FAVORS THE BOOKS
Kentucky Racing Public Dissat-

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LEXINGTON. KY, Oct. 13.-Members
of the Kentucky racing commission
have decided on a special meeting to
consider the establishment of book
making at the tracks in this state.
Dissatisfaction on the part of the rae
ing public over the pari mutuel sys-
tenn has caused the patronage of all
tracks to fall off. and ii is practically
certain that the books will be allowed
to cut in again.
Latonia's management, prompted by
Louis A. Celia, was openly defiant of
the state racing commission and an
nounced that books would be put on at
the coming meeting. This move is
likely to be made local this week.
