Anyway, in some old slacks, gear all packed, and on the way t tbe wedding, I went off to the "bush.

Hehey's Willie Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY Spertt WritM United Press By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer Melbourne OI.R) The magnificent -golden chestnut stood there haughtily, ears prick ed forward and thoroughbred nostrils flaring aristocratically. "A fair dinkum reliable horse," somebody breathed soft ly, the words echoing on tip-toe through the hushed hall. For this was Phar Lap, the greatest race horse ever to come out of Australia. And even today almost a quarter of a century since he died in California crowds ga ther around a gleaming glass stall in a Melbourne museum to stare in wonder at his symmet ric beauty. He was a lot of horse, this Phar Lap. A big and racy geld ing with the look of those who won't be beaten captured in the glassy eyes which stare unwav eringly down the museum cor ridor at an aboriginal family tableau. Only a stuffed horse now, standing eternally bridled as if ready to be led into the pad dock. But they did a grand job on him. The veins stand out in his once-flying legs, the mahogany-red tail sweeps almost to the floor and the auburn mane lies carefully combed against the glistening beauty of his silk en hide. One look at him and you can understand the resentment still carried in some Australian hearts because he died myster iously on his American invasion. I This was the Man O'War from Down Under, the racing pride of a tremendously sports-minded nation. Back in the early thirties he cleaned up everything in the land under the Southern Cross. He won the coveted Melbourne Cup, the Victoria Derby and just about everything else he entered. The big horse won close to $25,000, which, in those days, was a considerable bundle of hay. Shipped To North America So they gave him his chance and shipped him to North Am erica to make his bid for Inter national greatness. He won one race and then, you get a lot of different stories as to what hap pened. He died of poisoning Some say it was intentional Others contend that It wasn't. Phar Lap was foaled in New Zealand. And an old timer who had made the pilgrimage to his shrine observed: "Do you know, the Australian newspapers had two headlines ready for him when he made his first American race? One said "Great Australian Champion Wins.' The other said 'New Zea land Horse Fails'." It is hard to imagine, as you look at his classic lines, that if he hadn't eaten grass tainted with arsenic that April after noon of 1932 in California, he could have ever been beaten. As the man said, turning away from the huge glass clase in which Phar Lap stands: He was. indeed, a "fair din kum" horse!

Reading the league fof the past month, placfe only tw San Francisco (U.R) Joey Giambra called for a dish of spaghetti today and a shot at the world middleweight title, while Rocky Castellani, beaten again by the handsome boxer, hollered robbery. "The first thing I want now is some epaghetti," Giambra said a few hours after he had scored a unanimous 10-round decision over Castellani Monday night for his second straight victory over the Atlantic City fighter. "Then I think I deserve a men in the first 10 scorers. Beliveau added a goal and three assists to maintain a seven-point margin over De troit's Gcrdie Howe, who scored three goals last week to move into a second place tie with teammate Ted Lindsay each with 29 points. world title fight with whoever wins between Ray Robinson and Gene Fullmer," he added. Castellani, who has fought three times here and lost on every occasion, claimed he was robbed and that he should have won the decision.

Jackson County Walton Chapter Receives Division Exhibit Award Jackson county chapter of the Izakk Walton league won the exhibit award last week end at the Oregon division convention at Eugene. The exhibit was of pictures, correspondence, documents and newspaper clippings in connec tion with the chapter's success ful effort to secure federal ap propriation for screening the turbine intakes at Savage Rapids dam on Rogue River. Screening will prevent destruction of downstream migrating fish. A plaque was awarded to the chap ter. Division support of the Jack son County chapter's efforts with Rogue Soil Conservation district for development of Bear creek watershed under public law was indicated by a resolution passed at Eugene. Col. Paul Weiland, Medford, a state director, was reelected di vision vice president for south ern Oregon. Resolutions passed aimed at the state legislature included a request that the state forester be designated to administer pol lution laws in the case of logging operations. Prohibition of the use of splash dams in streams also was asked. Indian Reservation Measure A measure approved by del egates also asked for amend ment by congress of provisions for disposal of the Klamath In dian reservation in order to as sure sustained timber yield, pro tect the economy of the area and maintain the healthy condi tion of the watershed. The res olution asked further for main tenance of the 60,000 acres of Klamath marsh land to keep up the wild waterfowl habitat and to provide for propagation on at least as good a level as at pre sent. Other resolutions aimed at congress suggested a program for employment of youth similar to the former civilian conserva tion corps and for amendment of the federal power act to re quire approval by a state of projects wholly within a state. Miltiple use of Warner valley to improve the wild waterfowl habitat was proposed Jay Walker, Medford High school student, was chairman for a group of about 25 Young Out doors Oregonians who discussed the subject, water, from the rec reational point of view. Arizin Takes Pro Hoop Scoring Lead New York (U.R) Pitchin' Paul Arizin, the ex-Marine scor ing star of the Philadelphia War riors, took over the undisputed scoring lead in the National Basketball Association today on the strength of 58 points in his last two games. Arizin, the 1952 scoring champ, started the week dead locked with teammate Neil Johnstone, also a former scoring champion, for the top rung. But now Arizin is alone on top with a total of 489 points to 477 for Johnston. Defending champion Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks stood third with 459, nipping Clyde Lovellette of the Minneapolis Lakers who had 458.
