It was the largest crowd of the

Medford Bowlers
Discuss Program
For Coming Year
At a meeting held last night
at the Medford Bowling lanes,
members of the Classic league
voted to bowl the coming year
under a handicap arrangement.
A team limit was set at 860 pins
with handicap computed individ
ually on- of 190.
For several years the league
has bowled on a scratch basis
with the teams set up at the start
of the year as near evenly as
possible by averages maintained
the previous year. This year the
members felt that in order to
equalize the teams without
working a hardship on any in
dividual or team it would be
necessary, to go back to handi
cap bowling for at least one
year.
Necessary changes in rules to
govern the league in handicap
bowling were made and the
starting date of this season's
league play was set at 7 p.m. on
Monday, August 18, to run for
35 weeks with a two-week lay
off during the Christmas and
New Year's holiday.
Andy Anderson, new owner
of. the Medford Bowling Lanes,
assured the bowlers of his co
operation during the coming
season. v .

Tax on Gamblers Losing Punch;
Most Fail To Purchase New Stamp
Washington (U.R) Internal
Revenue officials said Friday the
new tax on gamblers has lost its
punch and business in the gam
bling world is picking up.
A United Press survey of ma
jor cities indicated most of the
nation's bookies, punchboard
operators and numbers racket
eers had not bothered to register
for new federal gambling tax
stamps by the deadline last mid
night. Poor Showing 'Lamentable'
In Washington, a high tax of
ficial called the poor showing
"lamentable."
Six months ago, the same of
ficial said the law requiring gam
blers to come out in the open
and buy a $50-a-year stamp and
pay a 10 per cent tax on all bets
handled had cut gambling opera
tions to the bone.
Friday he said the "small
timers are resuming operations,
some 'under cover and others
right out in the open. Arrests
have increased, he noted, and
the number of horse race
"scratch sheets" for sale on
stands has grown.
Drop in Stamp Sales
Throughout the nation, local
tax officials reported a sharp
drop in tax stamp sales. Last
year's stamps expired with the
-tax year on June 30, and last
midnight was the deadline for
renewing them.

GUARDSMEN WIN
National Guard defeated
YMCA, 13 to 5, in a Medford
Softball league game played
here last night. Dick Phillips
was the winning pitcher for the
Guardsmen in the seven inning
contest.
A substance known to scien
sists as . CVP (citrus flavonoid
compound), derived from the
pulp and rinds of lemons and
oranges, is cited by Dr. Boris
Sokoloff, prominent bio-chemist
of the U. S. Vitamin Corpora
tion, as a new hope in aiding x
ray treatment of cancer.
Officials were surprised when
only 42 New York City gamblers
registered with the tax bureau
and bought tax stamps last year.
This year their number is down
to three.
In San Francisco, 90 stamps
were sold last year and only
nine this year. More than 3,000
Illinois gamblers bought stamps
last year, but less than 150 have
signed up this time, and none
in the Chicago area.
Said Forced Out
Top officials in San Francisco
and Chicago--as well as several
other cities claimed the slump
in sales shows gamblers have
been forced out of business. It's
not the money, it's the "spotlight,
they explained. Many gamblers
have landed behind bars shortly
after admitting their true colors
to the tax collector, and others
may have learned from their ex
ample. But Chief " Magistrate John
Murtagh of New York agreed
with Washington officials, who
think gamblers are no longer
afraid of the law and have de
cided to go it illegally.
Three Factors Blamed
The Washington official
blamed the law's failure to
knock out gambling on three
factors: Congress didn't provide
enough money to enforce it; lo
cal police often fail to get enough
evidence on an arrested gambler
to enable prosecution for viola
tion of the federal law; and ar
rested gamblers can get off the
hook by buying a tax stamp
even after they have been apprehended.
