State road commissions usually schedule major
repairs on all highways which lead to race tracks
to coincide with meet, to deter horseplayers bent
on making the daily double.
Race-track managements- now is q new
trend to alleviate hardships Of horseplayers-for
many years placed betting windows at the top Of
steep stairs and provided minimum Of chairs and
benches for the players to rest the most tired parts
Of their bodies Only recently, one nearby track
discovered water fountains were on the market,
and their installation was rightly hailed in the
public prints.
All Of this will be of no news to the regular
horseplayers, who are primarily concerned with
systems Of handicapping or other methods Of pro-
ducing the seemingly mattainable winner.
The usual procedure is to peruse the past per-
Torrance sheets with diligence for an hour or so
and with that information mentally digested, to
seek out "information"-that is tips, stories from
brothers-in-law Of jockeys or uncles Of trainers,
any crumb that might tip the balance In favor Of
a certain horse

TVHE THEORY that rugged Americans. Of the
Il pioneer stock which blazed trails and drove
Conestoga wagons through unknown country, are
now extinct Is inexcusably erroneous.
Refutation Of this misled opinion is forciby
demonstrated whenever it Is limited that some red
coated individual at race track is about to sound
few notes on a bugle to cali dozen thor
oughbreds, who wear jockeys and numbers, to
participate in contest of reaching given point
first
Foregathered viii be preoccupied mob Of
10000 or more, undismayed by prevailing snow
rain, hail, fog, biting cold, whiting heat hurricane
or Russian invasion reports, which is dominated
by one overwhelming desire-to pick winner.
To accomplish this intriguing end, horseplayers
show indestructible qualities.
Transportation to the various race tracks is
poor. Railroads, being particularly aware Of
leather skinned horseplayers often arrange to rent
rolling stock from train museums for the duration
Of race meeting. although there has been some
Improvement In recent seasons.
