LAS VEGAS, April 16. E. W. Cragin, mayor of this city, announced today-that he had taken semi-official action to back up his charges that the tax commission has no authority to grant or revoke gambling licenses. He said that, in a letter to Gov.

The Las Vegas city board of commissioners had tabled the request. In Carson earlier this week, Mr.

Cahill said that a Nevada Turf club license to operate race horse book in the hotel was granted just recently. He said granting such license had been delayed by a state wide investigation of race horse book operations in Nevada Started by the commission in January. Mayor Cragin took- issue with Mr. Cahill's published statements, Saying that the Elwtll hotel had pot been granted a- license that it was still unable to operate face horse book. "Elwell is still without a state permit and under, our ordinances, the money he advanced for the first quarter of 1948 cannot be returned to him or applied to another quarter.

He has lost his money," the mayor said. In his letter to the governor, the mayor pointed out that the Elwell family has been in Las Vegas for SO years and that the hotel repre-ents an investment of half a million dollars. At the time the Elwell interests were refused a gambling license, said the mayor, it was rumored in Las Vegas that the "tax commission was making this rule and that rule and that it was going to make certain changes relative to all gambling houses in Las Vegas." The mayor told the governor that after Elwell's request for continuation of his license was denied, he, the mayor, had made statements at the commissioners meeting that it was his opinion and that of legal counsel that if the commission or Mr. Cahill were making such decisions, they were acting without legal authority. "It is obvious to me that the legislature itself bas the right to limit the number of licenses for the public good but this authority cannot be delegated to the Nevada tax commission," the mayor's letter said.

"Any unwarranted restrictions on the issuance of licenses might very well result in monopolistic conditions throughout the state. Money collected from gambling fees by cities and counties is used to meet our budget requirements and it amounts to a considerable amount in Las Vegas and Reno. "If the commission rules on other licenses as it did in the Elwell case, then these funds are in jeopardy," the mayor told the a high rate of speed.

The shape of the piece of real estate nestling below Coogan's Bluff that makes up the Polo Grounds is the reason for the cramped layout of the playing field, with its close foul poles and famous "Chinese" homers. some districts not yet reporting. mm SPHNG Military Defense is Lions Topic I ability of appreciably strengthening the nation's military defenses was stressed in a talk Thursday noon before the Reno Lions club by Col.

Describing the potentialities of the atomic bomb, Colonel Parker expressed the opinion that no nation would ever use it in warfare. Following the talk, Lt. Col.

In deep center, at the club house and the Eddie Grant Memorial Shaft, it's a long 482 feet. This same distance at Moana measures 400 feet. Unlike Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, where a screen shuts cheap home runs in right field, the Polo Grounds has never used the chicken wire, even in front of the lower deck. As a result of this, the park has been the home run paradise of lively ball players like Mel Ott, Babe Ruth, and now Johnny Mize and Willard Marshall.

In 1913 the Yankees took over the Polo Grounds for a ten year stretch. It was during this time in 1920 that Ruth introduced the home run era with 54 circuit wallops. The next season he belted 59 and all records went by the board. The distinction of driving the first ball over the present Polo Grounds roof was won by Joe Jackson and Tony Lazzeri is in the record books with a grand slam jn the 1936 World Series. One of the most publicized round-trippers was "Home-Run" Baker's, made off Mathewson in the, 1911 series.

John McGraw and Christy Mathewson are really the center of Polo Grounds history. They are responsible for bringing the Giants out of the doldrums to make them the toast of all New York. McGraw's managing and Matt's pitching wizardry rocketed the club into a great string of pennant victories. The first of these victories was in 1904 when Matty won 33 games. In 1905 the Giants beat the Athletics in a five-game World Series.

Matty, believe it or not, pitched three shutouts in six days! Many noteworthy incidents have had the Polo Grounds as a background. It was there that Merkle pulled his famous boner, failing to touch second as the winning run was crossing the plate with two out in the ninth. And there also Heinie Zimmerman chased Eddie Collins across an unguarded plate in another widely discussed series. The Grounds was also the scene of the greatest "strike out" story in All-Star history. In 1934, Carl Hub-bell fanned Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons, and Cronin in a row! In the fall of 1925 a 16-year-old schoolboy, from Louisiana came to the Polo Grounds to become Mc-Graw's boy.

He went on to smash many batting records and to become the present manager and hope of Broadway to bring back the glories of New York's famous Giants. This schoolboy was Mel Ott.
