It was the men who frequented the
81 enclosure that caused the anti-bet-
ting crusade to develop. These race
goers with small salaries and limited
financial accounts were badly crippled
when they went to the race tracks and
lost their money. AS a result many
families suffered. Consequently, there
was an attack on race track gambling
which brought about the repeal of the
Percy-Gray betting law.

ARE PROPOSED.

ing laid for the reorganization of the
short ship circuits in Indiana and
Michigan. the idea is to increase the
number of cities in the several ASSOC

composed of about fifteen cities not yet
fully determined, which will insure
twelve weeks of continuous racing with
purses aggregating s125,000. The In
diana circuit will be composed of cities
in the section of the state north of In
dianapolis and will insure possibly
eight weeks of continuous racing.
