Eighth
Clubs Gain

Eighth District delegates to the
annual convention Of the Young
Democratic Clubs of Virginia in
Richmond, which concluded a
stormy session Saturday night,
were exultant today over victories
won for the district.
Alvin L. Fitzhugh of Arlington,
was named a State vice-president;
James King. chairman of the
Eighth District, was chosen
permanent chairman of the con-
vention and j. Ray Larcombe Of
Warrenton, became a member of
the State executive committee by
virtue of his election to the Eighth
District Craftsmanship to succeed
King.
The district was sharply divided
on the election of the State pres
ident. Alexandria led the revolt
when it threw its support to John
Tabb Duval of Gloucester, who
was defeated by Robert Lane
Anderson Of Smyth county, pub
Usher of three newspapers in the
Ninth District
Staid Alexandrians objected to
Anderson because one of his news
papers is a Republican organ.

Totalizat0r Pays Tracks.
Statistics recently released show
that Pimlico handled more money
through its totalizator than anv of
the competing Maryland mile ovals
that still sell the aready-printed
pasteboards. And Pimlico's margin
is considerable.
Bowie, Havre de Grace and Laurel
one hears, are giving plenty of con-
sideration these days to installing
the tote betting machines to re-
place the system now in use.
Pimlico is the only major track
In the Old 1.-The State affordinp its
customers the tote In fact, the
old Civil War track was the first in
the East to install the machine.
There is a theory afoot that
some of the slump in the
mutuel turnover at the other
tracks can be accounted for
by the fact they don't. provide
the "tote."
A friend of mine overheard A
conversation on the subject a few
days ago at Bowie. It seems many
people believe that certain employees
in the mutuel department help
themselves to a few tickets on the
winner of a race after that race is
over. They pointed out to each
other that this condition could not
exist with totalizator because the
machines are locked from the
judges stand the instant the horses
break and that it is impossible for
any tickets to be printed afterward.
If many people swing to this be-
lief the other three Maryland mile
tracks will have to install the to-
talizator or suffer greatly through lost
handle. something they can
Ill afford to do. All major tracks
should have the totalizator. I am in
favor of the Maryland Racing Com
ordering this to be done for
next years racing. !
