Honor Method ~our WEIGH
ing and DisEusts Bookies.
NEW YORK, July 1s.-welching is be-
coming common IN these days Of the oral
betting system at the race tracks around
New York. Many OF the big layers have
lists a yard long Of betters who haven't
come in with their losses. OF course
none Of the layers is making a "holler."
for the simple reason that it would do
him no good, but several Of them are
carrying thousands in debt. The law does
not force a man to pay a gambling debt,
so all the layers con do is to carry the
welcher along in the hope that he will
settle some day when the money comes
his way.
one weli-known layer in explaining that
he is really tied up because several OF his
customers have failed to settle says It is
the easiest hing in the world to stick a
bcokmaker these days. "A customer you
know to be a good fellow will sing along
winning or losing $50 or 500 a day, SIT
Ting regularly. Then a day will come when
luck will desert him and. with the effort to
get back on each succeeding race he will
find himself overheard for $500 or so on
the day.
Here is where the layer gets It in the
neck. II he suggests that the player set
tie then and there the latter gets insulted.
-" What's the matter? Amt my credit
good?' And then you can either count the
money lost or let him go along playing
his luck and nerve against your money.
For the bookmakins or even the non-rec.
ording system to be a success and a
paying venture the public's money must
be handled. This is impossible under the
present system Of betting can hardly last.

WHY FAIR LAToNIA WAS CLOSED
Question. of ~BOOkmakers or the Paris
Mutual Betting System.

Question of BOOkmRkers or the Paris
Mutual Betting System.
CINCINNATI, July 1s.-Horsemen here
believe the Latonia race track was closed
from a spirit of revenge because the Ken
lucky racing commission refused to allow
Latonia to put on bookmakers. II is be-
lieved the commission will retaliate by re-
voking the charter Of the Latonia Jockey
club. The Jockey club officials declare
they closed the track because the tracks
percentage out of the ~pari-mutuel ma
chine was not sufficient to pay expenses.
Despite this statement the fact remains
that the Juckey clubs percentage from
the gambling at the track this year netted
them 10000 more for the recent meeting
than the meeting last year paid. During
the thirty-day meeting OF 1907 the book
makers paid the track only $50, 100 for the
privilege Of making books. During this
meeting the pari-mutuels paid the track
as the tracks percentage S74,6S2-SN,ooO
more than last year.

REAT BRITAIN'S boast Of fair play
II is lost in the old-time cry OF the
professional, win, tie OF wrangle."
The muddle that has come up over
the Olympic games at London Is
Jure TO give the cause Of athletics a setback
from which It may not recover in years. The
full accounts published in the reports fur
nished by the Associated Press indicate that
the London committee is either incompetent
OF is so thoroughly prejudiced as TO be un-
fair. On no other ground can the result
De accounted for. To refuse to award a
championship because no basis for calcu-
latlng points is absurd In the extreme. AT
no other meeting since the Olympic games
have been revived has any difficulty in
calculating points arisen. A worldwide
practice has prevailed, and the athletes
who went to London were under the i'm
preston that It was to rule this season.
Here II was at last discovered that the
committee in charge had adopted a new
method Of counting, and, not only this.
but had taken the unheard of step of
adding in victories won outside the
stadium, mostly in contests in which only
English competitors were entered, thus
making certain that. no matter what the
outcome of the real olympic games. the
coveted first place would remain in Eng
land. Nor was this the worst OF the Of
fenses Of the committed. BY some peculiar
turn Of fortune, the crack American ath-
letes found themselves pitted against each
pther in the trial heats, so that, no matter
which won, the others were left outside
the main event, while the English a~spirants
found themselves pitted against unknowns
from abroad, and were assured OF a place
on the final team. This may have been
the fortune Of the draw, but II was all
against America and in favor of England.
Other rules for hampering Americans were
made, some of them being sweeping and
arbitrary changes from the established
rules for governing the Olympic games.
Protests against these were unavailing, and
as a climax. a British team was allowed
10 flAgrantly violate the rules and was
declared winner in face OF a most
Indignant protest. The governing commit
tee showed it's lack of stamina by it's an
nouncement that no championship trophy
would be awarded. All Of which indicates
the decadence Of the British sporting spirit
and the prevalence Of the professional die
tum of win. tie or wrangle." In all the
really important events the Americans have
maintained supremacy established long ago,
and the moral victory is one that all ma
tions, with the probable exception of John
Bull, VIII recognize. And the champion
runners, jumpers, shooters, weight throw
Hrs, swimmers, wrestlers and boxers live
In the United States; the champion court
tennis player is an American, the cham
pion lawn tennis players are Australian
and the only thing that seems to be left for
Johnny Bull is cricket, to which he is jolly
well welcome. But it's too bad that, win
or lose, the olympiad couldn't have been

Gotch announces his retirement from the
mat. Wen, why not? Certainly he has
shown the world that he is its greatest
wrestler. In estimating his prowess II is
not necessary to make any exceptions. He
goes down In history the acknowledged
peer OF any man who ever stepped on a
mat. and he placed that peerage on ex-
hibition by making the man tCuted by all
the world as unbeatable. quit. And Gotch
is a westerner, a neighbor Of ours; a real,
genuine corn-fed Iowa boy. which is next
thing to being a Nebraskan.
one thing you'll notice is that Guy Green
hasn't offered any explanations or made
any protests; his team is quietly playing

Western league .
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-19

Ducky Holmes will have to produce some
ncontrovertibl evidence to convince most
fans who know him that his frantic pro-
tests against Pueblo are not made for the
purpose of diverting attention from and
heutralizing protests against treatment
awarded visiting teams in Sioux City. Mr..
Holmes will arouse more serious thought
for his side of the case when he begins
20 show the same eagerness for Justice at
Sioux City as at Pueblo. His record alone
is not sufficient weight to tilt the scales
in his favor. Ducky has been a very
belligerent boy in his day. Nor does his
violent threat to destroy the league II
thwarted In his purpose OF protest comport
with the plans OF a peace and iustice-lov-
ing man. There are men in the Western
league who were here long before Ducky.
whose voice and Influence have counted
much more for Justice and peace and who
rannot quite swallow the Holmes DOPE on

UNCLE TOBY ON
COUNTRY EDITOR

The country editor is an amin
al common to all parts of the
United States, portions of Eu-
rope, Asia and Madagascar. He
is a biped, quadruped, cent?
pede and every other kind of a
ped known to natural history.
If he didn't have so many hands
and legs he couldn't preform the
duties of country editor. Your
Uncle Toby was once a country
editor. But he had a strong
constitution and recovered. In
a majority of cases the patien
does not recover. The disease is
not contagious; you have to run
after it TO get it. After that it
has got you. AS rule the
country editor is not ornamental
but he is useful. Everybody
uses him.
The regular duties of a coun-
try editor are to gather news
from all over the country, and
all other countries where his
subscribers have relatives living,
write editorials, obituaries and
accounts of weddings; to set
type, Make up 'forms," do joE
wolk, print, fold and mail the
papers, solicit "ads' and ''locals, y
smoke cob pipe, swear at the
'devil," and throw the "shooting
stick" at the cat. He is also ex-
pected to attend all political
meetings, church socials, baseball
games and funerals, especially
the funerals of his delinquent
subscribers. In addition to
above duties he must cut and
carry in his own stove wood, hoe
in the garden, feed the pigs.
sweep the floor, put up ash hop
pers, stick peas, patch the roof,
repair the fence, put new han
gers on the gate, and get up at
the dead hour of midnight and
90 after prregoric for the baby
1t is also his duty to get in debt
as much us possible to every
merchant in town, as tins will
induce them to take more
space" in his paper.
In the midst of all these duties
the editor is expected to have a
good time, wear a ginger-cake
smile, = brass finger ring, and at
least one ''gallous."
Country editors are usually
married men and have from
seven to fourteen children.
