Thought. of Morrow
I recollect one afternoon at
Empire City when six favorites
went down. OBrien had wag.
cred on all Of them. He played
them to finish third, and not
one even got into the money.
A tough day, indeed.
Tim Mara, the sports pro-
moter, who handled all Of
O'Brien's gigantic commissions,
quite naturally felt very badly.
Standing alone at one end Of
the clubhouse, Mara tried to
console the plunger and said:
"a tough day. l never saw
luck run so bad"
Actually, O'Brien grinned and
admonished his commissioner:
Don't talk until tomorrow.
1t might be even worse"
After a hard day at the track,
the late John A. Drake and John
w. Gates, noted plungers, were
engaged in a big poker game
such as made famous places
like Canfield'S at Saratoga;
Days at Long Branch, and
Taggart's at French Lick, when
q cloak and suffer interrupted
the play.
"Care if I join your" he
asked.
"NOt at ALL" replied Gates.
"Give me a thousand dollars
worth Of chips" beloved the
newcomer, intent upon attract
ing attention to q display Of
great wealth.
Without looking up from his
cards, Gates said:
"Give the gentleman q blue
chip, jim"
Proof Missing
OF course the track has its
scandals, too, sharp practice
and underhand tactics. Unfor"
tunately, 1t isn't always possible
to legally prove the charges.
even when the facts are known.
The late Arnold Rothstein
was one the tongues of scan.
dal repeatedly involved. He
was pointed to as a "fixer" Of
races, he was credited with
winning hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars, but turf detectives
could never pin any crooked
details on him. No proof was
ever unearthed that implicated
him in these transactions
though his tremendous winnings
told a story Of their own.
The greatest coup credited to
him was put over in a three
horse race at Aqueduct. It is
said that he won $750,000 that
afternoon.
He had a horse Of his own,
named Billy Mclaughlin, in the
field of three starters. Billy
Mclaughlin was 1-to-5 shot.
The others were any price you
wanted to take against them.
Rothstein intimated that he
'liked" his horse. His betting
commissioners wagered several
thousand dollars. at the 1-to-5
price. Such a move naturally
convinced the big bettors, They
took the bands off the bankroll
and plunged on Billy McLaugh-
lin.
Operators Bet
Then Rothstein's outside OPP
orators bet on one of the other
horses. The more money bet on
Billy Mclaughlin. the higher
the price went on the outsider.
Rothstein is reported to have
gotten down $4,000 at IS to /.
The race was a close one-but
Billy Mclaughlin was beaten a

Proper care of the teeth is a two
Fold matter. Teeth ought to be ex-
amined regularly by a dentist and
his instructions followed. He will
tell you that food is the important
factor in preventing tooth decay.
The chief foods for teeth are the
so-called protective foods"-milk,
fruits and vegetables. Do not de-
prive a child of any of these if
you wish him to have sound, even
teeth.
A child should also be taught to
care for his own teeth. Brushing
the teeth and gums is an important
haolt, though we do not any long
81 believe that cleanliness alone will
prevent tooth decay. Nevertheless
1t IS as important as washing the
tace or hands and every child
should learn it early in life.
Dental carries, or decay of the
teeth, has been called the most
prevalent disease in America. 1t
is estimated that 80 to IS per cent
OF all children have it. Parents, by
proper care, can prevent much of it.
