BETTING PUBLIC
HELD THE BAG

The betting public seems to be the prin-
cipal sufferer under the decision of Justice
Stafford affecting the laying of wagers at
the Benning track Save for the fact that
the boOkies were unstooled and put in the
time between races wandering unhappily
around the betting ring. it wasn't easy to
tell from the look Of things that an anti
gambling decision had been promulgated
There were plenty OF '.Mets' around look
ing for individual wagers," and all the
regulars Of opening day were there with
rolls. The rest of the performance bor-
dered on the farce order.
Quite English. you know" said one
bookmaker who has spent considerable time
on the other side. Il always thought the
English method of laying wagers at the
tracks was about the most idiotic and cum
bersome possible. but 1 am changing my
mind. The performance of this afternoon
was the limit. The same old results are
attained. only by methods thousand times
more inconvenient than before This NAV
come to work out all right but 1 doubt it !"
That Is just one view. On the other hand
there were a number of bookmakers heard
to say that they would be pleased to see
the Benning meet called off,
Il would be glad to go back to New
York tonight" said one Of them take q
couple of weeks enforced vacation and
then settle down on a stool at some track
where this tomfoOliShnesS Is not necessary"
Some of the layers in the line spoke more
hopefully of the on-the-hoof method of
bookmaking, indicating their belief that
after a while. when layers and bettors get
used to the new conditions, things will
work out all right.
The district attorneys office made no
move yesterday. District Attorney Garyin
and a number of headquarters men were
at the track but they put in their time
looking on and noting whether the bookies
on the line acted as If they were familiar
with Judge Stafford's decision. They all
did. Not one of them but kept on the move
practically all the time. If the spirit of the
decision is observed as carefully during the
rest of the meet as 1t was yesterday, 1t
puts the question squarely up to the prob
lem of what constitutes an individual
wager" and 1t Is supposed test case will
be made of this after the settlement of the
pending appeal from Justice Stafford's de-
cision In the Davis case. In the meantime
II is understood that those bookies who
keep on the move and do not violate the
law in Uther respects will not be molested.

a record one by any means. The attend
