Does Some Training
But such is not to neces-
sarily imply that Barney isn't
doing any training at all-for
he is. Before he went to the
track, he threw the gloves and
did other gymnasium routine
for IS minutes, over at Cores
South Beach gymnasium, and
plans to duplicate such cal
isthencis every day until "a
hours before the FRANKIE Klick

already set for Barney, before
and after his training chap
tiers, is something to take the
breath of even a most invet-
crate boulevardier.
Now, take tonight, for in

Barney is being advertised to
appear at the Hollywood Ken

not survive a single season."
Wkey said. ITO admit this
element into our parks might be
inviting disaster"
If the business ended in the
cancellation of the lease on
Braves Field by the Boston club,
and if the opposition of Yawkey
to renting the home of the Red
Sox, thus clearing the way for
the operation of the dog track,
were all, the solution of the prob
lem would be fairly simple.
The whole structure of baseball
is threatened by the Boston act
of Self-eviction. The National
League club is without home, at
least until such time as negotia.
tions for new site are completed.
A major league park can't be con.
structed in time for the opening
of the season, and the show must
go on.
If the Braves were unable to
find a home by the time the
championship season opens in
Boston, the present owners would
have the right to apply to the
National League for permission
to withdraw from the circuit.
They would have the right to dis
pose of their rights and privileges
under the charter of the league to
acceptable purchasers. A three
fourths affirmative vote would be
necessary to admit a new pur-
chaser.
Cannot Move Team
Mere disposal of the rights and
franchises would not entitle a pur-
chasing company to move the
Braves to another city, should this
impending battle-and battle it Is
rage to the end. Under Article
l, section 3, of the major league
rules, the circuit of the league
cannot be changed without unan-
lmouS consent of the clubs IN the
league.
Moreover, there is the matter of
territorial rights to be considered
before any club moves into an
other locality This is governed
by section "a of the National
Agreement, signed by all members
of organized baseball leagues.
Certain sums are stipulated in this
agreement which an invading club
would have to pay to the club Of
any league protected by the Ma
tional Agreement operating in
that territory.
All of these contingencies are
pertinent to the present Situa-
ton. The big leagues stand at
Saraievo. 1t will require deft
handling of a tense situation to
prevent a disastrous war in which
political power may be aligned
against the forces of what some
club owners may call ethics in
baseball.
Reasons For Move Obvious
Reasons for the cancellation of
the lease at Braves Field which
forced the matter of housing the
National League team squarely
upon the Red Sox are obvious.
Judge Fuchs is fighting for his
financial life. He has his white
alley in the ring and he is not
the man to go out meekly. He
knows the rules of baseball;
knows that he can't run a dog
track on Braves Field and, stay
in baseball. He also knows that

The Boston Kennel Club applied
to the Massachusetts, State Racing
Commission for a license to con-
duct a greyhound meeting at
Braves Field. The application was
run through the political hopper
and came out with a stamp of Of
ficial approval affixed.
The League Frowned
Shortly before the December
meeting of the major leagues in
New York, Judge Fuchs, president
of the Boston Club, said he in
tended to build a dog track in
Braves Field this summer. Grey
hound racing was legalized by the
Massachusetts, legislature at it's
last session.
The National League froWned
upon the proposal of Judge Fuchs.
The current president wagged an
oratorical finger under the Judges
nose and told him he would not
be permitted to send baseball to
the bow vows, nor to bring the
bow vows into baseball.
The National League did not
formally discuss the proposition of
dog racing in baseball parks at
their mid winter meeting. In priv
ate gatherings, however, the club
owners made their disapproval of
the measure known to Judge
Fuchs and .le 'did not introduce
the matter before the house.
Fuchs Off Board
Judge Fuchs no longer is a men,
Der of the Board of Directors of
the Boston Braves. He receives a
salary as president of the club. If
he can promote greyhound racing,
he will not suffer too greatly if he
has to resign his remaining title
and sever all connection with the
club.
A show down has been forced
by the action of the Braves in
evicting themselves from the
home they occupied since Jim
Gaffney built Braves Field 20
years ago. At the last meeting
of the National League, the clubs
renewed the agreement to con-
tlnue the league circuit for an
other Is years. It would be ex-
tremely difficult to play ball in
Boston without ball park. and
the Commons just won't serve.
Tom Yawkey, owner of the
Boston Red Sox, is on record as
opposed to mixing dog racing
and baseball. He is on record
as saying that the proposition
of renting Fenway Park to the
Braves for baseball purposes in
order to clear the way for
corporation to use Braves Field
for dog racing purposes is some
thing for organized baseball to
decide.
This question goes beyond the
right of a property owner to
lease a ball park to a client"
Yawkey told the writer. I'VE
believe that any business whose
sole appeal is in it's gambling
lure strikes at the foundation of
baseball. Dog racing's sole ap-
peal is to the gambling element
and I am opposed to any enter
prise which might be so de-
moralizing to community.

Shopper that Smells Out
 Hidden Wealth, Muented;
 Great Claims Are 4duanced

WEATHERFORD, Okla, Aug. 13. A gold snooper which smells its way to hidden wealth if put for ward by Luciel Tupper, Custer county farmer
 The gadget sniffs out the faintest gases given off by precious metals.
 The inventor says the snooper transfers the gases as they buzz, into earphones.
 Tupper is going after the ghost mound in Devils Canyon for treas uras reputedly buried by the Span ish conquistadors in this vicinity.
 Another device has been invented by Robert Harden. Tuppers son-in- law. This device operates by dry cells and radio tubes, and is also used in connection with the gold snooper.
 Tupper claims that his snooper has already found two pieces of gold valued at $240. He claims that a mother lode would cause such a buzz that 1t would burn your ears out"

CiUiI Aircraft Forbidden to Fly Ouer .. s. Military, Naual
 Reservations; Includes Aldska

WASHINGTON, August 13.-Civil aircraft are forbidden by President Roosevelt to fly over 24 military and naval reservations throughout the country. The Whitehouse said the action was taken at the recom- mendations of the Secretaries of War, Navy and Commerce.
 The area included that part of the Aleutians, including Territorial waters, lying west of the 67th me- ridian west longitude.
 The action was taken as a safety measure to prevent the possibility of airplane crashes into the Gov 'ernment's stores of high explo- sives.
 War Department aides discounted speculation that the new prohibition had anything to do with a spy scare"
 Although no explosives are kept in the Aleutians, it was pointed out that the area was used in recent navy maneuvers and that the Navy High Command might consider the establishment of a naval base there after the expiration of the Wash ington treaty next year.
 Civilian aviators might fly over the closed areas, however, by ob- taining permission for each flight from the proper authorities.

SPECULATION OVER POLITICS
 IS BIG THING
Both Parties Have Line ups but Fundamentals

(Chief Of Bureau, The Associated
 Press, Washington
 Dog-day politics now is at flood tide. It is possible to hear almost every kind of report and prediction about 1886. Few of them amount te much. The fundamentals of the sit uation remain unchanged.
 The experienced politicians, who seldom disagree among themselves, expect MT Roosevelt, as the Dem ocratic nominee next year, to appeal to the liberal elements, especially the farmers and labor, and pin his hopes on combination of the south and the west.
 The expect the Republicans to lean strongly toward conservatism nominate a mid-westerner whom they regard as "safe and sane" and try for a combination of the east and the conservative elements of the west.
 They see no likelihood of strong left-wing independent ticket, and | little likelihood of a strong right wing independent ticket.
