Feb. 14, 1845 Pelicans to Clash With Grants Pass In Fight for 2nd By PAUL HAINES The scrappy little Klamath Pelicans, and they are both small and aggressive, will make a valiant effort over the week end to pull themselves up by their bootstraps into second place in the southern Oregon conference by putting the chill on the Cavemen from Grants Pass.' The Cavemen, fresh from two victories over the Ashland Griz- C1IDP1GID PAUL HAINES By FACE SHUTDOWN COSTLY According to Harry Grayson, NEA sports editor, government shutdown of the nation's race tracks is a costly procedure. Keeping the ponies and the dogs i r o m running costs millions of smackeroos, even in the dead of winter. The comptrol ler's office at Santa Anita has lust finished the big and sad job of mailing checks totaling $259,342.01 to the public and hnrpmpn for nn advance sale of HAINES Turf Club memberships, season boxes and tickets and nomina tion fees for stakes. About $42,700 of this amount would have gone to the gov ernment in amusement tax and tack on 20 per cent of all du cats that would have been sold during the 55 days, and it is estimated that another $700,000 would have gone into government coffers. In 1940-41, when they were off at Santa Anita for the last time, . the federal tax was $473,542.42. The state of Cali fornia collected $1,532,235.84 from Santa Anita racing four years ago and, brother, that ain't hay! It is extremely difficult for us to understand why, in the name of common sense, gam bling is not legalized in every state in the union as it is in Nevada.. The bluenoses howl to high heaven about the wages of sin, but there is so much gam bling in everybody that -this us the only logical and profitable way to Handle trie situation; - State gambling is controlled by competent authorities and the crooked bookie never wore shoe leather that an honest' cop can't chase off the street. Think of the fabulous amounts the states could realize in taxes alone to help clear up and bal ance other deficits. Why, in New York alone, $11,000,000 was realized from racing in 1844. New York, however, is only one of the 22 states that rec ognize pari-mutuel betting as le gal, mere is no doubt about it, the remaining states would do well to climb on the bandwagon ana join tne gravy train. The federal government is constantly appropriating a bil lion for this and a billion for that and then cuts its own . throat by putting the kibosh on racing with its tremendous tax revenue possibilities. Without going into salary distribution and a lot of other angles, the cost of keeping the ponies from running is appalling. Baseball's Valentine Eugene Captures District 6 Toga EUGENE.

MARCH OF DIMES ON ROLLER SKATES NEW YORK The biggest rol ler sknting show ever staged, with a cast of 900. indllriinff ni. tional champions and outstand ing performers from all parts of me united states, will put the March of Dimes on wheels at Madison Square Garden, Febru ary 27.

Last weekend, while Grants pass was lacing Ashland twice, the Pelicans were striving des perately to break the victory string of the Medford Black Tor nado to no avail. After absorb ing two beatings from the Tor nado over the weekend, the K men are in no mood to be trifled with and are grimly determined to boot Grants Pass off its pres ent perch on the second rung of the conference ladder. Medford is assured of walking off with the conference bunting but the battle for second place i another story with the race nar rowing down to a dogfight be tween the Cavemen and the Pel icans. Ashland is virtually out of the running and seems des tined to dwell at the bottom of the well. Cook has his sights trained on the coming district tournament at Ashland Normal February 23 24 and is priming his charges with fire and brimstone in a last, desperate effort to kick the dope bucket higher than the Empire State building and scourge the undefeated Medford cagers when they collide with Klamath in the initial canto. This does not mean that the Pelicans will be trimming sail when they clash with the Cave men, as they have a fondness for that second place roost equalled only by their liking for the top slot. So, when the firing ceases Saturday : night, the Pelicans hope to find themselves swim ming sevenely in the No. 2 pool. while the Cavemen struggle in the slough of defeat.

BASEBALL LEADS ' AMONG WAR PRISONERS NEW YORK Baseball is the great American pastime for U. S. prisoners of war in enemy concentration camps just the same as it is for sports lovers at home. A total of 1,200,000 balls has been shipped to such camps in Europe in the last two years by War Prisoners Aid. Sports which prisoners organize for themselves run from miniature golf to football, baseball, gym nastics, tennis and even archery, but the demand for baseball equipment leads the list.
