LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-The
dusty, sun-baked Del Mar Turf
Club offers a nine-race program
of q Saturday afternoon. when
many Of Hollywood's big shots
can be seen sitting in the Turf
Club Enclosure with a doll. q

mutuel tickets. A greenhorn
from the East can cape at movie
personages Of all kinds and de-

is introduced from the winners

crowd, hands q piece of silver

smilingly poses for photographer
and mumbles under his breath
about the losing nag he bet on
But not all Of the millionaires
and stars sit in the Turf Club
One well-heeled ace sits on 8
horse and rides around the
track frequently during the
afternoon. and every now anc
then he arrives In the winners
circle and has his picture taken
That would be Johnny Long
den. the wealthy jockey who
works as hard at his dangerous
trade as the greenest bug-rider
but with much more success
He rode in eight of the nine
races the day we saw him, win
ming two. finishing second twice
and running out of the money
four times.
What makes Johnny keep or
riding is the $4,000 question
but there's q hint that 1855 may
be his last year in the stirrups
He's battling weight, the even
tual conqueror of almost all
riders, and some Of those close
to him feel that sooner or later
he must capitulate and hang Ut
his tack.
HEN
Several months ago, at Golden
Gate Fields, Johnny's horse
bolted and threw him during
the post parade, Longden land

Only the quick action Of Jockey
Ray York. who Jumped of his
own mount and held LOngder's
horse steady until Johnny could
be dragged to safety. saved him
from almost certain death.
Only q few weeks ago, Long
den's foot slipped out Of the
stirrup during a race at Holly

knows the true answer but
Johnny, and he's not talking.

to the steam reducing box.

he battles to shed three and -four

as many mounts as he cares tc

When does he intend to quit?

with a smile.
Some think he wants to match
the record Of Britain's most IA

yoL had had the foresight 10

GIN. Even if you'd paid around
SIT a share. near the top for
1945, you would have a fat profit
now. Here's what has happened
since:
$1T,S50 Gain
The 100 shares for which you
paid $7700 were split two-for-
one in 1850. Today you would
have 200 shares selling at $127.75
apiece for a total of $25,550
Your profit would be $17,850.
You'd have done a lot better
of course, to have bought GIN al
the very bottom of the crash
that started in 1929.
That long decline took GIN
down to $7.62 a share in 1882
One hundred shares purchased
for $762 would now be 200 shares
worth a total of $25,550. The
profit in this case: $24,788.
Why so many splits? The rea.
