Stop Bookmaking.

Their than that has nothing TO do with
the meet. except that II has stipulat-
ed in the contract that the first shady
transaction will forfeit the lease.
The management of the meet agreed
to that and assured the local people
the whole thing is legitimate.
However, a number OF business
and professional men concluded that
the meet would not be a good thing
for Paducah and they advised with
County Attorney Barley and Sheriff
Ogilvie about stopping 1t. and notice
was served on the local association,
which brought out the information
that the association has nothing to do
with il further than to make sure OF
a square deal
The program of the races has never
been published. but II is understood
running races will be the principal
events. MIR. Barley said that a
state permit from the racing commits
sion is necessary for them and track
side bOokmaking is not allowed. He
has served notice that he will prose-
cute any violations of this law. He
also said that in some states. al
though the point has never becn made
in Kentucky. racing without a permit
is a nuisance and can be enjoined
He did not state what steps he will
take to stop the meet. Sheriff Ogil-
vie has announced that he is in
hearty accord with the county attor-
ney and he will have force of dep
uties on hand to arrest every violator
for the least offense.
1t is asserted that wires will con-
meet with pool rooms in the cities,
which will profit by the meet here.
