MOST FILM PEOPLE ARE FIGHT FILBERTS
Owner BarOni
Goes to Front
for Top Row
Santa Anita Winner Offers
to Bet Big Sum on
Match Race.
BY ALEXANDER KAHN
United Press Stan Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Feb. ga. A
Baroni believes his tiny horse, Top
Row, is the best thoroughbred in
America and is willing to bet $780,
900, he said today, that the son of
Peanuts can beat any horse that
ran in the Santa Anita Handicap in
a match race.
Aroused by protests over Top
Rows foul" tactics, the Reno
horseman challenged any of the IA
horses that ran against his entry in
the 100000 added event to match
race for a $4,000 side bet.
MY horse won and the stewards
ruled he won fairly" Baroni
snapped. IF any of the other own
ers think their horses are better, let
them take up my offer, provided
the horses carry the same weights
and under the same track con-
ditions."
Carreaud Protests
Top Rows victory had been pro-
tested especially by F. A. Carreaud,
owner of Time Supply, which fin
ished second in the race. Carreauct
maintained that Top Row should
have been disqualified for cutting
in front of Time Supply as the two
staged a fast stretch battle in the
mile and quarter race.
"All 1 ask is two weeks for the
cuts on Top Rows leg to heal
Baroni, known as "the Duke of
Reno" said. "It was a rough race
and Top Row suffered as much
from rough riding as did any Of
the others. He was carried wide
at the head of the stretch and was
cut down somewhere in the turn,
but had enough fight to go on and
win the race"
Discovery Included
Baroni said his offer to wage
$4,000 was not gesture and that
he would deposit a certified check
for the sum as soon as any owner
put up an equal amount. He said
his offer included Discovery, Rose
mont, Azucar or any of the others
that ran in the race.
The track would have to be no
slower than last Saturdays at Santa
Anita and the weights and distance
must be the same. Those are my
only conditions"
Carreaud could not be contacted
Immediately. Baroni had planned
to ship Top Row TO Tanforan track,
near San Francisco, following the
close of the Santa Anita season this
Saturday.
Left Leg Cut
The Reno sportsman said that
John w. Marchbank, owner of the
San Francisco track, probably would
be willing to add a stable purse
in addition to the side bets if the
race were staged there.
An examination of the cuts on
Top Rows left hind leg showed
that a flying 'hoof had severed the
sheath of the tendon but had not
cut the cord No infection was
found by veterinarians who are
treating the injury and they expect
ed it to heal quickly.

most invariably sold out. What
seats the screen stars don't take,
the legionnaires and their kin do.
The latter rate reduced prices.
Apparently it doesn't make any
difference who fights. Ike and Mike
would play to as big gate as Joe
Louis and Jim Braddock. Come to
think of it, Joe Louis might not be
permitted to fight Jim Braddock at
the Legion's club. No Negro fighter
has ever appeared here.
The Legion won't admit ban ex-
lists against Negro fighters, but the
fact remains none has ever fought
under its auspices in Hollywood,
whereas in Los Angeles proper,
four miles distant, no such restric-
lions, implied or otherwise, are in
force. AS a matter of fact Louis
knocked out Lee Ramage in Los
Angeles in two rounds and was
widely acclaimed.
But for the purposes of the mo-
ment that is neither here nor there.
Week after week the arena puts
on some sort of show and always
The place is a sell-out or very close
ITO it. To get in you must fight your
way through two lines of autograph
fiends, mostly youngsters. This is
discouraging. Supposedly the hope
of the country lies in the youngsters.
Best at Moderate Prices
Though some fine fighters started
at the Legion arena-Ace Hudklns,
the human buzzsaw was one-the
shows are as rule not exceptional,
except by accident. There can be
no serious complaint about this.
The admissions are so scaled that
$4,000 is tops for sellout.
The policy of the arena is to give
the customers the best available at
moderate prices.
The show 1 saw was in tone with
the average presentation at st.
Nick's in New York. The windup
featured Art Sykes and Jack Roper
two heavyweights. 1t was bloody,
vigorous and violent enough. At
one stage, AL Jolson jumped from
his chair and protested against
what must have seemed to be low
blow. That's the actor in him."
explained the gentleman who had
accompanied me.
Many Are Demonstrative
Perhaps it was. At any rate no
body else in the place seemed dis
turbed about it. The implication
that the screen stars keep up their
acting at the ringside may be UNI
fair. There are a lot of demon
strative fight fans. Jimmy Walker

THE Tigers said Doyle, twill be
heavy favorties to win their third
straight pennant. The Boston Red
Sox should be second in the bet
ting unless the Yankees make some
deals. In that case, there would be
very little difference between them
cleveland and Chicago will be
close together, with Washington
next. st. Louis will be seventh and
the Philadelphia Athletics far down
the list in eighth. The Browns may
move up in the betting as the sea-
son progresses. HornSby's team
might be the surprise of the league.
THE National race should be
close, with the Cubs, because they
won last year, slightly favored. The
Giants and Cardinals will be rated
about equal, with Pittsburgh, Brook
lyn and Cincinnati next in that or
der. There seems to be little choice
between the Dodgers and Pirates"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-11

Beach sand between high and low water marks does not belong to the owner with abutting property. The Supreme Court of Errors has just upheld ruling of the Superior Court in a recent injunc- ton granted by the latter tribunal. In short a concern which was doing busi- ness in the town of Madison has lost the right to remove sand from a beach that it owns between the lines indicated in the finding of the court. For many years the rights of riparian owners have been debated and questioned. This court rul- ing should settle for all time any such questions arising in the future. The state has always contended that removal of sand from beaches below high water mark was trespassing on state rights. Now the claim has been upheld and any future attempts to do this by private owners or concerns will result in action
 being taken to prevent such damage to the shore line. In the case mentioned above the defendant had maintained that the only right of the state superseding those of riparian owner was that of navigation. The court has ruled contrary.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-11

Several local men were gathered to- gether recently discussing the trend of current events. AS all such discussions have lately this one turned to the domes- tic troubles of Edward of England. There were those who thought him free to choose his own mode of living, while others maintained that he was born to the purple and should die with it. In short having been born an heir to the throne he should accept everything that goes with such a responsibility. But as an afterthought one man pointed out, quite accurately, too, how in the last few weeks news from England has pushed war news with all it's bloodshed far into the background.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-11
Lame-Duckers Gone

With the adjournment of the special session of the Legislature late Wednesday afternoon lame-duck members of this body ceased their activities. But they went out of office in blaze of glory. And the republican organization, what's left of it in Connecticut, needn't feel too hopeful for the future. The boys who won't be back in Hartford when the 1887 General Assembly convenes in January served notice on party leaders that once the halters are removed they'd do just about as they pleased.
 The unexpected vote Wednesday after noon in which the first housing authority measure proposed was defeated showed g.op. leaders that so far as the defeated members of the House were concerned they could look for their votes in vain. There's still work to be done by MT. Brad- ley and his aides who hope to knit the remaining republican members of the Legislature into strong minority that will battle the democrats to fare-thee- well. And when you come right down to it, the republicans who opposed the measure were every bit as smart as the democrats and others who voted over- wheimingly for it.
 Large cities can set up housing author ities now, but it's pretty doubtful if any one outside of Bridgeport will take ad- vantage of the opportunity That city has had slum clearance plans for some time and with the added attraction of secur- ing $3,000,000 in federal funds to start the project off, has been hot on the trail of the enabling state legislation. It would have been bitter pill for Mayor McLevy and his socialist aides to swal- low had the Legislature tossed the hous- ing authority out the window. The state will have to watch Bridgeport now to see if the thing can work out.
