G. U. READY TO DO
ITS BIT FOR U. S.
Would Cancel All Sports and
Prepare to Help In Case
War Comes.

All sport activities and schedules
will be called off at Catholic Uniyer-
sity in the event this country goes
to war. This is the declaration of
Athletic Director and Coach Charles
v. Moran, at Catholic University.
The Brooklanders- will plan to, get
the college in readiness. to aid this
country in every possible way. There
is every indication that the seniors
will be graduated early and that
steps win be taken TO raise the insti-
tuition to the highest possible degree
of efficiency to aid the country in
every way possible.
Today the Brooklanders open up
on their spring baseball schedule
with NortheEn colleges. Amherst Col
lege, OF Massachusetts,. will be on
hand for a game with the BrookIand-
ers. The contest is due to start at
$3.50 o'clock.
Coach Moran will use the same
team that faced GalIaudet last Satur-
day. The Gallaudet game OF April
IA may be shifted to American League
Park. Today's game is likely to try
out the c. U. players to the limit as
Amherst has done well in the games
played in the South so far this sea
son.

COBB QUITS TIGERS
Will Do the Rest of His TRAINING
With Reds.

WICHITA FALLS. Tex.,ApriI AIN
addition to the many distinctions
which he already enjoys in baseball
circles, Tyrus Raymond Cobb is to ac.
quire another within the next day or
so. The new trick is not in the line
OF hitting, base running. or fielding,
however. Tho scheme is that Tyrus
Is to join the Cincinnati Reds at once
and finish his training with Matty's
club
This will afford the Georgian the
opportunity OF saying that he stands
alone in doing his spring training in
the camp Of a club in a rival league.
The move is due to the disturbance
between Cobb and Charley Herzog at
Dallas on Saturday.
Cobb did not appear in the game be-
tween the Tigers and the Giants yes
terday. Yesterday morning a com
mittee called at the hotel and besought
Hughey Jennings to include Ty in
the Tigers array, but Cobb opined
that he did not care to take part in
the game.
Herzog resumed his place at second.
but his appearance caused no show
OF animosity. The beIliGerent atmos.
phere which had surrounded the pre-.
vious two games had somewhat dis
appeared.
Cobb left last night for Cincinnati.
He will work out there with the Reds
for a week The Tigers play in
Toledo one We X from yesterday and
he will reJoin the club there.

Bets Amount to $1O5,OOO
On Opening Day at Bowie
Capacity Attendance, From All Parts of the
the Country, Indicates Big Season
for Racing in the East
BY JOE VILLA.

eight bookmakers, paying 500 a day
for the privilege OF quoting odds in
the betting ring. But when Bowie,
Havre de Grace, Pimlico, and Laurel
collected a daily revenue from book
makers the number who operated at
those tracks seldom exceeded forty.
Saturday n Big Day.
Next Saturday, II weather condi-
tions are favorable. it is said that
the machines at Bowie will handle
nearly S175,000. BY that time race
goers will be more familiar with the
quality OF the horses Yet 1t is gen.
orally admitted that the betting at
Bowie in the spring is less than it is
in the fall, while the revenues at the
other Maryland tracks always exceed
the Bowie plums.
Interest Is Growing.
Incidentally 1t is a fact that public
interest in racing is steadily increas-
ing. More money was wagered with
city hand books and pool-room pro-
prietors during the past winter than
for many years. The meetings at
Havana, New Orleans. and Hot
Springs provided the basis for this
wide spread speculation. City betting
will continue on the races to be run
at the Maryland, Kentucky, New
York, and Canadian tracks. 1t simply
cannot be stopped.
tCOpy't, 1917. by Sun Printing and Pub. Col
The Washington times., 1917-04-03

NEW YORK, April 3.-Followers OF
thoroughbred racing taxed the accom-
modations at the Bowie track in
Maryland yesterday. thereby making
the opening of the Eastern turf cam
paign under the auspices of the
Jockey Club noteworthy success.
Horsemen and bettors from all parts
of the country were on hand when the
bugle called the horses to the post
for the first race. The racing was
excellent, and the speculation livelier
than usual, in spite of the fact that
the public will not begin to unhook
the bankrolI until a better line on the
form of the horses can be obtained.
Big Sum Bet.
Pari-mutuel machines supplanted
the bookmakers at Bowie and the
other Maryland tracks some time ago,
with the result that the volume OF
speculation has gradually increased
until the Maryland promoters are de-
irving unheard-of revenues. 1t was
estimated yesterday that on the seven
races decided at Bowie the public
