TROUBLE in SIGHT
FOR JUAREZ RACING
Carranza Government Has De-
cided to Suppress Betting
on Horses

WASHINGTON March n. Seuor
Eliseo Nrrcdondo confidential agent in
Washington of the Carran2a Government,
announces that he has been advised from
Ciudad de Juarcz, the principal border
crossing into Chihuahua state. that the
Carran2n Government, in de faCto con-
trol Of Chihuahua, has decided to sup
press gambling throughout that state,
particularly on horse racing" and that
an effort to stamp out abuse of alco-
holic stimulants" will go hand in hand
with the ban on racing.
If this threat is literally carried out by
the Carranzistas, horse racing in JuareI
will be stopped Immediately.
This is the second time this winter that
the CarranHistas have threatened to stop
racing at Juarcz. Last November Senior
Arrcdondo received a telegram from Mex
leo city announcing the intention of the
CarranZistas to call a halt on racing at
Juarez and Tia Juana.
At that time the threat did not ma
tcrialize because the Carranzistas were
not then in control of Juarez or Tia
Tuana, and 80 long as the Nillistas con-
trolled those places the Carranzistas were
unable TO interfere. But since the Car
ranzistas are now in control at Juarez
the threats now madc--if sincere--will he
