jpons mourns r ^
While Hailing Truman
By DAM PARKER
A PHOTOGRAPH (bovine President Harry 8. Truman (baking
hands with Tony Janlro, the boxer, at Madison Square Garden appears
i an the (runt pace of the current issue of Maude Waxman's Fight Facta,
a weekly boxing pamphlet. It was a remarkable stroke of unconscious
timing on the part of Editor Waxman, who had no Idea when he made
up his front page that on April 13th. the date of the issue. Truman would
( be starting his first full day as our country's Chief Executive.
The photograph was taken at the Garden an the night *f March
• when Janire fought Monty Pignatore of Brooklyn. The Vice-Presi
dent sat at ringside behind Janire’s corner and as the baby-faced
| Youngstown boxer was leaving the ring after being proclaimed the
winner, the Vice-President arose and shook hands with him. Janlro
should treasure the photo above any awards that come to him in
the prise ring. And boxing, elated over the fact that the 33d President
of the United States is a boxing fan, should strive to make itself
move worthy of his patronage.
THE SPORTS WORLD, which was behind President Roosevelt and
his policies almost to a man, loses a powerful friend through his tragic
death. Baseball in particular had an ardent devotee in P.D.R. Although
the duties of his office were overwhelming, he almost always found time
to throw ut the first ball when the baseball season opened in Washing
ton, and whenever a word of encouragement was needed to bolster up
, the game’s morale during the trying war years, the late President never
was so tied up with far more important matters that he couldn’t find
time to say a few words that produced the desired effect. Fishing, swim
ming, boating—all wholesome outdoor sports, in fact—had Franklin Del
( ano Roosevelt’s enthusiastic endorsement. His patronage of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was enough to make the sports world
| one of the biggest contributors to the fund. There probably never was
I another President Including his namesake and distant relative to whom
| t^s sports folk felt so close. That’s why the sports world, which usually
,1 ciocsn't concern Itself with matters outside Its pale, is so numbed by
I Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s untimely death.
I A LETTER from a racing friend in Mexico (not my good man, Fred
i Keats) throws further light on the Don Meade affair which provoked
so much unpleasantness recently in Mexico City My informant writes:
"As you know, Don Meade was set down for a rough ride. He really
was Innocent for the horse he rode was a notorious "lugger-in” animal and
he bore over on the inside horse. After about three days of investigation,
the stewards (two Mexicans and Edwin J. Brown of California) sent for
Meade to question him, with the idea of restoring him to good standing.
. "It so happened that they picked a day that Meade was on a beau
tiful bender and looking for trouble. So when he went in, they asked
him what happened in the race. He replied that they had eyes and asked
what in the hell were they being paid for. And, he added: ‘I am sick and
tired of being called in before you guys all the time.’ Turning to the
t patrol Judge who was present, he said: ’You’re nothing but a Mexican—
and If I get you outside I'll punch the-out of you. All of you Mexicans
give me a swift pain etc.’ and with that he got up and walked out, and
when he slammed the door, he nearly took it off the hinges. (I saw
ithe entire transcript of the hearing. Brown showed it to me.).
“A few days later, the Jockeys' Guild phoned Brown and wanted
to know what It was all about. Brown read the transcript over the
’phone and the Guild suspended Meade. In the meantime, the two
t Mexican stewards who are very fine and high class persons (although
not too familiar with racing) took the matter up with some one very
high in the government, and they are trying to get an order to deport
Meade for insulting Mexico and the Mexican people. I believe that
, they may do it, unless Meade gets out before it comes off.
‘‘Then yesterday, in flew Cleary of the Jockeys’ Guild, to apologize
for the behavior of one of its former members and to tell of the high re
gard we Americans have for our neighbors. The President of Mexico is a
|' swell person, loves racing and he, like most Mexicans, is o k. It is really
1 becoming an international Incident. And while all this furore is going on,
Meade is on a nice bat. I think that he is absolutely nuts. George Ellis
trains for a Mexican general who is very close to the President and they
are trying to stop the deportation.”
I guess by this time the silly people who used to accuse me of hound
ing dear little Donald, wish I had hounded him harder. Meade doesn’t
ehange his spots.

T7ie fate of the City Amateur
league as far as its existence this
season is concerned will be made
known Monday night when man
agers and officials of the popular
Sunday loop gather in the Repub
lican sports department at 8 o'clock.
The circuit has come through two
war-time campaigns In a highly
successful manner, but whether it
can hurdle the obstacles which be
sets it this year remains to be seen.
Seven dabs?
Two years ago, six clubs made up
the circuit, but last year only five
survived the drain on manpower by
the armed services. Seven clubs
checked in at the opening league
meeting several weeks ago but since
that time two of them, the Thomas
Club and Sacred Hearts, have de
cided not to enter teams. The Over
looks will not compete tills year
which means that the Brooklyn A. C.
Tribune A. C., Washington Hills,
Aviglianese A. C. and newly-ad
mitted Eagles are the five potential
starters. Pres. Bill Derwin an
nounced last night that if four clubs
are ready, the loop will open on
schedule May 6th.
Of these, the Eagles are already
reported to be set U start.
A fair-sized turnout reported to
coach Joe Rinaldi for places on the
championship Avigiianese team last
night but the Initial call for candi
dates for the Washington Hills last
Sunday was anything but encourag
ing into to Pat Qullter. Acting man
ager Billy Moskowitz has issued a
call for candidates for the Brooklyn
A. C. team for tomorrow afternoon at
Hamilton park at 2 o'clock and while
“Packy" Shea is making every at
tempt to line up a representative
team for the lower Baldwin street
club. Tribe officials are anything but
optimistic. One of the reasons is
that the club's coach, Larry Mullen,
is reported to have signed to pilot
Fred Davl’s Bxasscos which opens
the season at Municipal stadium,
Sunday May 6, same day as C. A.
L. inaugral.
Pres. Derwin requests all managers
and officials of the City Amateur
league to meet in front of the Hotel
Elton at 7:45 tomorrow afternoon
where they will join units from the
police, fire, postal, and military de
partments at the fourth annual mil
itary Mass and Communion service
at the Immaculate Conception at fl
oclock, sponsored by the Knights of
Columbus.
