PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FRAUDS IN POOL SELLING
Since pool selling seems to be inseparably con-
nected with the race course, those engaged In the
management of turf sports owe 1t to the public
upon whom they depend for patronage, that that
profitable branch Of industry shall be kept as free
from fraud as possible. 1t is to be hoped therefore
that the officers Of the National Jockey Club will

complaint on that score at their fall meeting this
week. 1t Is within the personal knowledge OF many
observers that large number OF the tickets sold i'm
The French or Paris mutual pools the occasion OF
some previous meetings were not recorded by the
register OF aggregate SaleS,the result being that
hoderS OF the winning numbers were defrauded OF
CONSIDERABLE sums OF money, and there are reasons

extensively practfced On the race courses OF the
country. or course no one pretendS that the mana

lhey are carried on with the conniyanc or knowl-
eige OF the leSSeeS OF the right to sell pools or by
Ihelr dlSloneSi employees on their own account and
ior tnelr own benefit alone; but that the game has

Tue trouble TO closely watch and carefully compare
tne sales and the markings. Let there be no more

possible loss. there can be excuse for downright
stealing Oh the plea Of covering unsafe risks or bad
debts: 1t may be that there will be no ground for
complaint this year, and il is TO be hoped there will

managers OF the association to keep sharp lookout
ABOUT the booths to see what is going on and now
things are being conducted. The fact that such a
