The Jockey club and nearby golf clubhouse alike present a dreary ap' pearance. Jobs Lo.st Closing of the resort affected di rectly the economic status of some 15,000 persona in the sprawling bor der town of Tijuana, two miles north of Agua Callente, which itself con sists solely of the resort. In addition to the hundreds of workers thrown immediately out of employment by the shutdown, almost every merchant in Tijuana lit aharp drop in business as tourist traffic across the border slumped Where thousands of persona formerly crossed every day from San Diego. only 14 mile away, and Los Angel es, a two-hour drive up the coast. now only Sundays and holidays seo, any appreciable Influx of visitors. Government relief projects in some measure have taken up the slack in tmployment. but cannot take care of all persona out of work.

Recently taxes on bars were Increased 50 per cent and all places where liqner sold ordered to -lose by 10 p. on week day and all day Sunday. The Agua Callente company ha been Involved In litigation with former workers almost constantly since the close. Worker charge they wen? not paid tho required advance salary when they were discharged. Club Changes Hands ' I Latest move In the somewhat tangled legal status of the plant waa rw purchase of the Jockey club by Mrs. Susnna Lucero Rcgnler, former Mexican landholder, who assert she once owned the land upon which Agus Callente is situated, Mr. Rcgnler bought the Jockey club at government auction In a ssie Intended to raise money to meet ha demands of discharged workers. She paid 15.000 of the reputed 1150,- 000 purchase price for the plant which originally cost more than 1 000.000. , Baron Long, Los Angelea , hotel owner and chief stockholder In Agua Cal ente, Is convinced Mrs. Renler'a title Is of doubtful legality and still considers himself the nominal head of the establishment. Mrs. Rcgnler, however, considers her title clear and has opened ne gotiations with Mexico City officials n an effort to bring about n agree ment whereby race meetings my be held.
