method OF credit wagering this year.
This information was furnished by
a person in close touch with the con-
trolling body Of racing. It is in line
with the remark dropped by August Bel
mont at the hearing OF the Agnew-
Hart bin before the joint codes com
mittee at Albany on Wednesday. At
that hearing Mr. Belmont, when asked
If he had any remedy in mind TO les
san betting, especially By the youth

meeting OF the Jockey Club and try
10 devise some method 10 accomplish
this result
No Money Exchanged on Track.
II this plan be introduced it means
that there viii be no exchange OF money
at the track. The settling OF all wagers
will be done at some place away from
the race course. This viii be no hard
ship TO the large bettors, as all their
betting Is now done on the credit sys-
TEN.
The people affected by the Innovation
VIII be- the small players who frequent
the field" Most OF them bet very lit

the layers in that space. Under the
English plan they would have TO think
up some new scheme 70 enable them

But 1t would affect the latter, too.
Therefore. | hope and believe that all
