 Farrell stated that he saw two aogs in the caves in the rear of the neighborhood, but that he was not close enough to shoot at them with a .22 rifle which he carried. He did not state that the dogs were ary- thing out of the ordinary.
 AS yet there has been no reports of chickens killed in the area, it was revealed by supt. of Police Dan- iel J. Carson.
 Said a resident of the dastFtct-- who naturally must remain aFlony- mouS-"The reports are probably madder than the dogs"

records at Santa Anita. For in
stance, the 76,649 fans who turned
out for a card Memorial Day estab-
lished an attendance record. The
previous Santa Anita mark was
$4,000 set in 1910.
The throng that perspired freely,
but not comfortably, in sultry
weather during the running of the
revived "hundred-grander" last
week, totaled approximately 5000.
Nevertheless, these bettors were
quicker on the draw-that is, draw
ing money from their pockets.
Handicap day saw more than So
10000 bet on the eight-race card.
Winter Racing Attracts Elite.
The winter dates in normal times
bring out Eastern celebrities, social,
financial or both. They spend
money aplenty, on top of the cushion
provided by the two-dollar bettor.
Also with winter racing, when the
Eastern tracks are closed, Santa
Anita attracts it's full share of the
big name horses and top stables.
There is only one $100, ,000-added
handicap, three-fourths or more of
which goes to the winner. 1t is the

Feminine Turf Title
Busher's S Goal Today
In $4,000 Race
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
ARCADIA, Calf, July 4.-Rich-
est stakes for fillies and mares 3
years old and up in the history of
racing, today's $50, 0,000-added Santa
Margarita Handicap, gives Busher a
chance to establish herself as the
best feminine runner in the Nation.
Movieman Louis B. Mayors classy
filly, already winner OF 100000 as
a 3-year-old, blew the $4,000 Santa
Anita Derby last Saturday to By
meabond, losing by a half length.
Despite that beating, her first of
the year, she is forced to carry 126
pounds today, 10 above the scale,
whereas the game 5-year-old mare,
Happy Issue. packs the same
package.
Busher will be coupled with
Whirlabout, which was running we'll
a year ago but hasn't been any too
impressive at Santa Anita.
There are others in the starting
field of 10 that may have something
to say about the result. Jerry Lee,
a fine prospect as a 3-year-old two
seasons ago, has been improving fast
and could take it all. The same for
Gamma, which beat Whirlabout last
week.
Happy Issue, If in condition, most
likely would be the winner. She
beat topnotch horses last winter in
taking the X mile Gold Cup at
Hollywood Park. giving her owner,
"Frenchy" Pinon, $4,000. She has
not trained well this spring and has
yet to win a race.

has asked railroads for data on
shipment of horses to and from
tracks, adding that it was making
the investigation on its own initia-
tive and not at the request OF War
Mobilizer Fred Vinson.
ODT said it was concerned about
the tight transportation situation
which is expected to get worse as
the Army's redeployment program
is speeded up. The ban on horse
racing was removed by Vinson fol-
lowing We day and any new ban
would have to come from the latter's
office. ODT has no authority to
halt the sport but might put a
serious crimp in future plans by
barring railroad transportation OF
horses.
Robert Kelley, public relations

of all race horses last year involved

Charles w. Bidwill, owner of the
Chicago Cardinals of the National
Pro Football League, believes the
All-America Pro League will set
started, but
'It won't be so easy to keep going.
After all, it took Is years to estab-
lish the National Football League
on its present successful basis"
Bidwill said in an interview that
the other leagues, Red Oranges
and Chick Meehan's, already have
folded. THAT leaves only the ALL
America among the new ones, and I
think it eventually will open up.
But it will find the expense heavy,
because the league is so far flung,
with cities like Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Chicago, Miami and Buff
falo in it.
