AGAINST SHAM RACING.

7 H purpose of racing is to produce speedy and
useful animal. When the racetrack becomes
nothing but appliance of gambling, its ad-
junct the pooroom, its patrons dupes OF confidence
game the time has arrived for racing to be checked
1t becomes menace to the community, standing
temptation, a harvest for the gambler.
San Francisco has climate devoid of winter cold
There is possibility here OF conducting out
door sports while the tracks of the East are buried
in and the frost has penetrated the earth to the
depth OF many feet The lamentable result has been
that racing is here carried throughout the year
1t is no longer pastme; it becomes business, d-
rected by INSCRIPTIONS men, and depending for
patronage not upon people who afford it, but
upon dupes. Silly spectators take their wages and
bet them horses in the wild hope OF gaining. II
they have money of their they often take the
money of an employer. The end is disappointment
and disgrace ruined reputatons blighted homes.
More than domestic tragedy which has startled
San Francisco in recent years be traced directly
to the track Betting the ponies has been re-
sponsible for defalcation theft, suicide and murder
The lure held out is captivating and continuous
that the weak cannot resist it Players do not stop
to think that they going against game in which
the professional gambler who opposes them must
always win in the end If it were not so the profess
sional gambler would not be there to subject his
money to apparent risk. The bettor has no chance
He is handicapped by the methods of the professional
Races are so managed that the fairness of them is
plausible pretense The unsophistcated amateur
might we'll throw his money into the fire and ex-
pect to realize the ashes
The Call does not wish to be understood as oppos-
ing legitimate racing 1t does wish be understood
opposing the mock racing which goes on here
month after month, its only purpose to fleece the
public and its only conclusion the undoing and degra
dalton of those foolish enough to become its victims
