a slight armistice today in the 40

President Roosevelt will be asked
to name July A as a national

smaller to throw at the Pirates

he had little or nothing on the

Novikoff Is Now
Cub Sensation

NEW YORK, June Is tUP).-
A colorful baseball player is vari-
ously defined in the major leagues
as an eccentric. a fence-busting
hitter, a sensational fielder or one
having various other attributes
calculated to draw fans to the
box office.
Such a player is Lou .Novikoff,
the freshman flop who this season
has turned into the super sopho-
more.
Novikoff, who rose from a soft
ball pitcher to become the minors
top slugger, made baseball history
by becoming one of the biggest
bustS of all time last season when
he tried TO play left field for the
Chicago Cubs. But just as his
trail through the minors and his
one joust with the majors was
marked with sensationalism, so is
his current comeback.
Lou has been lambasting the
ball so regularly during the past
few weeks that IL appears he has
once again found the timing that
helped him become the leading
batter in every minor league he's
played in. Conceivably, he might
now become one the games great
est hitters.
Novikoff's naivete and oral
originality has made him the most
popular player on the Cubs at
Wrigley Field. But it was his bat
that brought him fame in the
Three-I League, Texas League, Pa
cific Coast League and American
] Association.

There have been reports that
there will be no racing in Florida

. Our informant's main worry Is
over the government proposal e
add n 5 per cent tax on all mu
tuel play.
"That would increase the take
I'm Florida TO 81 per cent" he
said. That's just too much. We
have is per cent take now,
Ave per cent of that having been
added last year for the benefit
OF the Florida old age pension

raise S25,OOO,OOO out of United
States racing by that five per

lii defeat Its own purpose by
booking out lot OF tracks.
~Tt may sound partisan, but
II the government wants money
out of racing. IL should take
