Nagging Headache—Whinnying his appreciation, Mizzen ?viast
accepts Mrs. Robert N. \Veltzel's offer of a couple of aspirins
crushed in sugar. The two-year-old isn't suffering from a
hangover, but from occupational worry. Strictly a youngster
in the racing business, having made only a couple of starts, the
horse got a headache just wondering how he will do against
those '`veterans" next time out.
To the surprise of almost nobody
those Chicago Cubs were moping
around the depths of the National
League sub -basement; and even if
Manager Charley Grimm couldn't
have harbored any great hopes of a
pennant -contender with the assort-
ment of talent he had managed to
collect, still he wasn't any too well
pleased with the way his alleged
team bad been going.
* * *
One evening, after the Cubs had
dropped a tough decision, Grimm sat
in his hotel room staring moodily—
we might have said "grim-ly" but
• we'll spare you that—out of the
window. In came Andy Lotshaw,
trainer of the Chicago outfit,`
* * *
"You don't need to tell me, 1
knc'w how you feel, Charley," re-
marked Andy in tones of deepest
sympathy,. "1'm the sail-}• g way I
I jii t tried to eat 3Ui'Yie dinner, but
the food tasted just like sawdust
and I couldn't eat a bite."
* * *
After the trainer had left Grimm
played a hunch. He phoned down
to the hotel dining -room and asked
them to send up the dinner -check
that Lotshaw had just signed. It
read something like this; shrimp
cocktail, soup, double steak with
all the trimmings, two pieces of
pie, ice cream and coffee• Total,
around seven dollars.
* * *
When he had read it Grimm let
out a roar, and bounded out of the
room gunning for Lotshaw. How-
ever, Andy's spot of "sympathy"
had turned the trick. Charley
Grimm wasn't mad any more—at
least not about losing that ball
game. * *
A column or so back we referred
to the late Joe Jacobs, fight manager
extraordinary and generally known
as "Yussel the Muscle." While
alive Joe was often confused, in the
minds of the public; with Mike
Jacobs, the fight promoter, who has
just bowed out of the fight business
where, for so long, he ruled almost
alone.
* *
There are a Trillion tales told
about Mike too—perha.pe, none of
them saltier than the one about
how he took care of the $80,000
cash which he personally took away
from Soldiers Field in Chicago the
night of the second Tunney-
Dempsey brawl.
* * *
The Windy City was quite a
tough spot in those days and, rather
naturally, Mike was somewhat wor-
ried over packing so much ready
money` around. He gave a motor-
cycle cop twenty dollars to take
him to the hotel in the side -car,
but t•ven when there in his room
he felt by no means at ease.
* * *
"T figured that if some of those
tough mobsters knew I had it they
alight try to stick me up, even if
they had to jimmy the door open;
so I wanted to be ready for them.
Before the fight there had been a
party in the room and there were
a lot of champagne bottles lying
around, most of them empty but a
few still filled. So I got a long table
and stacked it with bottles. Then
I sat down at the table, facing the
door. If anybody tried to get in I
was all set to grab the phone and
holler for the law. But if they got
in before the cops arrived, I was
going to heave bottles at then."
* * *
jitike sat there all the balance of
the night, prepare( to go into his
g"ass-juggling act on short notice;
but nothing happened, Came the
dawn, as the Hollywood script-
writets used to phrase it, but still
the Jacobs' brow was wrinkled with
care. The eighty G's were safe, so
far, but there was still the problem
of getting it to the bank.
* * *
"I was afraid somebody might be
laying for me and stick me up on
the way to the jug," Mike says,
"for in them days they would do
things like that to you in Chicago
as soon as Took at you—or even
sooner—even in broad daylight.
* * *
"So 1 sat there wondering what
the heck to do, and then I hap-
pened to think of a niece of mine
who had two little girls around five
or six years old so I phoned and
told her to fetch them around to
the hotel. So when they got there
we pinned the dough inside the two
kids' little panties and my niece
took them around to the jug where
I met them a little later and
deposited the eighty grand."
* * *
With most men, you would put
a tale such as that down to—well,
imagination, but not Mike Jacobs,
who was a character straight out of
Damon Runyon, a man who started
as a hustler, scalping theatre tickets,
operating nickel side shows and so
forth, and who ended up as the
biggest figure in the immensely
profitable fight promotion racket,
* * *
Now he's departed, and the game
has drifted into the hands of fin-
anciers such as the Norrisses, who
own or control—among other things
—at least three of the six Arenas
in which Big League hockey is
played. There's little doubt that
they're far better and more con-
ventional business men than Mike
Jacobs ever dared to be; but we
wouldn't mind placing a small bet
that, when they pass out of the
picture, there won't be nearly as
many, or as amusing, yarns told
about them.

GERMANY
Our Canadian way of thinking
is greatly colored by United States
press dispatches, magazines, movies
and radio ---far too greatly so in the
opinion of many,
So it is with a feeling of real.
satisfaction that I reprint here an
editorial appearing in the Christian
Science Monitor, published in Bos-
ton, which says something which
greatly needed saying, and is worthy
of the widest publicity north of
the 13order, 11 ere it is,
"Recently there was a great
splurge in the press of the United
States about that stupendous Amer-
ican achivenlent, the Berlin airlift.
The only thing wrong with this
picture was the terminology. The
airlift, as it happened, was an
Anglo-American achievement.
"Approximately one-third of the
joint effort was British, paralleling
the comparative resources of the
two nations. The cost to British
taxpayers was $26,000,000, and 23
British aircrew were lost in the
operation, as compared to 27 Amer-
icans.
"The comparisons' are unimport-
ant as such• What is important is
the solidarity of purpose and the
close technical teamwork which
made this marvel of achievement
possible. The rift occasioned by
the Boston tea party finds no place
in the lift provided by the .Berlin
sky party."
To every word of which all Cana-
dians who still take pride in a Brit-'
ish heritage or background . can
heartily say "Amen;" although,
possibly, the first sentence in the
third paragraph might have been
omitted. Such comparisons—such
information is important.. Ask any
group of Canadian school kids
about the Berlin airlift, and the
chances are that three out of five
of them would say that "the Yanks
did it'all." An' it shouldn't be so!

GREAT BITAIN
Nationalism, the main strongpoiilt
in the policy line of Britain's La-
bor Party, is coming wilder some
sharp fire just now.
The fire comes from a some-
what unexpected direction—from
socialists and trade unionists.
A heavy broadside has just been
aimed at the National Coal Board
by the Fabian Society — an influ-
ential back -room group of social-
ists, whose early history is studded
with names like George Bernard
Shaw, H. G. Wells, and even Prem-
ier Clement R. Atlee himself.
The Fabians approve national-
ization in theory, But they declare
themselves "shocked" by the work-
ers' own critical reactions to this
particular example in practice.
Research workers of the Fabian
Society polled a "sample" selection
of 88 coal miners and union officers
to discover industry's own views
about nationalization. Of that total,
84 replies supported criticisms of
the Coal Board as a swollen, bur-
eaucratic machine.
The Fabian Society declares that
while the average, miners' support
for the ,Labor Government and of
the theory of national ownership
of the coal industry remains unim-
paired, their poll reveals "a serious
situation calling for prompt action."
Friction Cited
"We cannot feel it desirable or
necessary that nationalization
should involve as much friction and
frustration in the first 21/2 years as
it has in present case," the report
declares.
THE UNITED STATES
A little over three years ago,
at an "American First" meeting in
Chicago, one of the speakers was •
the Rev. Arthur W. Terminiello,
a Roman Catholic priest from Ala-
bama, who was then under sus-
pension by his Bishop for utter-
ances "detrimental to his church
and the unity of our country." (He
has since been reinstated by the
church.)
At the meeting in question
Father Termniello's speech was vi-
olent. While, outside the hall, an
angry crowd of protestors chanted,
threw bricks and stench bombs, he
attacked "atheistic, communistic
Jewish or Zionist Jews" and spoke
of "slimy scum," "snakes" and "bed-
bugs."
After the Meeting Father Ter-
miniello was arrested, tried and
fined $100 for disorderly conduct
on the ground that his speech had
stirred the public to anger and cre-
ated a disturbance. He appealed,
and a few days ago the United
States Supreme Court threw out
the conviction on constitutional
grounds.
The verdict was by no means
unanimous, the nine justices split-
ting five to four;, -and this close
vote in the Supreme Court clearly
reflects a decided conflict of opinion
on such matters. On the one hand
there are those who, like the court
majority, advocate the widest lati-
tude in expression of opinion, no
matter from what quarter that ex-
pression comes. On the other hand
there are those who, like the court
minority, feel that extremists must
somehow be restrained lest they go
so far as to destroy eventually all
freedoms of speech.
Just what effects this Supreme
Court decision will have on the trial
of 11 alleged Communist leaders in
New York does not appear at this
writing. But to an unbiased onlook-
er it would seem strange if Father
Terminiello could get away with
such expressions he still used, and
the Communist leaders be very
severely punished. However, in the
United States—and elsewhere —
it seems quite possible to make
"fish of one and flesh of another,"
and do so legally. In any case, the
professional Jew and negro-baiters,
especially in the Southern states,
are doubtless quite happy over the
whole thing.
