A postwar committee of major

Veterans returning TO their

World Series rules close the player

HUNDREDS LEAVE

Hundreds OF fans were stream
ing out of the gates after the first
two races because il was almost
TO move in the crowd
which stretched from the head OF
the stretch to the clubhouse.
ITS true. We just can't han
die the big crowds with these
stands. know many couldn't
get near the windows" said
Edward p. Strong, president of
the Detroit Racing Association.
The outmoded grandstand, built
for the Michigan state Fair, is
still the betting bottleneck despite
the expenditure of approximately
$3.50 900 by the lease-holding De-
troit Racing Association TO improve
the seating and betting facilities.
Only one suggested move could
add enough betting windows 10
accommodate the crowd. That
would be to place the payoff win
dows on the outside of what is now
the grandstand and give all the
present betting shed windows TO
the ticket sellers.
Since the associations lease runs
out in 194S, it is unlikely that the
present group of track operators
will make the big change in the
stands.

Mya+t Speedy. Too

AS IS known. the Senators fea-
ture speed afoot. They run bases
like mad and make the opposition
even madder. Whereas in other
years they had one George Case,
a super man on the sacks, they
now have two, Jack Myatt is the
new George Case" twin. Myatt
didn't steal any bases yesterday.
but he might break out any min
ute and run away with the Penob-
scot Building.
Out of the lineup for a week,
Case may be back today or to-
morrow. He sprained his leg in
Chicago while demonstrating his
base stealing ability for the bene-
fit of motion picture cameras.
George was the leagues leading
base stealer for five years from
1889 TO 1913. He was laid up with
injuries last year.
