Only one hitch is seen in the St Louis to Montreal transfer The Cardinals would give the National League six eastern teams to two western outfits while it would create an unbalanced division of five and three in the American However all club owners are known to favor the deal as clubs visiting Park when the Browns are the home attraction many times do not receive railroad expenses BY ARCHIE CRAVEN REYHOUND racing and its attendant pari-mutuel wagering halted abruptly several weeks ago by local authorities may be resumed in the Chicago area July 1 Construction of a track and kennels at the Century Club situated within ten minutes of the loop is near completion and many dogs are on the scene Joe Adams who stages greyhound race meetings at West Flagler and Biscayne Miami Fla and Jeffersonville Ind heads the new track Several openings have been set back but it is believed the gates will swing open one week from tonight Officials for the session already are on the job No word has been received from the Thornton management but it is understood attorneys for the Home-wood 111 plant are reviewing an injunction granted last year prior to resorting to court action Thornton operated successfully this spring until attempt was made to open the Lawndale course on the west side It is situated outside Cook County and has received the approval of Chicago Heights and all surrounding towns Lawndale has made no further effort to secure an injunction The recent ruling of Judge Lindsey failed to alter the situation as no one needs an injunction to run dog races turtle races or flea marathons What the greyhound interests wanted was a declaration on the pari-mutuel system of wagering $5500000 IRISH SAG (Continued from Page One) the next sweepstake can be anticipated Analysis of the money subscribed reveals that in less than two years something like $15000000 has left these shores never to return It is pointed out that part of this money has gone to free Irish hospitals from debt and to create new ones whilst English institutions are compelled to cadge in the streets for money to keep afloat Incidentally the promoters have reaped a gorgeous harvest apart from their published percentage As a counter to the English newspaper attacks the sweepstake promoters are planning prize competitions among sellers of tickets These prizes will be allotted each month and if the subscriptions reach a sufficiently high point the sum of $2500 will be distributed every 30 days up to the closing date for receipt of money Investigations reveal that a huge sum subscribed in this country never participated in the derby draw from the drum Much of it was taken by dishonest ticket retailers whilst a considerable amount was confiscated by the authorities here for contravention of the law which prohibits the mails being used for transit of lottery literature or money A movement is on foot to induce the leading newspapers to refrain from publishing any details of the next Irish Hospitals Sweepstakes and not to print the numbers and holders of winning tickets BY JOE LEBLANC ONTREAL has been major league baseball mad for the past four years and it is no surprise to the writer that the high moguls of the diamond pastime seriously are considering a $1000000 shift which would find either the St Louis Brownies or Cardinals Bud May Been around for a long

Club at the Stadium here comes to an end tonight Racing will be resumed July 10 for another stretch lasting until August 15 Practically the same officials will return for the second session and only a few of the kennels are shipping to other parts Large crowds have patronized the local dog course and the sport is credited with having gained numerous friends due to the impressive manner in which the brief meet has been conducted by International Greyhound Racing Association officials While the mutuel play has not met with expectations it is cer Be Wise BE WINNER I Montreal June In spite of denials by Pliil Ball and Branch Iliekey deal to transfer one of St major league baseball franchises to Montreal Is believed under way First accounts of this probable transaction appeared exclusively in the Collyer publications last Saturday playing in the French-Canadian metropolis The American and National loop magnates can make few better moves than planting one of their white elephants in Canada Montreal is larger than Cincinnati Pittsburgh Washington and has a greater population to draw from than St Louis It is one of the leading sport centers of the east As a member of the International League Montreal has made a far better showing from 1930-32 than the Browns Red Sox Cincinnati Reds and Phillies Handled by shrewd operators an American or National League club in Montreal figures to prove a bonanza Eventually Canadian ball players would be developed and especially those bearing French names Joseph Cattarinich and Leo Dandurand who would control the club in event of such a transaction are known as two of the most successful promoters in either the United States or Canada Win Over Ramey Puts Herrera in No 2 Spot TONY HERRERA Mexican lightweight fighting out of Chicago has gained No 2 position among the lightweights as a result of his sensational victory over Wesley Ramey in the bailiwick last week Ray Alvis his pilot has issued a challenge to the Canzoneri-Ross winner and intends to force the issue before all state ring boards Ramey recently outpointed Canzonerl in an overweight affair and had not been beaten for two years DWYER STAKES rogue in the Queens County Handicap While Mr Khayyam is a likely post time favorite the presence in the event of Edelweiss winner of the Coaching Club Oaks at Belmont Park and her stable-mate Iseult add prestige to the event and may also give a good line on the respective merits of the three-year-old fillies when pitted against the colts even though Swivel be an absentee But the real rivalry in the race is that centering on Union and Nimbus Many who witnessed the Belmont Stakes also saw an occurrence not observed by the sapient stewards at least they so claimed They declared that Workman who

7 DAYS RACING rj RACES DAILY FIRST RACE at 2:30 (EDST) EASIER MONEY GETS HOT ONDON Eng June 23 (Special) The latest recruits to the war on sham amateurism in sport are the Rugby Football Union and the Hurlingham Polo Club On all sides it is agreed that there is no stigma attaching to an athlete making money by his prowess but it is essential that the process should be open and properly controlled In many sports here professionalism is countenanced and legislated for by the respective governing body Professional rugby football players are catered for by the powerful Rugby League-playing it is true a slightly different game to that of the Union but of recent years there has grown up a class of Union player that is not in keeping with the amateur status demanded Some demand traveling and hotel expenses considerably beyond an amount expended others are making a substantial livelihood by contributing to the press In the future no players or officials will be permitted to write articles on rugby football for payment or otherwise Polo is the one game that most people imagined was completely free from any trace of professionalism yet on the authority of Earl Kimberley a number of players of repute have been making a pile of money playing for the country house clubs that have sprung up in large numbers since the end of the European war Most of these provincial house clubs are subsidized by wealthy patrons from the stock markets and the practice of providing young players with free polo plus expenses and a bit over has grown to such an extent that the Hurlingham Club has decided upon a comb out The Earl of Kimberley then known as Lord Wodehouse played in the British team against America for the International Cup in 1909 and in 1921 The Earl attributes Great present low standard of polo playing to the canker of professionalism and states that he has the backing of the Hurlingham Club committee to support his statements Action by the committee is certain to restrict the number of provincial tourneys that operate after the close of the London season in July and assuredly will close up some of the clubs guilty of subsidizing players June 15-July 15 Secret

WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY BEATS BETTING BILL Madison Wis June 23 A bill to legalize pari-mutuel wagering on horse races in this state was disapproved by the Wisconsin Assembly 59 to 22 Another measure that included betting on both dogs and horses also failed to pass the committee Supporters of the pari-mutuel measures contended that thousands of dollars would be raised toward the support of elementary schools PAGE THREE WINOOKA DEFEATS EQUIPOISE!
