KNOCKOUT BLOW IS
GIVEN COAST RACING
Governor Gillett of Califor.
MIA Signs Walker-Otis
Bill Yesterday.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 20.-Racing in
California was given it's knockout blow
yesterday when Governor Gillett af-
fixed his signature to the Walker Otis
bill which makes race track gambling
a felony punishable by Imprisonment
for a period of not less than thirty
days nor more than one year.
The governor had the bill in his pos
session nine days when he placed his
name on it, making 1t a law. His de-
lay in signing the measure had aroused
little hope in racing circles that he
would kill it by the pigeon hole meth
cd, that is, forget to sign 1t in ten days
as required by law.
Racing in this state will become il
legal sixty days from today The man.
agement of the EmeryvilIe track an
nounced today that it's meeting would
end May /, or thirty days before its
allotment of dates expired.
