A' 8ports-And One Thing 01 Another By Prank Mann Harris Just ..what is it tliat brings out the record-breal<ing crowds to any iports event. Is it tlie expectation of seeing a close, well-played r n- t*st â€" an "exhibition of skill and icience" as the boxing and .wrest- ling boys phrase it? Or is it the thrill c' being among those present when something unusual, some- thing that will make the big head- lines, is taking place? ♦ . * * A combination of both would pos- iibly be the most nearly correct answer, because in any big crowd there are bound to be both the real sports lovers and the thrill-seekers. But any experienced sports promo- ter will tell you tha the latter out- number the former by so much that there's no real comparison. » * » They're the folks who cheerfully fork over five or tv,n times the box- office price for tickets to a World's Series b<ill game or Stanley Cup hockey match â€" eien although they know tight well that what goes on ir these "classics" is, as a rule, dull and wearisome compared to what ii se'en during the regular season. They're the ones who pack the tracks to suffocation point for the running of a King's Plate or Ken- tucky Derby â€" brought there by - ballyhoo, and not through any real liking for horses or horse-racing. ♦ « « So when some sixty thousand people â€" 59,661 to be exact â€" turned out for a track and field meet re- cently, you may be certain most of them were expecting to see some- thing sensational. They were. A couple of weeks earlier Mel Patton, by running 100 yards in 9.3 seconds, had broken a record that many •hrewd observers thought might never be topped. And now Patton was going to try and do the same to the 100 meter mark. They got their thrill and sensa- tion O.K. â€" and a terrific roar went up when it wa- announced that Pat- ton had; clipped the 100-meter mark by almost a full second. But a lot of them, a few moments later, were wishing they hadn't put so muc" •train on their lungs when it was discovered thatâ€" due to an error of the man who laid out the course â€" Patton had travelled only 99 yards < inches â€" or almost 10 full yards •hort of 100 meters. _, - â- '•*' * • The fuss that was made over this unfortunate error has rather taken »he spotlight away from Patton s wonderful feat in making that new 100 yard mark. The 100 yard dash has always been one of the real glamour events of track and fieldâ€" and whenever it's mentioned names like those of Jesse Owens, Frank Wyckoff, Bobby Kerr, our own Percy Williams and many others «re boimd to come to mind. Yet the man who many consider to have been the greatest speedster of them all is almost forgotten. ♦ ♦ ♦ He was Jack Donaldson, a loiig- legged speed-ball out of Australia, who ran as a professional during most of his career. Thirty-eight years ago, running in South Africa, he was clocked at 9 and three- eighths seconds for the hundred yards â€" (they used eighths instead of tenths in those days).â€" and that is a mere tliree-iortietbs of a second lower than Patton's mark. What is more, when he did it Donaldson had liis opponent so well beaten that he cased up all through the last 25 yards or so. There's no doubt he could have gone even faster â€" and there are plenty of those who should know about these things who hon- estly believe that, with the ad- vanta,ce of the better-constructed, springier sprinting track of nowa- days, Jack Dionaklson might very well have run the hundred in 9 secoiuls flat. It was in a match race with Reg- gie Walker right after the latter had won the 100 meters at the Olympic Games in London, that Donaldson made his record. It is said that something like two million dollars was bet on the result, and the South Africans, who had backed their Reggie ap though he was al- ready home-free, took a tetrible financial lacing. » ♦ ♦ Some of Dpnaldson's other al- most incredible feats were recently recalled by one of his most ardent admirers. He ran the 130 yards â€" a favorite distance for professionals â€" in 13 seconds flat! He was timed by the official docker for the .Aus- tralian Jockey Club who, when he saw the figure on his stop-watch, at once said that the distance must be short, so incredible was the figure. So they measured it with a steel tape â€" the kind that doesn't stretch â€" and it was found to be 2 yards 2 inches MORE THAN the correct distance. ♦ * ♦ Donaldson seldom tan the quarter mile â€" but when he did he covered the 440 yards in 47 seconds flat years before any one else ever did. Coaxed into representing his Regi- ment in a four mile run during World War One he came in first by almost half a mile. Six feet tall, and with a phenomenal stride of nine feet, Donaldson was really something â€" and those who contend that there never was anything to equal him, before or since, have plenty of weight behind tt\eit argu- ment.

What Goes On In The World _ _ By Norman Blair South Africa . Seventy-eight years of age, and of mixed Dutch and French an- cestry, Jan Christian Smuts has long been known throughout Soutli Africa as "tlie old boss". In the Boer War, 1899-1902, he fought against the British. Later on lie held many portfolios â€" including those of Minister of Defense and of the Interior â€" in the new Brit- isl. Dominion, the Union of South Africa. During the last two years of World War One he was a member of the British War Cabinet, and was a leading figure in post-war settlements. He helped write the League of Nations Covenant, then returned to .\frica to become the Union's Premier from 1919 to 19_'4. At the outbreak of World War Two, Smuts got the Premiership again, and put his country on the side of Britain in the struggle with Hitler. His Government ruled over a population of between U and 12 million. Less than a quarter of these are of white European descent, "'he balance are mostly of the na- tive Bantu races. In the South .'\frican parliament until quite recently, General Smuts' united party has had a lower house majority of aboiit 25 scats. But late this May "the old boss" ran into an unexpected snag. In the criti- cal I iieral election for a new Mouse of .\ssembly the opposition Kationalist party and its allies won a clear majority. Smuts himself lc>st the Standerton constituency which he had represented in Parliament for 24 years. The day after the voting Smuts' comment was â€" "These things do happen. There it is â€" there it is." Then he resigned his post as Pre- mier. Japan .After Japan's defeat in the war the Emperor resigned all his re- ligious claims to supremacy. X'oices are now being raised â€" although still wit. a me sure caution â€" that he should acknowledge his re- sponsibility for the course of events, and step own from hi< throne. But, strangely enough, those same liberal voices are being joined by thi..se of others whose devotion to t'- ancient system has never been even shaken. Th.se figure it something as follows â€" if Hirohito abdicates he wmld doubtless be s ceded by ^Vt 14-year-old Crown Prince, who cannot in any way be blaned tor the disasters of war. Thus the Imperial institution would be continued and fortified. But the best hope for a really liberal Japan would be for the fossilized Imperial institution to disappear completely â€" and that vcr.v possibility is now being discussed in influential Nip- ponese circles. Finland Finnish Con..ervatives, aided and abetted by Social Democrats and ' ibcrals, apparently started some- thing they were unable to finish. When, to cverybod.v's surprise, they voted Leino, the Communist In- t.rior Minister mt of office, the upshot i ; that Lcim 's wifi. has been taken into the Govcrnr ent. .\nd she â€" Hcrta Kussinen â€" is an even higher-ranking Communist than her husband. \ So impartial observers regard the whi' thing as a victory for The Reds, in spite of the fact that in Finnish offiei circles it is termed a compromise. One ctor is now plain. It is that the Kremlin now has a direct lin« into the Finnish Government in the person of Mrs Leino. Talented daughter of the President of the I'linish Kareliaii Soviet Republic, who is also a member of the Soviet Supreme Council, she frequently visits Moscow to consult her father on Finnish affairs. The Middle East A common bond of enmity to the new State of Israel has drawn all the .Arab states together In one cau*« â€" sonKtI.ing that has not been achieved since the Turkish Empire broke up some thirty years ago. How long this can last nobody can say, but the fact is that ih'.y have put aside long-standing disxi'-ee- nients ' face the present crisis t<i- gether. -Anotlier part oi the Middle East picture is the role the Communists are playing. There is a widespread conviction throughout Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Palestine that the Russians are making political pital of the situation. For one thing, it i saic that Rus- sia is backing the Palestine parti- tion plan in order to get a better foothold in the Middle East, partly by winning the fri'.ndship of Isreal. .At the same time the Soviets are be- lieved to be fomenting strikes and disturbances in .Arab countries with the aim ot dividing the attention of the several .Arab Governments, so that they would have less strength to expend on tlu Palestine fight, and also less with which to handle internal difficulties. But Rus.'ia may not have counted on I' ; fact that all .Arab countries are by nature anti-communist. Arabs are keenly conscious of the anti- religiou^ aspects of communism, and do not appe.r to be at all im- pressed by recent Russian changes toward reli.gion. Germany Soviet propaiiandists in Germany are adding new vigor to their propa- ganda drive based on the theme of "German unity" â€" and the univers- al appeal of such a theme cannot be discounted. It ma.v oven out-weigh, for a while at least, the strong anti- Soviet^ feeling which lias prevailed in \\"estern Geniiany since the war's end. The Rus.siaiis have coupled this slogan of German unity with accusa- tions that the Western Powers are dismembering the country: and they insist that this "dismemberment" is only a preliminary to he use of W stern Germai.. as an arsenal of war and as a springboard for an eventual attack on the Soviets, in which case Germany would be the battleground. This touches the fears that every German has for the future. Some of the propaganda tales that are Leing spread â€" and believed â€" seem fantastic to us. .A German in Hamburg is told that in United States zone German girls are forced to clean the boots of .American troops. Germans in Xuremburg are informed, quite seriously, that in Dusseldorf the British are quarter- ing Indian troops on the German population. In Cologne the tale is spread that "in the Russian zone" anyone who worked on a farm or in a factory gets all the gasoline he needs. "It i; only the profiteer* and J.nvs who do not receive .gas rations!" It is hard to believe that any thinking people could be duped by such stuff. But it must be remem- bered that Germ.atis of today are people whose moral fibre and in- tellectual integrity has been weak- ened by over 15 years of fascism and war. In such mental soil even the crudest propaganda can take root. The British Way Discrimination against holders of religiou.. political, and other beliefs is repugnant to those who hold fast to the British way of life. "This is a 'ree country" is no catchphrase; it is written more indelibly into the most deeply cherished creed of the ordinary people of Britain than ever Calais was on Mary Tudor's heart. Centuries of civil strife and the blood of many mar s have won the right to think, to say, and to do what con cici'.ce dictates. SAFES HrolrcM ;uur UUOKS aM VAUB rraa FIRE and TUIKVES.
