After successfully fighting off several other aspirants, once nearly at the cost of his life, Crofton got tha coveted Job of ticket seller and stayed with the circus for a year. He Joined the Nary After that he took various Joba In department stores and alse-where, coming as far east as Chicago In his rovlngs, until war broke out tn 1J1T. On his brother's advice ha applied for enlistment In the navy and was put to work Installing machinery In tha famous ship Bear at Mare Island.

In It 10 Crofton returned to San Diego and got a job through Boose Beyers" dealing twenty- one at the old Sunset Inn at Tijuana. This waa the first real gambling experience he had, but when miners struck gold at To nopah and tha rush began Crof ton wsnt there and opened up a small gambling house. Too Inexperienced to bank tha games hlmsslf, ha hired a pro fesslonal and toon learned th ropes. Although that venture netted him only about $11,000, he had struck his metier and from then on his financial rise was meteoric He opened places successively at Mexlcall, Nogales and Naco, At Negales hs met Wirt O. Bowman and when, on returning to San Diego In 1115, he learned that Carl Wlthlngton, owner of border ccn cessions, had died, he urged Bow man to take over Wlthlngton's In terests.

Becoming a racing enthusiast, he acquired an Interest In the Foreign Club, Tijuana, with Bowman, which led to a directorship In the old Tijuana Jockey Club with James Coffroth and Baron Long Coffroth passed out of the picture with the building of the new track at Agua Callente which proved a brilliant success. $3 Limit at Tijuana During the winter season there are as high aa eighty-eight games going on In the casino during a single night Tha Tijuana place Is the least pretentious of the three places he runs and the limit there Is II number at roulette. At the Agua Callente casinos there is a limit of 110 a number. However there is a "gold room' at the main Agua Callente esslno where special games are held, when the limits are raised. It is at the casino In Agua Callente that Raoul Walsh, with the urging of Crofton, bought Qreyol from John A.

Coburn for 115,000, the hone that the next day won the Derby and a puree of 150,000 for his new owner. Once AI Jolson was sltttng with Crofton, when a f-lend on his wsy to the tables spoke to the black face comedian, "Jolson, you're In 50-50 with me on this game," Jol son nodded and forgot about It until a half hour later he was told that his Share In the loss waa 131, 000. Jolson la i. good lossr, says Crofton, but st that he turned a shade paler and hurried to the tables, watching the play. He must have brought luck, for they won back their losses and when they were each ahead they stopped.

Dating? th visa to fortune of James Nufent Crofton from the dayt he ran a poker and "craps" fame during the 1921 (old strike tn Tonopah, the J5-year-old part owner of the new race track end concession at Ajua Callente, who Is in New York lookltif for a real rsce horse, has averaged better than $1,000,000 a year. Crofton shares' with TVlrt O. Bowman snd Baron Lonf the rast proflte accruing from the new fi tin' a 7 19 JAMES NUGENT CROFTON 000,000 track and from the Callente hotel, dog track, bath house, golf course and two gambling casinos that make up the Agua Callente playground. He owns another casino at Ti juana and four miles from Agua Callente, on the American side, he haa a beautiful home a large ranch, where he and Mrs. Crofton run a stock farm and raise show horses.

That's their real business now, he saya, In New York Mr. and Mrs. Crofton are at the Hltx-Carlton. They will visit the varlotia race tracks for about a month and Crofton will icout around for a horse that's fit to enter next year In the big race at Agua Callente, a race that held out 114.0.000 tn stakes to the winners when It wsa run on March Zl this year. Crofton himself gives that small venture in Tonopab as his real start.

His life before that waa more or leaa haphazard. Born In Center-vllle, on January 28, he lived there ten years while his father ttruggled to make a living out of the combined Joba of pro prletor of the town's hotel, livery suble, ranch, post office and gen eral store. He moved with his family to The Dalles, a tough town of 4,500 Inhabitants and 26 saloons, where hie father bought an interest In a little hotel, the Umatilla house. Then one night, when he was 15 he ran away. To hear him talk about it, there In his room at the Kltz-Carlton, brings up no picture of a scared little boy slipping out of his father's house at night trying to keep back the tears as he set out for whatever fate might bring him in the wide world.

Rather It oonjurea the picture of a self-reliant youngster calmly and unhesitatingly walking from that -house, never looking back, dry- eyed and unperturbed at what lay before him. His first Job waa with pick and shovel, helping to build a railroad, but he soon left that to work his way to Los Angules where he answered a want ad for a bus boy In a restaurant, in those days "Jim my" Crofton thought a bus boy drove a truck but the restaurant proprietor pointed out to hira his mistake as well as the near-est way out. He did get a Job In a restaurant finally, however, and various other ones between Los Angeles and ban Diego until, wlion he waa twenty, he married Miss Vera Emrle at Iteno. The need for a steady income then assumed more Importance and Crofton got a Job with Bar-num and Palley's circus, which happened to be In town. For awhile he was one of three bug-lars that performed nightly but ei me abruptly to an end when his two partner faltered for a VrifST AGOUr Wfc NEW YORK.

May I (By the Associated Press). The stock ticker recorded fresh triumphs tor the beara beturday In a tumultous two-hour session that broke all volume records for a Saturday and that saw net declines of to 18 pulnte In scoi si of leading Issues. In general, the pattern of tiro market resembled Friday a. There was heavy liquidation at the opening as blocks of $,000 to 80,000 shares, representing a large bundia of overnight selling orders earns en the market. A ghost of a rally appearsd after the first outburst bad been assimilated, but then the market staggered downward under the burden of enoiher load of last minute sales.

Transactions In the final $0 mlnutee reached the anormotig total of 1,627, $00 shares, bringing the days buslnees to 4.H7,B"0 shares, the largest for a two-hour day In tha market's history. An hour and $6 minutes after the closing gong the ticker taps printed the last sale. The character of the selling likewise differed little from Friday's. It was a repetition of the story of weakened mar-Kin accounts, perslatent short selling by powerful operators and liquidation by pools whose holdings of stocks had been only moderately diminished since tha market reached its 1230 peak early In April, And ones more there was virtually no covering at the close. So much action was crowded Into tha short ipa''e of two hours that the movement seemed at times to bs assuming more substantial proportions than It actually attained.

The price Index for 90 storks lost 6 8 points, eia'tly tha extent of the Friday loss, and the Individual groups rails. Industrials and utilities recorded changea close'y approximating those of the previous session. As Is uual during violent movements In either direction, the market was filled with rumors. Prominent professional operators were reported to havs turned uncompromisingly bearish. Some circles profeesed to see a political maneuver In the market a action, -pointing out that the decline reached lt g'eatest violence Immediately after President Hoover's statement on business.
