A Jacksonville (FlaO reader
asks if there isn't some way to
stop "build-upS" in mutuelS. None
has yet been devised though much
thought and study have been de-
voted to the problem.
However, build-upS seldom hurt
any playerS-beyond ruffling their
dispositions at times. Take the
recent show pool .build-up on the
Move Faster race at Tropical
Park in Miami. Who could be
hurt by it, except the handbook
les? And the latter have many
and devious ways of protecting
themselves.
If you played Move Faster to
show, no harm was done to you
by the build-up. You lost your
money, so what difference did the
odds make? And if you don't
care for cinch bets to show, like
Move Faster, and went looking
about for a fairish-priced horse to
be in the money, you were likely
to benefit by getting an outland-
iSh price for your money-'twaS
simply up to you to pick a horse
able to finish among the first
three.
The wrong" angle to the Move
Faster build-up, insofar as the
general public was concerned, lay
in why was Move Faster used as
the medium?" Eighty-five Of every
hundred dollars wagered ito
show on the race went in on
Move Faster. And the players of
most of the $4,000 bet on him
felt positive he would not be in
the money-though he looked a
certainty to win.
Time to Step In
Why were those big players
"positive?" That is just where
the stewards should have stepped
in before the race. If they
deemed it advisable, they should
not have hesitated to declare all
bets off, scratch Move Faster,

CURLEY SURE
ROOSEVELT
Will WIN

Gov. James M. Curley, Of Mas
Sachusetts, yesterday told PreSi
dent Roosevelt what's what in the
political situation. After his visit
to the White House, the ruddy
faced Governor said:
''I told the President the re-
suits Of the New Hampshire pri-
mary show cOnclusively that
the ordinary citizen, who hasn't
got much money or technical
knowledge, is better Informed
about the Objectives Of the New
Deal than men Of exceptional
education, attainments and
great wealth.
"Our opponents will find out
you can't get anywhere talking
to the voters about balancing
the budget when they are In
need.
"HOw the hell are you going
to balance the budget when
you've got IA million people
Starving?"
1T looks TO me as II hOOse-
welt will win by almost as large
. vote as he got In 1882"
AS to his own political for
tunes, Curiey, who has announced
his candidacy for the Senate
was equally optimistic. Asked
whether Mayor Mansfield, Of
Boston, might come out against
him, the Governor said:
"WhO Is he? ! never heard
of him."
