pire Bill Stewart, who was the
first pro baseball player to enlist
in the other war, has come
' around to the conclusion that
sports still are useful so the
home folks can "let off steam
and get things off their chest.!'
. . . Although plans still are
nebulous, Ned Irish has reserved
March 27, three days after the
end of the invitation basketball
tournament, as the date for a
war charities court game . . .
Brigham Young U. has come up
with a new reason why a star
athlete can't play. Dwane
Espin, all-conference basketball
forward in 1941, dropped out
of school to look after his 3000
sheep. ...

; Joe Cronin (en-route to his

of the average ball player of to
day when tie reports for spring
workouts as compared to the
shape in which the average play
er reported, say, 10 to 15 years
ago.' Very few players let them

Auto Pleasure Driving Ban
Cuts Short Florida Track
Year; Horses Stay South
MIAMI, Fla:, Jan. 8 (IP)
Whirlaway and lesser known
horses still made the rounds of
Miami's two race tracks today,
but the thoroughbreds were
strictly in the non-profit ledger
as the ban on automobile plea
sure driving cut short the Flor
ida racing season.
. Officials of Hialeah and Tropi
cal parks reported that stables
would be kept open and racing
stripes in condition so that some
1500 horses may be kept in top
shape, pending decisions by own
ers as to the future.
Hirsch Jacobs, a leading train
er, sounded - the . keynote for
trainers and owners by saying:
"I think 90 per cent of the
horses will stay right here for
the winter. It would be danger
ous to ship them from a warm
climate to a cold climate now.
My string of 25 is staying here,
as far as I can tell right now,
. Ben Jones, Whlrlaway's train
er, with 43 other Warren Wright
horses stabled at Hialeah, de
scribed the situation as "ter
rible" but said he hoped Wright
would give him permission to
ship the long-tailed champion
money winner to New Orleans.
Jones was in California with a
string of . racers when tracks
closed last season.
Seasonal employes at both
tracks were paid off, as were a
number of state racing commis
sion men. Jockeys packed up
their silks.
