tronv nwm THE SQUEEZE California, our step-sister state to the south. Is having more trouble than just slightly over what to do with Mr. Jerry Geis ler, Santa Anita, and the Cali fornia Horse Racing board. Latest is the legislature's at tempt to take over or give back "breakage" which is the odd pennies the customer does not let when he wins over the pari mutuels. Presently and for consider able yean past, tracks hire been in the habit of clinging stoutly te that four cents if you. as a player, should win some 12.34 on a two-buck wager. You. as a player, get only the S2.30. Thia is not strictly kosher to the customers, say man-, but ac cording to the best minds of the opposition, it spells the differ ence between profit and loss. Santa Anita, which has totaled a $7,000,000 profit since its opening, would boast only $200. 000 on the black ;ide, they say. That seems like a lot of pennies. Another issue involves that of control over racing dates. Mr. Geisler, chairman of the race board and a hard-hitting lad whose ends are clouded in politi cal and racing conjecture, is dead against the legislature tak ing over the granting of race dates. Says Mr. Geisler: "For the race board to grant dates to Santa Anita for next winter might be a waste of time, for Santa Anita is the dominating factor in a bill to put the granting of dates In the hands of the state legis lature. We'll Just hold off a while en those Santa Anita dates until we see what the legislature does. "The tracks in this state, dominated by both Santa An ita and Hollywood park, are organising an attack on the race board and are seeking to have the granting of dates taken from the board's juris diction and placed in the hands of the legislature. "They are seeking a monopoly on the racing situation. If they want to make this a monopoly it is all right with me. but I'll tell you right here if they continue with the greedy and graspy tac tics they will only destroy them selves. If they continue as they are going now I don't know but what it might be a good idea for the state to take over horse racing altogether. 'This board has always been fair in its dealings with all the tracks and every legal move we have taken to date has been after securing an opinion from the attorney general first." Whether Mr. Geisler is build ing himself up for a political fu ture w h i c h he denies or whether he is doing the job without the slightest regard for politics is puzzling trackmen and senators.

The Yanks now have lost five straight and 10 of their last 15, collected a grand total Odds Favor Montgomery Philadelphia Negro Ranks 10-13 Over Lew Jenkins NEW YORK. May 15 (. The 49th street betting bourse hung out its odds today on to-1 morrow night's Lew Jenkins- j Bob Montgomery fight, and the : more you studied them the less you knew about growing msiam Because, for some reason not i even your best friend could tell you the -fraternity -as the ; gambling guys like to be tabbed , established the Philadelphia I negro a 10 to 13 choice to finish ; on top in his ten-round over weight get-together with Texas Lew in Madison Square Garden. On the records, this is about as logical as taking the train to Tallahassee to get from Times Square to the Bronx. Appar ently the odds-makers haven't bothered to take the advice another New York fellow (remember-) once gave to "look at the record." At any rate, just consider these details: 1 Montgomery already has been beaten once by Jenkins. 2 He has never fought a main bout in the Garden, which gives even the best of 'em as much stage fright as your newest coun try cousin. 3 Jenkins still rates as the deadliest puncher the light weight division has seen in more than a decade. 4 Lew is still "the champ" and carries into the ring all the the assurance the title usually gives the man who owns one.
