And claim that only twice in all game* for which Newcastle has pointed have they failed to connect . . , They're proudest of the 3<30 triumph over Anderson that knocked the Indian* out <>f the tp for i the hlg ten title.

Tiger backers says that the Peru quint started slow, picked up speed in mid-season, and are still picking up in the home stretch . . . They're particularly proud of the 31-30 defeat which the Berries handed them in a tight ball gam* . . . And they »ay that the one defeat may spell the Berries downfall . . . Because the Tigers believed they should have won . . . And are out to prove it in the regional. Another strong boost for Frankfort came up today ... A sectional official said "thia Frankfort club is going to win the state, and I don't think any team is going to come within ten points of them" ~ . Hut Lebanon, which averaged over 5e point* per game through the sectional, perhap* wilt play the Hol Dog* in the regional . . . j And there* always Hammond possibly waiting in the seml-fln ' als . . . And Hammond s nobody's pushover. Nominations for the toughest regional game to forecast . . ~ Southport versus Anderson on the Indian court . . . That is, if both come through . . . New Winchester hasn't to*sed in the towel yet . . . And probably will give South- | port quint all the battle they can handle Ossian, who may meet the champion Archers in the regional final, come* up with a pretty fair season record -three losses In 27 games . . . And all by one point margins . . . Victims, however, have all been small team*.

Santa Anl'a and Englewood, two, of the biggest racing plants tn the ' I'n It cd State*, there la an ever-1 growing feeling that unless there I i* a drastic change in the situation racing will cease in this state ‘ within five year*. People who are against legalized racing and people who are for It are beginning to agree that unless the tracks , voluntar.iy cut the number of racing days they will lie dosed altogether. In the short space of one year Hollywood park at Inglewood apparently ha* seen the handwriting on the wall. Because today the track manager of the lavish Hollywood layout, speaking for the executive committee, urged that the state's share of the parimutuel wagertug proceed* be Increased and that there he a reasonable re- • duction in the number of day* al-1 lotted California tracks each sea*-1 on. He said he believed such a change necemiary it the sport were , to be perpetuated. All over the Ktate merchants and banker* are rising np against the tidal wave of bettiug.

The state ha* done Ita beat to limit race gambling to th«**e who actually go to the track, but no law enforcement body has ever been able to atamp out the fly-by night bookies who clip the little man who hasn't the time or the money to go to the track. Os course, the entire SM.OOO.nOO bet last year for Instance, wasn't taken away from the people who bet it. But 14 per cent of It waa. which went to the state and the tracks, and 14 per cent of |B<.- : 000.000. in a whacking lot of ready caah by my flgurea It would pay i the bill* owed to many a butch- , er. baker and candlestick make The horse race gambling fever ils easier to catch in California than a common cold.
