Lands Tells Friends Fuchs Plans Dog Track
He'll Quit, Rather At Braves Field
Than See Dog Racing To Open Next Spring

even ground the dogs into frank
furterS.
Just a Racket
No matter how honestly dog
track is run, and there is no
sense in running one any way
except honestly, since even
when they are square dice, they
are faster than the fellow with
the walnut shells and the little
pea. So, I repeat, no matter
how honestly dog track is run
it can never be anything except
a racket.
Men have grown rich racing
greyhoundS and whippets, from
the White City in London to
the other side of the world in
Australia. But there is no par
manent health in dog racing for
any community, a fact amply
borne out by the past history OF
the sport.
Now I have no better friend
among the moguls than Judge
Fuchs, and the judge, in turn,
has no better friend among
the sports writer's. But this sit
uation I'd have to put in 100
per cent with the other judge
Lands.
I have been watching and,
on rare occasions, betting on
dog races almost from the time
old man Smith first invented
the mechanical rabbit. If there
is track handy, when the guy
at the loud speaker yells There
goes Rusty" I am apt to be
among those present and &C.
counted tor-and with a mutuel
ticket in either fist.
But when Lands said that base
ball and dog racing wouldn't
mix, he was saying a mouth.
full, Queenie. They can't mix.
They never could.
How could any club owner
give fan the old heave-ho from
the grandstand for betting at
3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
at the same time invite him to
come out and bet right down to
his shirt at $50?
Had Game Groaning
Professional gambling and it's
hand-maiden, "the fix" had
baseball cracking and groaning
on the rocks of disaster once.
Then such men as Lands, John
Heydler, Ernest Barnard, Judge
Fuchs, Jake Rupert, Charley
Stoneham, Ed Barrow, Sam
Breadon, ct al. came along to
wage a relentless war on gam
bling on baseball in the parks
where the games are played.
They haven't stopped gam
bling altogether even in their
parks. But they have checked
and fought it vigorously and
they have .iept the game clean.
Judge Fuchs has invested and
lost a lot of money in baseball.
He is most assuredly entitled to
a run for his white alley, but
he is not entitled to a greyhound
run for it at the expense Of
the cleanest and best run pro-
fessional sports business of all.
1t is my personal opinion that
Ruth will do a great deal toward
reviving the willing fortunes of
the Braves in Boston.
Even if he doesn't, there must
be some other way out for the
owners of the Boston team. I
have nothing against dog racing
in it's proper place. wherever
that may be. 1t plainly is not
in a major league ball park,
and if Judge Lands should lose
this battle and quit on this is
sue, here is one baseball writer
who would have to go with him.

local circles.
The reason why no other Washing
tonian has served in such capacity
may be traced to several controlling
factors. During its early history
Georgetown was more closely identified
with Maryland than with the Federal
City, and eight Of its rectors, or presi-
dents, have been contributed by that
State. Secondly, the Jesuit order is
world wide in its scope and its teach
ers and executives in this country
have been recruited from every Sec
ton as we'll as from foreign countries.
1t has so happened that of the COM
paratively few Washingtonians who
have joined the Society of Jesus, Fa-
ther OLeary is, perhaps, the only one
who has been advanced to the presi-
dency of one of its universities.
In looking over the nationality of
the 80 presidents of Georgetown 1t
is interesting to note that one fourth
came from foreign lands. The first
and second presidents, Fathers
Plunkett and Molyneux, came from
England. Santo Domingo gave two
rectors; Italy, Poland, Alsace, Belgium
and Spain each gave one.
In Father O'Leary Washington has
given to the institution a native son
who received his college education
here at Gonzaga. With the exception
Of few years, he has spent his entire
life and career in Washington, being
in his twenty-third year on the
Georgetown faculty.
Father OLeary Is among the best
known Jesuit teachers Of philosophy
and ethics, subjects in which he has
specialized at Georgetown for many
years. He has a record for efficiency
in class room as well as in organiza-
ton, and under his direction this Win
ter the Graduate Department at the
College of Arts and Sciences Is being
expanded and housed in new quarters.
The acting president entered the So
ciety of Jesus in 1908. He took up
his studies at st. Andrew-on-the-
Hudson and before coming to George
town, in 1912, taught at Canisius Col
lege, Buffalo. Except for a period
when he completed his studies in
theology and philosophy at Woodstock
College. Maryland, he has been on the
Georgetown faculty continuously.
Father OJeary will continue in his
present position until DR.. Coleman
Nevils, S. j., returns in December from
Toxic.
