pari-mutuel windows were open

as usual today and the bettors
Hocked to the only place in the
nation where parl-mutuel betting
still is in operation, but on men
not horses. .
The haven of the distressed
bookies and jaded amusement
seekers is the Biscayne Jai Alai
Fronton where nightly crowds ot
4100 or more come to watch draft
safe Cubans oppose each other
in a strange but lively game that
is a combination of handball,
tennis, and lacrosse.
The players, known only on the
tote board by such first names as
Miguel, Diaz, Cayarre, Epifanio,
ana Pedro, are handicapped with
odds in the same manner that
race tracks list the morning line.
The day's betting fluctuates the
odds and there are .windows for
straight, place, and show wagers
of from $1 to $5. . Also borrowed
from the race tracks are the daily
double, a couplet bet on two play
ers in successive games, and the
quinella,' which is a gamble on
any two players to finish a game
in one-two position.

with the contestants being elimin

New York, Jan, 23 nit While
the bewildered baseball world
speculated today on possible de
velopments at the Frick-Hershey
conference, George M. Weiss,
manager of the New York Yankee
farm operations, asserted that
neither the major leagues nor
upper-classification minors could
carry on If forced to depend en
tirely upon teen-age players.
A similar opinion oi tne teen
agers may have been given Dy
Ford Frlck, president of the Na
tional league, to Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, selective service di
rector, during their conference at
Washington yesterday.
Frick wno, since tne ueatn oi
Commissioner Landis, seems to
have become a long-needed spokes
man for baseball requested tne
Hershey conference; thereby de
viating from the sport's stupidly
passive policy ot asking no war
time questions ot wasnington
brass hats. Frlck apparently
wants the manpower muddle clari
fied before the major league
meetings in New York, Feb. i.
Despite resident Kooscveit s
recent, befogged green light,
organized baseball was confronted
today with possibilities oi depend
ing entirely upon players untter
18 or of closing the parks. While
this alternative was n-o-t definite,
It was indirectly threatened by
the war department's recent
crack-down on 4-F athletes and
medical dischargees, and by im
pending legislation designed to
.on Bind shilt able-bodied male civilians,

previous agreement had prevent
ed this. Between 300,000 and 500,
000 youngsters will be available. .
But, according to Weiss "not
more than a dozen of these legion
youngsters could climb into major
league uniforms and give the fans
even a semblance of major league
play. You couldn't expect them
to; big leaguers are not made
overnight."
Weiss, In his statement to the
United Press, continued, "If we
had to depend entirely upon these
kids, we wouldn't be able to find
enough properly-developed talent
to keep the minor circuits going,
with the possible exception of the
three "D" leagues the Appala
chian, the Pony and the Ohio
state. Moreover, just as soon as
these boys reach the age of 18,
they will be subject to work-or-fight,
if the May bill goes
through."
Weiss, one of the best Informed
and one of the most practical men
in the game concluded, "if base-
