No big time gambling in Lorain County say local sheriff
Lorain County sheriff Carl R. Finegan states there are no big-time gambling joints operating in the county. He notes a prior 1930s joint near the eastern edge closed quickly, and asserts local authorities would close any new large scale gambling site. Amateur boxing in the county is also described as lacking standout talent despite some hopeful fighters.
