Beverly Hills-Well all know is
just what I read in the papers or
what see as I prowl about. Well
the Olympics are all over, every
body has run as fast as they can,
jumped as high as they can, swami
as fast as they could, and now
they have gone home to start prac-
ticing to start the whole thing over
again. It was the most wonderful
two weeks of thrills and excite
ment. 1t kept you looking nine
ways to try and see half of it. 1t
was a great job well done, by every
body connected with it.
There was many a laugh, many
that dident get into the papers.
There one day ireland would like
to have run off with the whole Sta
dunn. Some doctor from away
down in the south of Ireland just
had one more throw with the ham,
mer, Il don't know why they call it
a hammer, it's round) I would hate
to have to drive a nail with it, well
he just took his last heave and like
to knocked down one end of the
Stadium.
Then on the same day an old
Long boy named Tisdall won the
think it was 400 meters hurdles, he
and a Lord Burghley and by the
way he was the most popular man
at the games was this very titled
Englishman named Lord Burghley.
He owns a place in England that
quite a few towns, in fact that's the
first time I we're heard of a man
just going in for raising towns.
But must get back to my Gag.
Well this TisdaIl won the race, and
I forget where the Lord finished,
but it was either third or fourth.
Well sir he and this Irishman went
into the most wonderful and spon-
famous embrace you ever saw.
Think of an Irishyuan embracing
an English Lord. If that got back
to Ireland why they wouldent let
him land with his medals. Ireland
had a great representation, some
good boxers too.
Brazil was playing Germany wa
ter polo, and they had Hungarian
referee and he kept calling fouls on
Brazil. In fact he called 35 during
the course Of the game. Well after
it was over Brazil made for him
and he started to hollering for a
cop, but it was in his own language
and our cops couldent tell if he was
hollering or cheering, and Brazil
got to him, and how. They hit for
every foul, then another Foreigner
tried to rush over and the cops
thought naturally he wanted to get
in the fight, so they took care of
him. Well he was the head Of the
whole Swimming Federation in
Europe, and was trying to tell EN-
who he was. Poor Brazil they had
come up here on a Coffee Boat, and
after they had been out a couple
of weeks why their government
changed hands, and the new Gov
eminent was trying to find out
where the boat was. The Athletes
dident know what Government or
country they were really represent
ing.
Met and got acquainted with a
lot Of our boys. There was one old
kid competing and mean really
competing, from right about TWEEN
ty miles from Olagah, my old
home town called Skiatook. He
was distance runner. What a
place for an Olympic runner to
come from, I can't imagine what
he was running around there for.
His name was Dawson.
And say If Mr.. Hoover had come
out here and opened these games
like he should have done he would
have not been in Washington dur
ing that mess they had, in fact they
wouldent have had it. I saw some
movies of that away back couple
Of weeks ago, and what made it
look so bad was the army going in
with tanks and full war equipment.
I was just thinking of the effect of
that being shown all over the
world. We can never go around
preaching Disarmament" and
"BrotherIy Love" any more. It does
look like there could have been
some more sensible way out than
that. am a believer when you are
at outs with a man or a Group, is
not to send somebody (they always
bungle it,. Go out and talk it over
with EN-, and lay your side right on
the line and say, Here there is no
money in the Treasury to pay it,
we don't owe it to you till its due,
don't you think you have made a
mistake coming here" Or whatever
it was he had to say. But it's all
over and they are big men and are
supposed to know the right thing to
do in big cases. Sometimes 1t makes
you think we don't need a different
man as bad as we need different
advisers for the same man.
