sary for them to keep up with the
times.
Most of them ask for Yost grad
yates" he said with a slight broad
ening of the ever present smile And
l can't supply them, because every
Michigan man who wants to coach
has been snapped up. You will find
them all over the west and south
and their success last season spoke
well for them
doesn't this prove increasing in
/ terest? And the game will reach
greater development because in most
instances the schools are retaining
the men who coached last year, in
surfing a continuation of the same
system and necessarily a higher de-
gree of efficiency. l certainly expect
1905 to break records, not only for
the quality of foot ball shown, espe-
, cially in the south and west, but
also for the interest manifested by
the public in the work of the teams"

the pennies go toward keeping the
little tribe. 1t Is not unusual to SEE
four or five tots of a family in line.
The idea came to the veteran ma
chinist long ago. Then crowds used
to congregate around his door to
watch the furnace glow and the
sparks fly. They became so much a
part of his daily life that to keep
them coming he began giving them
pennies. He has given away about
$4,000.
Although there have been several
secretaries to give out the pennies
since the business grew so large Mr..
Codd had to attend to ii all the time,
the you" gsters never think the men
change their names and the present
dispenser for Mr.. Codd-George j.
Rocks called Joe and Harry, just
as his predecessors were.
Codd said: Il am glad TO be able
to give SO much happiness to the
little ones, and. while I'm no Rookie
Teller, still | hope my little charity
does something for those who need
it. It isn't meant exactly as a char
fly. The pennies are the youngsters
own to do with them as they please
and they generally do and he
laughed.

N CONVICTION, Ky, Sept. 2.-Lato-
MIA, the picturesque race track near
this city. for years the pride of true
lovers of horsefesh, where thorough
breds were raced for sport rather
than for profit has been turned into
great gambling machine frequented
for the most part by professional
race track followers.
The cosy club house, where in for
mer years the elite of Kentucky and
Cincinnati gathered to watch the
sport of kings" is now deserted ex-
cept for an occasional gathering Of
officials, horsemen and those who
are wringing every dollar possible
out Of this racing plant.
Latonia is a vast money maker be-
cause professional horsemen have
been driven out of Missouri, Tennes-
see, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois by
legislative enactments. For the first
time in a quarter of a century rae
ing has been stopped in Chicago and
st. Louis.
On the average 90 books are In the
betting ring every day. Each book

This makes q total of 100000

600. The daily income to the owners
is about $500, apportioned as follows:
Twenty bookmakers at 500 apiece,
$1,000; admissions paid at gate, $500;
privileges of making field" or 81
book, $3.50; bar privileges. $3.50; reve-
nue. from Western Union Telegraph
company for exclusive right to sell
race results to pool rooms through
out the country, $1,000; total, $500.
There are six races daily, the
purses in each being $500. The asso-
citation, however, calls the sixth race
an extra" event, and the cost of
the purse is put up by the bookmak-
erS, in addition to the 500 a day
privilege SO the association puts
out only $4,000 per day in purses.
The other expenses, which are prin-
cipally the salary Of the judges and
officials, who are usually directors
does not exceed an additional 500
per day. So the daily profits are
about s2500. Therefore, the 100-day
race meeting this year at Latonia
should net the owners clear profit
Of a quarter of a million.
At Latonia women bettors are an
important factor. In order to get as
many there as possible the owners
reduced the ladies" admission tickets
to so cents. Nearly all are heavy
bettors.
