Scobie Breasley Whispers A Tip-Lightkeeper For Cesarewitch Stakes
By GEORGE WHITING
Jockeys are notoriously the worst tipsters in the world--outside of sports columnists—but when the currently most successful performer of them all permits a whisper to escape two normally tightly-zipped lips, then it is surely time to cast aside dull care, mortgage the old home, and lot who will call you a mug.
But, first, an introduction to the quiet, wee man from Wagga Wagga-Arthur (Scobie) Breasley, Australia's gift to horseracing history; the jockey whose partner- ship with trainer Sir Gordon Richards has recently been paying off with remarkable regularity for us workaday punters.

OLYMPIC GAMES
IOC WILL PUT UP AN
'IRON CURTAIN' BETWEEN THE TWO CHINAS
Lausanne, Switzerland, Oct. 11.
The International Olympic Committee announced here today that it will have to put an "Iron Curtain" between Nationalist and Communist China at the Melbourne Olympic Games.
"We have certain information," IOC Chancellor Otto Mayer said, "according to which there is a real danger of incidents between members of the two Chinese delega tions.
Consequently we have asked the Organising Committee in Melbourne to take some measures to make sure, as far as possible, that the Olympic ideals are not compromised by such incidents."
