the front garden, and the corner
posts of por^lees may be protect-
ed from damage by clogs and cats
by file simple use of dilute nico-
tine- spray. The spray is harm-
less but its smell is very offen-
sive to cats and dogs, even when
applied so thinly that persons are
unaware of its presence,
The name of the material is
nicotine sulpl ate and may he
bought at any seed or drug store.
The spray is prepared by mixing
one-half teaspoon of the nicotine
sulphate with one gallops„Of water.
The spray evaporates and should
be renewed after rain, otherwise
in ,good weather spraying every
two''weeks is sufficient. Once they -
havF sniffed the spray, the dogs
will. patronize the other side of
the road in their favourite ram-
bles round the town. Sprayed on
small pieces of wood, the nicotine
will prevent cats from making
thein. nightly boudoirs among the
rows of the prettiest flowers in
the back -garden plots.
There are three kinds of people -
those who make good, those who
make trouble and those who make
excuses.
