Johnston Hits Many SnagS
in Planning an EIimi-

BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

N YEW YORK, July 21.-
Jimmy Johnston is
" searching the woods for
\ those managers who
would fight for practically moth
ing Just to show their charges
in Madison Square Garden.
1t is a known fact that fighters who
made their regulations outside of this
city used to jump at an opportunity
to fight here for small percentage
of their usual earnings. Now it is all
changed.
Johnston would like to stage two
l5-round contests in the Garden
Bowl between Art Lasky, Steve Hamas,
Primo Camera and the winner of the
Walter Neusel-Max Schmeling fight.
Camera is nursing a broken ankle,
Lasky is sitting pretty in Los Angeles
and weighing an offer to repeat his
victory over King Levinsky in Chi
cago. Hamas wants six weeks in which
to prepare for a fight, and, as the
Neusel- -Schmeling fight does not take
place until the latter part of next
month in Germany Johnston, while
planning far ahead. may not be able
to bring the quartet together before
the snow flies.
Hamas can pick up a $4,000 guar
antee fighting King Levinsky in Chi
cago. That offer looks mighty big to
Hamas and his manager. Charley
Harvey. 1t may result in leaving john
ston with his star man out of the
tournament. Any series of matches
designed to furnish an opponent for
Max Baer would be meaningless with
out HamaS. The latter's clean-cut vic
tory over Schmeling made him the
leading contender for the crown.

Last of Betting Auctioneers
Eli Crutch's Hypnotic Chant Is Theme Song of
Wagering on Roaring Grand Circuit

Auction is a misleading name
for the trade piled by Eli Crutch.
Actually the auctions are simply a
betting pool for big bettors who
want reasonably constant odds.
1t has an advantage over the
mutuels in that the odds on any
given bet are not affected by sub
sequent wagering. All of the bet
ting in the auctions is on the re-
suit of the race. Heat betting is
handled exclusively through the
mutuels.
Eli Crutch has spent so years in
the racing game and the last 80 In
the auctions.
Crutch's favorite horse of all
time was the gallant Single q.
The biggest single ticket Eli ever
sold was at Lexington, Ky, 26 years
ago, when one buyer bet 81 900 on
Peter the Great against the field,
which sold for $4,000. Incidental
ly. Peter the Great lost the race.

sold totaled s1,100. 1t was in the
