NEARLY FIFTY LAYERS OF ODDS

for decision this afternoon at the Benning
race track, the pleasant weather and good

other day of sunshine will see the track
in f1rst-class condition.
Nearly fifty bookmakers were scattered
over the betting ring under the grandstand
and on the lawn, and each man had about
all the business he could handle.
