In Case Ban
Goes On Here
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

Three different groups. one Of
them made up of Detroiters, are
seeking an option on the Devon
shire race track at Windsor be-
cause of the possibility that horse
racing may be declared unconsti-
tutional in Michigan.
Legalization of the sport in
Michigan in 1888. following a %
year lapse, killed racing in Wind
sor, which had for years drawn
huge revenues from u. S. pat
ronage.
Devonshire was the last to close.
An abbreviated and unsuccessful
meeting was run in 1884 between
Detroit meetings, by the late Will
liam Woollatt. Then it was sold
to the Meretsky brothers, Wind
sor merchants, who still retain
ownership.
The Devonshire racing strip is

HELP LEGION

An appropriation of $50, 900 was
voted 10 the American Legion
junior baseball program and the
two leagues went on record rs
being in general accord with the
postwar recommendations of the
committee on cooperation with
high school baseball, but took no
definite action.
With deals of comparative little
general interest, the meetings
were the dullest on record in the
matter of player trades. The
White Sox figured in three Of the
deals announced.
They gave James (Skeeter)
Webb TO the Tigers for Joe
Orengo, traded Ed Garrett to the
Indians for Oris Hockett and
snapped Jake Wade 10 the Yam
KEGS for Jimmy Johnson. Carnett
and Hockett are outfielders and
Wade and Johnson left handed
pitchers.
Webb, 80 years old and a son-in-
law of Steve O'Neill, the Tiger
manager, first came 10 the majors
in 1889 with Cleveland. The In
dians sold him 10 st. Paul, whence
he went 10 the SoX in January,
1910. He had been with Jimmy
Dykes ever since.
Johnson and Wade are both
former Tigers. Johnson, a product
of Ypsilanti Normal, was one OF
the more than 90 Detroit-owned
players freed" by the late Com
missioner Lands. He got bonus
of $1,000 to sign with the YAM
KEGS.
