Grand Jury Bears Down on Tipsters and Poor Little Bettor Suffers, Joe Moans Peddlers of Sure-Thing Information Are Seldom Right, but Clients Never Lose Faith, Williams Confides; Many Things Happen in Race. BY JOE WILLIAMS Timn Sprcial Writer NEW YORK. Dec. s—The race track: A New York grand jury has returned an appalling number of indictments against certain altruistic gentlemen who dedicate their lives to the increased prosperity of their fellowman

These gentlemen although vulgarly described as tipsters by the law. are known to their benefactors as horse salesmen, which is to say they sell at a very moderate cost horses that are sure to win on any specified occasion. Their interest is largely philanthropic. They merely wish to share with the less fortunate their priceless information as to the potentials of the horse and the intent of the owner. These horse salesmen look upon the bookmaker as a common enemy, a symbol of grasping capitalism which threatens the more abundant life. They are generals in a mass attack: their clients form the infantry. For years this high-minded, idealistic struggle, aided by the horse journals, has been going forward. And now the law steps in to lift a restraining hand, and to paint an entirely different picture of the movement, in the eyes of the law these horse salesmen are very unscrupulous persons whose only purpose is shamelessly to defraud the very persons they pretend to be helping. And the law insists this is an evil business and must cease. u a a TO some of us who have been getting information at a modest sum from old Col. Nathan Bedford Withers, the parlay king, and exJockey Beerhead, the best bet specialist, this comes as discouraging news. True, the colonel and the exjockey seldom sold us a winning horse, but then we appreciated the difficulties they faced. So many things can happen in a race. We will admit there have been times when we picked up the horse journals and were mildly startled to find that the colonel and the exjockey advertised as winning a quite different horse from the one sold us. But then a lot of things can happen in an office which publishes a horse journal, too. Typographical errors, for instance. o a THE point is we never lost faith. The unromantic—people who never saw' a sunset in the mountains, never heard a pink-faced baby laugh, never read an Eddie Guest poem—these people called us suckers. But through it all we held to our faith with grips of steel. Not even the drenching optimism of the New Dealers, or the glow of the Rooseveltian smile, could persuade us to desert the horse salesmen. We knew' our real true friends. The ruthless action of the unimaginative upstate jurists is a heavy blow. We do not know where to turn. Without the sympathetic, understanding support of the horse salesmen we have little to hope for in the worst of all possible worlds.

We will now have to start selling horses to ourselves but it will never be the same. A sucker just can’t have any fun being taken by himself. an a BASEBALL: It is announced the bdseball magnuts are going to do something about the umpire problem at the winter meeting next week. Specifically, they are going to take steps to curb the authority of the bouncers in blue. These are what might be termed steps in the right direction. The umpires do carry too much authority, and they should be deflated. But w'hen the magnuts—and the league presidents get together—they should take inventory of themselves. They should say, "This is a problem we brought on ourselves.” Umpirical tyranny dates back to the start of the American League and a really great baseball man by the name of Ban B. Johnson. tt a a IT dates back to the time when rowdyism in the stands matched rowdyism on the field. Conditions were such that it was necessary to have strong men in control. As the years passed these strong men—the umpires—took on added strength because of the relative weakness of Mr. Johnson’s successors—not only in the American League but in the National League, because in his time Mr. Johnson dominated both leagues. These successors adopted a credo, and the credo was ‘‘the umpire is always right.” That w'as the easy way out for the Lynches, Heydlers, Barnards and—to come down to the present, the Harridges and the Fricks. And up to a certain point I agree, the umpire should always be light, i mean to say his decision should stand. But no umpire should have the authority to throw a ball player out of a game, except under circumstances that a cop would give the old heave-o to a confirmed incorrigible in a bar room. a u a THE umpire has the authority to fine a ball player. That should be enough. The fine sticks or does not stick depending on the mood of the club owner. Usually the fine doesn't stick. Consequently the ball player stands there and laughs at the umpire. Very few umpires have an appreciation of laughter. The next step is to throw the ball player out of the game. This is not so good from the point of view of the customer. He develops the very pertinent point that he came out to see the ball player and not the umpire. But when you check back you find the umpire is not at fault; it is the magnut and the league president. They’ve coddled the umpires too much. So when the magnuts and the league presidents get together at the winter meeting next W'eek they should start out by saying, “we’ve been all wrong.” Such an admission would make it unanimous. The people have known they’ve been all wrong for years.

Blue Devils Elect Adams as Captain Back Who Never Totes Ball Is Honored. The Shortridge High School football team has elected Robert Adams to act as captain during the 1936 season. Adams has won a letter in the grid sport for two seasons, holding down the quarter back position. He never has carried the * ball or called a signal, doing all of blocking for the Blue Devils. He probably will be shifted to full back next year. Other returning lettermen will be Dick Rehm, guard, and Dave Crockett, half back. Ten other members of this year’s squad also will be back to bolster the North Siders’ championship hopes.

will vote against American participation in the 1936 Olympic games at Berlin, the United Press learned today. A high official of the A. A. U. admitted that the Olympic "antis’— those favoring withdrawal Decause of alleged racial discrimination in Germany—may be able to pass a resolution to that effect. The American Olympic committee, which has accepted the invitation through its president, Avery Brundage, scoffed at Indications that the three-oay meeting would develop into a bitter fight over American participation. ‘‘lf any one expects bombs to

burst, he Is sadly mistaken,” Brundage said last night. “The A. A. U. is but one of 70 organizations affiliated with the A. O. C., and so you see the committee can get along without its sanctions. The committe has the Olympic say, not any one unit or a dozen units.” The aftermath, should the A. A. U. vote against the games, could have a tremendous effect on amateur sport in this country. A team could still go abroad, under A. O. C. certification. But all athletes who competed could be suspended from further A. A. U. competition.
