for number of games played by a shortstop, veteran infielder Luke
Appling of the Chicago White Sox posed amiably for a photographer
to prove that the old rockin' chair hasn't got him yet. Luke was

Bobby Locke, after winning the
(British Open Golf Championship
last month, decided to take part in
some exhibition games over there.
At the same time he expressed the
hope that such affairs wouldn't
keep him in England too long.
* * *
"There's a lot of sugar over in
the United States," the rather cock -
:stare South African is reported to
have said, "and I certainly hope to
get back there by Fall."
* *
But right now it looks as though
Bobby could take a slow .freight in-
stead of a fast plane across the
Atlantic, and still not do his bank-
roll any too much harm. Alleging
that Locke had been guilty of 'with-
drawing from "numerous" events
In the United States after commit-
ting himself to participate, Bobby
was rued ineligible for any future
tournament sponsored by the Na-
tional Professional Golfers Associa-
tion. And that means practically
every United States tournament
worth Locke spending time even.
* * *
Now it is no intention of ours to
get out the crying -towels over Mr.
Locke's plight. We gave up attend-
ing golf tourneys as soon as we saw
thein developing into one of the
most over -publicized rackets in
sport, and that's quite some -years
ago. And we understand, from
those who have been more or less
closely associated with him, that
Mr. Locke is—veil, somewhat hard
to take. "Bobby Locke's all right,"
was the way one golfer of our ac-
quaintance expressed it, "if you
happen to like Bobby Locke."
* *
Still, to give everybody his due,
we don't think that the National
Professional Golfers Association of
the United States comes out of the'
affair with flying colors exactly. In
isrct, to us the whole thing has a
sather smelly atmosphere. The nub
of the matter lies in the statement
that, since he first started paying
visits to "God's country" back in
3947, Bobby Locke has packed
away "sugar" to the amount of
$50.712.
* * *
If that figure had been five
grand, instead of fifty, do you
Imagine that those great sportsmen,
the American pros, would have
been so ready and anxious to bar
his further entries: If you do—well,
go right up to the head of the class
as one of the world's great be-
lievers.
* *
Just what the harness -horse
game has developed into during
recent years is seen In SOme facts
and figures regarding the recent
meet at Westbury, N.Y. in which
GR..TTAN McKLYO stepped
two miles in the record-breaking,
time of 4.16 and 4'5ths—which is
home stepping, at that. And when
you read those facts and figures.
you won't wonder why Canadian
Thoroughbred racing men shudder
evert; time somebody dy mentions
Answer to Crossword .Puzzle
opening a big-time harness track-�
with night racing—on this side of
the Border.
* * *
The crowd• that watched GRAT-
TAN McKLYO pace his two miles
numbered 29,619 — and they wag-
ered, during that one evening over
a million dollars — $1,076,601 to be
exact. That is a lot of people, and a
heap of money, and you can bet all
the tea in China, plus all the coffee
in Brazil, that a lot of Canadian
sports promoters are studying them
long, longingly, and with intent to
sect. * * *
'They have mutuels instead of
books on these modern American
tracks, of course; and the winner—
highly favored by the crowd—paid
his backers $6,50; $5.10; and $$3.60
across the board. (With the books,
we imagine he'd have been about
2 to 5, out, out). The second horse,
$19.90 and $10.10; while ROYAL
MAN, finishing in the third slot,
paid $3.20 for show, coupled with
two others as an entry.
* * *
Canadian horses didn't do so
well. DR. STRATTON — which
went to the post favorite in the
same event a year ago — did a lot
of pacing in the first mile but ap-
parently ran out of gas after that.
With his veteran owner, "Lindy"
Fraser of Forest, Ont., in the
driver's seat, DR. STANTON
stopped to a walk and eventually
wound up fifteenth.
* *
*
Only one other Canadian side-
wheeler faced the starter- That was
STEWART DIRECT from Hugh
Stewart's Peterborough, Ontario
stables. He gave a mast creditable
performance, finishing fifth—which,
in a bulky field of that kind, isn't
doing so badly after all.
* * *
Finally, lest some of you might
think that big-time harness racing
malls for a mile or better track, we
might say that Roosevelt Raceway
is only a half -mile affair. That is to
say, the horses in the Nassau two-
mile pace had to travel four -times -
around the racing strip, which
makes GRATTAN McKLYO'S
performance more noteworthy.
SALESMAN
"Excuse me, sir," said a shabby
caller at a City office, "are you sat-
isfied with the amount of your pres-
ent life insurance?"
"Yes," replied the manager shortly,
"Could I interest you in a morocco -
bound edition of the works of
Thackeray ?"
"You could not."
"Would you invest in a good
second-hand cornet if you could get
it cheap:.'
"No!"
"Just so! Would an offer to sup-
ply you with first-class imported
Havana cigars at ten dollars n
hundred appeal to you?"
"Nat a bit!"
"That being the case," said the
caller, "would you be willing to
buy a tin of shoe polish, just to get
rid of nee?"
"Great Scot! 'des."
"Thanks! Geo day!"

PALESTINE
Some .fourteen months ago Count
Folke Bernadotte of Sweden said
that the chances of restoring peace
between the Arabs and the Israelis
were about 100 to 1. in the interim
ten administrators and soldiers in
the service of the United Nations
died violently in the attempt.
But the "long shot" seems to
have come off. Just recently Berna-
dotte's successor—.Acting Meriator
Ralph J, Bunche—was able to re-
port to the Security Council that
"The mission of the Mediator has
been fufilled."
This was Bunche's final Palestine
report. With armistices arranged
,. between the Arab States and Israel
covering the entire fighting front,
he said that the job of negotiating
a definite peace settlement should
be left to the three-power—(Trance,
Turkey, the United States)—Con-
ciliation Commission at Lausanne
in Switzerland.
The commission's talk with Jews
and Arabs had bogged down last
June over the question of returning
to Israel the six or seven hundred
thousand Arab refugees put to
flight by the war. But under prod-
ding by the United States, Israeli
negotiators recently returned to
Lausanne prepared to make a
definite offer aimed at breaking the
jam — the acceptance of some one
hundred thousand of the .refugees
hi return for the Arab States' ac-
ceptance of a final and definite
peace treaty.
GERMANY
As chaplains read out the names
of 39 British and 31 American fliers
who had lost their lives in the great
Allied airlift to Berlin, the strains
of "The Last Post" and "Taps"
floated across the airfield at .Fass-
berg, in the British zone of Ger-
many. This Allied memorial service
marked the beginning of the end
of the unique operation.
Since the end of the Russian
blockade last May stockpiles of
food, gasoline and coal in the Ger-
man capital have grown to nearly
one million tons, and are becoming
too large to handle. So the 30,000
British and Americans who were
operating more than 300 airlift
planes are being gradually rede-
ployed. By the end of October less
than half the original number of
transport planes will remain in
Germany.
Just for the record: since Jun*
26, 1948 those flires carried'some
2,220.000 tons of supplies on nearly
275,000 flights totalling over a hun-
dred million flying miles. One one
day alone — last April 16 ; they
flew in 13,000 tons.
But there's always a drawback, it
seems. In Berlin, the discharge of
thousands of freight handlers will
add to an already serious unemploy-
ment problem. And those Berliners
who remain deep in the Russian
none of the city are likely to miss
the familiar, reassuring sound of
those friendly airp}ane engines
sounding from above.
GREAT BRITAIN
Were the 'good old days' really
so good, after all? was the question
brought to many British minds
when Vttime Minister Clement Att-
lee raked over some between -wars
history in an electioneering speech
toward the end of July. In it Attlee
flung at the Conservatives Winston
Churchr'li's recent blast at the "dis-
astrous rule" of the Labor Party.
"How disgraceful it is to try
and make people believe all our
difficulties are due to Socialist mis-
management" Then he quoted the
Conservative Party Chairman, Lord
Woolton, as having admitted that,
before the war, "not less than 25
per cent were suffering from mal-
nutrition—or improper feeding,"
and that between 1922 and 1939
Britain had an average of 1,700,000
unemployed.
"As for Mr. Churchill, I have
never been slow to acknowledge his
war service, but during the past
four years he has had a bad relapse
into irresponsibility and party
spite," quoth Mr. Attlee.
JAPAN
General Douglas McArthur has
ordered the Army to return local
Government to Japanese control by

Japanese welcomed the news, but

frightening new responsibilities. As
one Tokyo newspaper put ft, "The
series of violent outbreaks in recent
months cast a dark shadow."
The most threatening of these
outbreaks were organized by pris-
oners of war returning from Russia
in the repatriation of what the Sov-
iets claim are their last 95,000
Japanese prisoners -of -war. Thor-
oughly indoctrinated Communists
by now, they rioted on the docks,
staged sit-down strikes, and even
dragged one captain before a "peo-
ples' court" on board his own ship.
Japanese famiiles who ,had been
urging repatriation for the past
three years naturally expected to
find some Communistic tendencies
among those returning to their
native land; but now they are horri-
fied to find that these included utter
contempt for traditional personal
and family relationships, The full
- meaning of Communism is now
dawning on these "remain -at -
homes."
There are some authorities who
believe that the repatriates will turn
out to be a smaller and a less effec-
tive red weapon than either the
police or the Japanese communists
had anticipated. But most of the
really responsible Japanese fear
that these repatriations—coinciding
as they 'do with Communistesuc-
cessesin China—mark the opening
of an all-out Russian program for
the complete communization of
Japan.
