Chicago Gets Nowhere With Injunction As Weapon Against Its 5000 Racing Handbooks
Chasing Bookies Harder Job Than
 Enforcement of
 Prohibition Law
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

eANAANSA Chicago, Dec. 13-Chicago is try. ing g new way of stamping out its handbooks, and getting nowhere ir a jiffy.
 Thirty deputy sheriffs set out with 1880 sllmmonses, notices tC as many defendants under a re. straining order that, henceforth makes boolxnakers and publisher, or dispensers of betting news sub. ject to a contempt of court sen. terce.
 The surnmonses are meant merely to give the defendants an opportunity to prepare 8 defense Any defendant served who does not file an appearance in court by specific date forfeits the righs to contest the injunction.
 Illinois Attorney General John E. Cassidy, who brought the in- junction proceedings, considered this weapon against bookies more direct than prosecuting them un- der existing gambling laws.
 ALL COPS CAN DO IS
 HARASS BOOKMAKERS
 But any old hoss player will tell Attorney General Cassidy that eliln- mating bookrnakers is much tough- CT than was enforcing prohibition All the cops can do is harras them.
 Although all hoss players must die broke, people will play the ponies as long as they run. It's a disease, but a good share of the citizens are afflicted, and you can't shake something the public wants
 Fred Kohler, Cleveland's Golden Rule chief of police and mayor of 20 years ago, had the right slant. He refused to take men off other forms of police work to have them waste time annoying bookmakers.
 T would rather see a book maker in every doorway than force one out of business" said Chief Kohler. "If the bookmaker is driven to the street corner, winners may have a hard time finding him."
 BOOKIES DON'T HANG
 OUT THERE ANY MORE
 As you might have suspected, Att torney General Cassidy's list of Chi cago bookmakers appeared to be ei- ther erroneous or out of date. Tn most cases either the boow had beer moved or the address wrong. The list certainly was not complete. Ii is conservatively estimated that there are more than 5000 hand books in metropolitan Chicago. Even when the deputies, through peepholes, gathered that there was wagering going on, they had to gc away when told that the man they were seeking didn't hang out there any more.
 The more direct way woult have been to have armed the of. ficers with search warrants.
 But that failed too, and 1t wa! decided to notify the book oper' ators that judge had issued ar injunction against gambling.
 That never would have occurred to the bookmakers if the notices hadn't been sent around that is, not to the comparatively few the deputies have been able to locate.

Mt. Carmel Pin
 Pickups
BY ANGELO MIRO

Getting away from the usual scores and chatter for change, would like to mention little about the coming match game Sunday afternoon be- tween our 25 man team and the 25 man team from the Sacred Heart parish of Stamford. Sunday, as you may know, will be a big day for us, but then again, wonder, because we haven't beaten them for the past couple of years. Ever since this home and home series started a few years ago, the Mt. Carmel aggregation has won. Well, let's skip that.
 Senor John Savino, chairman of the Mt. Carmel Holy Manners League, announced the other night that the contests will get under way at the St. Joseph's alleys, Sunday at 2 p. m. sharp, which means that all members are expected to be present at 1:30 o'clock. At the conclusion of the match, members of both teams, together with many guests, will all assemble at the Mt. Carmel community hall where a buffet luncheon will be served, and program of entertain ment will be furnished by Louis Rocco and Company. MT. Rocco, better known to his friends as Bobby, promises to sing a few of his numbers which he made famous. Some of these are, "Mexa- cali Rose, Memories" and the old familiar Plumbers Lullaby, entitled, "1t'S a Sin to Tell Lie". He will also be assisted by the Agony Octet which will be under the direction of Maestro John A. Jannetty (The "A" stands for Agony which theOctet is noted for) Now, can feel the lines on the sides of this column slowly closing in on me, SO before I get Caught" in between, I'll close, hop ing that everything will go our way on Sunday. In the meantime, the regular column will be presented next week with a little foolishness, plus a few facts about this, that and the other. Adios.

THOMASTON HOUSE
 TOPS STAGS 23=2I

Terryville, Dc. 13-One of the most exciting games in this town in sev- eral years was furnished in the Community league last night in St. Casimir's hall when two Thomaston teams met in a hard fought and low scoring contest.
 The Thomaston House entry hand ed the Stag A. c. a 23-21 defeat, with Czyz, center for the House, throwing a sensational basket with less than eight seconds of play re- n1aining. The lead in this contest see-sawed back and forth, changing hands nine times during the contest.
 The opening game proved run- away for St. Casimir's who handed the Young Men a 52-19 defeat. In the second game of the night the PIMA handed the newly organized Independents a 38-32 trimming.
