Doping Suspected
At Hollywood Park

LOS ANGELES, June 13. CUP)-
A state racing commission investi-
cation continued today into rumors
that thoroughbredS at Hollywood
Park had been doped.
Chairman Jerry Giesler said that
extra tests had been taken of horses
finishing first, second and third in
all stakes races ana of winning
horses in ordinary races. 1t was
reported that evidences of caffeine,
a stimulant, had been found in at
least II cases.
For the past week the racing
board has been questioning owners,
trainers and groonls.

Scattered paragraphs containing
scattered thoughts:
You have to admire the ballyhoo
lob that the boys are doing on the
Louis Conn fight. 1t has some OF
the artistic touches that the press
agents used to put on their work
in the days of Tex Rickard and the
million dollar gate. II this keeps
up. the gate at the Polo Grounds
Wednesday night may touch $780,
900. In rapid succession it has been
announced (A) that Louis and
Trainer Jack Blackburn are feud-
ing (B) that Louis is so concerned
over Conn that he has refused To
follow his customary practice OF
naming the round in which he will
blast his opponent, and Co that
Louis managers are SO worried
that they are making no plans for
their man beyond the Conn fight.
The managers were quoted in a
communique from their camp at
Greenwood Lake, N. Y, as having
said: We're not crossing any bridges
until the eggs are hatched'-a little
gem of mixed metaphor that could
have originated no other place than
in the fertile mind OF press agent
Jersey Jones. Yesterday a rumor
ran through town that the fight
was fixed for Conn to win so there
could be a return match and an
other big gate in the fall. The fight
is not fixed, of course, but rumors
like that always send the customers
stampeding to the box office. Don
ask me why, but it's true and if you
don't believe it look at the number
of people who still pay to see wres-
tling.
Clark Shaughnessy of Stanford,
George HalaS of the Chicago BearS
and Ralph Jones, Coach at Lake
Forest College have collaborated
on a book explaining the T-forma-
ton, which dominated college and
professional gridirons last year. The
quarterback is the key man and
the success of Stanford and the
Bears was largely due to such ex-
perts as frankie Albert and Sid
Luckman. No quarterback, accord
ing to Jones and Halas, can become
proficient until he can perform the
following seven maneuverS: l. one
half, quarter and three -eighths
backward or reverse pivots, right
and left. 2. One-half forward pivotS
with a cross-over step, right and
left. 3. Pivot one way and lateral
the other 4. Underhand laterals,
right and left. 5. Feed the ball
quickly and accurately to a back
driving to either side of him and
then fade back taking a pass or a
run. 6. Fake to feed a back then
fade covering up and actually pass.
7. Shoot a lateral right or left from
his stance close to the center with
out pivoting. What, no calculus or
astronomy?

Fairgrounds for Safety

THE city should Immediately acquire tax delinquent
lands from the state and set up series of 80 small!
playgrounds-or Tot Lotsas recommended to the city
plan commission by Clarence 4. Brewer commissioner
of the department of parks and recreation.
The vital need for small neighborhood Fairgrounds
for preschoo children and those in lower grades dra-
maucally shown by figures from the traffic bureau
In the first 10 months Of this year. Is children under
years of age killed in traffic accidents OF this
total % running the street, playing in the
street doing things they would not have been doing
neighborhood Fairgrounds had been available.
In addition to this high death toll, 1883 children
have been injured traffic accidents this year-the
jority of them while playing running about ia the
streets.
Looking these figures. will any say that small
neighborhood Fairgrounds which will keep children off
the streets, are not needed?
MALL children use present city Fairgrounds,
- either because they far from their
because they monopolzed by adults playing baseball
or otherwise making it dangerous for and 7year-od
children.
If state land acquired the entire of fencing
equipping and putting operation the 80 Tot Lots
would amount to only $4,000 Commissioner Brewer
and the injuries to ss3 the sum of $4,000 very small
Under the Brewer plan the lots would be supervised
by parents in the neghborhoods eliminating any large
sum for administrative expenses. The first expenditure
would be virtually the last except for the occasional
replacement of equipment
Commissioner Brewer has devised fine plan for
the Fairgrounds Detroit needs such Fairgrounds They
should be acquired and put into operation at once.

Santa Anita Gives Posies
On Last Day Of Racing

who was The chief factor in pro-
noting and building the track
and whose management is adj
mittedly the reason for the as
founding success of the opera

Doctor Strub is vice president
and general manager Of Santa
Anita. He had no previous racing
experience before he iourneyed
10 Los Angeles after the legaliz-
ing of racing in California and
went into action on the Santa
Anita project. though he had
already applied for a license un-
der the new law TO operate a
track in San Francisco.
His Los Angeles plan was re-
garded as somewhat visionary
and it was not easy 10 sell stock
until Hal Roach of the movies
and other Hollywood lights be-
came interested.

were right. Santa Anita soon
built up 10 become the financial
marvel of the racing century. 1t
is said Doctor Strub paid il out
in three years and the stock
holders have had an enormous
return on their money.
1t is now entering upon it's
eighth year and probably its
biggest. 1t handles around
100000 a-day- in its -mutuels
and has frequently had million
dollar days. There has never
been anything like it in racing
history.
Doctor Strub is in his middle
years. affable enough TO ap-
proach. but called an autocrat
in racing. Evidently II is not a
bad idea. since Santa Anita is
paying off on autocracy. We
see him every Summer at Sara
toga wandering about under the
trees at the race track and
buttonholing the big turfmen
and we Judge he must have
plenty of personality and sales

TO get many of the prominent
stables to ship to Santa Anita,
an important feature Of his Job.

of the ableSt men in his line in

the thing we like best about the

Personally. the only flowers
that we feel we require on the
last day of a race meeting are
lilies. but there is a poetic quail
ity in the Santa Anita custom
that touches our fancy.
Maybe it is because this is the
first time we ever heard OF race
track operators giving anything
for nothing. We would love to
see Bill Corum carrying home a
corsage of panSies on a last day

he is usually laden.

TT HAS been said of course. that the board of super
visors is large, unweldly body that is unable to
exercise any real control the affairs of the county
government.
The board of supervisors, it is claimed has been
tiers that been decided in advance by the three
county auditors.
If this is So it is only because the board of super
vsors has allowed it to be.
One of the reasons that some members of Detrots
official family readily allowed themselves to be
used rubber stamps for Cowan Schneider Williams
and Pelham is that they have called upon these men
from time time for campaign support.
The board of supervisors has the all-important
power of the purse strings.
If there has been waste of public money in the
board of supervisors must certainly share the bare
for this.
THE finance committee of the board of supervisors
i went over the county budget item by item and pro-
vded funds in sufficiently generous amounts so that
the board of auditors apparently had comfortable
margin to spend nonessenals, not outright
wastage.
It is clearly the duty of appropriating body to
determine the necessity for the funds that are appio
prated.
Three of the city governments top ranking officials
sat on this finance committee of the SUPERVISORS and
approved every item which the county auditors are
now accused of wasting.
Among Others this finance committee COIN
posed of City Treasurer Cobo City Controller Charles
G. Oakman and Councilman Eugene l. Van Antwerp
1t would appear that the sins of commission on
the part of county department heads have been matched
by the sins of commission the part of Detroit city
officials in their capacity as members OF the board OF
supervisors.
