R|TCH|E HAVING
PLAN STUDIED
BY EXPERTS
Several Million Dollars In Ad-
ditionaI Revenue Would Be
Provided BY Lottery

BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.-Governor
Ritehie may ask the State legis-
lature to authorize State-oper-
ated sweepstakes on horse races,
It was learned today.
He is now having the PROPOSE
ton studied with a view to plac-
ing it before the general assembly,
which is to- gather in special ses-
sion next month if way can be
found for the State to carry on
such operations legally.
It is this constitutional phase
Of the matter that the governor
has asked Attorney General Will
liam Preston Lane, jr.. to study
with other lawyers in the State
who are we'll versed in constitu-
tional law.
More Revenue Is Aim
Hope that authority for State
operated sweepstakes can be
granted by the legislature consti-
tutionally is reported to have
come from the state chief execu-
tive in order that additional
revenues can be found to make
up for declines in State tax collec'
tionS which are anticipated be-
fore the next regular session of
the assembly.
Lottery grants by the legislature
are specifically prohibited by the
State constitution, but it is the
view Of some that this would not
prevent operation of a system
which, in effect, would permit a
person to place a bet on particu-
lar horse in a race to be run. on
future date.
Should Add Millions
Aside from the constitutional
phase: the question is being
looked into as to whether, if the
sweepstakes are allowed here,
tickets could be sold outside the
State and whether the Federal
prohibition against lotteries would
operate against transactions Of
business through the mails.
Although Governor Ritchie and
his advisors have no definite
bases for estimating Just what
revenues would be produced by
permitting the sweepstakes, it is
pointed out that figuring that
total betting at the Maryland
tracks amounts to between $685."
100000 and $55,OOO.00O annually,
the sweepstakes should give the
State several millions in addi"
tional revenue.

FACE TOUGH GOING
ON FOREIGN FIELDS
Lead Cut by BUGS to 512
Games, Cubs and Cards
Loom Formidable.
By HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR,.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

A SERIES which started out
~ as important only to the
1 \ Pittsburgh Pirates, second
place club of the National
League, moved into its final
stage today appearing like a seri-
Gus matter indeed for the New
York Giants.
The league leaders, beaten in three
of the first four games. had reached a
position where they almost had to win
the final clash in order to enjoy any
degree Of safety during the remainder
Of their Western tour. Their margin,
tx games at the outset, was reduced
to 5R by the 14-to-2 drubbing they
absorbed yesterday.
Another defeat today would leave
them a slim working margin on which
to tackle i've games at Cincinnati, fol-
lowed by series against the Chicago
Cubs and st. Louis Cardinals, almost
unbeatable on their home grounds.
The greater part Of the burden
Of today's important game rested
upon the slim shoulders Of Carl
Hubbell, first of the Giants big
four" to feel the sting Of the
Buccaneers' bats.
He failed to survive dve innings
Tuesday, but he seemed certain to get
Manager Bill Terry'S call.
It was Hal Smiths turn to work for
the Pirates, but Lefty Larry French,
who bested Hubbell in the series opener
was ready in case George Gibson de-
cided not to take a chance on the
youngster.
TTENE NINE did a neat job OF
halting the Giants yesterday.
giving them 10 hits, including
homer by Rookie Phil Weintraub, and

The Nationals now are held at to

This is said to be one of, the

far ahead Of the opening game.
While the New Workers feel that the
Giants play the most consistent base
ball in the National League and express
great admiration for the pitching abil-
ity of Hal Schumacher and Carl Hub

with only one 800 hitter can lick an
outfit that has mauled the Yankees 50

Great Duel With Jones.

TN yesterdays contest Weaver hooked
up with Sad Sam Jones in about
the best pitching duel put on IN
Grifith Stadium this year. Through eight
innings the Chisox only three times had
q runner as far as second base, and in
only one of the innings did they have as
many as two on at one time.
Over this same stretch the Nationals
had three runners pass first base and
one to get as far as third. Yet in but
one Of the innings did they have two
on the runway at once.
But Jones issued but one pass-and
that intentionally-a hit a batter,
while Weaver gave out six passes.
1t ,ras the last OF these passes
that contributed to the profess
sor's do1DntdH.
Outside the walks, the White Sox
were well nigh helpless before Weaver
in the first eight frames. A double by
Haas, made after one was out in the
sixth inning. was the lone hit they
could Gull off the Washington pitcher.
But the next two batters were quickly
and deftly erased.

All Acfian in Ninth.

NFF Jones the Nationals got eight
hits. Six of them were spread
~ over the first eight rounds with
never more than one hit coming in any
round. In the second inning they had
. runner on second base with one out,
but Bluege famed and Sewel skied
out.
In the seventh they had two on
with two out and again Sewell lofted
into retirement Myer, who had singled,
moved to the middle base on the sec
ond out in the eighth to be left there
by Manush.
Then the real action Of the
game was crowded into the ninth
inning.
Weaver got rid of Dykes at the start
Of the ninth, but was reached by Sim
mons for the second White Sox hit. It
was a single to center. That sixth pass
followed. Weaver went to three-and-
two count with Appling and walked
him. This put Simmons in position to
score when Kress looped q single to
short center.
Hayes followed with line drive to-
ward the middle field, but Myer speared
it and chucked to Kuhel to double
Kress of first base.
