Saratoga Opens
For 18th Race

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
July 30. tUP)-Sleepy little Sara
toga abruptly awoke from eleven
months of Information today to
welcome some $4,000 solvent tour
lists to the 18th opening of the old
est and most glamorous race meet

Streets of the tiny upstate vii

booths which hac pushed the book
bookieS out forever
The mutuels were practically the
only new sights in a town which
has existed for one month of rae
ing a year since the days of the
Civil War.
The only legal gambling at Sara
toga this year will be held at the
track itself through the hundreds
of mutuel windows. This fact stir
red much argument. The track
operators claim the machines will
bring them the same success that
has favored Belmont Empire City,
Aqueduct and Jamaica in the
metropolitan area. Skeptics argued
however. that mutuels are aimed
at two-dollar bettors-and that this
small fry can't afford Saratoga's
tariff.

Any efforts to make it anything else

Now, as for honesty. Let rs con-
slider Macmillan Adelbert Baer. He
likes dollar Just as much as you
do. He undoubtedly is as vain as
you are and as rampant with con-
ceit. He has baby and wife
to support and to hear him tell
it he is forced to support them in
style in which neither of them
ever was accustomed. But he knows
where to draw the line. And it is
no color line when he said he
wouldn't fight Joe Louis.
Two weeks after he fought Louis
the first time, Max and I had
dinner together. He frankly ad-
mitted Louis never did knock him
out But he was honest enought to
admit that the reason the knockout
never came was that he quit before
the final blow was delivered.
Nobody is going to see me killed
for measly SIS seat" Baer said
as he rubbed a bruise Louis had
inflicted on his cheek. Il mixed
it with him once and he damn
near tore my head off"
That is honesty. There is nc
reason in the world that Baer, II
he were dishonest. couldn't make
at least $4,000 by taking on Louis
again and just falling with the
first punch. He wouldn't even have
to make it look good because Louis
already has made SO many fighters
look bad. 1t would be that easy.
That's all pals.
