(Reg. U. s. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspond,


 New York, Feb. TO-, CUP)-Wash- ington department heads, who singled out racing as an ugly duck ding" of sports seven weeks ago to- day, are beginning to regard the gallop and-gamble Advertisement as a sort of White Swan because of the admirable manner in which the hosS industry has reacted to the ban.
 According to sources well-inform- ed at the capital, this new regard for racing may bring about re- opening of the nations tracks in April, if war reports continue favor able.
 Washington officials were pleas antly surprised at racingiS calm intelligent acceptance of the shut down which mobilization director James F. Byrnes requested on Dec g, we are informed. They expected turf leaders to give of loud "beefs, :" charging discrimination. They ex- pected intense lobbying to have the ban removed, accompanied by pres sure from congressman and gover- nors befriending the golden enter prise which handled $1,126, 6,308,645 in IT states during 1944 and en- riched these states and taxes.
 But nothing like that happneed. Instead, the racing industry-With it's $200,000,000 investment and its 10000 employeS-quietly took stock of the situation and sent Harry A. Parr, 3rd. to Washington to inquire if there was any way in which rac- ing could be additionally useful in helping to win the war. Young Parr genial and genteel, is president of the Maryland Jockey Club and president of the Thoroughbred Rac- ing Association of the United States. He made a favorable impression with the right people" in Washing ton, we learn. by offering all-out cooperation instead of asking favorS.
 Our capital sources emphasize that, despite many rumors of turf lobby, there has actually been none.
 Meanwhile, turf men of the na- tion have quietly awaited develop ments; and only in couple of iso- lated instances have persons con- nected with the sport popped off. Owners of strings have tried to keep their horses in condition by work outs, under the supervision of men unacceptable for armed service. In New York, for example, the stables at Belmont Park are well populated; ard there is great activity there in the mornings.
 Chats with horsemen there dis close that a similar situation pre- vails in many other racing centerS, and that there will be plenty of thoroughbreds ready to run if and when the tracks are reopened. In this connection it is recalled that there were approximately 1l,20O starters at the various tracks in 1944-starters that performed be- fore 18,000,000 people.
 Racings admirable reaction to the ban may help them start again this year

CHASE VS BRASS TIME AND TOOL
 CLUBS PAIRED

More than little depends upon the outcome of IRA. league basket ball games Sunday afternoon at the YMCA, inasmuch as American Brass and Chase Brass and Copper are paired to play. A loss for the ABC lads will just about nullify their protest of U. s. Rubber Wc- tory last week, decision to be an- nounced tomorrow through Chair man Hubert Cunningham of the protest committee.
 In the meantime, U. s. Rubber has bounced into first place again, with the aid of their protested win over the Brassies; as the defending champs have since defeated Scovill ERA. 45-43, the team which had shared the league lead with them prior to last Wednesday evening.
 U. s. T. vS. WatcOs
 Other games tomorrow, bring toe gether USTime and Waterbury Tool, the former rated as strong favorites because of Tools seasonal record to date-1 win in g starts. Yet, Tom Magner's has potential "class" which, if co-ordinated on a day when the ball Is going through the nets rather than hitting the rims: could provide an upset any time the Watcos take the floor. USTime has a young, speedy club of good ball-handlers, with John Stollar, Skippy Goodwin. Stan Grey, Jackie and Bill Delaney as a combination that can run all day and then some; and with better than ordi- nary shooting skill inside the ten second line.
 Seth Thomas a 4-3 team at this writing takes on Mattatuck Mfg, yet to win its first game after seven starts, in B" division contest, scheduled for starting at 1:30 p. m.

By JOHN LEWIS STONE

New Orleans, La. Feb. 10.-CUPl Harold (Jug) McSpaden of San" ford, Me, always a tough golfer to beat in tournament, today led field of nearly 100 into the second round of the 5000 New Orleans Open with a two stroke margin over his nearest competitors.

 Snead Goes "SOur"
 Sammy Snead, highly regarded as a possible winner before the first round, provided the biggest disap- pointment of the day when ho scared to a 78 to drop out of con- tention. Snead was in trouble con- stantly and once shot his ball into the crook of tree and had to take an extra shot to shake it down.
 Craig Wood, duration National Open champion from Mamaroneck, N. Y, and Johnny Bulla of Chi cago were tied for fifth with 71's.
 Sammy Byrd of Detroit, former big league baseball player and one of the leading money winning pro- fessionals, appeared to have recov- cred from a sore arm but still was of his game from lack of practice carding a 75.
