100,000 Daily Attendance Expected at Olympic Games

BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Preaa Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, July 23.—A sports minded city if ever there was one, Los Angeles started today upon a week of pre-battle exhilaration preparing for the opening of the 1932 Olympic games. Athletes of many countries filled Olympic village, swarmed over the practice fields, courses and tracks and flooded amusement places. And where there were no athletes there were officials, fans or just interested citizens.

Despite the fact he is carrying seventeen pounds more than any other entry, Equipoise was 3 to 5 favorite in the morning line to score his eighth straight triumph of the 1932 season. Defeated Gusto Two weeks ago Equipoise carried 126 pounds over the mile and a quarter and beat Gusto by four lengths in the Arlington Gold cup. Five days before that he carried 129 pounds and won a mile race handily, and in his first start in the west he carried 128 pounds and set a world's re.cord of 1:34 2-5 for the mile. Thus far weight, distance and competition all have been one and the same to this super-horse. Gusto, provided he starts, and Stepenfetchit were expected to provide Equipoise most of the competition. Gusto drew 116 pounds. Stepenfetchit’s impost was 108. twenty-six pounds less than Equipoise's package. Max Hirsch, trainer of Gusto, indicated he might not start the colt if the track was lightning fast. Coucci on “Step” Stepenfetchit’s stock was improved by the fact that Mrs. John Hay Whitney exercised her claim on Silvio Coucci, spectacular apprentice jockey, who rode Gusto to victory in the American Derby and Arlington classic. Gusto and Stepenfetchit each were quoted 8 to 1 in the morning line, making them joint second choice to Equipoise, which will be ridden by Sonny Workman. The other entries and probable odds follow: Tred Avon, 12 to 1; Pittsburgher, 20 to 1; White Clover 11, 10 to 1; Plucky Play, 20 to 1; Risque, 25 to 1, and Dr. Freeland, 50 to 1. Tred Avon. S. W. Labrot’s filly, which ran second to Equipoise in the Stars and Stripes handicap, and White Clover 11. a 6-year-old horse from France.. which won the Suburban Handicap in the east recently. were considered Equipoise's most dangerous contenders of the older horses.
