the Tigers out of the pennant as St. Louis--for whom Washington had no love-copped the flag by winning.
 That immediate, open announce. ment of the bribery attempt had the entire Washington team play- ing much harder behind Dutch to make certain that he won.
 Should Bring Them in Open
 Every sport has it's gambling troubles starting with the Black Sox scandal. Of late they have been plentiful. Baseball last Summer banned Hooper Triplett for life for betting in the minor leagues and Minor League Czar W. c. Bram- ham on retirement last week re- vealed that gamblers are so thick in some sections of the minor leagues that they compete with the vendors in the aisles as they hawk their odds.
 This is the second known at- tempt at pro football fixing, ale though the first one two years ago at Washington was given a white washing. Hockey had its Babe Pratt case. in which the Babe was wise enough to bet on his own team. Racings reputation was getting so many bruises the turf moguls formed their own F.BI. There was the Brooklyn basketball incident two years ago in which five players admitted taking bribes, and prize fighting has many bouts of bad odor where one participant takes a dry dive.
 Yet, where Brooklyns basketeers fell into i'll repute, Utah University's court team Escaped by being above board. The Utes were approached, too. that same season, but they rec ported 1t immediately to Coach Vadal Peterson and that ended that.
 So off the record, the only way to end this fix" business is by conn plete honesty within the ranks, throwing such bribery attempts into the open where the sunshine of publicity will kill off the larcenous lice.
 If Hapes and Filcock had gone right to the front off1ce all this unpleasantness could have been avoided.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. l6-(UP) The Pittsburgh Hornets jumped to a 3-0 lead early in the second peri cd, and cruised to an easy 3-1 win over a sloppy New Haven Ramblers team here last right in an Amer ican Hockey League game before a crowd of $500.
