o — 0 Today's Sport Parade | By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) I 0 0 New York. July 14 — (UP) — The U. 8. Olympic team rails for England today anti our wandering athletes, headline hunters all, will discover that despite a newsprint rhurtage the London newspapers will give them g<Mai coverage albeit at times slightly confusing.| The horse players in the travel-j ing troupe, and there are a few amateurs who like to wager a deuce on the gee-gees, will be the first to feel right at home with the | strange sports pages. They, at least, will get the works, and you. can figure It out by yourself. Space may lie tough but the Lon-| don town gazette give the race, goers all the entries, odds, jockeys/ etc. and, yes. there are even selection ala Belmont Park. You might say they go us one better because one selector called "riddle-me-ree" gives his customers "good things" in a confusing doggerel to whit: “My first either wav gives you the bird. “For bat my next Is just another word.” Figure that out and you deserve a winner. For the baseball fans, they carry the major league results, plus any other outstanding sports news from the states but those who aren't cricketconditioned are in for a bad time Imagine picking up the sports page and finding a screaming headline which barks: "fighting 64 (not out) pegs back Australia.” But those cricket writers should be able to do right well on the form displayed by our women 1 swimmers. Particularly when you consider that they go into ecstasies over flannel-clad curves like these: “Jack Crapp - was a shade careless in taking Lindwall's in swinger' on his back pad to Ire out leg-ire-1 fore." Or "Yardley was tetrfpted and | fell into Toshatk’s pit at square leg." Wait 'til they get a gander at Ann Curtis. Zoe Ann Olsen or Vicki Oraves But, when it's all over, out athletes will probably Ire glad to pack I their medals and the Olympic c hampionship and head for home You'd be surprised how much those muscle men and winning women think of their scrapbooks and in Ixrndon these days a guy or a gal is lucky to get a whole paragraph all to themselves.
