By ED ROMAINE Canadian Press Staff Writer Vancouver, July 15--(CP)--Some competent observers and horsemen feel that the current 28-day racing ~~ meet at Vancouver's Lansdowne Park is the, death knell of the "sport of Kings" in British Colum- ==bia. A, sport writers charge that taxation is providing the 'coup d'etat." Ken (Vancouver Province) Mc- Connell writes: "There has been such a decline in the pari-mutuel handle each day that'it becomes in- creasingly evident the fans have snp desire to try '> defeat a 21-per- cent slash in every dollar they + wager." "= McConnell says that when the Dominion Government vacated the tax field, track operators believed that the five per cent would go back to the fans. "But," he adds, "the people--the ordinary Joes--were due for a rude shock. The Provincial Government --4ust added the five to seven per cent they already had and thus , grabbed 12 per cent of the daily take." » Last week the track set a new record in reverse as only $56,000 went through the mutuels. It was tho lowest handle recorded at the track. Racing Morgue Meanwhile Alf (Vancouver Sun) Cottell bemoans the fate of the B.C. Turf Club, who reigns at the track. "It's like a morgue compared to Calgary and Winnipeg meets. At this rate they will need a barrel of money behind them to keep going. A Parting Shot McConnell winds up: "When $150,000 is wagered during a day at the races, the actual amounts to a total of about $60,000. It is played through the machines aver and over again. With 21 per | cent coming out each time, it is easy to see how the fans wind up Harmony Team + Whips Columbus In Twp. Tussle In an East Whitby Township In- + termediate game, played last night at Columbus, Harmony Millionaires trounced Columbus 26-8. Hagmony Millionaires were in a hitting mood and they started right off the bat with a 3-¥un splurge. "They added another in the 3rd in- ning and three in the 4th then came through with five of the best in the 6th with Hodgson's triple as the feature blow. That made it 12- 0. and Columbus finally broke the goose-egg with a lone tally. In the 7th, Millionaires were sold short but the home club came up with a 4-run rally on some bad er- rors by Harmony. <n the 8th, Harmony lashed out with a 7-run splash and Columbus failed to get any. Again in the 9th, the Milionaires score a 7-run rally and the best Columbus could do ' was to get three runs back. . McCabe, Terwillegar, Brown, : Hodgson and Paysens all hit well 'for the winners while Holmes, Sa- : bin and Pascoe were best for Co- lumbus.

ALBERT STREET King Street Church won their second straight game from Albert Street Church last night at Alex- andra Park by the score of 30-5 to end the regular schedule of the Church League. The winners were very convine- ing and although pitcher Ted Mec- Laughlin was not as steady as he might have been in his mound work for the King Street crew, he did have a neat fielding team be- hind him, and this accomplished wonders, Johns did the slab work for the losers, and was nicked for runs in all frames but the fourth and sixth, when he did the masterful job of getting the enemy out with- out any runs crossing the plate. King Street scored two runs in the first, added five in the second and third, with a three-run rally in the fifth. They cashed five more runs in the top of the seventh, be- fore Albert Street rallied for their tallies. They came through with an equalizing five in the, last of the frame. King Street then added nine runs | in the eighth and a singleton in the ninth to make the final score 30-5.

International League Action Remove first-place Montreal and last-place Baltimore from the In- ternational League, and it would be a merry battle for the 1948 pennant. But as it is, six clubs are involved in a red-hot struggle for playoff places along with the Royals. Only 2% games separate Buffalo Bisons and Newark Bears, presently deadlocked for second place, and the seventh-place Rochester Red Wings. Montreal is 102 games in front, and Baltimore languishes in eighth place, 19% games off the! pace, Toronto visited Montreal Wednes- day night and manhandled the leaders 11-5, blasting Don New- combe from the box in 3 1/3 inn- ings. Jock Thompson went all the way on the mound for the Leafs. The victory, plus Newark's 13-9 triumph over Syracuse, boosted Tor- onto past the chiefs into fifth place, and only half a game back of Jersey City Giants, whose tilt with Balti- more was rained out. Rochester, meanwhile struggled 11 innings before coming through with a 7-6 decision over Buffalo. 1015 | Big League - Baseball Yesterday Cleveland Indians and Boston Braves, each striving to win ther first baseball pennant In years, open long road trips today. ' s the majors resumed activity after a three-day lull for the all- star game, a survey showed both the American and Nationa] league leaders have won more games on the road than at home, Invading Philadelphia for a twis light-night douhleheader with Connie Mack's, amazing athletics, Cleveland boasted a remarkable .758 percentage on foreign fields. The Indians have lost only eight games on the road while winning 25. At home they have split, winning 20 and losing 20. The Braves, starting their west- ern trip with a doubleheader at Chicago, have won 24 and lost 13 on the road. This is a .649 clip compared to the Braves' home mark 22-18 for .550. Cleveland, for the third time thi: season opened a crucial series wi Philadelphia with first place « stake, has lost two of its eight roau setbacks to the Mackmen. The. Indians, preparing for the series, defeated Brooklyn Dodgers 4-3 in an 11-inning exhibition game Wednesday night before 64,877 at the Cleveland Stadium. The crowd was treated to a bril- liant two-inning relief chore by Leroy (Satchel) paige, ageless ne- gro hurler recently signed by the tribe. Paige shuffled in from the Cleveland bullpen in the seventh, threw only 12 pitches, each of them with a corkscrew windup, = and struck out the side. He fanned Gil Hodges on four pitches, struck out Irv Palica with three curve balls and whiffed Bobby Brown on five | offerings, one 'a four ball. The ancient Alabaman retired three more hitters in order in the | eight to complete his labors for the | night.

As it turned oui, the North- mins'er crew won the game in the first inning wtien they scored four runs. They kept up the pace though! till the last inning, and by the time that had rolled around, the count was "rather" high, © Morey pitched the win for the Northminster crew, and looked good in registering it. He had 14 strike. outs and allowed but four hits to the losers for their two runs. Clarke did the chucking for the Salvation Army team, and was nicked in every inning for at least one hit, and usually a lot more. His main weakness though was in the bases-on-balls department. Nortéiminster- scored four runs in the first, second and seventh in- nings; two runs in the third and fifth; seven counters in the sixth and a lone tally in the fourth to make up their total. The Army counted their two in the last of the sixth frame. Big hitters for the Northminster crew were Hawkshaw, Matthews and Morey, while for the losers, Pollard and Myers were the stars, scoring the only runs on their side of the ledger.

Sports Roundup New York, July 15--(AP)--A great many words have been writ- ten about baseball's high school rule, the violations thereof and the efforts to draw up a collegiate counterpart. . . . Now comes a guy who speaks up for the poor pro- fessional baseball scout who has to compete with the collegiate talent- hunters. . . . This guy, and there's no indication that he does any scouting; protests: "A major lea- gue scout isn't permitted even to bid the time of day to a high school player. . . . His only approach to a potential star is by some remote manner, say taking the parents out to dinner. . . . College ivery hunters aren't handicapped by any such barriers. They move right into the lair of a high school athlete . . . . Coaches' after dinner speeches pro- vide a wonderful means to attain their objective. . . . Eager prepsters fight to shae the hand of the coach. Soon they are in a huddle and Jack the all-American boy, announces he is to enroll at Titanic tech. . . . Mind you, the coach not only gets the boys free, but a meal as well." Not The Same , When the United States Olympic team was getting ready to sail yes- terday, photographers cornered the university of California crew on the stern deck and took a lot of pic- tures. . . . Coach Ky Ebrizht, his knees creaking, finally arose from a cramped position, luoked around at his tail boys, mostly war veter- ans and remarked . . . "Well, boys, it wasn't like this the last time you sailed." End of The Line When Philadelphia played an ex- hibition game. in Wilmington, Del., the other day, someone reported to manager Ben Chapman that his athletes were passing the time pitching horseshoes . . . replied Ben: "That's the only thing they've thrown in two weeks that hasn't been hit back at them." Sports Shorts: - From Britain London, July 15--(CP)--What do secretaries and managers of Brit- ain's soccer teams do in the sum- mer? "They used to wrap wet towels around their heads and nibble as- pirins while they pondered next season's problems. Now the Foot- ball Association has arranged a summer school for them at Bisham Abbey, Buckinchamhire. - Subjects range from "accountancy and correspondence" to "company law." Football groundsmen will be going back to school too At St. Ives, Yorkshire, the F.A. has arranged a course for them to be run by the government's Board of Greenkeep~ ing Research. Also with an eye to next. season --although it likely won't be adopt- ed by then, if ever--the Scottish Football Association has forwarded to the international board a pro- pc.2d revicion in the rules govern- ing the shape of the penalty area. They suggest it "shall be formed by drawing a semi-circle into the field of play with a radius of 22 yards from tae point on the goal line in the centre of the goal." Present rules stipulate the pen- alty area®is marked by two lines 18 yards long starting a' right angles to the goal line 18 yards outside each goalpost and joined by a line parallel to the goal line. Ever tried playing polo rn a bi- cycle? It's a growing game in Britain and this year 32 teams from many parts of the country will contest a national championship at Mitcham, | Surrey--the "poor man's Hurling- ham." The fast and furious sport--they call it "bypole"--is played by teams of five, including one substitute, Players wear helmets, knee-pads and heavy gloves with uniforms similar to tracksuits. Standard equipment includes a stripped bicycle weighing about 28 pounds and worth about $40 and a wooden mallet with a 36-inch shaft. The game is divided into six chukkers of 15 minutes each. At the beginning of each period and after each goal is scored, for- wards race from their own goal- mouths to the centre o" the field to "hit off" the ball, a bamhoo-root af- fair renewed each chukker.

He was generally credited with being the first batsman equally adept at playing backward or forward, to any kind of bowling.
