SPORTS PARADE

(Continued from Page Six) en four times—and he is convinced that it is the best team in pro football. This, is his 29th consecutive season as Green Bay coach, when he was convinced he had a winner. First of all, according to the man who played for the Fighting Irish on the same team with the legendary George Gipp, most of his youngsters failed to come through. Then his breakaway star, Bruce Smith of Minnesota, suffered a smashed shoulder and is just returning to the lineup. On top of that, Curly had trouble with Jack Jacobs, the Oklahoma Indian. It seems that Indian Jack is one of those unusual fellows who wants to start a game, and finish it. His replacement from time to time developed some interesting sideline arguments which didn't help Lambeau's peace of mind. Then, suddenly, the consistent Ward Cuff started missing those field goal attempts which would have meant the difference between victory and the defeats which resulted. Cuff missed a 23-yarder which would have meant a tie with the Bears because he was too deliberate and it was partially blocked. And in the final play of the game with the Cardinals, Cuff looked up and missed the winning field goal from the 20 yard line. "That from a guy who has kicked 60 a day without missing ever since the Revolutionary War, it seems, and who always has had his water in his veins," Lambeau moans. Somebody suggested that the sharpshooting Ward probably was too close and the Packers should have help him stretch it out by taking a 15-yard penalty. "If we had to do it over, we probably would," the Packer brain trust agrees, "but we are kind of leery about penalties." Seems that there was a time when Green Bay had Los Angeles in a bad hole, the Rams needing 15 yards for a saving first down. So Fred Naumetz, the heady Los Angeles center, walked up to Tulane Eddie Neal of the Packers and smacked the southern guard with the volatile temper on the chops. Naumetz, knowing Neal would exact retribution, then hustled over to the referee and said: "Watch Neal, he's slugging." On the first play, Neal did just that. The referee caught him, of course, and Los Angeles got the 15 yard penalty which pulled it out of the hole. "Shucks, that li'l ole fellah suckered me," Neal lamented belatedly. "Ah should have waited a couple of plays and then poped him." So Curly is kind of careful about playing around with penalties. See what he means?

Arrivals Continue To Pour In At Hialeah

Two large racing establishments—Lookout Stock Farm and John Marsch—are scheduled to unload at Hialeah Race Course today. Lookout Stock Farm, trained by G. E. Lewis, is a well-known name to Hialeah patrons, their stock having raced here consistently in the past. John Marsch is returning to Hialeah after competing last year in California. The stable is best known for Occupy, a good stakes performer of two years back, which performed so well in Florida and was then sold to a syndicate of Californians for breeding purposes. Another good horse which Marsch developed was Occupation. Eddie Anspach, formerly trainer for Woolford Farm, is now conditioning the Marsch string. Anspach was instrumental in developing Historian for the Woolf interests and was the first trainer to successfully fly a horse over a long distance and win races. Tuesday's arrivals were five head for Jacob Sher of Miami, operator of the West Flagler Kennel Club, and five yearlings for Jimmy Magee's public sale. Frere Jacques Arrives Sher sent down his turf performer, Frere Jacques, for another crack at the grass championship. In 1946 the five-year-old gelding won the two top sod races—Miami Beach at Hialeah and the Grasslands at Arlington Park—but failed to score in the 1947 renewals. He followed Tel O'Sullivan to the wire in the Miami Beach with a 130-pound impost and finished fourth to Pellicle in the Grasslands. In his last out in mid-July he finished fourth to Armed in the Arlington Handicap. Also in the Sher consignment were Sergeant Bill, an eight-year-old plater, Debaby and a pair of yearlings.

IN ON EVERYTHING

Some years ago in, a western city noted for its carefree attitude toward the maintenance of law and order, the primary election campaign got under way with considerable interest centered on the race for sheriff. One candidate, who had held various peace-office posts, sought the office on his wide experience in dealing with crime. During one of his speeches he intended to emphasize the excellence of enthusiasm he made the following remarkable statment: "There hasn't been a major crime committed in this county in the last 10 years that I haven't been in on."

ETERNAL FLAMES

A minister was to conduct the funeral of the town wastrel whose life had been such that not a great deal of good could be said of him. Even his widow understood that. Nevertheless, the pastor wanted to say something on the complimentary side if he could, and it occurred to him to scan the floral wreaths with their cards of sympathy. The man had been a volunteer fire fighter and the hook-and-ladder boys had sent a beautiful floral piece. "This ought to have something if any does," the preacher thought. He was sadly disillusioned. Worked neatly into the design in red roses was this statement: "Gone to his last fire."

SAVING THE DIFFERENCE

Along a country road came a $7,000 limousine. As it caught up with the small car. The owner of the big car could not resist the temptation to slow down and heckle the other driver a bit. "Good gosh, man," he said, "what is it about your car that makes such a dreadful rattling sound?" "That? Oh, that's the $6,500 jingling around in my pocket," said the driver of the small car.

LARGE SCALE

The man from the Bronx was wandering on the Sahara desert, clad only in his underpants, when he met an Arab. "Where," asked the Arab, "are you going?" "For a swim," said the Bronxite. "A swim, effendi?" was the astonished reply. "Why, the ocean is 800 miles from here." The man from the Bronx blinked. "Wow! Is dis a beach!"

REDECORATING

A bum who had held out a battered hat on the same corner for months is standing in his accustomed spot, begging, but he has a sign, "Business going on as usual during alterations," at which one of his regular customers asks him how come. "Oh," says he, "I'm having my hat blocked."

BACK-HANDED BOASTING

Sandy MacTavish is a generous man, always giving praise where praise is due. "Mon," he exulted one day, "but I had a fine game of golf with Torrence yesterday. He played a gr-r-rand game. His driving was wonderful. His work wi' the braws-sie was per-r-rfect. He never missed wi' his mashie, and his putting—ah, mon, you should have seen his putting! It was mar-r-velous! He played a gr-r-rand game." "And how many strokes did he beat you, Sandy?" one listener inquired. "Ah!" he replied. "I wosna' beaten."

BAD NEWS

A New York attorney had to go to Carson City, Nev., to handle a very important case. It dragged somewhat, but finally the lawyer was able to telegraph his partner: "Justice has triumphed." Immediately the New York partner wired back: "Appeal at once."
