RICHARD BACKING DOG
 TRACK DOWN IN FLORIDA
Grc,hcGEI Facing Course at Miami to Be Built Fly
 January

Miamia, Fla, Oct. 12 (UP)-TeA Rickard, New York promoter, is taking flyer in greyhound racing at Miami this winter, according to George k. k. Carter. local bnsiness associate who IS proceeding with plans to construct dog track and exclusive club house on South Miami Beach.
 The track will be started shortly and completed before January 15. Tex is expected here soon to super wise operations.
 Carter said that Rickard would depend on gate admissions as the only source of revenue since the state prohibits the use of parimu- tuel wagering Carter said he was certain that Rickard does not plan to desert the fight promoting busi- ness merely because of the new ven- ture but would devote his attention this winter to the track.
 Greyhound racing under this plan in Miami was not a success last win ire. In 1926 three large tracks operated in the Miami district and great crowds thronged the grand stands nightly. When there was agitation for the abolition of racing a little more than a year ago, the dog tracks attempted to operate without the parimutuels and thin crowds compeIled them to close.
 Later in the year "coursing races" were introduced. having had suc- cessful inrtoductlon in Kansas and Arkansas. but Miamans and the thousands of winter visitors would not pay to see scores of rabbits slaughtered nightly and the blaze Of glory which attended the opening died down to a faint flicker when the "coursing races" closed in q storm of protest from humane agencies.
