SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

PASADENA. Cal. Jan % up
At the risk of running my social
standing III 81. Andrews. Scotland.
I feel must publicly applaud Sam
Snead for his sudden withdrawal
from the $1,000 Pasadena open golf
tournament after only eleven and
fraction holes Of play.
As YOU doubtless know. Snead
created a fiTe-alarm furor here
yesterday when. disgusted with his
seven over par score on the first
eleven. and sn out of bounds shot
on the twelfth he paid off his cad
dy and hot-fOoted it for the club
house.
His fellow professionals still were
up in arms over the incident to-
day. and demand for an official
reprimand was in the hands Of
PEA. President George Jacobus.
Tournament officials sputtered
over their tea and tapped their
canes angrily on the floor at the
very mention of Snead.
All through the clubhouse, and
all over the course, Sam was de-
scribed as unsportsmanlike. lacking
n gameness. and unethical. Not a
single one of his rival professionals
had a word TO say in his defense
This came as no surprise. I might
add. because sam never has been
popular with the tournament play
ers. The West Virginia boy is a
"loner', and has been ever since
he rose TO fame. He rooms alone
eats alone. and finds his pleasures
alone He seldom speaks 10 his
companions when paying a round
and is very choosey about the pair
ings He likes to play fast. and
when he IS paired with slow play
er he doesn't fail to show his an
noyance. II is worth nothing that
he was paired with Jimmie Thom-
son. a thoughtful and careful shot
maker. Yesterday 1t is no secret
that Sam and Jimmy, rivals for the
tile of worlds longest hitter are
not friendly
It would seem that I am taEina
a stand against Snead but I am
not. As I said before ] am on hi'
side In the first place, Snead

IDENTITY valued his lunch more than
his life
Cutting wood in the Blue Noun
tains so miles from here, John was
vigorously attacking a huge log
when he glanced around and saw
brown bear making short work
of his lunch
John pivoted and crashed his
axe across the bears thick skull.
The axe handle snapped. The
bear retreated, changed its mind
and started for the big woodsman.
The woodcutter grabbed a stick
OF wood and each time the bear
lunged, he brought the club across
the animals head. He finally de-
livered a fatal blow
Clair Egelston, range rider, wit
messed the fight but was unable to
assist because Of a balky horse.
Egleston asked the SWede why
he didn't give ground when the
bear charged and got the reply:
First l start to run. Then I
say, John, you work five hours
today. You earn lunch so I stay
and fight"
John has the skin of the bear as
proof of the battle.

Of the biggest upSets Of recent
boxing history bv outpointing the
24-vear-old Welsh coal miner in
their l0-round bout. A 2-1 under

staged a perfectly gagged fight to
close with a rush and win the nod
from two of the three officials
The outcome was almost as un-
expected as the upset win over
Baer which made Jimmy 2 Is

three years ago.
Many of the ringside experts. in
cluding Promoter Mike Jacobs, re-
garded the decision a sentimental
one but none disputed the fact
that Rraddock was the stronger
man at the finish. A spottv fight
because of a listles5 start and too
frequent clinching. ii nevertheless
pleased the crowd of 1889 cash
customers who contributed a gross

Braddock started fast and closed

way Colored Clowns Wednesday
night in the FL Centre high school
gym in a game that is expected to
provide more laughs per minute

The Broadway Clowns basketball
team. Negroes of Harlem. New York,
played exactly 105 games during
the 1867 season with only five
men and went through the entire

the lineup because OF injury or
sickness and never had a player
removed from the game by personal
fouls
This year the Clowns are again
carving only five men and hope
to set a record of consecutive games
played without injury that will
stand for all time.
The Clowns lineup is as follows:
Teddy "Po'kchops" Brine. for
ward: Al "Runt" PullinS, forward;
Don Coins. center; Buzz" Mathews.
guard; George Pearson, guard.
Pearson. carving IT'S pounds and
a six footer, joined the Clowns this
year and his presence strengthens
an already powerful combine. Pear
son. lust out Of Xavier College
New Orleans, is real scorer. He
was considered the finest basket
ball player among colored teams
in the south last year, which was
lis final and senior year in college.
The Clowns opened their schedule
early in November playing leading
college and independent teams
throughout the east and middle
west and to date have not lost a
game.
Last year tho Clown lost only
three games, two of those being
