Or, put conversely, it decreed foam isn't beer and you can't popularity With the season about half gone for many of the major tracks, betting totals are high enough to indicate that just about every record will be broken in 1944. The present betting spree is unprecedented in American thoroughbred history. Just seven years ago the parimutuel tracks totaled a fancy $266,000,000. That amount was even greater than many an enthusiast had predicted, but the follow-up has been little short of phenomenal. Each year, sinoe 1938, the betting handle hat increased. la 1939 it mounted to and in 1940 climbed to 94M,Mt,tM.

If the second half of the campaign equals the first, the total would reach $416,077,246. Arid there is every reason to believe that betting won't fall off at any of the major tracks. During 1942 the average Detroit racing fan bet $26.96 every time he went to the Fair Grounds to aid in the improvement of the breed. In 1943 this average went up to $33.50. But in 1944 the average jumped to $39.04 and is still mounting. R H 0 1 1 S «4 a 1 ..............^......4 1 ^ » 1 ...--...r.....s 0 0 0 0 ........%....it,..,.4 '•. 0 0 J4 4 8 --s .

The Shamrocks haVe never been known as a slugging aggregation, but have provided some interesting entertainment in the way of tight defense and ability to take advantage of breaks. This year they are losing the cloee ones. A little survey in the county league shows that the teams who have outstanding pitchers are the teams on _ top. Woodntoek has Howard JudsonU United States today is $96,900,000 Algonquin has "Tubby" Simonini. Tike- either teasns in the league have capable (lingers, but none can be classed with the above mentioned. Joe "Mooee" Wagner, popular with players and fans alike, is doing a good job on the mound for the Shamrocks and could have won a couple of recent gamefe if his support had been up to par. But, Joe is a hitter by tirade and filling the pitching gap willingly because there isn't anybody else for the job. Was a time when the Shamrocks bad both Larkin and Harry Dowell for mound duty. Both were -plenty good. But, that's just dreaming of days "gone by. Jim is in military service and Harry has a job that wont permit time for Sunday baseball. Race track operators are quick to realize that such huge figures may in time work against them in -the form of increased taxes. They have attempted to solve this problem by making huge contributions to war relief agencies. Daring 1943 these war relief contributions totaled $8,618,489.86. According to John N. Sabo, Detroit turf editor, more than $160,000,000 is invested in race tracks, horses and big breeding farms.

But, baseball is doing a creditable job. Teams are hanging together with determination to carry on until our boys can yet back home.

In the last few games, those Johnsburg boys have been lay in* the wood on the old apple. And don't think they wont be swinging for keeps next Sunday. The Shamrocks are due for a win.

Horses which cost $1,500 two or three years ago now are unobtainable at twice that figure. "A good indication is the racer Pericles which William A. Hellis of New Orleans purchased IMT |66,000 as an untried yearling. The * Racing Sky* It wasn't so long ago that racing officials were having more, than their share of trouble. The sport was being condemned quite widely as a wartime luxury--something that could be eliminated from the national scene without loss to morale. The tracks were making big money. And they were a bit slow about contributing their share to war relief, organizations. The contributions made by the tracks have been impressive, but not out <5f proportion. Racing is big business--and extremely profitable. The sport not only can afford to be generous, it must be generous. It is too dependent upon the public's good will to be anything else. SPORTS SHORTS Cleveland sport fans have donated $15,000 to a fiuid to provide playing equipment and free medical care to sandlot ballplayers in the city. The president of the newly formed Pacific Coast professional football league, J. Rufus Klawans, got his start playing under A. A. Stagg at the University of Chicago in 1909.
