This query continues to pop up at close intervals, but there is no way to figure it, for the simple reason that no one knows just how much cash is bet away from the tracks and plaeed with the books. For example, New York tracks expect to see something between $70,000,000 and $80,000,000 shoved Into the mutuel machines before the final race is run in the late fall. But the brilliant start on opening day lifted this total to over $100,- 000,000. It was a far bigger success than any one had ever figured it would be, indicating by all odds the greatest season in the track history of New York. But vet- eran horsemen and wagerers who should know tell me this is only about 60 per cent of the total amount to be wagered if you count in the books. “I may bet from $2,000 to $5,000 on a single race,” one well-known player told me recently. “I know others who may bet much more. Do you think we are going to bet that much money in a machine and cut the odds in two? Why don't the lawmakers realize this and legalize a certain number of bookmakers who also will pay their taxes into the State? And don't forget this also is a big help to the smaller players who are looking for a bet- ter price.” Wagers Away From Track Can't Be Estimated This seems reasonable enough. The State, the track and the larger and lesser bettors all would get a beeter break. The law can wipe out bookmaking just as simply as it wiped out liquor in the amazing days of prohibition. There are several hundred mil- Hons bet away from the track each year. But no one can make an accurate estimate. As it is, in the mutuels of California, Forida, New York, Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois | and Louisiana the toll should pass $300,000,000. Perhaps $350,000,000. So you might estimate that some- thing like $500,000,000 a year is backed in, one way or another, by those who still figure they can pick ‘em. The earnest seeker for the truth at a race track has a busy day. Here is the order given to me by one of the more successful, or at least less unsuccessful, wagerers who does better than normal, anyway: 1, the horse; 2, the jockey; 3, the distance; 4, the weight; 5, the train- er; 6, the stable ownership. And, of course, track conditions—dry, fast, muddy, heavy. Beware of Hunches, Tips, Advice of Expert He also advises against playing hunches and taking too many tips. The most astonishing thing around a race track is the number of wild and woolly tips that are thrown around and quickly ab- sorbed. “I've seen fairly smart players, if there is any such animal, dope out four or flve winners before reaching the track—and then fail to back any of them. Touted off. I've seen this happen more often than you would believe. But still they keep on taking these tips, often from players who know far less than they do. The tip taker should be extremely careful of his information. There are a few who really know some- thing, but their number is small. Another battle the player must fight against human nature is the matter of playing too many horses in one race. I've seen many a player who proudly announced in loud tones: “Well, I got that one—right on the nose.” And a little later I saw him off in some obscure corner tearing up a handful of tickets on three or four losers in the same race. Wins $250,000 on Race, But Loses Money A short while back I was sitting with a well-known writer who sud- denly froze. “I've just found out,” he said, “that if I could call this race 1-2-3 I'd still lose $14.” Bizarre things can happen at a track. I know one player who won $250,000 on a race—and still losu money. heavily all over the country. he also had taken commissions from a bevy of friends on the same race and then had forgotten to place their bets. He had to make good for them. His name is well known in racing circles. Racing can be a great game for those who don't expect to make a living from it—for those who are willing to pay what they can afford to lose for the thrills they get. But any one who thinks he can whip the 10 to 12 per cent working against him—well, there isn’t much to be said along the lines of mentality. Especially on the part of those who try to beat every race, which about 00 per cent attempt, and then won- der who wielded the gas pipe or inserted the stiletto or “the inter- costal chive.” (Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

A few weeks ago Buddy Webb of Tech High School started to prac- tice a knuckle ball patterned after that owned by Dutch Leonard of the Nats and today he was one up on Washington's No. 1 hurler. While Leonard lost his opening assignment to Boston yesterday, Big Buddy won his from Woodrow Wilson, 2 to 0. Buddy worked hard for the victory. He trained faithfully last winter and listened carefully to the advice of his father, Heinie Webb, one of the town’s best sandlot pitchers, and when Eddie Polhamus of Wilson went down swinging to cinch the Maroon’s victory a sigh of relief swept over his hot, red face. Buddy has been a good pitcher for some time. Three years ago ‘when making his bow to high school sports and only 14 years of age he was good enough to step into a close Tech-Wilson game in the ninth inning and hold the foe scoreless and crack out a tenth-inning double that spelled success. Hits Across First Run. That hit was no flash in the pan, for unlike most hurlers, Buddy can sock the apple. By way of proving as much he stepped up to the plate in the first inning as cleanup man yesterday and poked a hard single to left that scored Ches Ciomei with the first run. As things turned out, that hit was enough to win the game, It hasn’t been an easy road for this overgrown, freckled-faced kid. After enjoying success three years ago he tripped over a basket ball and threw a hip out of joint. He spent most of that spring getting it back where it belonged and played no baseball. However, when the | sandlot boys turned out Buddy | joined them and won 15 out of 17 |starts for an American Junior League team. Last summer he won 10 out of 13 for the Landover nine. For Tech he won 3 out of 5. During the past winter Buddy went |out for basket ball and made the | first team. The main idea was to | lose about 25 pounds, and that’s just | what he did. His newly trimmed 220-pound frame helped yesterday and instead of tiring in the late stages of the game, Buddy was as strong as when he started. | Invincible in Pinches. Up to the eighth inning he had | allowed only two hits, both short | doubles over the right-field fence. During that time he had fanned nine batters, but four more im- portant ones were to follow Tech was stepping along with a 2-to-0 lead going into the last of the eighth when trouble threatened. With one down, Ralph Calisto, who had doubled in the third, singled. Norman Harry did likewise and the | hosts visioned runs. Not Buddy, however. He tightened his belt and calmly struck out Frank Hetten- kemer and Bart Fugler, mixing his | knuckle ball and a fast one. | inning, but Webb was too tough. This time Nino Briscuso, losing | hurler, who pitched a good game, | too, smashed his second double after one mate had been retired. Big | Roland Cornwall batted for John Kowileski and went down swinging. So did Eddie Polhamus, the last foe. | | Kessler Greatly Pleased. | Coach Bruce Kessler of Tech was | | pleasantly surprised with his team’s | | showing. It was the first game of | the season for his green squad and | while Webb was the big gun in the triumph, Kessler praised the | work of Charley Wilson, catcher, and Reds Green, shortstop. Both played heads-up ball. Lewis scored the sec- ond Tech run in the second inning. After singling he went around on a wild pitch, a passed ball and an infield out. ] Carl Heintel, Wilson coach, also | was pleased with the showing of his nine, which easily had won its first |two games with outside teams. It was a case of too much Buddy Webb, Heintel said after the game, and his players agreed heartily. | P 3 . A. Wilson.

The Terps were favored over Army, although on their home grounds and against the national champion the Cadets fig- ured to be anything but a pushover.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 17— Kansas City was enthroned today as the overwhelming favorite of baseball writers to win its second consecutive American Association championship this season. ‘Twenty-six members of the A.

Only four objections were heard. Two loyal Minneapolis scribes | picked the Millers, who finished sec- ond last year, while one Toledoan chose Indianapolis and another Toledoan took Louisville, 1939 play- ol‘l winner and junior world cham- plon. Louisville edged Minneapolis for runner-up honors in the balloting. Indianapolis got the nod for fourth to round out the first division. 8t.

NEW YORK, April 17.—The 57th International League baseball sea- son gets under way tomorrow, with most of the club rhanagers craning ‘thelr necks in the general direction of the big leagues as hard as the fans will be stretching theirs to see the doings on the fields. It's the same situation that ale ways marks the early part of & | minor league campaign and makes | it virtually impossible to compare | the strength of the teams unfil | they've had time to settle down. | Al eight clubs are starting with' | high hopes, but most of these hopes |depend upon players that still are expected from major league clubs to fill in the weak spots. The real novelty is the fact that the International will play a 161- | game season this year instead of the | usual 154. Seven games were added | 50 the length of the campaign would | match yp with that of the Ameri< can Association, which takes time jout in midseason for an all-star gare. Pre-season “dope” indicates that Newark and Syracuse are the most likely pennant prospects unless the others build up a lot. The Yankees have been putting their weight pe- hind the Bears, who have rounded up a strong team in every depart- ment. Syracuse lost two of last year’s best pitchers, John Gee and Jake Mooty, and is turning to powser this year with the aid of such ace. quisitions from Pittsburgh as Ed Yount, Ace Parker and Jack Juelich, Eastern, Central Face Testing Games; Mount Rainier Wins; Bethesda, Anacostia Tie A pair of Alexandria high school teams were to provide the opposl-‘ tion for two of Washington's inter- | high members today as Eastern and Jentral journeyed across the Poto-‘ mas for games with Episcopal and | George Washington, respectively. | Most of the interest was wrapped up in the Eastern-Episcopal tilt as Coach “Chief” Guyon unveiled his 1940 club for the first time this | season.
