a sr or 3 James comes another o real standout. solar plexus punch. now? : | = ; 1 i Calvert $ Po i Ts ¢ OLUMN 1 by Elmer Ferguson ® TIMES CHANGE. Once the Irish ruled the prize-ring, but you don't see many Irish fighters, any more--no Ryans, no John L. Sullivans, no Terrible Terry McGoverns, 'no J. Corbetts, no O'Briens, no Bould: Michael McTigues.: There are no : more .0'Mahonys or Caseys at the wrestling peak, and the great Irish weight-tossers of other days, the Flan; ! agans and Ryans, don't seem to be around. : But the Irish are by no means out of top-flight sport. It may not have occurred to you, but: the' Irish come pretty close to holding top hand on the turf in this country. Ireland is a great horse-racing country, The Emerald Isle specializes in jumping horses and has sent many a winner to the most testing of a 'races, the Grand National steeplechase. ' . : . _. But right now, Irish-bred horses have played and are playing a big part in American racing. First there was the Irish-bred Noor that, on four successive occasions, defeated America's greatest modern race-horse, the mighty Citation in race thrillers seldom equaled anywhere and in 'which world records were smashed or tied, while the pride of Kentucky was being humiliated. Now the Irish, Windy City II, to breeze by Calumet Farm's best three-year-olds as though they were tied. This Irish-bred European juvenile champion of last year not "only has won two stakes for three-year olds this year, in America, beating Hill Gail and A Gleam--rated Calumet's best Derby hopes at this time--but came from behind, to win going away like a His victory in the San Felipe handicap at Santa Anita at one . mile and one-sixteenth--indicating his liking for distance, since he was increasing his lead as he passed under the wire--just about convinced turf experts that Gus Lueliwitz's $165,000 purchase is a prize package. Windy may go to the post in the Kentucky Derby a hot favorite to win that big race, In Europe, where Windy City was raced as a juvenile, his amazing speed won him the title of the champion two-year-old of England and Europe. His only defeat was an upset, something the same as once happened to Man O'War. Abroad, the only uestion about Windy was his Ability to go the Derby route. go Ireland is by no means in sports eclip "on, as it has always done, in some division of sport, _ "The Day" has been good and bad-for the sons of the Ould Sod. Most important fight in ring annals, staged on March 17th, took place in Carson City, Nevada, on Marclt 17th,-1897. James J. Corbett, an Irish-American who had defeated the mighty John L. Sullivan to win the title, was matched with the Cornishman, lanky Bob Fitzsimmons. Corbett was the favorite, but .was knocked out in the 14th. round with a blow that still lives in ring legend as the ! But on March 17th, 1923--and in Dublin City no less-- 55 Michael Francis McTigue of County Clare out-fought the Sen- galese, Battling Siki in. 20 torrid rounds and became the light- 7" heavyweight champion of the world. You couldn't ask for a greater combination of Irish ring success than that, could you Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St., Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS FER AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO FR se. The Ould Sod carries i War Weapon May Be Cure For Arthritis Onc of the new poison gases de- -veloped during World War II was nitrogen mustard--not to be corifus- 'ed with the mustard gas of World War I. Now good scems likely to come from the evil that in fact never happened, - for Spanish doctors of Madrid University report that in- jections of nitrogen mustard are a possible cure for rheumatoid arth- ;ritis. . Nine patients were treated. Five of them improved extraordinarily, pain and joint swellings disappearing and normal movement being made possible again. Three of the others improved considerably but not seo completely. ; Ya : -. "I'm so sorryl-l do remember we have met before soma- ' : where." a EB man, Take Heed. 0M Boy~Lance Cpl. Jim Mills, British military police- of South Shields, England, directs military traffic somewhere In.Koréa wtih the ald of a sign designed by military traffic experts to catch the eyes of drivers. Moot question: Will drivers watch the road, or the sign? -Why did these doctors even think of testing the poison gas as a treat- ment for arthritis, They had stud- ied American' reports on the action of the new and scarce drug, cortisone, which relieves arthritis so remark- 'ably. ~Cortisone, however, is not- yet available in Spain, even for medical research. The doctors knew, how- ever, that nitrogen mustard and cortisone produce very similar effects upon the white blood cells. It seem- ed worth trying nitrogen mustard in case it had a similar effect to cort- isone on arthritis. Cortisone cures or relieves other kinds of illness besdies arthritis. Asthma is one trouble in which it helps. Here, too, the unused poison gas from World War II is showing promising results. . Two asthmatic patients were able to breathe with- - out difficulty "soon after the first test injections. Weapons and materials of war have been turned into peaceful blessings before, but this is prob- ably the first time a weapon of war that was never put to its dead- ly use has become instead a rem- edy for hitherto incurable disease. Two golfers were annoyed by a slow couple in front of them. At one hole there was a particularly long wait. One of the offending couple dawdled on the fairway, while his companion searched in- dustriously in the rough. At length the waiting couple on the tee could contain their patience no longer. "Why don't you help your. friend to find his ball?" one shouted, indignantly. "Oh, he's got his ball," the man - replied blandly; "he's looking for his club." . SPORTY A common, complaint from sports - writers and radio commentators - these days is that the modern ball player lacks the "@olour" and. pic- turesqueness -of some of the old-. timers. 'Well, there's one modern (at least die's still - playing major league ball) who: has plenty of" colour both in the pigmentation of his skin and in-his actions too. We refer, .of course, to nobody but the one and only Mr. Satchel foot Paige. * * * And the latest news from OI Satchmo, now readying himself for a season, more or less, with the St. Louis Browns, is that he is developing a new, secret weapon designed to mow down the 'Am- erican League sluggers, Said wea- pon is nothing less than a version of the submarine ball. This, added to his repertoire of the windmill windup, the hesitation pitch and so forth, should make the Browns worth looking at, so long as Mr. Paige is on the mound, at least. : I . Asked if the fumour about the submariner was true, Mr. Paige loftily__explained that he will be pitching three ways this season. "Sidearm, overarm and underarm," he said--which sounds- like real triple-threat stuff. Hitting Satchel inthe past was hard enough, as plenty of batters scattered all over the North and South American continents will attest. But 'now it promises to be almost impossible, * . + . The Master of the Mound re- cently launched into a discussion of pitching techniques. "Pitching is just a question of outguessing the hitter. You figure 'what the man _at the plate is looking for," Satchel waved his hands expres- sively. "Then you pitch him some- thing else. You throw him inside when he expects a pitch outside. , * * * ' "When I see the hitter standing flat-footed" at the plate, I pitch him here." Satchel slowly drew a Jarge hand tight across his chest. "I figure that man is looking to push the ball on me. So, I put it where he can't do that." The great man pondered deeply for a mo- ment. "Once in a while a pitcher fools the batter, really fools him, by throwing the pitch he's looking Cold Chicken--You've heard of the perhaps the first time anyone has designed "cat's polamast but this Is' eghorn lingerie. Mrs, Eva Anderson won a nation-wide sewing machine contest by sub- mitting the idea for the two-piece undies and she and "Minnie," a Black Minorca hen are shown as Minnie models the garment. Mrs. Anderson first produced the articles when a blizzard -pulled a fowl trick by blowing in when her prized flock was molting. The flannels saved the flack. ' for right past. him. But," Satch - concluded sorrowfully, "it doesn't happeir too often." 3 ox * The pitching veteran glanced about the peaceful, sun-drenched park where the Browns players are preparing for the adventures and high life that lie ahcad under the promise of the Veeck regime. "Four more days like this and I'll be ready," Satchel observed. "I been playing so long it doesn't take me long to get in shape. I get my arm ready, then I work on control. But the legs come first, Always the legs. A man can't pitch good until his legs are in good condition. a . * "Different pitchers have different ways of getting in condition," he said. "That depends on a man's physical makeup and the kind of pitcher he is." * * * Satch cocked one eye up at the sun speculatively, Then, slowly, he stood up, uncoiling gracefully like some giant python. "I think," Satchel grunted, "I'll go work some -on control." . « . The secret weapon began taking shape. 3 ONE CANADA OR TEN, WHICH DO WE WANT? -- "If a firm line is not drawn soon, some fine morning we are going to wake up and find that the country has fallen apart. Instead of one state there will be ten, each with its provincial barriers, each with re- strictions against goods, services and population of the others. In the past week at least three provinces have placed embargoes on western cattle and one has declared that no cattle from any other province will be agmitted, In the provincia] legislature at Halifax the notorious and admittedly unconstitutional Nova Scotia' Labor Act js up for annual renewal. This law forbids a company to hire anyone but resident Nova Scotians. Many cities all across the country have attempted similar restrictions and most of them have been at least partially successful. In practically every province there are bars, some of them high and province from practicing in another, Urban municipalities. have followed effective bars, which prevent a professional person trained in one along again: with prohibitive license fees on every sort of outside service and trade. © We cannot hope to build a prosperous country, or a united country on this basis. We cannot hope to keep our young people. We are stifling trade and production, we are encouraging excessive costs and low efficiency. In the latest example, these provincial livestock embargoes, we are actually inviting a famine because seven of our ten provinces are not self-sufficient, in meat. It's about time we realized that we are all Canadians, and that this is all one country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, that every citizen is entitled to the same privileges and opportunities. 7 --From The Financial Post. The Western Horse The history of the Western horse is perhaps more romantic than that of any other type developed on the North, American continent, partly because of the vastness and primi- tive, ruggedness of the Western arcas and.partly because of the win- ning of the West was virtually ac- complished on horseback. Mere mention of the word "mustang" conjures up an exciting picture of Western history and folklore. Perhaps not everyone _realizes that the wild horse, the Spanish Barb, the Indian pony,. the early .cow horse, the ranget's: mount, and even the deathless "white mustang" were onc and the same. For those -- who think this is an exaggeration,. let us go-baek almost four centuries so that we may see hoiv close to the truth it really is... . The horses that were brought into Florida around the middle of the sixteenth century were dis- tributed over the Southeast through the- Guale scttlements, The next © important point of entry was New Mexico where. at the close of the sixteenth century Juane Onate and a 'group of Spanish 'settlers estab: lished themselves a few miles northeast of the present site 'of Sante Fé. Horse and cattle breed- ing was the regular order of bus- iness. es It is believed by historians that the Indian began acquiring the off- spring of Onate's Barbs early in the 1600s. Within less than a cen- tury, Indians of the Iowa and Missouri tribes became well mount- ed, as reported by La Salle and Tonti; in fact, nearly all the tribes of the western half of the United States possessed horses. As the pace of settling quicken- ed, trails 'were established through- out the Southwest, The trail from Chihuahua to Sante I'é was worn deep at an carly date. This was the -route traveled by the first Spanish adventurers about 1540 and it was in continuous use until New Mexico became a part of the United States. 3 Sante Fé formed the hub from which radiated trails in. all direc- tions, 'The Old Spanish Trail meandered "northwestward out of 'Santa I'é, up into southern Utah, across to Las Vegas, Nevada, and on westward. into California. The famous Santa Fé Trail took a northeastward route into Kansas... By 1812, there were three re- cognized zones of horse activity in the Southwest and in northeastern Mexico. The first area consisted of the plains country of the Arkansas Riveg, where such horses were known as "Pawnee" or "Osage." " The second zone. lay between the Arkansas and Red rivers where 7the horses were bwned by the tribes of Caddos, Wichitas, and Com- manches. The largest area was south of the Red River, now knawn as Texas. These horses were owned by Texas Indians and Texas Spani. ards -- "Cavalcade of American Horses," by Pers Crowell. es vow bow [Te ET PUNCTUAL JOCK By Allan M.

Though, Wilhelmena is a lady of fine quality, she insists on imbibing from a can and won't touch the stuff from a bottle or glass. Cooked Her Goose "What a wonderful goose!" said Reggic Sanders as lie sat down to. dinner in his pleasant Dumfries villa, "I should hope so, darling," ans- wered his wife." "I'm afraid it was rather expensive--I've 'spent half my housckeeping money on it!" In the next few minutes the goose repaid her expenditure a hundred- fold. Her husband bit on something hard, and he yelled "Ouch! A piece of stone!" "The goose must have swallowed it," Murs. Sanders cried in horror. Yet the "stone" looked strangely bright as it lay on his plate. It was a beautifully cut and polished dia- mond. Reggie Sanders took the stone back to the poulterer, who denied all know- ledge of it, and passed it on to the farmer. The farmer declared that he had never owned such a stone in his life, and sent it to the corn merchant, The merchant sorrow fully shook his head for he couldn't honestly claim - the stone. The police cotldn't decide whether to record it as lost property or treas- ure trove, Finally, 'the diamond was treated as "unclaimed property" and sold, Mrs. Sanders receiving a cheque for £2031 . Her actual profit was £202 12s. 6d. The remaining 7s. 6d, went in dental expenses for Mr, Sanders, The diamond had broken his tooth! I Was Nearly Crazy With Fiery Itch-- . all vie wr. DD.
