A bill to outlaw the free
zoo" racket Is proposed in the
present session of the Louisi-
ana Legislature. One of the Lou
isiana solons, who plans to in
troduce the bill, says that the
ZOOS 'are lust a coverup for
a shell game" and that tourists
r being gypped by the oper-
ators of the so-called zoos. OPP
Grafton of. the ZOOS is made pos
sible both by the cupidity and
stupidity of man. The visiting
tourist is lured into a gambling
game, allowed to win a few
bucks in order TO prime him
for the killing. The operator of
the crooked game, well versed
in his trade, leads hi mon. The
tourist decides that he may
as well take advantage of this
soft setup and fatten his wal
let. He plunges anywhere
from $50 to $500 and, of course,
is promptly taken.
Then comes the squawks
about crooked gambling. OF
course. if he had won there
would have been no squawks,
but, his cupidity had the upper
hand and he was stupid enough
10 think that crooked gamblers
operate roadside gyp joints to
fatten the wallets of visiting
tourists. We have little sym
patty for the adult individual
who gets taken in these joints,
but we also think the joints
have no business being allow
ed to operate under the dis
guise of a free ZOO. Louisiana
would do well to legislate them
out of business, but unfortun-
ately most would probably
move to Mississippi, where
there is already a healthy scat
tering of them. Maybe our own
legislature can get around to
doing something about the
racket at their next session.
Another commentary on lust
how fareieal Mississippis pro
hibition laws are is seen in. the
action of Natchez in passing a
BLACK market" ordinance aimed
at taxing the river eity's long
established and open liquor
trade. The ordinance, of course.
is inspired by Mississippi's own
"black market" tax under
which our state, with probably
the most stringent prohibition
laws in the Union. also sue
ceeds in collecting a 10 percent
tax on liquor sales. Natehez

CLEVELAND INDIAN ROCKIES MAY
PROVE CHAMPIONSHIP FACTORS

cleveland Indians hopes to sue
cessfully defend the Worlds
Championship in the 1949 World
Series may depend on the abil-
ity of several rockies recently
signed to compete for regular po-
sitions during spring training.
BY purchase and the draft, the
Indian roster has been swelled to
80, including five newcomers to
Gajor league circles. These five,
together with ten others who have
previously worn Indian livery dur
ing spring training, will provide
the early nucleus of concerned
rookie scramble for permanent
lockers in the Tribe clubhouse.
iInfelds Fred Marsh and Bobby
Wilson, catcher Milt Stockhausen,
pitcher Will Hafey and outielder-
first baseman Herman Reich COM
prise the quintet of new arrivals
Hho will do battle with such ia
miliar rockies as Ray Boone,
AL Rosen and Ray Murray.
Perhaps the brightest future in
the group belongs to Freddie
Marsh, a 24-year-old German
Irish lad, who owes his Indian
affiiation to the same man. who
brought Bob Feller into the wig
wan, Cy Slapnicka.
>"Slap" has already gone on
,ycord by tagging Marsh with a
"can't miss" label and the youth
full shortstop-third baseman has
done nothing to indicate other
wise.
Playing for AA Oklahoma City
this summer he switched from a

boosted his average forty points
to .305 in the face of much bet

ter pitching than he'd seen the
summer before with Burlington.
On the record, he could well join
Boone and Rosen for a really
capable rookie infield.
First baseman for this group of
newcomers would necessarily be
Herman Reich, a 30-year-old minor
Lacquer and the Indians only
draft choice.
During 194s, Reich participated
in 1877 games-more than anyone
else in organized baseball-while
hitting a very respectable .324
for Portland in the Pacific Coast
League.
Tagged by Scout Hollis Thurs
ton as a Every good fielding
first baseman," Reich boasts the
extremely unusual combination
of hitting right handed and
throwing left.
Of the remaining three only
pitcher Will Hafey, obtained from
Oakland for George Metkovich,
appears to have a top drawer
chance of catching on with the
Tribe in 1949.
Winner of 13 contests while
losing 10, the 210-pound Hafey
is also a darkhorse candidate for
the outfeld. While temporarily
sidetracked from mound duties
with an ailing arm, he was used
in the Oaks outer garden and did
a better than average job, hitting
.282 and driving in "a runs in
just 131 times at bat.

Rabbit Season
Ends December 18

Ohio cottontails able to out
smart meat-hungry nimrods since
November Is will have earned a
new lease on life at 4 p. m. De-
cember 1S, when the 1948 rabbit
hunt ends. But for most rabbits
it's like jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire for although
they nave have managed to sur
vive a 45 day hunting season they
will be faced with a new menace,
old man winter.
Ohio wildlife each year find the
winter time little harder to en-
dure because of scarcity of
cover and food but the Division
of Conservation field men as
usual will be providing shelters
and food when the going gets
rough, especially in those areas
set aside as game refugees where
game concentrates even during
the hunting season. Farmers often
leave a patch of standing corn
! or other grain, sometimes inten-
tionally and sometimes uninten-
tionally and wild game will some
how usually find it.
During the hunting season both
rabbits and pheasants scatter out
| over larger areas than normal to
escape the hunters gun but grad
ually get together again at the
close of the season when winter
sets in, and remain in concentra-
tions near food and cover through
the early spring mating season and
then start travelling all over again.

Minneapolis, but the deal was fin
ally closed in Chicago this morn
Ing.
Despite his very mediocre show
ing in about one-third of the sea
son which he played with Toledo
last year, Manager Leibold feels
that Corona could be developed
into n valuable performer. There
is little doubt that Corona's atti-
tude in l94S wasn't exactly con-
ducive to his playing a top notch
brand of ball. He practically COM
muted between Toledo and San
Antonio, being with each club
twice during the campaign. Lei
bold feels that with the proper
spirit Corona could be an excell-
ent prospect, particularly seeing
that he is only twenty-four years
old.
One auSpicious item in Corona's
194S batting record was the fact
that in his brief appearance, most
ly as a pinch hitter, he hit six
home runs. The top figure for any
individual in the club was McQuil-
lens fourteen circuit clouts. Lei
bold is also satisfied with the buy
ing of Corona because should he
develop properly he will provide
some right-handed hitting
strength. At the present time
most of the players who figure
to be sent down from the Detroit
roster next spring swing from the
left side of the plate.
Corona lives in Detroit.
