Turf Commissioners
Cool 10 Suggestion
For Racing Car
Divergent State Rulings
Hinder Ideo; War Role
Committee in Offinq
BY the Associated Press.


MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 24.-Racing
commissioners gave a cool reception
today to proposals to set up a ''czar"
or other governing agency for the
sport, asserting that divergent state
laws would make any national regu-
latory body ineffective.
Although several speakers during
the commissioners annual conven-
ton urged closer cooperation among
tracks. there appeared to be little
likelihood the group would indorse
any plan for a formal alliance.
Racing already is regulated by
the divergent laws Of % states" said
one opponent of the car plan. ANY
car for racing would find his rulings
constantly in conflict with the laws
of some of those states. The same
objection applies to the suggestion
OF Alfred G. Vanderbilt for a ma
tional governing body"
The cZar idea was not suggested
formally during the first three days
of the convention, but it occasionally
was discussed off the floor. At least
one speaker. Turf Editor Bryan
Field of the New York Times, came
out strongly against the proposal.
Field said he did not believe racing
needed a car even though there are
several men waiting in the wings to
take the job.p
There appeared to be a strong pos
sibility, however, that a national
committee would be authorized to
coordinate racing's part in the war
effort. The names of Herbert Bayard
Swope, chairman Of the New York
State Racing Commission, and of
several other prominent ofilcials
were mentioned as possibilities to
head such a committee.
The group planned to attend the
races at Hialeah Park after the
election Of officers concluded the
business of the convention.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Another
world three-cushion billiards cham
pionship for Willie Hoppe-his third
straight. A 50-to-31 victory over
Welker Cochran OF San Francisco
last night makes it so. Yet, as he
stands there accepting congratula-
tions, Hoppe is showing about as
much excitement as grocer weigh
ing out three cucumbers.
A minute before he is perched
leisurely on his stool near the green
table. His gray head is thrown back
and his eyes peer from under low
cred lids. He seems almost de-
tached. It's old stuff to Willie, who's
been chalking cues since he was in
knee pants. He's 81 now.
Runs Out Game Calmly.
The scoreboard reads: Hoppe, 48;
Cochran, 81. The inning is the
thirty-sixth and Welker has Just
missed after scoring one point.
Up to the table steps Hoppe in
that easy manner. He quickly de-
cides on his shot-no pacing and
false aiming and mind changing.
The white ball leaves his cue,
slashes at the red ball, rounds the
table and rolls up against the third
ball.
One" intones the referee, and
the score now is: Hoppe, 40; Coch-
ran, 81. Fifty points is game.
The crowd, sitting and standing,
lenses and buzzes with kibitzing on
what shot Hoppe will use. Cochran
leans slightly forward. The ref
cree PAGES, hands behind his back.
The relaxed Hoppe takes his place,
strokes his cue in that funny side
arm motion. The crowd bushes.
This is it. His ball touches the
red one pushes it aside, heads for
the rail, bounces off, goes on around
the table all the way. Then, mo-
mentum falling. it hits the third
ball. It's all over.
Lone Loss Is to Rubin.

BoWser and called him away. Bow
ser didn't want to come, but he long
ago learned to obey, so very slowly
he walked over to where his master
was sitting.
"You know, it wouldn't be fair,
old fellow, to try to catch Peter
now. It wouldn't be fair at all, and
we never want to do anything i'm
fair, do WEI" said he. Perhaps
Bowser didn't agree, but he wagged
his tail as if he did, and sat down
beside his master to watch.
It seemed to Peter as if he never,
never would reach the shore, though
really it was only a very little dis
lance that he had to swim. When he
did scramble out he was a sorry
looking rabbit. He didn't waste any
time, but started for home as fast
as he could 60, lipperty, lipperty,
lip. And Farmer Browns Boy and
Bowser the Hound just laughed and
didn't try to catch him at all.

never! I guess Farmer Browns Boy
isn't so bad, after all"

He lost his balance and tumbled

hiding under an old pile of brush
close by, nearly laughed right out.
But Peter didn't laugh. No, sir,
Peter didn't laugh, for just that
svery minute something happened.
Sniff! Sniff! That was right behind
him at the very edge of the old brush
pile, and every hair on Peter stood
on end with fright. "Bow, WOW,
wow!" 1t seemed to Peter that that
great voice was right in his very
ears. 1t frightened him so that he
just had to jump. He didn't have
time to think. And so he jumped
right out from under the pile of
brush and, of course, right into plain
sight. And the very instant he
jumped there came another great
roar behind him. Of course, it was
from Bowser the Hound.
Now, when Peter jumped out so
suddenly he had landed right at one
end of the dam. The second roar
of Bowser's great voice frightened
him still more and he jumped right
up on the dam. There was nothing
for him to do now but go across,
and it wasn't the best of going. No,
indeed, it wasn't the best of going.
You see it was mostly tangle Of
sticks. Happy Jack Squirrel or
Chatterer the Red Squirrel or
Striped Chipnunk would have
skipped across it without the least
trouble. But Peter Rabbit has no
sharp, little claws with which to
cling to logs and sticks. and right
away he was in peck Of trouble.
He slipped down between the sticks,
scrambled out, slipped again, and
then, trying to make a long jump,
he lost his balance and-tumbled
head over heels into the water!
Poor Peter Rabbit! He gave HIM
self up for lost this time. He could
swim, but at best he is poor swim
mer and doesn't like the water. He
couldn't dive and keep out Of sight
like Jerry Muskrat or Billy Mink.
All he could do was to paddle as
fast as his legs would 60. The wa
ter had gone up his nose and down
his throat so that he choked, and
all the time he felt sure that Bow
ser the Hound would plunge in after
him and catch him. And If he
shouldn't, why Farmer Browns
Boy would simply wait for him to
come ashore and catch him.
But Farmer Browns Boy didn't
do anything of the kind. No, sir,
he didn't. Instead, he shouted to
