sentatives had passed a oil which eZ-
tended the anti-gamblmg law OF the
District 10 the territory which includes
BenninE
Instantly ali was chaos in the ring
Many thought that the officers OF the
law would begin TO make arrests at
once, and when a few bluecoats bunch
ed up under the stand a number of
weakened bookies dropped their states
and started for the open.
No Arrests Made.
No arrests were made and the after
moons program was finished out. Last
night the bookmaking fraternity didn't
know exactly where it was at and the
opinion was freely expressed that the
game at Benning was up.
There was some debate as to what
could be done IN case the Benning meet
ing came TO stop at once. II was sug-
gested that the meeting might be trans
ferred to Baltimore. but that would
not be possible under the provision Of
the Maryland law. which provides for
notice of the dates claimed. Altogether
the situation at Benning is very much
mixed.
