Leagues Precautions
To Avoid Temptation
One Of Chief Issues
By Sid FEEDER
Assecioted Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The loudest
scandal in professional sports since
the Chicago Black Sox case has re-
suited in the conviction of the man
accused Of trying to fix the National
Football Leagues 1916 champion
ship game, but several questions for
the league to ponder were left over
today from the trial of Alvin j.
Paris.
Chief of these are:
/. What training and condition
ing rules would permit valuable
players such as Passing Ace Frank
Flchock and Fullback Merle Hapes
to hit the night club belt until the
wee hours only a few days before
an important game, and what pre-
cautions-if any-are taken to pre-
vent it?
Both the players testified they
were in the Copacabana Night Club
with Paris until 4 am, December /,
only seven days before the New
York Giants were to meet the Wash
ington Redskins for the Leagues
Eastern championship. And Hapes
said he was there until after 8 am
December 8, just a week before the
title tussle with the Bears.
Surveillance of Players.
2. How can a gambler become ac-
quainted with important players,
know them well enough to try to
bribe them to throw game, and
actually be able to visit the clubs
training camp and talk to them two
days before the title tilt-without
some official becoming inquisitive
enough to check up on the mans
identity and activities? Is there
any surveillance to prevent such
associations of players and shady
characters?
3. How can gambler reach a
position where he is able to find
out about the clubs condition and
injuries-testimony at the trial said
Paris knew when Frank Reagan was
to play in place of the injured Bill
Paschal-and to procure other in
formation helpful to gamblers?
At the trial, 1t was testified Paris
even knew such private information
as to the amount a player would re-
ceive as a share of the players
pool in the title game. Assistant
District Attorney George Monaghan
asserted during the trial that Paris
was able to give an Elizabeth IN. j.
bookmaking Office "a blow-by- blow
description of his progress in de-
stroying these players"
Bell Pondering Next Step.
National League Gar Bert Bell
today is pondering possible action
against Hapes and Filchock for
withholding information of the bribe
offer from their coaches. He ques-
toned both for about rs minutes
yesterday. But it is apparent Bell
is going to have to turn himself
into something of Judge Lands to
put an iron hand down against the
possibility Of a recurrence.
In the late judges day in base
ball, you recall, the players held
him and his Office in such respect
they would have been afraid to step
out of Uneven If they wanted to
because they knew Judge Lands
would find out sooner or later. One
manager once said it was "uncanny"
the way the Judge learned all things.
In baseball, too, managers usually
have some way-either through des-
ignating individuals for the job or
doing it themselves-to check up on
the coming and goings of players.

NEW YORK, Jan. Gam
bling on sports isn't funny sub

National Collegiate A. A. Con-
yention yesterday you probably
could have gotten 6 to 5 and 10
points that nothing will happen
as a result Of the antigambling
resolution adopted by the coll
lege sports leaders. Maybe
too. After devoting a couple
of hours to torrid debate a round
table group came up with a reso-
luton which said, as we see it:

ScoIari's Hot Defense
Tells as Caps Romp
|0ver Providence

"The best little man in the
league he stays close to his
man and is there to stop any fast
breaks"
That's how Coach Red Auerbach
of Washington's Capitols describes
that big-little man, Fred Scolari,
who always trots of to the bench
at Uline Arena to thunderous ap-
plause from fans.
Scolari, who began his basket
ball career in a San Francisco Boys
Club and whose scholastic mound
deliveries led to a Coast League
baseball offer, was not a college
great. He attended San Francisco
University only one year.
Since coming to the Caps from
Dardi Athletic Club, however, Sco-
lari has helped greatly to keep the
locals in top position in the Basket
Ball Association Of America.
Stops Sharpshooter.
Last night, for example, the one
handed set-shot artist bucketed nine
field goals for 18 points, just four
shy of the total hit by his West
Coast neighbor, Bob Feerick.
Scolari also had the job Of sha-
dowing Providence's Ernie Calver-
ley, who set a collegiate scoring rec
ord at Rhode Island State three
years ago. Last night Calveriey
scraped together three points and
one was from the charity stripe.
Last nights final score, 77-69, prob
ably would have been run up to
the century mark by the Caps had
not Auerbach decided to give his
reserves some practice throwing the
ball around. ..
In rolling over the Steamrollers
for the fourth time, the Caps rolled
up their 18th home-court victory.
Washington's five losses came on
the road.

In a preliminary, Georgetown
Boys Clubs 90-pounders coasted to

Coaches who were accused of batting traps for
tailbacks and 220-pound tackles were quick to put
on injured looks and point out that alumni
voluntarily provide the sales talks and financial
inducements, not the coaches. Athletic directors
pointed some fingers toward alumni and said
precisely the same thing.

the power and influence of college presidents.

NMacaroni and mushroom soak

1t is hearty enough to keep the

its eggs, cheese and mushrooms

To make the scallop, cook one
package of macaroni according to
directions on the package and

two beaten eggs, one cup of
grated cheese, one can of mush-

salt and one and one-half tea
spoons of celery salt.

But Let us remember that almost
every crackpot cancer cure has
been tested by competent medical
authorities, and never has there
been a single one which proved
to be OF any value.

In some cases cancer remedies

The solution to the problem of

italy more expensive, may prove
the more economical choice.
Then, try to know the grade you
purchase. Three-fourths of the
meat sold in the US comes under
federal inspection so look for the
purple grade mark. Choice or good
grades may be roasted and broiled,
as may some especially good cuts
of the B grade, or commercial.
BUT the ordinary B cuts and the
c, or utility grade; furnish ex-
actly the same nutrition and can
be equally flavorsome if properly
cooked-which means long, slow,
moist cooking by either braising
or simmering.
incidentally, long slow cooking
is recommended for roasts, too.
Don't let your oven regulator go
over the 800 or $50 mark.
Braising is the best method for
the less tender cuts of beef and
lamb and for pork and veal, which
should be cooked well. To braise,
brown meat slowly in a heavy pot,
season, add small amount of
liquid (water, tomato juice, wine
or bouillon), cover and cook Slow
ly on low flame. Use the liquid
in the pan to make gravy and you
have an extremely flavorsome
dish since seasonings penetrate
praised meat much more thor
oughly than roasted meat.
THOSE who have pressure cook
ers find them invaluable for this
kind of cookery since they save
time and fuel in addition to pro-
ducing a delicious meal.
Simmering, the process used for
stews and cold meats, requires
enough liquid to cover the meat.
But it means just that-not boil
ing on a high flame. If you are
going to use the meat cold. as in
the case of ham, tongue, corned
beef, etc, it's best to let the meat
cool in the cooking fluid to add
to the flavor and reduce shrink
age.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-11-15

But you can't strike against
meat at every meal-nor is your
family going to take chopped meat
forever, no matter how skillfully
you disguise it. So it's up to you
to make the most of the precious
meat you do buy.
Thousands of experiments in
the past few years have shown
that the wrong kind of cooking
can not only tougher meat but
shrink it unnecessarily.
SOME shrinkage is inevitable,
but if you bring your cooking
methods up to date, you can cut
out at least one-fifth of the shrink
age in those potroasts made "the
way mother used to do it."

Continuously praiSing him for
being good, strong, pretty, smart,
talented-or whatever the virtue
may be can only foster in him an
attitude OF self-absorption.
The idea in commencing and
approaching his deeds rather than
his person is to establish his pride
and pleasure in doing things well,
so that he feels the thing he has
done is more important than what
he is.
FOLLOWING are several ex-
amples of the mistaken way in
which adults commonly praise a
child and after each, the sounder
way of doing it:
.Dickie was home from school
with cold. He was building a
bridge with the new tinker toy
which his father had bought to
help him pass the time. Mother"
he called, "Come here and see
what I made" Mother looked at
the bridge = a neatly balanced
piece OF work, and said enthusiast
tically, "Why Dickie! What a
clever boy you are to figure that
out. We must certainly show
Daddy what a good builder you
are"
The better way: 'sDickie, that is
a fine bridge. Lets save it to show
Daddy. He will be tickled to see
it, I know" Emphasis on fine
bridge; not on clever boyo
DoTTIE'S mother was busy
telephoning. Supper was almost
ready and daddy was expected
home any moment. When mother
returned to the kitchen she found
that Dottie had set the table with
out being asked. sAren't you a
good girl? Mother thinks you are
very good girl"
Mother would have done better
to say, "Well, am I surprised! What
a fine job of setting the table.
That's help, Dottie." emphasis
on fine job rather than good girl.)
By all means let the children
be stimulated and guided by
praise; but let the praise be the
kind which will broaden their
outlook rather than limit it in a
kind of self-love.

This is one of the most con-
temptible examples of consumer
exploitation, for in this case the
consumer is a sick person who is
desperately afraid he is going to
die from cancer and is in the
market for anything in the way
OF medical treatment which will
cure him.
Such persons fall prey easily to
the unscrupulous merchants of
fake cures who WOO them with
sensational advertisements and
claims. Lack of information and
understanding by the consumer is
partly responsible for his being
duped.
BUT there is another factor,
an economic one, which is equally
important. Competent diagnosis
and treatment of cancer are ex-
pensive. Cancer must be diagnosed
early to be cured. But the aver
age person who, for example, has
indigestion lasting a couple of
months cannot afford to pay for
x-rays and specialist services.
He will put off visiting the doc
tor until his indigestion gets much
worse, and in the meantime he
will buy stomach pills" The
public spends close to $40 million
year for stomach nostrums. I'm
questionably this delay often per-
mits early cancer to gain foot
hold making it difficult to cure
and sometimes fatal.
Once cancer has been diagnosed
the cost of treatment is also very
high. The only effective treat
ment known today is surgery,
x-ray or radium. The average in
dividual cannot afford these serv-
ices or they may not be available
in his community. In desperation
he succumbs to the false propa-
ganda of the quacks.
THE PRODUCERS of these
phony cures often claim they will
cure tuberculosis, eczema, syphil-
lis, psoriasis and other conditions
IN addition to cancer. Many of the
large-scale manufacturers can pro-
duce witnesses who will swear
they have been cured of cancer.
Their miraculous before and
after pictures are familiar to most
OF us, and from time to time we
may hear from fellow worker
or neighbor about a case which

By the As.oeiofsd Press

TOKYO, Sunday, Mar. 16.-An
earthquake and new advances
toward democracy featured Decem-
ber activities in Japan, Gen. Mac
Arthur said in his report Tor that
month, released today.
The supreme Allied commander
said the earthquake and tidal wave,
which struck December 81, left
1 .289 dead, 1854 injured and 94,669
homeless. More than 10000 homes
and other buildings were destroyed
and $4,000 damaged. Some $500
vessels were lost.
On the political front, Gen. Mac
Arthur noted approvingly that "the
Diets enactment of legislation i'm
plementing the new constitution
highlighted Japan's advancement
toward democracy" He referred to
land reform and labor legislation.
BY December, crops of rice, po-
tatoes, wheat and barley were har-
vested, and Gen. Macarthur noted
that the rice and sweet potato crops
were good. The fish catch improved
and 288 whales were landed, many
in the Antarctic.
