SPORTS GAMBLING
The possible infiltration of gam
bling operations into amateur and
professional sports will be the
subject of an inquiry to be con
lucted by a special committee, ap
sointed by Attorney General J.
Howard McGrath and including
representatives of racing, boxing,
professional baseball, college foot
ball, professional basketball, col
ege basketball and professional
football.
The chairman of the committee
s Francis T. Murray, director of
ithletics at the University of
Pennsylvania.
In connection with the an
nouncement, it is emphasized that
the inquiry should not be regard
?d as a “black eye” for sports.
Apparently, no accurate informa
tion on gambling activities is
available other than recent dis
'losures involving college basket
ball players in New York and the
Vf id west.
While the special committee
vill do little more than study the
situation and make recommenda
tions for legislation, if necessary,
t will have the power to focus
public attention on whatever it
reports. If the survey discloses
no need for remedial legislation,
the commitee will so decide and
ts findings, we think, will do
much to reassure those who are
nclined to believe that there is
rreater corruption in the sports
leld than recent disclosures re
pealed.

Comment
On Sports
BY ED. SIMS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 12.
—Some months ago we Mid that
the Chicago White Sox were the
team of the year in the Majors
even if the Sox didn’t win a pen
nant. That still goes but the Sox
may have to move over and share
billing with the New York Giants.
The Giants lost eleven straight
games early in the season and the
Dodgers pulled away in August
to 13 and a half lengths.
Even the most rabid Giant fan
counted the Giants just about out
of it. Yet, recently, the Giants
knocked the Dodgers off in two to
pull within five games of the lead
ers. They had brought them
selves that close on the wings of
a 16-game winning streak. But,
even now, no one knows if the
Giants can possibly turn the im
possible trick of catching the
Dodgers. And indeed the day aft
er the Giants had kayoed Brook
lyn for the second straight day,
they lost a game in the race by
dividing a doubleheader while the
Brooks swept two.
Whatever the final outcome is
in the National (this columnist
took the Giants back in February)
the New York club has moved farst
in the last two months. And Leo
Durocher can probably have his
job back next year at his own
price, or thereabouts. The thing
which probably did it was a fire
stemming from a burning desire
to win. That’s what makes great
ball players, like Cobb, Gehrig
and Ruth, great. They like to
win, but hate to lose even worse.
That’s why Durocher traded
some men and brought in others
when he rebuilt the Giant*. He
often says this or that player is
his type of ballplayer, meaning
they have fire, an intense devo
tion to winning. Paul Richards
me name way aoout njs base
ball. He hates losing next to
death. Not necessarily bad sports,
theae people just can’t stand los
ing. If the average fan were
choosing a manager, this is the
type he would choose. Joe Mc
Carthy had that almost fanatical
devotion to winning; he was the
type.
Durocher, of course, is the
type, and should be given credit
fdr his fine stretch drive. The old
St. Louis Cardinals used to stage
some grand stretch drives, in Sep
tember, that kept all the fans on
the edges of their seats until the
last games of the yea^ Duroch
er, an old Gas House ganger,
hopes to do the same thing this
month.
But whether he does it or not,
hi* try will do a lot for National
League baseball which was threat
ened with a runaway race just a
month ago. It is always better to
have a few teams, like the Red
Delighted with the public’s re
ception of “Samson and Delilah"
and of “David and Bathsheba,"
Cecil B. DeMille plans to make
the Book of Esther” as his next
picture. DeMille’s “King of
Kings” made in 1927, is still run
ning.
You’d never suspect it but new
comer Mari Blanchard, who re
cently was one of New York’s
top model of bathing suits and is
now one of Hollywood’s most
promising young starlets, was
crippled by polio when she was
nine years old. She was paralyzed
below the hips, in her right arm
and right side of her face. Her :
success in overcoming the disease
was due to her mother’s words,
“‘Never give in to polio.**
Red Skelton’s picture, radio and
television commitments may have j
to await his doctor’s okay, when
he returns from London. Red is
said to be tired out and may be
ordered to take a long rest before !
going back to work here.
Bing Crosby’s eldest son, and
current glamor boy, Gary, is plan
ning to enter Stamford University
this fall. He plans to finish
school before taking up any other
career—singing or acting.
That dance team—Margo and
Gower—who have flashed to the
big time through spectacular spe
cialties in “Show Boat,” won first
attention from the producers by
their version of the Charleston at
the Mocambo night club’s famous
Charleston contests a year ago.
Eddie Bracken’s willingness
help Preston Sturges out of a ■
financial hole” by doing a role
in “Room Service” at the Players
for free has certainly paid off.
Eddie’s now in a picture in Warn
ers and has been offered five more
—“Sad Sack,” “Paradise Island,”
“Size 12,” “The U. S. O. Story”
—and one with Director Buzz
Berkeley.
With seven pictures still unre
leased, Janet Leigh could, if she
wanted to, quit the screen for a
couple of years without finding .
herself any the less popular. She
has two unreleased pictures at
RKO, “Jet Pilot” and “Two Tick
ets to Broadway,” and five at her
home lot, MGM.
Having paid off his huge $12,
000,000 debt, David O. Selznick is
returning to production in Octo
ber with “My Counsin Rachel,” by
Daphne Du Maurier.
Seventeen years ago, Richard
Widmark worked on a cattle
ranch near Missoula, Mont. Re
cently, when Dick arrived there
Sox, Cleveland and New York—
in the American—scrapping for
the flag, than to have one domi
nating the entire league horizon,
like the old Yankees used to do
under McCarthy.
