Terry McGovern can do no more betting
| at the local racetraCks. This decision was
arrived at by the managers OF the Metro
| politan Turf Association yesterday because
Of his irresponsible behavior I'm the ring for
/ the past few days, and also because Of his row
with Bookmhker Phil Howell over n bet on
Toi san. who won on Wednesday. The Nets
will refuse either markers or cash waCcrs
from the pugilist and II IA not improbable
that Terry will be requested by the Pinkertons
20 keep away from the raCctracks altogether,
a. there have been numerous complaints
as to his recent erratic behavior.
| But McGovern still insists that Bookmaker
! Howell will have to pay the Toi San bet.
! Howell said yesterday that there was no record
/ Of the bet on his sheets and that he told Mo-
/ Govern the bet was on" simply to get rid
! OF him. Friends Of McGovern say that II
Howell accepted the wager by word OF mouth
/ in the presence OF witnesses. even if il was
not placed on the sheet it should be paid.
, while friends OF Howell insist that as Nc
/ Govern had no account with the bOokmRker
and was acting IN "a generally irresponsible
manner the bookmaker was justified In not
taking him seriously. But non-pArtizans
were asking the question yesterday;
