Track Shut-Down
Proves Hard Blow
To Book Makers
(By Unlttd Pr)
The shut-down of race tracks in
the United States caught the gam'
bling fraternity in a maze of
confusion today with many of the
book makers still undecided
whether to close shop or keep go
ins with what was left to bet on,
but generally not interested in
war work.
Some of the bigger bookmak
ers, such as the 51,000,000 opera
tors, in New York and California,
called it a day and planned to
take winter vacations in j-iorida
or California while the ban was
in force. The smaller fellows, who
make up the bulk of the nation's
bookmakers, generally intended
to carry on with book on Mexican
and Cuban horse races, with some
expanding into the numbers rack
et or baseball or basketball pools.
Kuluctant To Work
But there were strong indica
tions that only a very small mi
nority of gamblers will go into
defense work, a move which' the
ban by War Mobilization Director
James F. Byrnes had hoped to
achieve. . ......
A number of the bigger gam-
hllng houses dirj not expect' the
shutdown to last very long. One
outfit in Buffalo even predicted
the ban would be lifted shortly
after a powerful gambling lobby
gets working. . 1
Law enforcement authorities in
many places took advantage of
the opportunity to crack down on
the remaining betting places.
Some officials' feared that a lot
of the agents, thrown out of work
by closing of the booking places,
would turn to the black market
rather than go Into war plants.
The situation throughout tin
nation was: ' , i ;. ; '
Situation Summarized
New York Big time operators
closed shop and planned to take
winter vacations In California or
Florida. Small bookies hoped to
continue and expected a fairly
heavy play on Cuban and Mexi-
can horse races. Police Commis
sioner Lewis J. Valentine ordered
a city-wide survey of all known
bookmakers to see whether Ihnv
were going Into defense plants, i
and also to block the entrance of
thousands of bookies inlo the
black market.
Chicago An estimated 1,500
bookies, with an annual take of
about $ir0,000,000, plan to use the
Mexican and Cuban tracks, with
a sideline of other sports and the
numbers. Most of the bookies nre
older men and some of the others
were higli school youths too
young to work or fight.
Will lllilo Storm
Philadelphia The majority of
Ihe bookmakers will "ride out the
storm" wilh bets on the Mexican
and Cuban races, and dip into the
numbers racket to supplement
earnings. There are an estimated
500 betting shops In the city with
fO.OOO agents and a daily play of
$500,000. This does not include the
nearby cities of Camden, N. J.,
Upper Darby and Chester, which
have a total of about 100,000 play
ers daily. Some of the agents are
going into the money-lending
business, but few have a tendency
to go into war work. '
Los Angeles General Indica
tions were that most of roughly
d.iHiu Doomes win lorget aixul
betting until the major Amcrlrnn
tracks resume. Only a fjikiII
amount of betting Is expectc I on
the Mexican and Cuban vaces.

don't forget Dizzy Dean. OP Dlz,
in his heyday with the Cardinals,
was not only a great pitcher but
one of the game's most colorful
characters. He succeeded Babe
Ruth temporarily as "Mr. Baseball."
Lew Diamond, the "honest
brakeman" who manages light
heavyweight champion Gus Los
nevich, has this favorite story: in
1921, Jim Coffey, the Irish giant,
came to New Orleans to fight
Martin Burke. Burke invited Cof
fey to his home to meet papa
Burke, who ws borri in Ireland.
Much impressed by Coffey,
father Burke Warned his son-that
no AmerlcaiTnshman could beat
one born in the old sod. Martin
went through with the bout; and
papa Burkf wept bitterly at the
ringside as his son helled the day
lights out of the Irish giant for
15 rounds.
Conch, Adolph Rupp of Ken
tucky U.'s Wildcat basketeers says
there s,' little chance of the team

Sgt. Jack Lcaman of the New

to correct' the impression f that
John (Ox) Da Grossa, Holy" Cross
coach, invented the "subrerfuged

Leaman says that Jimmy Phelan,
while the University of Washing

same shifting defensive forma
tions to use against Stanford's
Cinderella team. It worked, too,
until the last quarter when Al

Race Suspension
Amazes English
London, Jan 3 (Ui Suspension
of racing in the United States
came as a surprise to England
where the national pastime sport
of kings and commoners alike
has managed to keep going under
wartime handicaps much more
severe than those which led the
U. S. to ban the sport effective
today.
To give up their beloved horse
and dog racing is unthinkable to
cockney and royalty alike al
though the former was stopped
for a while during the war. The
average Englishman sympathizes
with what the U. S. horse players
are facing.
On this war-weary island, the
great spectator sport of racing
has become a morale builder for
war workers who pack racing
plants at pre-war numbers and
make the totalizers click at a
merry pace.
Reasons Presented
The reasons England has been
able to preserve and restore the
sport after some suspension with
out taxing the country's war fa
cilities are:
1. The country was divided into
three regions and horses per
mitted to race only in areas where
trained with the exception of
about a dozen big open events
each year. This prevented pro
miscuous shipping of horses' about
the country, thus avoiding cri
ticism that sprung up in the U. S.
when citizens were unable to ob
tain reservations and saw horses
riding in "parlor car" style to race
tracks around the country..
2. Curtailing racing to one day
weekly Saturday afternoons
when the war workers enjoy a
half holiday, thus avoiding the
absenteeism criticism which was
heard in the U. S.
Motorists Checked
3. Keeping tight police check on
motorists in the vicinity of the
tracks, thus limiting crowds to
use of local rail and bus systems
and avoiding the cry that rose in
the U. S. when newspaper photo
graphs showed track parking lots
tilled with automobiles bearing
"B" and "C gasoline ration cards.
There is no civilian gas here any
way except for business purposes.
4.. Limiting gasoline of horse
and dog owners to keep them
from transporting entries more
than a 50-mile radius by road.

Bend high school hoopsters will
open their 1945 competition when
they meet their old rivals, Klam

The Bears have not won a
game from the Pelicans since
1936, and this year's team is anx.
ious to change the trend. Last
year the Klamath outfit beat the
locals easily in a two game series
played in mid-January.
The games this year are rated
as toss-ups with the Bears having
an edge on height and k-ttermen
while the Pelicans will be faster
