KEENE'S C0L0RS FIRST
TN THE TIDAL STAKES
Test Case Will Be Made
Of the Betting Law
in Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, June 17.-George Erlich,
formerly manager Of the Delmar bet
ting ring and to-day sheet writer at
one of the books, was arrested during
the running of the sixth race this
afternoon. He was charged with vio-
lating the new law, which makes it a
felony of recording a bet on race
track. Six books were operating in
the ring at the time. but Erlich was
the only man arrested.
Erlichs arrest was prearranged,
Sheriff Herpet and the track manage-
ment having agreed upon making a test
case under the new law. The matter
will come up in the County Court.
Tuesday. when it is believed the case
will be dismissed for want of evidence.
Sheriff Herpet and his men went
around during the day trying to make
bets in the books. Most of these were
refused, but one from Deputy Clarence
Campbell was accepted. This will be
offered in evidence. Owing to the fact
that the registration of all bets was
done in code 1t is believed no tangible
evidence can be presented.
The racing was hardly formful. but
the 1900 spectators who paid 81 so each
to see the races were satisfied The
new system of betting caused some
trouble at first but later proved salts
factory
