Detroit Thru as Big Race Center Say the Turfmen
Detroit is out of the running as a port for the light harness game after a defeated gambling bill. President H. K. Devereaux of the Grand Circuit says the big line must expand next season and Detroit should be forgotten. Peoria and Springfield in Illinois are willing to join, with Devereaux signaling possible scheduling in 1920. He stresses expansion but warns against an unmanageable number of racing dates. The Grand Circuit stewards will convene where pools cannot be handled. Philadelphia keeps close tabs on betting but oral play allows fans to wager, yet other cities could threaten Philadelphia’s berth if a strong alternative emerges.
