LATONIA MEETING REDUCED Schedule Cut Four Days With No Racing on June 14, 21, 28, and July 6. LATONIA, Ky., June 9. Annpuncement was made this afternoon by Col. M. J. Winn of Churchill Downs-Latonia, Inc., that Monday racing would be omitted from the scheduled Latonia program and also the last Tuesday of the current meeting. Therefore, there will be no racing at Latonia on the following dates: June 14, 21 and 28, and on July 6. Permission was granted by the Kentucky State Racing Commission for the taking of such action. Following is the statement issued by Colonel Winn: "The management of the Latonia track, with the consent and approval of the Kentucky Racing Commission, has found it needful to omit racing on the succeeding Mondays and the last Tuesday of the present meeting,. There will, therefore, be no racing at Latonia on June 14, 21 and 28, or on July 6. "For each of the last five seasons the Latonia track has suffered a large deficit, and with a similar loss inevitable at the present meeting, it would hot seem unreasonable that it should be permitted to reduce such losses as much as possible. This can be accomplished in part only by omitting one racing day each week, as indicated, giving a total of thirty-three days instead of thirty-seven.
