YORK, April 15.—The hill to legalize machine bettinjr at the New York tracks has been defeated and the bookmakers with all that they symbolize will continue to dominate the ring for the next several years at least. It seems to me the first thing 1 that should be done is to have Gov. Lehman instigate an investigation into the widely reported rumor that the bookmakers accumulated a huge sum of mor.ey to lobby against the bill, the passage of which obviously would put them out of business. There have open admissions that such a fund was started and up to now nobody has proved it wasn’t used Unttl the existence of such a fund is disproved the natural disposition will be to look upon the defeat of the bill with certain suspicions. ‘ a a a bob THE result is that New York, the nation’s leading racing center, must go along with an outmoded, archaic system of betting that is both unsatislactory to the customer as a means of betting and unsatisfactory to the state as a source of revenue. What s more, the present system of betting, as pointed out by Senator Dunnigan. scarcely is fool-proof and a test case in any court might result in closing the tracks altogetner. Apart from the very important item of increased revenue, this was another reason why the bill should have been passed. The about-face tactics of Senators Twomey and Crawford, enthusiastic crusaders for the machines a year ago, still remains unexplained. Twomey’s deep concern about the price of oats as it affects the horse owners and Crawford’s great pity for the textile workers of New England ofler something less than a powerful argument. ana nan IT begins to be apparent that practically nobody wanted the machines but the customers. Naturally the bookmakers didn’t want them because that would mean the end of their racket. The tracks, which collect from S6OOO to SOOOO a day from the bookmakers for gambling privileges, seemed more than content to ride along And the big gamblers always have b-en opposed to the machines because in the machines they are in effect betting against themselves. That is to say the more they bet the more they drive the odds down. One of the evils of horse racing per se is the big gambler. It is around him that all the frauds and scandals whirl. If there is a fix he is always in on it. and \erv frequently it is a fix of his own creation. The machines put him on a level with the $2 bettor, where he belongs if he belongs at all. a a a a a a SO the defeat of the bill is a multiple defeat. It defeats the states ambition to collect dollars instead of dimes for revenue; it defeats the plan for solid legal betting on a modern convenient basis, and, finally, it defeats the effort to rid the turf of the big gambler. If the state is to permit the tracks to sell betting privileges it seems to me only fair that the state should get a very large part of the swag. In the days of oral betting there were just as many bookmakers at the tracks and they paid nothing for their positions. The only difference now is they pay for a privilege made possible by a legislative dispensation. Why then should the tracks get all this money? „ a a a a a CERTAINLY it is ridiculous that New York tracks with 178 racing days should pay only $284,875 to the state when the New Hampshire tracks with onlv 76 racing days, paid $680,048. With these figures at hand it seems pertinent to ask whether the Legislature had the prosperity of the tracks in mind or the condition of the state treasury when it liberalized the betting laws a year ago. More than $1 000.000 was paid to the tracks by bookmakers last year for their positions in the betting ring. Out of this the state got only the tax imposed on admission tickets, the system being to sell the bookmaker about S9O worth of tickets each day. I think at least half of this SI.OOO 000 should have gone to the state.

Culver Ends Spring Grid Practice With Banquet Cadets at Military Academy Anxious to Book Game Here; Promise to Bring Black Horse Troop.

RY DICK MILLER Times Sports Writer CULVER. Inri.. April 15.—The writer ran into something new here Saturday night m the form of football banquets. Grid banquets are rather abundant from the time the season ends in the fall until well up into midwinter. Culver Military Academy had its celebration in December. at which time the players were duly honored for their season play, but Henry (Hank) Lyons, new Culver athletics director, likes his football, so Saturday night occasioned a spring football banquet.

Lyons is completing his first year as sports director at Culver and from all we could gather here Saturday night. Hank likes Culver very much. The compliment was returned from many sources. Saturday afternoon climaxed a three-week period of spring football for the cadets, which promises •to become an annuai routine. Parents, trustees and aiumni were invited to the campus to witness a game in the afternoon staged between two picked teams, the Reds and the Blues. They fought to a scoreless tie so every one would be happy at the feast in the evening. Coaches for the two teams were ex-C, pt. Ralph Champney of Detroit Mich., and Captain-Elect Oscar Boetticher of Evansville. Boetticher was a former Central High star who followed Coach Lyons here from downstate. Lyons was head football coach at Bosse High of Evansville for five years, during which time his teams lost only three games, captured the city title three times, finished in the runnerup position once and in third place once.

MAJOR MATHER was toastmaster at the banquet. Col. Robert Rossow. commandant. now completing his thirtieth year at Culver, urged the boys to greater sportsmanship and cited some iTcent athletic encounters in which the Culver boys displayed a very lush brand of the thing he sought most. Graduating Captain Champney discussed the feeling of one departing from such fine surroundings and companions, and Bootticher. who will lead the Maroon and White on the greensward next fall, told of his feelings alter a few months on the can'pus. He climaxed his talk with the explanation of how he recently received by mail from his mother in Evansville a trophy inscribed "Spirit." to be awarded to the boy who displayed the best spirit in spring football. She thought of the award after listening to his narration of the increased interest in football the past fall and spring. Elmer Layden. athletics director at Notre Dame, reminded the boys of the fact they only realize what love they hold for school and pals after they have moved on. He narrated several experiences of his playing days under Knute Rockne Fost Adjt. Col. Elliott and Col. Chamber of St. Louis, secretary of the trustees. made short addresses. mam COACH LYONS announced a schedule for next fall and disclosed tha r he had made efforts to card a game In Indianapolis with either Cathedral or Shortririge The capital city trams had completed their 1935 cards, but he said immediate efforts are to be made to schedule a 1936 game, which, if carded will result in practically all rs Culver moving to Indianapolis on tbai day.

ities would like to put on in Indianapolis an exhibition similar to the one annually given in Chicago, he said. Next fall his team will open with Broad Ripple of Indianapolis at Culver on Oct. 5 and will play Shattuck Military Academy at Fairbault. Minn., on Oct. 12. Culver will entertain McKinley of Chicago on Oct. 10 and a tilt with Hyde Park of Chicago has been tentatively arranged for Oct. 26. Calumet of Chicago will cone here Nov. 2, but whether it will be Parker High of Chicago or North Side or South Side of Ft. Wayne here on Nov. 9 has not been definitely decided upon. All Culver will move to Chicago on Nov. 16 for the game against Morgan Field Military Academy at Soldiers’ Feld. The windup will come on Thanksgiving Day with Mishawaka here and will open an annual home and home arrangement that will find Culver playing m the Notre Dame Stadium every other year. There is an overloading of this year's schedule now with Chicago teams. Coach Lyons said, and it is hoped that Indianapolis can be the scene of a game for the cadets in 1936.

INDIANS HEAD FOR OPENER AT COLUMBUS

Tribe Closes Spring Drill With Victory Defeats Terre Haute Club, 12 to 2; Gallivan to Start Tomorrow. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor All aboard. for another championship race in the American Association ! Manager Red Killefer led his 1935 model Indians out of the city today headed for Columbus to answer the starting bell for the chase down the long, long pennant trail. The league schedule opens tomorrow with Indianapolis at Columbus, Louisville at Toledo, Minneapolis at St. Paul and Milwaukee at Kansas City. The Hoosiers are matched with the 1934 champion Red Birds at the outset and the Tribesmen are eager to get going, and believe they will surprise the dopesters by jumping off to a fast start. The Killeferites closed their spring training in Terre Haute yesterday by slaughtering Bill Burweli’s Three-I Leaguers, 12 to 2, and on Saturday, in Mayfield, Ky., the Indians handed out a drubbing to the Toledo Mud Hens, 12 to 1. It was the second American Association rival knocked off by the Tribe, Louisville having been trounced soundly in an earlier tilt at Union City, Tenn. The batting eyes of the Tribesters cleared up over the week-end and the boys amassed 19 hits Saturday and 12 yesterday. The Indians received a bad break on Saturday. how r ever, when Shortstop Otto Bluege, who has been the infield spark plug, went on the hospital list with a back injury. He was hurt sliding and while it looked like a minor injury at the time, it was a different story last night. Bluege hardly was able to straighten up and stated that he feared it meant his absence from the lineup on opening day tomorrow.

Rhein Booked for Shortstop Ralph Rhein has been nominated to hold down the short field until Bluege recovers. Rhein was picked up by the Indians in 1934 and was farmed out to Wilmington of the Piedmont League where he batted 277. He is a Californian. Joe (Babes Lawrie is the other extra infielder. Phil Gallivan has been delegated to face the Columbus Red Birds in the inaugural struggle at Columbus. He pitched no-hit ball for five innings against Toledo Saturday. Phil is a right-hander and last season was a member of the Chicago White Sex. He came to Indianapolis in the Vernon Washington deal and is imbued with the ambition to become a consistent winner in the American Association and thereby earn a return trip to the majors. Jim Turner and Myles Thomas, early choices for the opening day mound assignment, went down under the wet weather and cold breezes of western Kentucky and came up with ailing shoulders. Gallivan then requested to be “put on the spot," and Chief Killefer readily granted Phil the important assignment. The Indians came in from Terre Haute last night and established headquarters at the Claypool Hotel. They were slated to take a final workout at Perry Stadium around noon r.oday and then pack again and shove oil for Columbus late in the afternoon. The Killeferites will perform in Columbus and Toledo before staging their home opening on Tuesday, April 23. New Uniforms Handed Out The following pastimers will make, the trip to the Ohio cities of the league. Catchers—Riddle, Sprinz and Moore. Pitchers—Gallivan, Myles Thomas, Turner, Page, Chamberlain, Walsh, right-handers, and Sharp and Harris, left-handers. Stewart Bolen, veteran southpaw of last year's year's staff, is still on the hospital list. Jim Elliott, southpaw purchased from Portland recently, won't be in shape until the team returns home. Infielders Heath, Sherlock, Bedore, Bluege. Rhein and Lawrie. Outfielders—Stephenson, Cooney, Stoneham and Cotelle. All other players who were members of the squad when stakes were pulled at the Mayfield training camp Saturday were left with Bill Burwell at Terre Haute yesterday where they will try out with the Three-I League Tots. The Hoosiers were to hold a dress rehearsal at Perry Stadium today. New uniforms were issued for ‘'tryons" and the Tribesters are sure to be one of the best-dressed nines in the American Association. New "suits” for both home and road games were purchased. Killefer Elated Over Hitting The Indians are going on their first road trip short of an experienced left-handed pitcher and the absence of both Bolen and Elliott may prove to be a heavy handicap during the first two series. Elliott was scheduled to join the club in Terre Haute yesterday, but requested one more week of training. Jim tßusty) Sharp and Bill Harris both semi-pro rookies, were the only southpaws leaving with the Tribe for the Buckeye capital today. Manager Killefer expressed high elation over the manner in which his team suddenly came to life with the bludgeon in the last two exhibition games. Cooney and Bedore led the attack at Terre Haute yesterday with three hits each and Bedore batted in three runs. Dettman. first base, was the standout hitter for the Tots with three singles, and Mountz, left fielder, blasted a homer off Myles Thomas in the ninth. The Indians employed four hurlers. Page. Sharp, Harris and Thomas. Sharp struck out three Tots in the fifth and Harris fanned three in a row in the sixth. A number of Indianapolis fans made the journey to Te’ ft Haute for the exhibition.

Kuss gets a test against Burns, experienced matman from the West who made an impressive showing here earlier in the season against Ray Steele.

The Three-I team there is an Indianapolis “farm'' and “Professor" Burwell, manager, still has more than 50 players to look over. Red Birds Expect Big Crowd Columbus expects to entertain a big opening day crowd tomorrow if the weather is clear. The Red Birds' officials have put plenty of steam back of the build-up and the fans there have promised to give Ray Blades’ club a rousing sendoff. The Indians continue to attract support as the league flag darkhorse, according to gossip picked up around the circuit. The Indians have a superior infield over last year and the mound staff will look better than the 1934 hurling roster when it is fully organized. The same catchers are back, with Dee Moore, a rookie, pepping up the competition. Right field is still a doubtful position, but Johnny Stoneham will start there with Como Cotelle in reserve.

AFTER seeing some action with the Indianapolis Indians last season, Clifton (Red) Wright, former Indiana University pitcher from Greentown. Ind., and Ralph Rhein, infielder, have caught on with the Tribe squad for the coming campaign. Both are youngsters. Rhein, a California product, may see action at shortstop tomorrow for Otto Bluege, regular, who has a sprained back. The Tribe sent Ralph to Ft. Wayne last year, but the Central League collapsed and he moved on to Wilmington of the Piedmont League, where he hit .277 for the remainder of the season. Red Wright is a right-handed pitcher and probably will be used as a reserve.

Down the Alleys BY BERNARD HARMON

Charlie Smith and Bud Howe added a 92-pin handicap to an actual 1255 to gain a 1347 grand total and top money in the 400 scratch doubles conducted at the Illinois Alleys over the week-end. Howe collected 635 pins, while Smith’s contribution was a 620. Arthur Ford blazed away for a 676 total that netted him and his partner, Freddie Kinnan, a 1342 total, which was good for runnerup position. Their total included 122 charity pins. Harry Wheeler and John Blue, with only 2 pins handicap, copped third on a 1311. Wheeler paced the piir with a 689 series, while Blue provided a 620. Johnny Murphy teamed with John Beam to nab fourth place, the East Side youth carrying the “ABC Star” over with a 687 series. Beam had 575, and, combined with their 42-pin handicap, their grand total was 1304. Other prize winners were as follows: Murrin-Pierce (158), 1303; Cooper-Heckman (46), 1294; HardinMurphy (0), 1287. Wheeler's 689 series was the best of the two-day session. Oscar Behrens also put on a fine exhibition when he closed with a 290 game to total 685. John Murphy in his three appearances smacked out 685, 655 and 628. Other high totals "out of the money” came from Walt Heckman, who had 673, in his series with Lindamood; John Blue, who hit for a 660 as Paul Stemm's partner, and a 657 by Clarence Mack. Fifty-nine teams competed in the event. Harry Schomstein, using a handicap of 36 pins, totaled 640 to cop first place in the annual Insurance League post-season sweep-stakes, held at the Central Alleys Saturday afternoon.

Election of officers and a snappy five minute talk by Neil King preceded the pin tackling hostilities. Milo H. Doerfler was named president, Robert Blessing, vice president, and Ted Seiner, secretarytreasurer. King praised the circuit for its support of the bowling game and urged all present to lend their efforts toward creating new bowlers for the 1936 A. B. C. event, which will be held in Indianapolis next spring. The leaguers previously had pledged the entry of their eight teams in the event, and Mr. King thanked them for this gesture toward making the Irig show a success.
