Oakland Club Nav
Have New Owners

OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. 18. CUP)
CUP)-The Oakland Pacific Coast
league baseball club may pass to
new ownership by next Tuesday,
Victor Devicenzi, president of the
club and majority stockholder, said
today.
Joe Blumenfeld and Clarence
Laws, owners of chain of motion
picture theaters in San Francisco,
Oakland and other northern Cali
fornia cities, are negotiating for
the purchase, Devicenzi said.
The sale price was reported to be
between $4,000 and 100000. Devi-
cenzi, who has been a stockholder
in the club since 1880 and in sole
control since 1885, has set next
Tuesday as the deadline for a deci-
sion.
Reports that the prospective pur-
chasers would bid for Babe Ruth's
services as manager were denied by
Laws, who said that might be a
good idea, but we honestly hadn't
thought of it."

SPORTS PARADE

ing. He lost his temper and gave
no dice plenty of bumps before the
race was finished. Eddie then gave
off much profanity before the Of
ficials' stand-in front of too many
fans.
Although the jacky club officials
realized that the main thing wrong
with Arcaro was his hell -for-leather
determination to win, the record of
other rough rides was against him:
so he was set down for an indie
terminate period that proved to be
a year.
Everyone connected with racing
expects that Arcaro will come back
"contrite" after losing about $780,
900 in potential earnings-after
about in the dawn as an
exercise boy for Mrs. Payne Whit
ney. And despite his temper, the
Italian probably will ride
with his hands instead of his hates
from now on.

By JACK CuDDY

NEW YORK, Sept. l8.-UP)-
American racing, playing to the big
gest mutCel handles in the history
of the turf, is menaced by the
scarcity of exercise boys-boys who
are given scarcely nod of recogni-
ton in normal times.
The betting may increase during
! the next year or two on Mediocre
Mounts, but the improvement of the
breed will suffer serious setback
due TO the absence of the proper
kind of little fellers to ride the
thoroughbredS at dawn.
BARGAIN SALES
And this lack of boys-this lack
of training for young mounts-will
cause even the big stables, like Mrs.
Payne Whitney's Greentree project
to dispose of their stock at bargain
prices. You've just got to have
proper exercise boys TO develop
young horses, and to keep the older
ones in shape.
In normal times, an exercise boy
gets about $3.50 a month-and is
satisfied because he loves the horses
His best age ranged from l8 to "a
year old, and his weigh should not
pass ITO pounds. But now they are
glad to get exercise boys of 40
years, and scaling up to 140. And
they can't get enough of them
due to wartime inroadS.
We talked to Herbert Bayard
Swope, chairman of the New York
State racing commission, about this
situation. He said, I'VE will look
into it."
We became involved in this eXer-
else boy crisis through an inquiry
into the future of Eddie Arcaro, the
top flight jocky who was suspend
ed a year ago ror rough riding. He
is slated to begin riding again on
Monday.
