racetracks will not reopen unless their
legal right to do so is clearly estab-
lished, Notwithstanding the recent de-
cision OF the Supreme Court in bet
ting case. In the opinion of the SUI
preme Court the law of Missouri was
evaded but not violated when wagers
were telephoned from Elm Ridge track
for registration in Kansas City, Kan,
and it is regarded as q certainty that
the Legislature which is to convene on
January 2, will be asked by Governor
Folk to so amend the law as to make
this or any other form of evasion inn
possible. The outlook for racing in
Missouri is not whit brighter than it
was prior to the decision.

Buchanan to ride at Ascot Park He
will not make any official ruling against

coming language to Starter Hoffman

An order has been issued at Ascot

OF the ia races that have been de-
cided at Emeryville since the opening

and 33 by outsiders. This gives a win
ming favorite percentage of 43-an ex-
ceptionally favorable record. Second
choices have won % per cent OF the
races, which Is another remarkable
showing. The hackers of short-p priced
horses have little cause for complaint
on the score Of horses running to form,
a condition for which the vigilance of
the track management must be given
some of the credit During the past
week 20 of the SO races were won by
favorites. In view of the above sta

bookmakers are big losers on the sea-
