Midget Auto Mutuels
Draw Fire Of AAA

A telegram voicing American Au-
tomobile Association opposition to
the bill permitting pari-mutuel bet
ting on midget auto races in Prince
Georges County is before Gov. Lane
of Maryland. The Governor has
not yet signed the measure.
Opposition was made by Russell
E. Singer, executive vice president
of the AAA, who wired Gov. Lane:
"Our opinion is that pari-mutuels
in automobile racing are neither
practical nor advisable for mechar-
ical and other reasons. Because Of
mechanical elements involved, 1t
can be readily understood that the
outcome Of such races could be cas-
lily controlled. It would result In
subjecting what Is now one Of the
Nations cleanest sports to criticism
and disrepute. The position taken
by the American Automobile Asso-
citation for many years Is that we
will not cooperate with, sanction
or be identified with any race where
legalized betting is permitted"
The bill before Gov. Lane provides
penalties up to two years imprison-
ment and /or $4,000 for fixing midg-
ct auto races.

Newhouser's S Injury
Slight, Tiger Star
To HurI Opener
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW ORLEANS, April 5.-The
Detroit Tigers much-1auded pitch
ing staff suffered It's first bad break
of the year last night when South
paw Hal Newhouser twisted his
back, but Manager Steve O'Neill is
not greatly concerned about his ace.
Hal should be back in shape ''in a
few days." O'Neill said confidently
when asked If the blond left-hander
would be on the mound as scheduled
when the Bengals open the 1947
American League season against
the Browns in st. Louis April Is.
"He just caught a spike in the
mound and twisted his back bit"
the Tiger boss added. "He ought to
be all right in three, four or five
days"
The injury-which the Tigers hope
is no more serious than O'Nein pre-
dicts-came while Hal was pitch
ing fine ball in an exhibition con-
test with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Newhouser had allowed but one
clean hit up to the fifth inning and
his mates were ahead, 4 to 0, when
the southpaw's cleat caught as he
went into windup.
He had to leave the game and was
replaced by Johnny Corsica, who
gave up a single tally in the ninth
and enabled the Tigers to get the
4-to-1 victory they hope will not
prove too costly.
Newhouser, who signed his con-
tract this season for a reported
$55 900, is the brightest light Of a.
star-studded Tiger pitching staff,
hailed by many as the best in base
ball.
Manager ONein had announced
earlier that Hal would share regular
mound duties with three other con-
sistent Detroit winners, Paul Dizzy
Trout, Freddie Hutchinson and Virgil
Trucks. Besides the "big four" the
Detroit boss also can call on another
capable pair, AL Benton and Stubby
Overmire.
Newhouser has won at least 20
games for the last three seasons, and
has total of 54 victories in 1945
and 1916.
