SPORTS Newspapers currently are devoting many columns to reperts of gambling in sports—both pro- fessional and the so-called simon pure variety—and to inaugurated, particularly by collegiate their athietic hc programs being conferences toward cleaning out The highlight focus much of the current criticism is, of course brought into the ection with the National episode which has bribery attempt made in con: Professional Football League championship game, of which ear-old Alvin Paris sta convicted to face a possible 10 years in prison Now that a verv great amount of fuel has been poured cnto the flames, league officia have at last seen. fit to invoke a suspension and perhaps bring charges against the two players involved: but until a showdown was ced upon them, the professic football entrepreneurs in this matter seemed to hold it remaine to a rather ve attitude. At any rate ed for the wire-tapping New York police to uncover the not very shadowy activities of Mr. Paris. Yet, accord- ing to M e J. Walsh, an Assistant United States Attorney at Chicago, the operations of the syndicate which has been operating in professional football in the three months of the season just ended yielded a net vrofit of not less than 25 million dollars If gambling activities on such a scale escaped the notice or suspicion of the professional football club owners, then it can only be concluded that these men are either singularly naive or deliberately uncbservant It is also of interest that apparently neither of the players who were approached by Mr. Paris considered it his responsibility to report the offer cither to the league officials or to the authorities. ‘The gambling influx has brought about a situation 50 aggravated that the judge handling the case refused to admit the accused Paris to bail on the ground that he might be permanently “silenced” by gamblers with a preference for the thing” and who have connections with even more sinister rackets. And this “sure gambling influx is far from being confined to the sphere of prefessional football There is evidence that a large number of club owners within the ranks of organized baseball, seeing their large investmments threatened by gambling, are thoroughly alaimed by the situation and fear that it news already has got beyond control. In the midst of the investigation of the attempted football coup came startling charges of corruption among minor league professional bgseball pl The charges are brought by J. Walter Morris, President of the Evangeline League (Class D) of Louisiana, and are said to have been based on reports by private detectives engaged by the league to in A scamdal of has been vy are made know. proportions, Mr. uncovered that the deta ‘will rock the baseball world." Mr. Morris’ assertion gives emphasis to the state- ments made earlier at Los Angeles by Judge W. G Bramham, retiring Commissioner of the National As- soclation of Professional Baseball Leagues. Evidence has been found, Judge Bramham said, that some play who e in collusion with gamblers, had been | placing bets against their cwn clubs. An instance was even uncovered where all the players of a baseball | club were involved with professional gamblers. ; This degeneration of the players has evidently been | accompanied by laxity on the part of the club owners and employees. The practice of excluding known | gamblers from ball parks has been allowed to la; | jand in some minor league cities, according to Judge | | Bramham, gamblers were permitted to “cry their odds 'like auctioneers” in the grandstand aisles.

Henry | Messerschmidt went along as manager and was also to stage a “Railroad Dance” at the First City. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Stocker left for the south enroute on a tour of Europe. They were to be gone until October. A mattress and several blankets were all that were damaged in a fire at noon at the J. Monagle residence, Fifth and East. Phil Jolie was registered at the Gastineau W. A. Eaton, owner of a mine at Klag Bay, was at the Gastineau. Little Albert Uberti celebrated his seventh birthday at Douglas by giving a party to his schoolmates. Sam Guyot was returning home cn the Northwestern after a year-end business trip to Seattle. Jack Burford had rejoined the Alaskans, orchestra, after a trip to the States in which he had picked up several musical stunts. Mike Seston left for Ketchikan to be on the sidelines during the there could be some merit to the ingenious formula!gpie jady when it comes to women's | bowling tournament. | devised by Ray Dumont, head of the National Base- | ball Congress, an organization of semiprofessional leagues and clubs. Mr. Dumont proposes that players | be given exactly two bours in which to report any infraction of the anti-gambling code which may come to their knowledge. An inventor claims he has constructed a machine that thinks. If so, this is one machine that won't throw many people out of work ‘A groub of scientists are planning to take a picture of the earth from an altitude of 65 miles."— port. Under current conditions, this enough distance to lend enchantment to the view. isn't ne Backsliding (Washington Post) Less is heard today about any movement for wholesale destruction of the Legislative Reorganiza- tion Act approved by the last Congress in a moment of enlightenment. Republican leaders have let it be known that they intend to put into effect the stream- | lined machinery devised by the La Follette-Monroney Committee, with changes to be made only in the light of experience. But a more subtle attack is being launched. Representative W. Sterling Cole, ranking Republican member of the House Naval Committee, has struck the first blow in an effort to break up this reform piecemeal All Mr. Cole asks is a splitting up of the new Com- mittee cn Armed Services into separate Army and Navy segments once more. His plea for “just this one exception” to the Reorganization Act is directly related, | of course, to his ambition to become chairman of a w‘m:uur committee. Equally plausible arguments might be made by dozens of other members of Congress, and if they were heeded the improved congressional com- mittee system would be a shambles. The only possible |way to avoid that sort of calamity is to prevent any and all breaks in the new committee line-up that met with appoval at the last session. | We take no stock in the argument that the Mili- tary and Nava] Gommittee should not be merged until | the armed forces themslves have been brought under lone l:ead. On the contrary, we think that this mod- ernization of our legislative machinery dealing directly | with the armed services will hasten the seemingly | agonizing process of Army-Navy unification. A back- | ward step of the kind Mr. Cole is pleading for would | not only encourage the reactionary minority that would | like to scuttle the La Follette-Monroney Act; it would ‘al,:n strengthen the recalcitrants who close their eyes {to the lessons of the war and put sentiment and | | privilege above the necessity for unified defense.

LAWKENCE SEAWAY PUSHED Remembering the disastrous ef- fect of the recent coal strike, Sen- ator George Allen, hard-working Vermont Republican, called at the White House last week to put in another argument for the long-de- | layed St. Lawrence Seaway. { Leading Congressional champion of the Seaway, Aiken did not have to tell President Truman any of the background of the long fight' which has continued ever since the days of Coolidge. The President’ himself, while in the Senate, had been one of those friendly to Ai-| ken's cause. | “This coal strike was such a tragedy in New England,” Aiken said, “while just a few miles away were the natural resources to pro- vide us with the power we wouldt have needed to keep our local eco- | nomy on an even keel. i “It was ‘a tragic thing to s?ei hundreds of thousands of people* tremble in fear of a prolonged coal shortage when for the oppo-‘ sition of die-hard financial inter- ests they could have been assured at least of sufficient electric cur-| rent for their needs.” | Aiken explained that he did not| come to “sell” the President on| ST. “Republicans cannot aiford to!
