Madison Square Garden
Attacked By Sportsn1en

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-LP9-Madi-
son Square Garden was described
today as a clearing house rather
than as a promoter of basketball.
by Ned Irish, acting president of
the big Eighth Avenue sports
arena.
With the metropolitan basketball
writer's seeking to delve into the re-
lationship of the garden and local
colleges as an aftermath of the
basketball gambling scandal in
volving five Brooklyn college play
ers, Irish said:
.'The Gardens relationship with
the New York colleges is that of
landlord and tenant. We advise the
schools of the number of nights
available for basketball and they
rent the Garden on percentage
basis.
Naturally, the suggestion that
the promotion by New York col
leges of their own games in the
Garden would help solve the gamb-
ling problem is misnomer for
that is what they are doing now.
The matter of percentage on which
the teams operate is something

YMCA PLANS NEW
ATHLETIC PROGRAM
FOR BUSINESS MEN

With the coming of spring, Adam
Smith, physical director of the
YMCA, has announced special
physical training courses to build
men of stamina and power of re-
sistance.'
Smith pointed out that the coun-
try needs men Of this caliber now
more than ever, on the home front
as well as on the battle front.
These physical training courses
have been designed for men OF
every station in life, from those
preparing to report for induction
to the business men of the City,
who will remain at home, and will
assume greater responsibility to
the community while their sons
and daughters are serving their
country in uniform. 1T is good
business to maintain good health. "
he emphasized.
Smith said that the business

ant contribution to national Sc
curity. Their work is on the home

so desire. In fact the Garden is
rented on a percentage basis fol

THE Garden facilities are avail

RACING OFFICIAL
OPPOSES POSSIBLE
ELECTION OF CAR
Executive Believes Tracks
Are Organized
Adequately
Nv FRED HAYDEN

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.@R'-Alex
Robb, executive secretary for
Thoroughbred Racing Associa-
lions of the U. S., agrees with
many other qualified judges that
the turf, unlike baseball. needs no
high commissioner. 1t is his opinion
that racing is as well organic
ed and represented in Washington
as any other sport.
Robb believes that IRA, which
numbers 80 prominent tracks as
members. is an organization ade-
uuately suited for advising-even
if only semi misunderstanding
ton regarded the industry. He
points out that the Byrnes edict
was directed to the track opera
tors and that they, by the same
token, are the ones most directly
concerned and best fitted to handle
possible situations. Says Robb:
"Mr. Byrnes addressed his re-
quest to the race tracks. The men,
bers met and unanimously appoint
ed TRA's board of directors to rep
resent the 80 member tracks in
any discussions with the Govern
ment. The breeders, also the State
Racing Commissioners, are cooper
ating with the IRA board, where
fore it would seem that, with such
unity in the industry, a car is
unnecessary.
Alex shares a rather widespread
turf telling that to have a high
commissioner would prove imprac-
teal. Where certain regulations
might apply in one state or area.
the same might be totally inappro-
pirate elsewhere, depending upon
differing regional conditions.
When the racing ban came, IRA
promptly announced t h racing
would take care of its own; Robb
explains that the organization is a
natural agency for handling any
cases of distress. Its funds are de.
rived from membership dues.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7. up The
major leagues are contemplating
the elimination of announcement
of probably pitchers in advance Of
games as another punch in the
fight against gambling, although,
in view Of the manpoWer situation.
the term probable pitchers
might be a misnomer. 1t should
be possible pitchers. Even impos-
sible pitchers.
Anyway, the idea is borrowed
from the International League,
which is something like the tail
wagging the dog as suggestions
like that usually start at the top
and work down.
Personally, we don't think the
ban on such announcements will
make a nickle's worth of differ
ence in the betting total, besides
being of definite handicap to the
average fan.
Your average fan has his favor
lite players, including pitchers, and
when he plans to attend a game
he'd like to know whom is is 60
ing to see. It was no accident
that attendance zoomed by thou
sands on days that Bob Feller
pitched, and to a lesser degree
when other outstanding chuckers
were on the mound.
The clubs capitalized on these
star attractions by making such
announcements two or three days
beforehand as: Double header

from making such announcements
the gate naturally would suffer, as
the fans who wanted to see just
Feller wouldn't 60 to the park un-
less they knew definitely he was
slated to 60 that day.
Unless the managers kept their
plans to themselves, not even re-
vealing to the pitcher that he
would start that day until time
for the warmup, there would be
bound to be leaks somewhere, and
the gamblers would be the ones
find them. The average fan
wouldn't take the trouble.
And with the bookies getting Sc
cret information, they would have
even a bigger edge over the cas-
ual bettor. If pitching assignments
were announced in advance as
they have been in the past, at
least everyone would get fair
shake.
That's not defending gambling
on games by any means, but just
figuring that as long as there is
going to be betting, which, despite
efforts to curb it, will stand as
long as baseball is played, it
wouldn't be right for few sharp
ers to have the bulge because Of
their access to private pipe lines.

the favorite in the local tourney
despite the jinx which has kept
him from ever winning here. Six
times he has come to New Orleans
rated among the top pros and six
times he has failed to cop the
prize. His best effort was last
year when he finished in second
place, five strokes behind Sammy

Weiss told the United Press "T,,
one purpose is to build nbv,;'
cally-sound youth. There is nots.

OF the nation"
He said the program has ",

H. (Swede) Larson, former Nsr
football coach; Comdr. William ;
(Killer) Kane, director Of the NJ,
vy's physical fitness program,
John B. Kelley, national wartime
director Of physical fitness. AND
others.
The proposal was inspired BY
disclosure that 51.2 per cent q,
draft registrants between IS and
80 were rejected for physical de.
fectS more than half Of which
could have been corrected under
proper supervision and care - and
the release of more than 100000
men from the armed forces for
lack of physical soundness.
The rate of reflections and dis.
charges for physical reasons was
far above the German percentage,
Weiss said.
He said that il a physical pre-.
paredness program had been in ef.
feet prior to the war it would have
saved countless thousands of lives,
made it unnecessary to draft mar.
ried men, eliminated the conse.
quent impact on American fami.
lies and averted the current man

"Our sole objective is to make
physical fitness mandatory part
of not only the school program
from kindergarten on up but 10
educate all the youth of America
boys and girls - in the great
need for physical fitness" he said
The proposed physical fitness
commission would include two
House members. two Senate mem
bers and five others selected by
the President. Each would serve
for two years. A chairman, to b
named from among the five pres
ioential appointees, would be pad
$4,000 a year. Other members
would serve without pay.
