WINNINGS NOT REAL
Newspapers Responsible for
Smathers' Reputation.

DALLAS, Tex. Nov. THE life of
a race track plunger is profitable one
on paper, but a failure when the real
returns are counted, according to state
ments made by E. e. Smathers, the
double gated horse fancier and re-
puted plunger, who has posed before
the horse world this season through his
operations at trotting and running
tracks During his visit here on BUSH
ness other than turf or trotting affairs,
the New Yorker received report from
his private secretary which, according
to Mr.. Smathers, shows a deficit in his
alleged winnings at Norris park,
Gravesend, Brighton, Sheepshead Bay,
Readeville, Memphis and the Chicago
tracks of $1,000,100
"The report" said Smathers, ''is
based on alleged losses and winnings
as compiled from an account kept and
recorded from daily newspaper reports
IN Chicago and New York papers"
The weekly coups completed by the
Smathers following were numerous
and overbalanced the loses by the mill
lion mark named. "As matter of
fact" said Mr.. Smathers, speaking of
his operations in betting rings on trot-
ting and running tracks, "the largest
amount l won during the season on
any specified race was $4,000, which
represented a combined commission
sent in by myself, C. c.. Christie and
TWO other friends. We bet on Irene
Lindsey the other day she won at
Gravesend and had to lay the book
