Girl Fails in Suit
To Recoup Losses
From Race Track

NEW YORK, July 26 P.-
Paula Aiello's suit against a race
track to get back $425 in betting
losses has been thrown out OF
court, but her lawyer says she
will appeal.
In the suit. Miss Aiello, a 28-
year-old dress buyer. says she
went to the races for the first
time in her life at Aqueduct last
month and was carried away by
the betting spirit. She claimed
she lost $425.
To recover the money, Miss
Aiello cited an old State law that
permits a person to sue for losses
upon the event of any wager OF
bet prohibited" She filed the
suit against the Queens County
Jockey Club, which operated
the Aqueduct races at the time
she was there.
In dismiSsing the suit yester-
day. State Supreme Court JUS
tice Harold Stevens said the law
applies only to illegal betting
and cannot be invoked in this
case bacause pari-mutuel betting
at the track is legal.
He pointed out Aqueduct
merely handles the betting
money, extracts a cut for itself
then pays back the remainder
to winning bettors. AS Justice
Stevens put it:
"The transaction was between
the plaintiff and other partici-
pants in the pool. not the de-
fendant or the State Racing
Commission"

Snyder's other winners were

Meanwhile, Jockey Joe French,
who lost his five-pound ap-
prentice allowance two weeks
ago. is finding the going a bit
rocky.
French picked up his 23d win
ner with Gillie Young's Charlie
Ford in the seventh race to con-
tinue as leading jockey of the
meeting but was booed when
sixth with Mr.. Cliff, a 4-to-5
favorite, in the fifth race. He
also lost a chance to ride a
winner in the fourth when Wee

mile jaunt as the field was lining
up and was withdrawn by the

French has ridden only seven
winners since he lost his appren-

But despite that fact. he views
each green as if seeing it for the
first time, as if he suspected it
might have been resodded since
he had last played it. Someone
remarked that Middlecoff, COLTS
leading money winner, would be
even richer if he charged by the
hour.
Colts Man in Motion
On the other hand. Ford
wastes practically no time, on
tee, fairway or green. He is
known as COLTS "man-in-mo-
tion"--not f1dgety. but merely
one who wants to get his job
done as quickly as possible. He
reads the green's as though they
were short stories.
Ford hasn't won a tournament
since last year; Middlecoff has
captured five this season alone,
including the coveted Masters
and Western Open titles. The
winner will get $4,000. an auto
matte spot on the Ryder Cup
team and all the golden glamor
and lucrative endorsements that
go with the PGA championship.
The loser gets $4,000, period.
Ford and Middlecoff have met
once before in man-to-man COM
bat. That was in the 1851 Kan
sas City Open when they finished
in a three-way tie with Dave
Douglas for first place. Middle
coff won the playoff. shooting a

Douglas.
Middleton Gets Eagle
The Middlecoff Bolt match
yesterday drew most of the gall
lery Of $500, but they saw very
little good golf through the first
Is holes. After losing l-up leads,
Middlecoff finally went to lunch
with a one-hole advantage by
firing an eagle 3 on the 18th
hole. dropping a wood to within
four feet of the pin.
A pair of 20-foot puts on the
21st and 23rd sent Middlecoff
into a Sup lead, and Bolt-who
had gained the reputation as the
tournaments hatchet man by
knocking out Sammy Snead,
Jack Fleck and Lew Worsham-
never recovered.
Ford had eagle IS on two par-5
holes in his victory over May
field. He canned a 15-footer on
the 18th in the morning and
knocked two wood shots within
2 feet of the pin on the second
in the afternoon.
Mayfield reduced the margin
to two holes by winning the 9th
