FRANCE STRIVES TO
INCREASE BETTING
England Is Trying Hard to
Do Away With the
Practice

Special Cable to The Globe
PARIS, April S-The betting question
is just now before the French and Eng
an attempt is being made to suppress
betting; in France the desire is TO en-
courage and increase it. Last year there
transactions at the Pari-Mutuels and as
a percentage on all investments at the
Totallsatour goes to the government, the
minister of agriculture instituted an in
quiry as to the cause of this decrease
In the first place Ii is urged that there is
less money about; nevertheless, the re-
ly, 1t is pointed out that the rise in the
percentage from to per cent has dis
couraged speculation, and thirdly. IL is
suggested that more public money has
found its way to the bookmakers and
those agents who do business on the start
ing price system.
The real cause of the decrease undoubt-
edly is that last mentioned and the po-
force the existing law with regard TO
betting offices. The more people bet on
the French race course the better the
French government is pleased, and the
revenue derived from the mutuelS during
recent years has been many millions
Not only does the national eXcheQuer ben
ef1t, but local taxation is relieved. char
tiles are materially assisted and proper
ton of the money Is devoted to the en-
couragement Of breeders. 1t is nonsense

who desire to bet. Punters who do busi-
ness with bookmakers often pay more
than this, without perhaps knowing it.
Taking the starting price returns Of any
race meeting, In nearly every case II
will be found that at the prices recorded
the bookmakers are more than 10 per cent
"overround'' on the books. and many
cases can be instaneed where they are
betting to 20 per cent profit If one in

ference to the loser whether go out Of
the $500 is charged as commission. II
one wins he only gets winnings to $500
at odds which almost invariably suffer
from the cramp. The one great objection
to the Pari-Mutuel is that one cannot cal
culate what odds he is getting, until after
the event, but on the other hand there is
mo limit" and one often bets long odds
indeed, while ii is the only system Of
place betting that can show a profit.

DAYTON. O., April Sin loosely play
ed and tedious game today the st. Paul
American association team encompassed
the defeat of the local Central league
team by a score of 8 to 2. Aside from
the work of Catcher Frey, a new recruit,
who had just arrived and was entirely
without preliminary practice the veterans
made an excellent showing against the
visitors. The Saints played consistently
from the outstart and We're never at any
time threatened with defeat. Marcan at
second worked in harmony with Short
stop OBrien. and together they pulled
off several pretty plays.
Ferguson was first put into the pitch
erS box and for three innings allowed the
local batsmen to get but two hits. Fear
full, however of oVerworking him and
disabling him for the opening of the
American association season, Gene
Wright, who received his first professional
experience with the veterans in this city,
was substituted While Genes work for
the most part was good he developed in
dications that clearly showed that his arm
was not in the condition that it was when
he Was with Cleveland American league
team. During three innings the locals
obtained four hits off his delivery and he
was then relieved by the substitution of
Kilroy; who completed the game, giving
the locals but three more hits, none Of
which was for more than one base. The
fact that Gene Wright was with the team
created considerable enthusiasm, and
considering the fact that the weather
was~raw and disagreeable the attendance
surpassed expectations. Mcdonald, the
new second baseman for the veterans,
showed to excellent advantage, and with
todayS work as a criterion he will make
0ne of the strongest players in the local
team. David Pickett, the local left field
ar, also developed his oldtime cleverness.
The Saints will play here again tomorrow,
and with good weather a record breaking

RAID ON LEAGUE is

NEW YORK; April S.-Attorney Grif-
hth's project to raid the American
league by combination of minor leagues
appears TO be dying a natural death with
the near approach of the actual playing
season. With this danger practically re-
moved, the national agreement appears
likely TO hold throughout the season, and
for many years to come. the only opposi-
tion now in sight being that furnished by
q few outlaw leagues. only one of which
is strong enough to cause trouble. This
Is the Tr-State league, which has sew
eral strong teams. backed by consider
able money and ready to pay good prices
Tor good players. Because it's clubs have
decided not to respect the reserve rule
they are likely to cause more or less
trouble unless they can be induced to
subscribe to the national agreement
They will not, however, engage men un-
der contract to other leagues after the
season opens Several players who are
expected TO play on major league teams
have signed, it Is claimed, with tri-state
organizations.
Manager Hamilton Of Harrisburg. one
OF the strongest teams in the league,
claims that several of the players who

neider with the Boston Americans, but

enective method of furnishing players who
Jump their reserve. To suspend or out

measures that might prove a great OBJ
stacle, difficult to overcome
The Vermont league Is also outside of
the national agreement. and its terri
tory Is SO close to the New England and

Last season this league picked up sew
