DEPORTs pile up to the effect that
II the Soviet Union is reaping one
of the biggest crops in It's history
There will be plenty of food from now
on, and great increase in the manu-
facture of consumers goods. Our So

ing over the hump.
But the Pope, the Nazis, the rabbiS
and similar forces are commencing
the usual SANDER campaign. Rumors
of famine, of cannibalism and mass
terror are being circulated again by
these apostles of brotherly love and
capitalism.
Why are they always so anxious to
spread the news of hunger in the So
Wet Union2 There certainly is enough
hunger under their own noses, but
one has yet to hear of Rabbi Wise
being dubbed in an unemployment
march, or the Pope helping the work
OF the Unemployed Councils.

YES, 1t Is really one of the jokes Of
history-this lineup against the
Soviet Union. Bourgeois Papist and
Protestant, bourgeois Jew and Nazi
bourgeois Negro and white, republican
and royalist-all manage to forget
their differences in the face Of the
proletarian threat. Race, creed and
color vanish when the pocketbook

They unanimously hate the U.SlS.R.
yet can never unite on action against
it, this being the fatal disease IN the

In such a race there are usually
not more than five, six, or seven
entries, and of this number there
are bound to be one or two horses
that either stand out as the
principal contenders or which, by
reason of seasonal popularity, are
bound to be heavily backed by
the form" players.
In such a race the bookmakers,
and the big time racketeers who
frequently are the money power
behind big handbooks, stand to
clean up handsomely if the fav-
orite, or the contender for public
favor, can be guaranteed to run
out of the money.
Spot for a SpOnger
In such a race, obviously, repu-
tation of the trainer, jockey and
stable eliminates all chance of
rigging" the race by any collu-
sion of the stable connections.
The "sure-thing" gamblers only
chance, therefore, is to impair
the running ability of the horse
in the race, without actually in
capacitating the animal.
That's a spot for a "sponger." ="
If tiny bit of sponge, or silk
waste, is placed in the horses
nostrils, and pushed up, out of
sight with a thin roll of paper,
the animals breathing is affected,
when he comes to that run down
the stretch that calls for every
ounce of stamina, condition and
power that the horse possesses.
Break Down and Confess
In October, 1881, two negro
hangers-on at the Aqueduct
track were caught as they at
tempted to bribe groom in
the Victor Emanuel "Dorwood"
stable to let them slip in, at a
future date, and sponge" such
famous racers as Morstone, The
Beasel and Toney Princess, racers
in the Dorwood barn.
Captured by the loyal groom
and held for the Pinkerton track
detectives, the two hangers-on,
James Hartwcll and Drummond
Jackson, were taken to the Dis
trict Attorneys office at Mineola.
There they broke down, con-
fessed they were employed by a
Broadway gambler who had once
been an associate of Arnold
Rothstein, and said they had
"Sponged" horses, at the request
of, and in the pay of this gam
bier, in more than a dozen in
stances.

chances in the fourth race at
Aqueduct on September 20, were
definitely known to the gamblers
to be nil unless the sponging had
been discovered by his trainers

How Gamblers Cleaned Up
The gamblers, knowing that
Mr.. Sponge could not run his true
race, considered their bets on
The Beasel a dead sure cinch
and as the public generally wag-
cred on Mr.. Sponge, the "wise
boys" bet The Beasel.
Official charts of that race
show Mr.. Sponge made a gallant
effort, for the first five furlongs
of the six furlong race, anC
moved up stoutly, only to hang
at the finish" The Beasel MIGHT
have won that race anyway, but
with the sponges in his nostrils
cutting down the contender's vino
supply when he needed every
thing nature gave him for his
supreme effort, the race was sin
the bag"
The "sure-thing" gamblers
laughed. The public paid. Just
another instance in the long line
of unnatural hazards, which
coupled with the deadly book
makers and mutuel percentages
guarantee that:
"All Horse Players MUST Die
Broke"
Sponging is only one of the
methods by which o race horse
may be tampered with so he
cannot win. Other methods of
tampering with the natural
speed of a racer will be dis
cussed in later articles. But
tomOrrow's chapter will deal,
generally, with the methods
sometimes used by race-fixers

ride the animals upon which
the public bets its money.

LANDS IN j. s.
WHEN lOYRS.
Of AGE
BY SID KATZNELL

Introducing Eddie Fitzpatrick,
the past seasons Eastern High
School baseball team captain.
Eddie is as Irish as Paddy
o'Brien or Maggie O'Reilly for he
was born in the land of Everlast-
ing green, the Emerald Isles.
The Fitzpatrick clan came to
this country some ten years ago
and settled in the northeast Sec
ton of our beautiful city. Eddie
was ten, then.
Young Fitz didn't know what a
baseball looked like when he
reached our shores. However, he
soon became acquainted with
Americas National Pastime when
he started to play around the Old
Plaza playground.
Becomes a Star
Here he was taught the funda-
mentals of baseball by able play
ground instructors and it wasn't
long before he developed into
quite a baseball prospect.
One day when Eddie was a
mere lad he was working out
with some Of his mates on the
familiar Plaza diamond when the
captain of the GonZaga High
School team approached them
and asked them if they would
like to engage his team in a
practice tilt.
They Answered, "Sure Mike"
That year Gonzaga had one Of
the finest mines in its history,
headed by Al Farrell, rated the
ablest scholastic pitcher of the
day.
The Gonzaga captain nomi-
mated Farrell to twirl against the
irregulars. He did great work
until Young Fitz landed on one
of his fast balls and sent it off
the diamond for a tremendous
home run.
Makes Eastern High Nine
Two years ago when he re-
ported for the Eastern High
School team one Of his chums
asked him what position he was
trying for and Eddie answered
that he would go out for first
base.
His schoolmate said that Coach
Charlie by Golly" Guyon did
not care for southpaw first base
men, but preferred sIugging right
handlers, whereupon. the Irish
man replied,
"stuff, I'll make him like
me-"
However, Eddie didn't land the
initial sack job but did capture
an outfield post where his work
was without parallel. He played
center field and was selected on
the second team of the Mythical
AIHigh nine. The following
year 1932) he gained his highest
honors.
He was chosen on the first all
high team by every paper in the
city and gained reputation as
one Of the greatest hitters ever
to perform in the local high school
series. His greatest achievement
that year was knocking out three
homers in a single game against
Business High.
Selected Captain
Last year Eddie was selected
captain of the Eastern nine and
played fairly we'll despite the fact
he was suffering from water on
the knee" At present he is per-
forming splendidly with the stan
ton Cleaners, members of the
Capital City Unlimited League.
His friends have always kid
ded him about his "dogs" (he
possesses exceptionally large
feet) by remarking:" The Fleets
1n," enever Fritz came
around.

Wing Describes Game
Conditions In CasSiar
By DAVID L. WING

l have been asked many times
about the big game supply on Nc
Danes Creek and its tributaries iii

be possible for the prospeetors TO
work around in that locality if il
were not so easy to get moose,
which is the main meat. There are
hundreds of caribou. many goats
and big horn sheep and some bears.
Bears are considered very good in
the fall, when they are very fat
from eating blue and moss berries
But moose meet is generally con-
sidered the best meat for steady
use.
A prospe tors license of IS has
given him the right to kill meat

has to pay $40.

produces from 25 to 50 pounds of

lard for frying purposes. People out

This meat business is not SO good
