SPORT APARADE

BY HENRY McLEMORE


! United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 6.-This is an
open letter of thanks to the S.72l
! persons who wrote to me. after I
/ predicted Schmeling would knock
cut Baer and Sharkey would stop
Camera, calling me: dope, q
mugg. a pickpocket, chiseler, a Sec
/ ond-Story worker, a heel. a mental
nudist. a crackpot. a wag, and a
pain in the kneecap.
If all of my correspondents we're
/ here right now I'd do something
I nice for them. I'd get a lot OF
! busSes and we'd go on an outing.
Most people would get sore if
they got a thousand letters call
ing them public enemy number
one-half. but not me. 1t IS not be-
cause l IN overflowlng with the
pasteurized milk OF human kind
ness. It's because of the postman,
Luther Virgins, dumping a sack
full of mail on my desk every day
has brought me tremendous pres
tige.
My colleagues thought the pan
mail was fan mail. Even the boss
came out, looked at that mass of
letters, and said
Answer the telephone, you dope!
1t s ringing!'
And ordinarily the boss isn't
talkative guy. It's not many of
the fellows around here he II stop
and chat with like that.
There S only one thing that wor-
ries me about the letters. Most
of my correspondents have an idea
that 1 should have picked Baer
and Carnera. They can t figure
out why, after going to the train
ing camps day after day, I'm not
able to pick the man who will win.
Why, that revoltS mel If was
able to do that I'd make enough
on one fight to retire and spend
the rest of my days pursuing my
hobby which is going through red
lights.
You apparently don't understand
what an expert does when he goes
to prizefighter training camp.
He doesn't pay any attention to
the fighter. Upon arrival he drinks
glass of beer, eats, chews the rag
with the local chief of police who
can always be found at the camp,
drinks another beer, sits in on
hand or two Of pnochle, drinks a
beer, catches a nap, asks how much
the champ weighs. drinks two beers
and writes story.
After a month of that I picked
Sharkey. I never did get to see
him but the vittles and beer up at
his camp were just swell. l told
Johnny Buckley the day he served
me double lamb chops that Sharkey
couldn't lose. And that same day
when they brought out that Can
adian ale I turned to Buckley and
remarked:
Sharkey'll win by knockout. 3"

There was a time when Chuck,
now the idol of the Phillies and
the star of the club, was catcher
and not an outfielder.
But that was when I worked
in a steel MILL" he smiled.
Asked what he did with the stee
after he caught it, he replied he
threw it back
That's all part of the job Of

Klein. unlike many OF the bis
leaguers, gets up every morning
at 7, has his breakfast and sit!
around the hotel lobby until timt
to go to the park for little warm

Chuck still has warm spot fo
the boys with whom he worked il

Great Britain Is king objected to a
picture which was hanging in the
house of parliament in London
and, as a result, the picture now Is
the property OF the state OF Wyom-
ing.
The picture, painted by Margaret
Lindsay Williams in 1929, depicts
a figure representing Great Britain
kneeling at the feet Of a figure
representing America
King George V did not like to
see Britain kneeling at America S
feet. Parliament did not like It.
In fact. it was a quite q task TO
find any admirers for the picture
except a few Americans in London.
One of the Americans, the late
Ira Casteel. former Saratoga, Wyo.,
stockman and Denver banker,
bought the work of art Just about
the time it was ready to be con-
signed to the royal attic.
The picture was shipped TO Wy
oming and now occupies a place OF
prominence in the anteroom OF
Gov. Leslie A. Miller'S suite OF
offices.
