LEVY SELLS STOCK
IN JAMESTOWN TRACK
Genial Bob" Parts With In
terests to Smith & Perry,
Brokers.

Robert Levy, we'll known to turfmen
as "Gepial Bob, has sold out his in
terest in the Jamestown race track to
Smith s. Perry, Chicago bookrAakers,
who for many years have operated
syndicate rings on the southern and
Canadian circuits. Just how much
Levy received for his share in the track
was not made public, but men who pro-
fessed to know say that it was not a
penny less than $4,000.
The change in the control of the Nor
folk race track promises materially to
affect the status of racing in Virginia.
Since Levy took over the management
of the track it has been operated on
the open -betting-ring system-any
bookmaker in good standing could
draw IN for position and take a
chance for a business with his neigh.
Dor.
Sweet harmony did not prevail
among the stockholders of the James
town track during the fall meeting.
There was frequent friction between
the men in power.
Levy had big slice in the track,
but Mortimer Mahoney, the ringmaster
and prominent real estate owner and
politician of Virginia, also had a big
interest. These two men, if they com
bined their holdings, would have con-
troll of the jamestown track and could
dictate its policy in the future Re-
ports In turf circles were to the effect
that Mahoney and the other big stock
holders would consolidate their bold
ings next year. If this report is
lively time among the jamestown
track stockholders when the course
opens next April. Smith & Perry will
unquestionably try TO ruu the ring
and Mahoney will not give it up. 1t
will be fight between the syndicate
book and open ring interests.
Levy, known as the boy manager.
took hold of the Jamestown track three
years ago. He had conducted a few
bush race meetings in his home state
of Texas, but Jamestown was his first
big racing venture.
The jamestown track was built and
operated as one of the features of the
jamestown exposition. 1t proved a
failure during the year the fair was
held and was operated at loss during
succeeding meetings. Levy also lost
money during his first spring meeting,
but he did better in the fall, and
though big loser he was determined
to stick His genial personality won
him many friends, and in the following
meetings he made enough money more
than to make his books balance
During the early meetings he gave
away several days receipts to charity,
but it was noticeable last fall. that ne
gave charity the cold shoulder and ran
the track for himself, The reason ad.
vanced for this change from the old
order Of things was that Levy con-
templated opening a big amusement re.
sort in Houston, Tex. and needed every
dollar he could raise to finance his
new venture. The sale of his holdings
20 Smith G. Perry would tend TO
prove that Levy has made up his mind
to retire from the racing game and de-
vote his attention to his business in
