that he bought some books,
whose titles he does not recall,

Gambling
Curb Asked
By Mayor
Loguardia Proposes All
Cities in Big Leagues
Exchange Hot Information
By TED MEIER
NEW YORK, March 12 (P)
The major league baseball
spring training season opened its
fourth wartime campaign today
on the heels of a proposal from
Mayor Fiorello LaGuurdia thut
police in the big league cities
exchange information in an ef
fort to curb gambling on the
sport.
Assuring followers of the Gi
ants, Yankees and Dodgers in
his weekly Sunday radio talk
over WYNC that "we are going
to keep baseball clean," La
Guurdia declared: "I want to
try to arrange for exchange of
identification and information
with other; cities where the big
leagues play so that Philadelphia
will know the New York thugs
and thieves and we will know
the Philadelphia thugs and
thieves and likewise all of the
cities on the circuit."
"We are going to be very, very
tough with these racketeers," the
mayor asserted. "Known gam
blers will not be permitted with
in the Yankee stadium, Polo
Grounds and Ebbets field. Cer
tain boxes around third base in
one club and another box that 1
know of will be thoroughly dis
infected even if I have to put Po
lice Commissioner Valentine in
the box."
"I hope," he continued, "that
the-managers of the teams will
ndt announce their pitchers the
day before the game. In fact, it
would be good to switch them
and kind ot confuse the gamblers."
The mayor said he already naa
talked with Branch Rickey,
president of the Dodgers, and
Horace Stoneham, president of
the Giants, and that he expected
to see President Ford Fnck of
tho National league todav.
Meantime, the championship

gamblers had been disclosed." ..
Dr. Harry Gideonse, president
of the college, asserted that the
"difficulty arose in the adminis
tration of. our present policies
rather than in their character"
and that Pearlstein "deliberately
misled college officers, including
his coach, by false stories about
difficulties he was experiencing
in his academic studies and by
securing his coach s signature to
routine documents which he
never filed."
Bromberger declared "Brook
lyn college must immediately in
sist upon a reversal of the result
of basketball games that it won
while Pearlstein was a member
of the squad" and apologize to
the opposing schools. Pearlstein
expelled after the gambling dis

Indoor Track
Meets Tops,
Says Lid man
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, March 12 (T)
Huukan Lidmau, Stockholm's
hurdling sports editor, thinks
Swedish track fans would go for
indoor track competition but
doubts that Swedish athletes
could stand the strain of year-
rouna competition.
Lidman, fourth in tho 1936
Olympics and winner of a 60
yard exhibition a week ago, said
today that his country has noth
ing to compare with the indoor
track festivals common to this
country.
"Such enthusiasm!" said the
writer-athlete who has become a
Madison Square Garden favorite
because of his ballet-like warm
up. "I am sure Stockholm crowds
would cheer as much, however,
u iney comet see sucn races.
But he points out that indoor
competition might injure Swe
den's domination of the outdoor,
middle distance events.
"Gunder Hacgg hasn't been
able to win here because he is
not in condition," he explained.
Hacgg was last on March 3 and
fifth in a six-man field Saturday
night in a pair of mile races,
both of which were won by
James Rafferty. Saturday's win
ning time was 4:10.3.

Points; Hanson Scores IS
By The Associated Press
The northern division, Pacific
Coast conference, busketbull
spotlight today shifted to Eu
gene, Ore., where Washington
State college and the University
of Oregon will resume their
division playoff Friday with the
Webfoots holding a one-gamo ad
vantage. If the Cougars win Friday, the
final game will be played hatur
day. Bob Hamilton, who developed
a habit ot rising to important
occasions in Oregon's regular
season play, did it again Satur
day night as he led his mates to
a 51-41 triumph over tho Cou
gars at Pullman.
The Cougars started out to
make a run-away of the contest,
and it was not until 16 minutes
ot the first halt had passod that
Hamilton hit his stride to pull
his team into a 18-19 half-time
Washington State ran up a 7-1
lead in the first four minutes
and was ahead, 17-12 at 10 min
utes when Hamilton went to
work. . . .
The Cougars took the lead
again briefly as the second half
opened, but with two minutes
gone. Guard Jim Bartelt looped
a field goal to put Oregon ahead,
24-23.
Then, with Hamilton and Bar
telt sharing the load, tho Web
foots barged on to amass a 46-31
margin with but four minutes to
play.
Vince Hanson, Washington
State's top offensive threat,
sparked a rally at that point but
the Cougars already were away
out of the running.
Hamilton's efforts were worth
20 points. Hanson bagged 13 for
the Cougars.
