Norrogonsett Ready To Go"

Pawtucket. R. l., May 8-UP)- New England will have horse racing within a week" after government officials flash the green light, ac- cording to President James E. Dooley of the Narragansett racing Asso- citation.
 Narragansett Park, where some FOG thoroughbreds are in training, will be the first New England track to open, Dooley said. Schedules have been arranged with the other two tracks in the region-Suffolk Downs at East Boston, and Rockingham Park at Salem, N. Hand each will shorten it's regular racing season, he explained.
 There were GA days of racing at Naragansett Park last year, while Suffolk Downs and Rockingham Park each had 60 days. It was indi- cated that if go-ahead were given shortly, Narragansett would run for perhaps 25 days, when Suffolk Downs would stage longer meeting before the PaWtucket track opened. The first Rockingham meeting would follow Suffolk Downs, accord ing to the tentative schedule, and the second would close the New England season in October and Mo- vember.

| lie censure, and (2) that he would keep baseball free from racetrack gambling.
 According to this front-paged edi- toIial, the breeding of horses is a leading industry in Kentucky, the state which elected Chandler to serve it as senator And the writer of the editorial because it is com concile Chandler's alleged references to racing with his job as senator from the Blue Grass state.
 We refrain from repeating much of the dynamite contained in the piece because we probably will have professional contacts later with Commissioner Chandler; and we do not desire punch in the nose. We have a very tender proboscis.
 However. we will quote one part of teh editorial because it is com- paratively mild and because We be- lieVe the writer makes a point. It says:
 'The latest explanation of the baseball commissioner as to why ballplayerS and umpires should stay away from the racetracks is be- cause they cannot be allowed to associate with bookmakers, or l may have trouble AS a matter of fact. bookmakers do a bigger business handling Wagers on baseball and football games than they do on the horseraces. And, as a one- time gov ernor of a state having legalized parl-mutuel betting, Chandler knows that the bookmaker is more despised by the racetrack operator than he is by any other sports pro- moter. The senator, who presumably Is not ignorant of these matters should know that even one book make within the grounds of a race track competes with the legalized mutuel machines, and consequently could take revenue away from the track and it's partner, the etats. The natlonally-knoWn Pinkerton and other detective agencies who police the racetracks will attest to the above; it is their function to keep out such undesirables as bookmak- CTS, WHO III our considered opinion, frequent the major league baseball parks to far greater extent than they do the racetracks.'
 The daily racing form is the off, clay newspaper of the National As- soclation of State Racing Commis- sloners. If the torrid words of the editorial reflect truly the attitude of the racing industry, it is apparent that one Of the bitterest feuds in sports history is blossoming. It is blosSoming just when racing awaits the lifting of the ban" by War Mobllizer Fred M Vinson - ex- pected this week. It is hlossoming Just as racing expects to get under way on at least five U. s. tracks next week.

Fovorites Win PorochiuI ests

Plenty of runs for margin be- tween winners and losers were bat ted in by schoolboys in all but one of -Four Parochial League baseball games yesterday. St. Francis Xavier and St. Mary's put on the best game of the day won by the hill" kids 6 to a four run fourth inning pro- viding just enough to win. O'Connor and Caufield hit well for St. Fran cis, Smith giving St. Mary's but four hits.
 In other games, favorites won with Sts. Peter and Paul, St. Thomas and St. Joseph's winning with plen- ty to spare and keeping their record Tn the standing clear of defeat. St. Joseph's defeating St. Margaret 10 to l as Januska gave the Cracker Hill lads but two hits, as walks and errors with a pair of doubles in suc- cessive innings, allowed runs in the fifth and sixth innings.

 St. Thomas came through with a 9-3 win over St. Ann's as Aradeo gave the Trenches but five hits; Grady getting three of the II St. Thomas hits off Bellevire.
 Sacred Heart provided no opposi- ton for Sts. Peter and Paul in an all-east end game, won by the de- feating champs 12-1, Clancy hitting 4 for 5 at bat; the Hearts scoring hits off DWyer and Ciancola.

SACRED HEARTS IN NEW SIX
 TEAM LEAGUE

Efforts begun in Waterbury last winter to reorganize western Con- necticut high schools into basket ball league were crowned with suc- cess with the announcements that six high schools will be represented in the West Connecticut Basketball Conference next season.
 Sacred Heart High of Waterbury, where organization plans began through the efforts of Rev. John w. Dial, principal of the high school and Coach Edward Conlan is one of the six members, with Litchfield, Watertown, Thomaston, Morris and Terryville also to meet each other on the court during league conpe- tition. Officers of the conference elected few days ago include: Ed ward Stuart, Thomaston, president; Edward Conlan, Sacred Heart, vice. president; Bob Cooke, Watertown, secretary-treasurer and director of public relations.
 In Two Loops
 An oddity of the setup is that Litchfield and Morris High school are also members of the Housatonic Valley league; but will play in both leagues next season, which their schedule permits, as they play r2gu- larly against teams in the new league not members of the Housa- tonic.
 Soccer football between at least four of the six teams named above may also be tried next fall. Team and individual awards will be made in basketball with players in all sports from the six schools to gath CT one day next fall to be selected later

Golf Quickly Proves Itself To Doctors
 In WeII-Rounded Convo|escent Program
By NEA Service

Miami Beach-The American Air Forces are doing all they can to spread an epidemic-the golf bug among convalescents in the 12 AAF Personnel Distribution Command hospitals throughout the country.
 It. Ben Hogan. a three time winner of the Vardon Trophy and top money winning professional when he joined up. is touring PDC installations. helping the golf bug put the bite on the pa- tients. many of whom are ampu- tees learning \ to use newly &C., quired artificial limbs and read justing daily routines.
 It. Hogans first stop on an itin- erary that will take him all over the United States was the famous Miami-Biltmore course.
 His prize pupil was Capt. Ken meth G. Jewell, 22-year-old B-24 Liberator pilot of Bedford, Pa, who lost his left leg to fax over Berlin on his 18th mission. He won the DSC for bringing his ship back to base. has the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart and Air Medal with three clusters.
 SELF-PROOF TO AMPUTEE
 Golfng, under the expert eye of instructor Hogan, was an i'm portant part of the training which enabled Captain Jewell to use his artificial leg almost as well as his right.
 Naturally" explains Lieuten- ant Hogan, "amputees don't have the power in their drives that ordinary golfers have, but they soon realize that and concentrate on approach shots. Their putting comes in for extra polishing, too designed to offset the handicap of hampered driving
 AAF medical authorities put much stock in the Royal and An cient as part of a well-rounded convalescent program. Golf helps returnees with severe handicaps to readjust themselves and de- velop new skills. It aids them in finding new interests, is self proof to the amputees that all is not lost
 Golf was given a tremendous push in the Miami district when Lieutenant Hogan checked in, but even before the noted teachers arrival the Miami -Biltmmore course, now Army property along with the renowned Coral Gables hotel of which it is a part, had received it's share of attention.
 Returnees have played 25,448 rounds of prescription golf" on the 18-hole Miami Biltmore course alone in 20 months of Army possession. Patients at Miami Beach units keep two Beach courses busy.
 From Miami, Lieutenant Hogan was headed for St. Petersburg, Fla, Santa Ana and Santa Mon- ica, Calf; Ft. George Wright, Wash; Ft. Logan, Colo; Bowman Field and Ft. Thomas, Ky, Camp Davis, N. O.; Richmond, Va, and Pawling and Plattsburg, N. Y.
 Prescription golf may use the largest pills in it's treatment, but they're the easiest and most pleasant to take.
