USGA Head
Worried About
Calcutta Bets

NEW YORK, April 90 (AP).-
A proposal before the United
States Golf Association may
strike a death blow to big golf
tournaments with Calcutta
pools, such as the Tournament
of Champions held last week
end at Las Vegas, New.
Joe Dey, executive director of
the USGA. says it has been
suggested that players who
compete in such events be
barred from the National Open
championship.
II don't know what action
will be taken at our meeting
next January" Dey added.
"It's a matter for the Executive
Committee. But golf is strongly
opposed to any tournaments
having the slightest connection
with organized gambling"
If such a ban were in effect
now, most of the games top
pros would be affected. The
field in the Las Vegas event
consisted of men who had won
sanctioned PGA tournaments
during the year.
Mike Souchak, the former
Duke football player, took the
first prize of $4,000. A syndi-
cate, which bought him for
$4,000 in the Calcutta pool,
collected 1929
The normal procedure is that
the player be cut in for 10 per
cent of the Calcutta winnings.
This means Souchak should
have picked up an extra $12,230.
Without citing any par
ticular tournament, I would
like to say we in the golf
association are alarmed over
the possibilities which arise
under such situations" Dey
said.
1--WE are presented with a
situation in which a golfer
might collect more money by
throwing a match than by
winning it. I don't say this will
happen. But it could. And it
is dangerous.
I'm baseball or boxing. if an
individual were found consort-
ing with known gamblers, he
would be Immediately banished
from the game. Yet we have
a case in Calcutta pools Of
players not only serving as
pawns but actually sharing the
profits of gambling receipts"

TRAILING THE TRoTTERs
Starting Cote Proves
Lifesover for Game

Post positions for the start
are drawn by the drivers in the
racing secretary's Office. so that
the post allotted in a given
race is a matter of luck. A
driver. however, may request
the outside post position. In
races where there are fields OF
more than eight horses, the
No. 8 post is behind the No. |,
in the so-called second tier of
horses.
The starter of the races, who
will be DR.. A. C. Goff at Rose
croft, a veteran at this job and
one of the most popular, COM
mands the attention of the
horses from the rear seat OF
his mobile starting gate.
DR.. Golf has been the starter
for four HambletonianS.
The starter gives directions
over a microphone and has
control of the horses from the
formation of the parade to the
post until he gives the word
go" The horses are brought
to the starting gate as near the
three-quarter pole as the track
will permit. AS soon as the
word go is given, the wings
OF the gate swing back and 1t
pulls away, leaving the horses
to battle it out. The starter
incidentally, controls the ac-
celeration of the gate from his
rear-seat position.
The Starting Rules
The starter cannot recall
a start after the word go" mas
been given, and any horse, re-
CARELESS of his position or IN
accident, is considered a starter
by the starting judge from the
time he enters his control. I'M
less he is dismissed.
It's the starters job to get
all the horses away in position
and one gait, but he cannot de.
clare a recall on account OF a
bad actor or a breaking horse
in the starting lineup. He can
sound a recall only if there is
interference: if a horse scores
ahead of the gate; if a morse
has broken equipment; II a
horse falls before the word
go" is given or in the event a
horse refuses to come To the
gate before the gate reaches
the 70 pole.
Drivers. too, must obey a set
Of rules at the start. They
may not delay it; they may not
come to the starting gate out
of position; interfere in any
way with another driver during
the start or rush ahead of the
inside or outside wing of the
gate.

Tenth Of q Series

lGVtU OF q 9GIiGS
From the first race in 1885 until
the early forties, all races
we're started by the old "Scor-
ing systems" Starters lined
horses across the track some
800 feet from the wire, scored
Them at speed, trying tc
get them in alignment with the
pole horse. Because of the
rivalry among horsemen, this
sometimes took on the appear
.aIlce Of a free-for-all.
Z The start of one Hambleto-
MAN, before the starting gate
Was installed, was delayed al
most an hour before the starter
sent the field away. Drivers
were trying to get every advan-
tage they could. In this case
They were attempting to wear
The favorite down, hoping that
she would break.
About Is years ago, the first
Ntep to improve starting came
when a snap barrier" was in
produced. About the same time
q counting starting system "
similar to that used on Eu-
topean tracks was imported.
These were decided improve
ments, but did not meet with
popular approval from the
drivers.

For harness racing to regain

fessful 1t was recognized that a
STARTING gate had to be worked

was a success in that it showed

QUESTIONS OF IMMUNITY
Police Ponder Protocol on Diplomats

, on the blue list covers members
of the diplomats household, all
members of the family, and
servants.
This is all explained in the
general order, in addition to
detailed explanations of the
degree and extent of immunity
granted to diplomatic missions
and international organiza-
tions.
Here, for instance, is what
the police are up against. as
outlined in a partial paragraph
dealing with foreign consular
officers.
Consuls are not diplomats,
the orders says. but they do
possess a certain representa-
tive character, and by virtue of
their official position are en-
titled to be treated with due
respect by officials"
Deputy Police Chief Howard
v. Covell, Capt. Fletcher, Capt.
Kennedy and the former COM
marder of the third precinct,
Inspector Otto P. Fuss. agree
that the some $500 members
of the diplomatic family are
not hard to deal with-and CO.

trouble arises.

Thomas c. Scalley handed out

This is the season for shop

He added that the Christmas

crime is extremely distressing
to merchants in the District"
The occasion for the Judge:
statement came when Edward
Burke, 81, of the 800 block oi

Of petty larceny.
According to police, Burke

In the eighth precinct, where
the two latest incidents of the
diplomatic problem occurred,
retiring Capt. Dan o. Fletcher
1 for years has handled the tick
lish cases with a flnesse that
has drawn praise from his
superiors.
1t was in his precinct that
21-year-old David ]. Hearne,
son of the Irish Ambassador,
had a series of brushes with
the law. Hearne has now been
sent back to Ireland after car
he was driving struck and killed
a woman pedestrian.
In the latest incident in that
precinct, the son of an official
Of the Iranian student mission
to the United States was al
legged to have slapped a 16-
year-old girl.
At first. police said he was
immune from prosecution be-
cause his name appeared on

State Department later said
that list contains the names of

Relocation
PIun to Get
Citizen Study

The controversial proposal
for a District bureau to find
housing for residents displaced
by city construction projects
today was taken under study
by the Urban Renewal Council.
The citizens advisory group
referred the question to a sub
committee headed by William
Dyer, and asked for a report
at the councils next meeting
January %.
The council acted after
members heard a report on
the proposed central relocation
service by Nathan Volkman, a
member of the District govern
ment's urban renewal Office.
Under the present setup, the
city's only relocation service is
provided by the Redevelopment
Land Agency, whose slum clear
ance projects have displaced
thousands of families. Sup
porters of a central relocation
bureau argue for this service
to families who must move out
to make way for such projects
as highway construction.
Information to these fam
lilies on available private and
public housing now is supplied
by a city interdepartmental
group.
A subcommittee of the
Urban Renewal Operation;
Committee, an organization o1
District officials, recently split
on the question of recommend
ing a central relocation service
The group urged the Commits
sioners to make a broad pol
