Fact and Figures
Here are the figures: The Yan-

the parent organisation which
make* up all the'm^'or(ticks in •
this country. Most of these have:
completed their season, or have a '

tracks show attendance gains, 1
while w agering is up at 16 of j
them.
The 1953 season was the great- \
est on record, as 27,969.331 fans
turned, out; and produced a two-
billion-dollar pari-mutuel turn-
over for the first time. The total
wagered was $2,064,572,984, with
total revenue to the 25 racing
states being $138,604,146.
While the betting may not ap-
proach 1953 because of various
reasons, including a tighter dol-
lar, most tracks will settle on* the
continued gains in the gate.

CHICAGO (API—Gil Turner,
| lacking his one-time speed and
1 knockout punch, hopes today he is
| headed back to welterweight con-
j tention following one of the most
j savage fights of his career.

He weighed 153 to Andrews’
152.
Turner had Andrews staggering
' a half dozen times but failed to
i finish him off, and by the end both
j 23-year-old fighters were battered
I and groggy.
