"Arizona Fa[sehoodS"

There came to our desk recently copy of an
anaemic magazine which might properly be called
"Arizona Falsehoods".
For the past ten years or longer Arizona has seen
come and go score more scurrilous publications
which gain entrance to the home under the guse Of
political social economic news recording journals.
History reveals their BIRTH their unhealthy gasp for
breath and finally their burial among unwanted
things born Of corruption. They voice the cry of a
small cotere of who wish to hoist themselves in
to high office.
Like pack Of bloodhounds baying the trail
of runaway feon, they work themselves into lath-
er of libel
Strange as it may seem, not one of these publ
cation, which disgrace the code of honest journalism
has served its nefarious purpose.
Lincoln had his opposition press We hope that
governors of Arizona will never be above honest crit-
cism but honest editors should rise in righteous n
dignation to strike and destroy this lowest form Of
political aggrandzement.

Beard, manager Of the Whitney
turf interests in secretary
treasurer. Washington's own
Admiral Cary T. Grayson is a
member of the executive COM
mittee. Those four gentlemen

Possible Local Contact
If and when Washington's
racing measure becomes legal
and if its sponsor, Repre-
sentative Loring M. Black, is
as persistent as he was with
the fight measure which now
awaits the Presidents sigma
ture, it won't be long-the local
racing organization which comes
into existence could not do
better than affiliate with the
American Thoroughbred Asso-
citation, headed as it is by
capable turfmen.
The actual future of horse
racing, now that it has become
such a widespread industry in
view of the many additional
States which have recently
opened their borders to it, de-
pends on rigid adherence to the
highest ethics of both breeding
and competing.
War on ALI Vice
The American Thoroughbred
Association will war on every
conceivable evil known to the
sport, with a view to purging
racing Of the several under
mining influences which, if
allowed to go unchecked, might
easily undermine the game.
Indications have already been
given that New York, Illinois,
California, Maryland, Kentucky
and Florida will welcome allie
glance to the new turf body
which, as I understand it, will
not attempt to dictate to any
jockey club or race organiza-
tion, but merely suggest stand
ards which will make for uni
formity in breeding and racing
activities.

Of turf fans who saw Time Clock

beaten in the back stretch, after
Jockey Mack Garner was forced

keep him from going down, weave
his way through and pick up
horses one by one and win going
away by a length over the mile
and one eighth route.
The colt stepped the distance
In 1:49 Is, just one-fifth of a
second off the track record, and
carried ia pounds. The first
mile in this event was run in
1886 3.5, and Time Clock had
to be much the best, for at one
time during the journey he was
10 lengths back.
After the race horsemen pre-
dicted that Time Clock would
be another winter sensation, like
the famous Black Gold, who won
the Derby back in 1924.
Time Clock has benefited from
conditioning gained in Florida,
and the manner in which he has
trained lately indicates that he
still retains his good form.
Although the juvenile form Of
Time Clock was unimpressive, for
he only accounted for one race
in 10 starts, was second once,
and twice third, the Derby route
should be decidedly in his favor.

may make turf history in the

aNew Turf Association Dedicated to Cleanse
Can Accomplish Much Thoroughbred Breeding
TO StandGrdize Sport And Racing of EUiLs

I: An organization for which
there has been a long-felt want
= In this country is created in the
formation of the American
Thoroughbred Association, with
John Hay Whitney at it's head
and upwards of SO other Of
: Americas most prominent horse
men joining their efforts to i'm
prove the conditions surround
ing the breeding and racing Of
horseflesh.
: AS the idea comes to me, the
purpose of the new organization
9 will be four fold:
l. The dissemination of all
. K Wedge and information
which will be of usefulness to
thoroughbred horse breeders.
= 2. The investigation of any
practices which are detrimental
to the breeding of thoroughbred
horses.
3. The initiation of such moves
as may be necessary for the
elimination of improper prac-
tices; and
4. The placing of the breed
ing and racing of thoroughbred
horses on an equitable basis
throughout the United States.
A Timely Step
The step in organizing such a
body comes at a particularly
timely hour in the history of
racing in this country in view
OF the growing number of locali-
ties which have legalized the
sport of kings.
A recognized national body is
essential to the welfare of the
sport and it is to be hoped that
every jockey club in this country
will join with the new organiza-
tion for the general betterment
Of one Of the Oldest sports in
existence.
One of the aims of the new
association will be to arrive at
proper corrective measures to
stamp out the stimulating of
horses, it being thought that
practical racing men of which
the body is made w., are far bet
ter qualified to suggest equita-
bic remedial measures than

BY GARRETT WATERS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 20.
you'll see more hitting this
year than you ever saw in your
life"
That's what Clark Griffith, pres
ident of the Washington Griff.
men, had to say today in regard
to the ball both the American and
National League clubs have been
tossing around since opening day.
''It'S the liveliest ball we've
ever had and ever will have
for that matter.
TITS because of the new
seams. They're smoother and
much wider this year, whereas
last years ball had seams that
were slightly raised"
''It's going to take away from
the pitchers effectiveness as he
can't develop the control or
curves that formerly ruled the
case, but when the bali is hit,
it's going to CO."
President Griffith voiced this
opinion late yesterday after hav-
ing just viewed the Boston Red
Sox series in which his Griffmen
won two games and lost as many.
First Notice
His first notice, he said, was
how the ball conducted itself
after being hit. His next and
most important notice was the
manner in which the pitchers
threw the "pill" plateward.
Deductions in both instances
offered surprises galore. Par
ticularly in yesterdays day full Of
activity which saw the Red Sox
bounce hit after hit against their
fence in left and center field.
His rebuttal:
81 believe the pitchers will
conquer the situation in time,
but I look for many high ScOr.
ing games this year, as the ball
promises to make it the hard
est season the pitchers have
ever experienced. And say,
didn't those Red SOx bang out
base hits? Our boys hit a couple
of hard ones, too, but it just
happened they were squarely at
some fielder, or couple of
inches short of being over the
Outfielder's heads"
Griff's deductions ring absolute
ly true today. For the new ball
certainly offers every, indication
Of being livelier than ever as the
scores of the many games to date
have proved.
Voiced Opinions
The Griff-Red sox series opened
the eyes of the players involved,
as a specific example, while per-
formers in other sets of games
throughout the two leagues, have
voiced opinions on the order Of
Griff's since the start of the cam
paign.
On the whole, the situation
promises to give the general public
just what its been craving for all
these years-real hitting, extra
base hitting, and consistent hit
ting. AS to the pitching, well,
should we go into that right at
present? Thatll come later as
Griff predicts, when the pitchers
will get the knack of outguesSing
the batters.
Griff, by the way, left his Griff.
