He was asked to ring back next day as no decision had been finalised about a rider. He phoned twice on Tuesday, was finally told that the connections bad decided on Jack Thompson who, after thinking it over, agreed to take the mount The disconsolate Watterson, unfashionable on Thompson standards, reckoned himself to be Sydney's unluckiest jockey. Beau China was heavily backed from 7-1 to 9-2 in the Point Piper Handicap, only to be beaten half a neck by the 2S-1 outsider, Johnny Zero. Cormick, turning away as the numbers went up, asked a friend: "Who rode the winner?" He was told: "Neil Watterson." -Watterson had fluked the Johnny Zero ride on the course. Invasion OC If.L.

Strongholds AT their meeting last Monday, Rugby League administrators bad a lot or bitter mates ro say about a certain Brian Palmer. Mr. Palmer, a former grazier from Wellington, N.S.W., is also a member of the Rugby Union manaeement committee and a directing force in that code's schools' committee. What is riling the League is that he has swung almost every school on the North Shore over to Rugby Union. More recently he has invaded the League's own strongholds of Balmain and Newtown wnere ne has induced four schools to introduce Union.

But he had another purpose. He had read a par. of mine about the ignominious departure from boxing of veteran referee Joe Wallis. He said: "I fought four preliminaries under Joe Wallis back in 19J2.

I thought I was going to be another Les Darcy. "After my fourth bout Wallis sent for me. He said. 'Son. give this game away.

You're no good and you're going to get your brains knocked out. "I took his advice and went back to the farm. To-day rm in the money. Why don't they give Wallis a benefit as a send-off. They can count on me for a donation and I might surprise them what I can throw in.
