Show I RA IN N hi hiBY BY BERT E. E COLLYER Los Angeles Cal CaL March 21 WIth With I ho the opinion prevalent and presumably well weH founded that the thc courts will sustain sus sus- Lain tain the Kentucky racing commission commission com coin mission regarding its stand against the Latonia Jocko Jockey club i It would teem seem teems as s If Jt the end of racing In and about the he l course la ta in Iii sl sight ht tho the of 01 the courts ho bo favorable to tile the state racing cominis- cominis lon slon and the constitutionality of th the law aw be Lc upheld the Latonia racing association as- as will bo be liable to a 3 line of or from rom to 1000 per day for each eachOn On day races s were conducted last fall all afler atter af- af ter ler er tho ban was placed upon the course courso by the racing commission for violation of ot the tho bookmaking system of ot betting And from Com that fact much of ot the thc antagonism against tho the racing commission com corn mission It Is charged has boon been een due to the thc activity of the men in control of ot the destinies of ot the Latonia track I and ond it is said sald no mercy will vill be shown them thorn by the racin racing commission if It it comes contes down to a n point where that body boly Is empowered by the courts to enforce tre law in regard to betting On the other hand it is said should huh lh the racing commission lon be up- up held by the courts in iii its contention the o officials la Is of or the tho Latonia racing association fearing tearing the action of the commission in regard to a n fine would refuse to make application for dates for Tor a spring meeting and that rather that be humiliated by having to go goback goback back to the parl pari s system etem of betting betting bet bet- ting In addition to the payment of or an enormous fine lIne would refrain from Crom opening the track this spring Should the courts hold however that tho racing commission had no power to regulate tho the system of or betting to be employed on legalized tracks in the state stale the Latonia Jockey club would still be In a n position where it would have to apply to the commission commis commis- idea sion for Cor dates for a spring meeting and it is La likely that such application would be made following the decision of or the courts In view of the bitter war between bet tho the two bodies it might be well wen within within with with- in the province of ot a u conservative person person person per per- son to predict such an nn an application would meet with a prompt shelving Few there are however but believe I that the contention of ot the state racing commission will wUl be upheld and ana that It will be up to the of the Latonia racing association in tho the event of or an adverse decision to lo make malte proper restitution
