Niles Refutes
Statement Of
Boat Racers
Says He Was Not
Responsible For
Accident As Claimed
Citizen Staff Photo

Z EleYy Niles, u'gner and operator
OF the charter boat Lucky Strike,
hasNisSued a statement completely
refuting the Cupboard Clubs story
in yesterdays sport page. Says
Niles:
II do notfeel that I was respon-
sible for McKillip's misfortune.
Wake from the racing boats them
selves created more waves than
my boat and besides, the racers
had already completed tie turn
and were proceeding away from
me when | went on in to the dock.
while waiting for the boats to
make their turn, one cupboard
passed within ten feet of the
Lucky Strike. A defect in the
steering mechanism or even mis-
judgement on the part of the boat
operator could easily have caused
a crash that would sink my boat
OF Kill us passengers.
Il gave twenty dollars TO McKll-
lip and expressly told him that in
no way was he to consider it as
an admission of guilt on my part.
The boy is going around collecting
money to get another boat and |
felt sorry for him. I'm not against
cupboard operators but / do feel
that they should respect life and
property of non-participantS. After
all, racing is not, and never has
been, considered a safe PROPOSE
ton. Accidents can happen but
conditions should be such that only
those knowingly and willingly par
ticipating in the dangerous sport
are the ones who viii suffer should
something happen.

Doo Track Benefits ToW
Told By Sidney Aronovitz |
KWKenne| Club Secretary
viii Speak At
Rotary Lunch
In Track Debate

Sidney Aronovitz, secretary of
the Key West Kennel club, Spon-
sors of the $500, 900 dog track pro-
posed for Stock Island will present
the facts for the dog track at the
Rotary Club luncheon meeting
Thursday, he said today.
Aronovitz has been invited by the
civic club to debate with an anti
dog track speaker, so that Rotary
members can hear both sides.
II would be glad to address 9th
er local groups who want informa-
ton on the dog track. / believe
that those opposing it are perfectly
sincere but that they do not have
the facts. They are speaking in
generalities," Aronovitz said.
A Key Wester himself, AronovitE
said:
Il certainly would not be in
back of anything that | thought
would bring anything but good to
our community"
The young Miami lawyer said
that the track will bring economic
advantages to Key West. He spiked
the argument that il would bring
undesirable elements here saying:
"All stock holders in the dog
track must have a certificate from
the Sheriff and from the Chief of
Police in their place Of residence
attesting to their good character
and the fact that they have no
criminal record. This goes TO the
racing commission of the state. No
one would be embarrassed TO be
seen socially with any Of the peo-
pie connected with this track
Undesirable elements might ho-
yer around big city dog tracks, but
in the small cities, said Aronovitl,
tourists and residents comprise the
chief customers at the windows.
las far as taking business away
from local merchants, many Of
them will benefit immensely BY the
track And motel and hotel owners
here have told me that the track
will be a great asset in entertain
ment offerings for the city. Right
now, they say, Key West has few
tourist recreation facilities"
Aronovitz pointed out that the
people OF the State of Florida ex.
pressed their viii on dog racing
when their representatives made It
a legal form of gambling.
1.-The people have already de-
termined that dog racing Is not
evil. Legislation for the state has
gone into the question of good
and welfare as il concerns dog
racing" the lawyer said.
Aronovitz expressed surprise al
the opposition that has developed
against the track.
After all. " he said, the people
Of Monroe county voted to ratify a
racing permit here SIX or seven
years ago. They approved OF the
track then. Why this opposition has
come up don't know"
The Key West Kennel club tried
to use the franchise Of the promot-
ers who held the race track cleo
ton some years back, but found
that il had expired.
The other group were proIn0t.

time. The Commission investigates
