Same Old Problem

- Television offers the same tangle
on the Pacific coast that it offers
everywhere else.
1t cost west coast college teams
from 10000 to 10000 a game in the
matter of attendance. Only the top
affairs had the old-time crowds.
Television cut heavily in Pa
cific coast baseball. No one
knows what the future has to
offer. All they know Is that to-
day television is a wrecking in
stitution for the smaller people
in sport.
1t is crushing out their lives. Minor
leagues and minor football games
are being wiped out.
Army has played to capacity
plus television this year. Down in
Texas, S.M.U. and the Longhorns
have filled the stadiums with tele-
vision thrown in. Notre Dame
crowds have held up despite tele-
vision and poor season. Michigan
had its games televised last year
and played to capacity-563, 1863 for
six home games. This year without
television Git is banned in the Big
Nine) the Wolverines total was but
$4,000 for the same number Of
games at home. All of which proves
nothing from television standpoint
for the ticket sales declined be-
cause of Michigan's disappointing
showing. Figuring an 10000 crowd
this weekend at Ohio State, the
Wolverine total will reach 7l5,OO0
spectators for nine games.
But these are only a few from
the vast mass. Why pay out good
money (pretty good. anyway for
smaller show. when they bring
you a much bigger show for moth
ing?
II might be said here that
baseball will have its troubles
at the winter meeting and there
can be no answer that will
please everybody.
Football also has its television
problems. This new instrument has
suddenly stirred up more trouble
than Noah'S flood once brought to
the world. Everyday an endless
number Of new sets are being sold.
which only adds TO the numbers Of
the stay at homes without any
charge. =
These free spectators" don't
help the sport financially.

Famous Zoo In Washington
Painted, Scraped, Scrubbed

The zoo in the nations capital,
known to children and adults the
entire country over, would be a
tumble Of rusting cages and decay
ing buildings if it we're not for con-
slant upkeep and painting by order
of its Director, DR.. William M.
Mann. De
THE zoo," he says, 'is like a
ship. It's scraped and painted and
scrubbed all the time. We use
about $500 worth Of paint and al
lied products every year-and that
can hardly be called an expense
because it saves thousands in de-
probation" i- ~.
The famous zoo, which has 5000
animals, birds and reptiles to
house, hires one man whose sole
Job is painting. Benches, guard
rails, cages. sheds, inside offices.
work rooms, animal houses, con-
crete floors. watch boxes and gates
all get their paint-protection. Zoo
painting is not done solely to fore
stall rust and decay, however.
Backgrounds are painted to set of
the animals to best advantage.
Even IL it's just a plain wall or
the bars of the cage, a color IL
carefully selected for its appear
ance as well as its durability.
During the depression, young ar
lists were employed by the WPA
to make the zoo more colorful.
They painted backgrounds which
pictured animals in their native
Observation-Disclosures they were Afri-
ca, South America or the North
Pole. Mountains, clouds sc a.
swamps and woods we're all por-
trayed in lovely colors. Artists
were SO earnest and enthusiastic
that even though they had to
pay for the paint themselves on
their low salaries--they selected
only the best.
Thus far the painted backgrounds
have withstood the wear and tear
OF time and rough treatment. The
reptile and bird houses have stood
up especially well. Snakes crawl
besides the edges Of green swamps
and birds spread wings against 9
sky forever blue. Reptiles, in par
ticular, leave their backgrounds
unseathed," DIR. Mann says. But
hippos, elephants and CRATES show
less artistic appreciation. They're
all for using sacred Indian tenn
pie or the River Nile for good
haelS-scrateh."

squawk. They build up some young,
popular star and the big leagues
either make them sell said star or
else they draft him. This is not so
pleasant for the west coast fan. II
isn't so pleasant for the American
Association or the International
League or other strong leagues
either. But no one has worked out
a substitute.
1t isn't any too pleasant for
Montreal to have three or four
popular stars hauled back to
Brooklyn in mid-season. The
main wonder is that with the
draft, plus television, there Is
any minOr-league baseball left.
One answer Is that It Is crum-
bling rapidly and there will soon
be little remaining.
Certainly Los Angeles and San
Francisco are far above many big
league cities in population and sport
interest. How many big-league cities
could draw 10000 to a football
game or $1,000 to a race track on
a single day? On New Years Day,
the Rose Bowl will play to $1,000
and Santa Anita will entertain CO..
900 or more. p
But the problem of third major
league is a heavy one. The problem
of the draft is heavy one. But if
young star was never sold or
drafted, he would never reach the
big league.

Western Revolt

THE WEST COAST is on the edge
: of revolt, unless ,big-league
baseball does something about its
status. There are more sides to
this argument than an octopus has
fingernails. The west coast thinks
it should be the third big league
One argument is that Los An
geles is bigger than three cities
now enjoying this so-calIed hon.
or. San Francisco is no minor
league town. But neither is
Baltimore or Buffalo or Houston
or other cities now rated in the
minOr-league row.

Unlikely to Pass

We do know this, Congressman
Robert L. Doughton, of Sparta,
North Carolina, chairman of the
house ways and means committee,
has written more tax legislation
than any man in the history of this
country. He has been in congress
since 1911, that's 80 years, and he
has been chairman Of the powerful
ways and means committee since
1888, that's II years. and when he
says his committee will consider
only an excess profits tax, he
means it.
What likely will happen is that
the excess profits tax will be
brought out on the floor and the
fight against it will be made there.
The house will support its COM
mittee and pass the excess profits
tax, but the senate likely will not
act. So it will go over to the regular
session of the 82nd, where the fight
will start all over again. And with
this gain for business, it may be
action will come so late in next
congress, none Of the tax will be
applied to this years amazingly
