A Dream Track
Hialeah is a perfect moving
picture plant. It is a dream
course. The grandstand, admis-
sion to which costs $3.50 plus, is
superior to many of the northern
club houses, and the Hialeah
club house is just one Of those ex-
Quisite creations which makes
women gasp and men cape.
Done in Spanish design inside
and out the decorations seem to
have been touched off by fairy
wand, so delicate are the Shad-
ings and harmonious the blend
ings thereof. Between floors,
walls and drapes there isn't a
conflicting motif. It's worth the
$3.50 setback to see it the first
time, but of course an ordinary
mortal would be a sucker to go
for it more than once.
Now to the more practical and
less esthetic phases of Hialeah.
The covered paddock incloSure
situated behind the grandstand
affords the public an Gnob-
structed view of the horses as
they are being saddled.
Parade for Public
At the sound of the bugle the
hostlers. with jocks atop, lead
the animals through a lane Of
palms to an oval tan barked
open air paddock where most Of
the public is content to lie in
wait to make final appraisal.
It was here that we got our first

No HOLDOUTS
EXPECTED
BY GRIFF
BY GARRETT WATERS

The beauty spot in the Ameri'
can League! That's what Off
cials of the Washington Baseball
Club hope to make of Griffith
Stadium before the new season
rolls around.
And to insure that something
of the sort will be the case, Emil
Hayesman, official ground keeper,
is directing a large delegation OF
"stage hands" in the art Of shap.
ing up the playing field these win
try afternoons at the stadium.
The Griff bailiwick will be truly
a pretty site when all of the work.
now going on, is finished. Not
only is the infield being resodded,
but the entire playing space as
well, which means the parks spa
cious outfield from the fartherest
corner in left field all way around
to the last inch Of space in right
field.
To Elk" Infield
The track" section Of the
infield is not being left unworked
upon either. The entire ground
is being reSurfaced for the pur'
pose of making the section one
of the smoothest in the big
leagues.
In summary, the playing field
will surely be a beauty spot when
all is finished. Groundkeeper
Hayesman plans seeing to this
by the manner in which he is
driving his men daily.
There are no holdouts among
the Griffmen, according to Eddie
Eynon, secretary of the Griffmen.
At least none are expected even
though a host Of players have
yet to sign their names on con-
tracts sent them.
Nine are out of the fold at this
writing. They include Pitchers
Fred Marberry, Bobby Burke,
Robert Friedrich, Catcher Roy
Spencer, Infielders Joe Cronin,
Joe Judge and Buddy Myer, and
OutfielderS Heine Manush and
Sammy West.
Only Spencer
Trouble with Spencer only Is
expected by Griff. intimateS
Eynon. But even the scrappy
catcher will be corralIed. once he
holds one or two conferences
with the club prexy at Biloxi.
Spencer will be afforded the
opportunities of these confabs
next week, as he is among those
ordered to report with the first
squad.
"Unlike most other magnateS,
Griff allows his players to re-
port at training camp unsign-
ed" says EynOn. 'Tn this way,
both parties can come to terms
quicker than by the long and
drawn-Out Ietter-writing way.
Therefore the reason Griff does
not hold any member of his
1882 cast a hOldOut. You can
just bet your last dollar that
there'l be no trouble, even with
Spencer, as Griff is the sort OF
guy who will discuss things
with his men as well as give
in to them most times"
Thus, a few clean cut words
about the holdout situation, If
any, involving the Griffmen by
one who should know, next to
Griff.

NEW YORK, Feb. Thames

will see the four-round bout be-

Dempsey is fit for a serious test,

Ernie Schaaf, Of Boston, or

yes, everybody thinks there is, but
it's Just q legend that probably be-
gan in this country's love for eX-
aggeration. especially in money
matters.
We've always had our suspicious
about the millions and millions
wagered before the derby, and when
we talked with Tom Shaw, the king
pin among betting commissioners.
our suspicious were confirmed.
"Baloney.' said Mister Shaw
"baloney. To read in the papers
YOU would think that thousands of
folks lost hundreds of thousands Of
dollars when Top Flight was pulled
out OF the race. II makes me
laugh. III bet you that Tom Kear-
ney. ace of the midwestern COM
missioners. and myself didn't get
a total of $4,000 in bets on the
filly. And as she was the red hot
favorite, you can imagine how
much we got on the rest of the
field
Its my opinion that there
wasn't more than $4,000 bet on all
the horses in the winter books all
over the country. You know what
horse got the biggest single play
with me? Gallant Sir, the Califor-
MIA nag. And do you know how
much was bet on him to start and
win? Two thousand dollars.
One Big Gamble
And don't think the winter
books are 50 rich in these years.
They weren't. The depression has
not cut the betting down much.
The truth is people have got too
much sense TO put their money
into such a gamble. You know in
the winter books you put your
money down and hope your horse
will go to the post. If he doesn't,
well that's inst too bad
when you remember there were
lis nominations for the race and
only about IS or 16 will actually
leave the barrier, you can see what
an elegant gamble it is. Millionsl
You mean thousands and mighty
few of them
1t isn't hard to understand why
the citizens still cling to the belief
that everybody puts up their shirts
in the winter books. Read this
paragraph from signed story from
Louisville that appeared in a met
rOpolltan daily yesterday:
internal revenue agents were At
track and downtown resorts uncoV-
ering evidence of advance betting
on the results Of the derby, today
estimated at $4000O,000."
Forty millions! Absurd. absurd,
absurd. In the first place, there
isn't that much money in the
world. In the second place. most
of the betting on the race is done
at the track with the mutuels, and
the biggest day the Downs ma
chimes ever saw was in 1925 when
something over $2,O0O,OOO was pass
ed over the counter for the cute
little tickets.
