MONDAY, 'NOVEMBER 15, 1948 (HME DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Sport Shorts From Britain By MICHAEL O'MARA Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Nov. 12--(CP)--Look at | any old print or painting of a horse race and you'll almost certainly see all the runners unnaturally air- borne. It took sporting artists a long time to learn to draw horses at the gallop in their true positions. Lionel Edwards, R.A., in his en- tertaining "Reminiscences of a Sporting Artist," says the gallop is full of pitfalls for the draughtsman. "The horse has only one period of suspension (with all legs off the ground), i.e. when the animals legs are all flexed (or gathered) under him," Edwards writes. "Therefore, the legs stretched out fore and aft, as depicted by old- time artists, would only be correct if the animal were a dog and not a horse. "A horse in the extended posi- tion has always at least one leg on the ground, but there are two per- jods of suspension in a dog's gallop, one with all legs stretched out off the ground and the other with all legs gathered together (flexed) un- der him. "The latter position is even then not quite similar to the same move- ment in a horse, as owing to the greater flexibility of a dog's back- bone." Have you ever heard of zoopraxo- graphy? It's the science of animal motion. Quadrupeds have eight different methods of progression -- walk, amble, trot, rack, canter, trans- verse gallop, rotary gallop and ri- cochet; the last is confined to the kangaroo and his relatives. Wherever Malcom Newlands and | his fiancee, Annie Alexander, 30 the subject is almost always soccer. No wonder, Malcolm is a former St. Mirren goalkeeper recently sign- ed by Preston North End and Annie is right back of Shot'st ladies foot- ball team. The couple were born within a | few hundred yards of each other in the village of Newmains, Lanark- shire. From the windswept golf course near the cliffs at Bude, Cornwall, | comes this tall tale: The duffer drove from the short sixth tee and his ball rolled into the rough several yards from the green. Up flew a friendly seagull, picked up the ball and dropped it neatly five yards from the pin. HURRICANE FORCE Seattle, Nov. 15 -- (AP) -- Hur- ricane force gusts lashed the Pa- cific northwest Sunday, killing one person and leaving landslides, wrecked power lines and uprooted trees in their wake. Derby County Finally Loses Hold 1st Place London, Nov. 13-- (Reuters) --Der- by County finally bit football dust today, dropping their first game of the season 3-0 t0 up-and-coming Newcastle United. But Derby Coun- ty still clung to first division leader- ship by a two-point margin. Newcastle came from nowhere in a great second-half scoring splurge and 66,000 fans--the day's largest crowd--saw goals by Steele, Stob- bart and Milgurn spell victory over the only undefeated team in Asso- ciation Football. Mhe victory gave Neweastle Unit- ed a tie for second place with Portsmouth which gained a 1-1 draw with Blackpool.

Swansea Town livéd up to | expectations, edging Northampton | 1-0 and remaining atop the league, | but still just a point ahead of Bournemouth and Boscombe Athlet- | ic which gave Swindown town a 3-0 trouncing.

New York, Nov. 15--(AP)--If you 3 want to get an explosion out of Tony Savage, Fort Worth hockey pilot, just ask him about the note he received between periods of a recent Fort Worth-Kansas City game. Tony was getting the boys ready for an all-out effort when an usher appeared with an, epistile in neat feminine handwriting . . . Savage opened it and read: "Tony, | will you please buy Jack Jackson of Kansas City. I think he's cute." Monday Matinee Dewey Fragetta, the boxing wholesaler who brought Charley Ri= ws ley and Lee Sala to New York, in- troduces a promising light heavy, Dick Wagner of Portland, - Ore, against Davey Feld in Brooklyn to- night . . . Golf club manufacturers are receiving a demand from fem- inine players for larger grips on the clubs. Seems the gals generally have long tapering hands that don't fit man-sized grips. Quote, Unquote Charley Grimm, Cubs manager, after shipping pitcher Russ Meyer to the Phillies: "Temper will cause Russ more trouble than enemy bat- ters and I doubt if he'll ever learn to control it."
