The Western Union Company received the
business by virtue and under the legal re-

secured the privilege from Ed Corrigan, at
Churchill Downs Louisville, and will sup
ply pool rooms from that track also
Over 425 pool rooms in all parts Of the
country were given service today without

with 1t.
1t is thought the Metropolitan News

The news company employs correspond
