whirled in demented circles on the
ground, and sudden squalls Of
rain. ceasing as abruptly as they
began, descended every few min
uteS.
The effect of this wild weather
or Tim was exciting, almost
aphrOdi>iacal; he felt it must be
the same with her, and he let her
have an hour of it. Then, as the
wind dropped little, and a stead
Ter, more penetrating rain began
to settle over the earth, he led her
| out, and they had to race to the
Lass round the corner to avoid
getting soaked.
The sudden warmth of the little
side room which they entered was
like a benson. Tim ordered the
tea; they took off their wet outer
things, and settled down on a big
sofa near the fire, glowing with
bodily well-being.
Presently their tea was brought.
I'll settle for that now" said
free from the fear Of interruption.
The room was q small one, and
they had it to themselves. It was
too late in the season for many
people to be likely to come to the
place for tea, and for those who
did there was a larger room avail
able.
So they took their tea in soli-
tude; when it was finished they lit
cigarets, and Tim switched on q
portable radio on a table close
by. A program of photograph
records was being played. and they
came in for two movements of q
Mozart synphony-the Jupiter.
Tim did not know what the
music was, but he was stirred, and
covertly watching Alma he sensed
that she was equally affected.
The music ceased His hour had
struck.
Alma" he said. .
He reached out for her hand,
and she let him take it.
Alma, dear, are you happy?"
Very happy. Tim"
Happy in yourself, to be here
with me? You're not just being
kind. while you're really 1.differ-
ent ?"
/ "Of course not, Tim"
Il can't go on So" he said at
last, in choking voice. II love
you, Alma. 1 need you. always.
Not just like this. I can't do
without you. :. Alma, dear, will
you marry me?"
She said nothing. Presently ne
apprehended that she was crying
His heart leaped. He was assured
that he had won.

than three games from the Wind

piled up comfortable league lead,
the Swan boys climbed to third

their victims. Arthur Kibler and
Horace Talley supplied the neces-
sary punch for the winners with
371 and 356.
Standard Laundry, the second
place club, failed to take advan-

Charlie Butler who holds the

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Con
vinced that what now seems some
thing of a novelty must soon be
come an accepted custom, the In
ternational News Service has as
sembled an all-America profeS-
sional football team for the sea
son of 1887 and is making its per.

The Washington Redskins,
which last Sunday won the East
ern championship by putting on
a show that has the boys babbling
yet, leads the way with three
places on the first eleven.
The Chicago Bears, winners of
the Western title, place only one
man on the top team, with the
Detroit Lions, Green Bay and New
York Giants getting two each.
The selections, arrived at by a
vote of team coaches, staff cores
pondents and active players, are
as follows:

This bureau has been harplng
On that theme for years. 1t
won't be long until the money
spent on these lottery tickets
millions of 'em phoney-will
make the national debt look
like a tip in a one-arm lunch
room.
And the billion dollar lottery
business isn't a patch on the
gambling quilt that covers the
United States from head to foot
and coast to coast. Show me a
town big enough to have elec.
tric lights and a constable, and
III show you a sizeable percent
age of horse players among its
citizens.
PLAY ALL YEAR
Horse players, moreover. who
play 365 days a year except Sun
days, and Sundays where there's
racing at New Orleans, Aqua
Caliente and Havana.
And as soon as the sun sets
and the horse parks close. the
dog tracks open, or it's bank
night in the movie theater, or at
the church bazaar and lawn
festival.
Don't try to figure out what a
small percentage of all this
would mean to the national
treasury. 1t would give you a
headache. Besides, your totals
would be glaring examples of
under.statement.
Just because the writer likes
to take a little flier on the ponies
now and then and delights to
give your constituents such Juicy
good things as Red Rain and
Nellie Flag, doesn't signify he
holds a brief for gambling. He
can take his bookmakers or let
them take him. So they do.
GOT SOMETHING
But when a situation exists
and is going to continue to
exist why not profit by it. For
ten years we hammered and
hammered the theme that New
The Washington times., 1937-12-09

York State should get some
revenue from the oral system of
bookmaking employed on our
tracks. Finally, the Crawford
bill Tor was it the Dunnigan
bill?) was passed and the State
did begin to get something. Not
nearly enough. But something.
1t could just as easily have been
getting it throughout those ten
years and leSsening the tax bur-
den proportionately.
Now New York State is going
to have mutuel betting Oh
yes, that's an assured fact. We
are going to have mutuels and
we're going to have dog racing.
and we may even have licenced
handbooks. Just as Chicago is
going to have licenced hand
books next summer.
We're going to have mutuelS
when the Aqueduct track is
finished. Probably Jamaica, also.
Privately every member of the
New York State Racing CommiS-
sion and the Jockey Club would
tell you that.
Plans ara already made and
the money available for the
greatest sports center the world
ever has seen at Long Beach.
The site for the largest, best ap-
pointed race track in the coun-
try is already chosen. Therell be
racing, polo, swimming, golf,
everything, and what a gold
mine it is going to be.
DECIDING FACTOR
So all that's coming as sure
as the Worlds Fair, and pos
sibly just as quick. The new
States constitution will be the
deciding factor on how soon it
can be done. But it's going to
be, and if somebody doesn't
come to its rescue, lovely and
gracious old Saratoga will pass
from the New York racing pic
ture. This needn't be true. 1t
will be, if those who are inter
ested in the Spa don't wake up
to what's going on.
Which is a depression so far
as the revenue possibilities in
gambling for the Federal Gov
ernment are concerned. Except
that it does indicate the trend
toward bigger and better facil-
tiles for speculation. And more
open and aboveboard and hon
est speculation, to tell the truth.
That's the way it is going to
be. The only question Is how
soon the Government will wake
to the golden opportunity of get
ting its share. However noble
an experiment prohibition may
have been, it had the fatal weak
ness that it wouldn't work.
If you can't stop a thing, the
next best thing is to put up
with it, regulate it, make it as
decent and as profitable to the
community as a whole as pos
sible.

Frozen Tins. Deep

The Green Bay Packers, last
years pro champions, took such a
jaunt with profit to the players
and besides made moving picture
at Hollywood. The Redskins are
expecting the same invitation. The
matter of post-season games has
been left by Owner George Mar
shall entirely up to the players.
After Sunday they are free to
make their own plans for what
ever they can get out of it. A year
ago the packer players got $400
each and expenses. Their trip in
volved five-week stay. Marshall
can take this liberal attitude, be-
cause wherever the boys go as a
team, they at least add to the
prestige and game of the Redskins
