TED CLARK NABS RACE Ex-Plater Beats Speedy Field 1 Jabot Finishes Second In Feature; Peradventure: Ann. res Sprint BY PAUL LOWRY The records still continue to fall at Santa Anita. Setting a new all-time record California betting mark, a crowd of 20,000 persons wh thrilled to close and exciting finishes poured $368,395 into the hungry jaws of the pari-mutuel machines yesterday. This dwarfs the handle of last Saturday, which in turn topped the State standard of established on the last day of the Bay Meadows meeting. The last two races of yesterday's program Intrigued the natives to the extent of over $50,000 for each event.

Th DICK DONALD HAS LARGE IDEAS Let it be said here and now that there has never been anything the matter with Dick Donalds ideas for giving the boys their money's worth. Dick's idea of a good show would be Max Baer vs. all the other heavyweights in a battle royal, three or four world's championships decided in the preliminaries and the Battle of the Maine, with sound effects as a curtain raiser. That's about the way Dick r- fr rx- I 1 I -si 1 1 r- -x 'l Vk "ill ir boys and girla took the strings off the bank roll as if it was the last race of the meeting. New records are in sight with half the meet still ahead.

it BROUGHT BIG-TIME BOXING HERE And, while the boxing world was peacefully slumbering here some seven or eight years ago, Dick burst into the picture with a blood curdling warwhoop and started staging world's championship matches and, apparently, making a lot of money out of 'em, He put on LaEarba vs. Genaro, iammy Baker vs. Hudkins, Tiger Flowers vs. a couple of guys, and generally had a pretty successful career up to the time when he tried to lure Dundee into the ring with Hudkins. That time Dick let his enthusiasm get the better of him with painful results.
