WOMEN BARRED
CAN NOT ENTER BETTING RING

Statement MADE YESTERDAY
Secretary Lawrence the Authority-He
Has Booked Over 500 Entries FOR
the Coming Local Season-Now in
Ogden Looking for More-A Highly
Successful Meet Promised. Fb
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

San Francisco. April ga severe
blow at the woman in horse racing was
struck here yesterday when 1t was de-
C!ded that the fair sex in future will not
be allowed in the betting ring at the
Butte race track. Secretary Lawrence
is authority for the statement.
He came in the interest of the Butte
Racing Association to secure entries for
the spring meet in the Montana city. He
left the city last night for Ogden, where
he expects to obtain more stake entries.
Secretary Lawrence announced that
already he had secured about 500 en-
tries. He said the prospects for racing
in Butte We're of the first-class order.
Everything he said indicates that there
will be plenty of good clean sport with
a cream of contenders for honors
The decision prohibiting women from
trequenting the betting ring at the Butte
track will mean great deal to the fair
spectators on race horse form. 1t will
be something entirely new to them and
until they become accustomed to the
innovation can be expected to register
strong and vociferous kicks. They will
find. however. after they give the new
regime trial. that the scheme is not so
bad as will at first appear.
In the east women are not allowed to
enter the betting rings. They place their
bets through authorized prOxys desig-
mated by the bookmakers doing business
There the women make their selections
learn the odds on their choices and the
other entries, through the bookmakers
agents and then file their bets with the
agents. The agents then place the bets
ir the betting ring.
On the whole there is little disadvant.
age in the scheme. All that is neces-
sary is for the women to accustom them.
selves to the new scheme and then they
will find that it Is more Of pleasure te
remain seated in the grand stand an6
make their bet sthan it is to be jostle6
about in a crushing crowd in the betting
ring to get their money up on horse.
