AFTER LOCAL TRACK

Kehailan
BY Forest Lowry

There is every reason to believe that
Ed Corrigan is now making a final ef-
fort to round up his forces preparatory
to his great coup. Every step he takes
is carefully guarded.
Today he will be at Hot Springs,
where he will confer with the stock
holders of the Oak Lawn track In an
endeavor to swing it into line with the
new Louisville, Panama, Hawthorne
and proposed Los Angeles track.
Corrigan is hoping to pull Washing
ton park and Worth with Hawthorne
when his new organization is an
nounced ana to have Elm Ridge at
X Kansas City lined up with the others.
No Outlaw Movement
A man who Is close to the new move-
ment states that there will be no turf
war when Corrigan makes his move.
1t will simply be an announcement
that the American Jockey club has or
ganized with certain track Affiliations.
There will be no ban of outlawry
placed upon horses running on the riv-
al organizations course.
New Track Probable Here
1t is rumored that an attempt will
be made to secure ground for a new
track here as one of the circuit which
will fall in with the Corrigan forces.
1t was hinted around yesterday that
two of the leading real estate firms
of this city had already submitted sites
for a new race course. At the present
outlook there is every reason to be-
lieve that he Los Angeles Jockey
club will have an opposition track to
battle with next winter. Local capital
lists have interested themselves in the
scheme and are ready to back the en-
terprise to the limit.
The attempt of Corrigan to parallel
the Western Jockey club circuit and
go it one better has placed a new value
on the proposed local plant.
Money to Be Invested
A friend of Ed Corrigan's who is ret
icent to all professional interviews,
states that Corrigan and his followers
are prepared to invest more than half
n million for plant to work in opposi-
tion to the present Los Angeles Jockey
club.
Many horsemen now racing at Ascot
are dissatisfied with the local manage
ment and are ready to accept most
anything that will serve as a relief
from the present regime.
Much Dissatisfaction
'There is anything but satisfaction
with the present SYSTEM said a we'll
known turfman yesterday, land as long
as the present officials are allowed to
run things the game will suffer ac-
cordingly. Los Angeles bids fair to
centers in the country and with proper
handling would stand out by ITSELF
McGrathiana Prince has failed to
convince the local public that he is a
champion, yet he demonstrated that he
is one of the best in and cutters at the
Los Angeles race track.
ARABIC Badly Beaten
The fifth race yesterday was the
racing cards that has been offered this
season. On dope kansas" Prices
ARABIC loked like a cinch with only
Mart Gentry and Cerro Santa to beat,
but as on every other occasion when
he was at a short price, he was shy
of speed and finished a disgracefully
Leaten second, McGrathiana Prince
winning by two lengths from ARABIC
with Mart Gentry third.
Cerro Santa cut out the early pace
but soon succumbed to McGrathiana,
who was always within striking dis
tance. Kent on Cerro Santa made too
much use of his mount early and when
the pinch came was not there with
enough to stall off McGrathiana, ARABIC
and Mart Gentry
McGrathiana Prince was held in the
betting at to 1. ARABIC was always
favorite at to 5, while Mart Gentry
went cheap at to 1.
Immediately after the race F. T.
Wood, owner of Mart Gentry, claimed
ARABIC for $1325.
Robador at Long Odds
One of the surprises of the day came
in the second race when the winner
turned up in F. T. Woods Robador
at the juicy odds Of 40 to 1. Robador
formerly belonged to E. J. Baldwin
and was driven to sulky all last
year. Like DR.. Kyle's Telescope, win
ner at Jamaica this season at the odds
Of 100 to 1, Robador performed like
wild horse and scored a shocking, yet
popular, victory.
The second race on the card was for
maiden three year olds, purse event
over the Slauson course. OF the ten
originally carded to go only one Of. e.
Baird's Bailey lodged the issue. ].
