FOR BETTING BILLS REPEAL
Racetrack Officials Not Liable II Mar
tins Measure Passes.

Albany, March 31.-Assemblyman
Martin of Saratoga county whose
district includes one of the most not
ed race tracks of the State which Will
be closed this year, introduced yester-
day bill which II enacted will repeal
a law of last year, to which the death
of racing in this State is ascribed.
This law makes the officers and direc-
tors guilty of a misdemeanor II bet
ting Is carried on at the race tracks
over which they have supervision.
When the bill was introduced last
year the representatives Of The Jock
ey Club fought it vigorously, declar-
ing it would close all the tracks in
the State. 1t was decided few weeks
ago to make no dates for racing on
the New York tracks this year. AS
semblyman Martins bill is introduced
in response to a demand from many
of his constituents in Saratoga. The
legislative leaders, however, say II
will not be passed.
II would vote against the bill If II
ever found its way out of committee, "
| New York Senator VIII opposed last
years legislation said last night. Il
pleaded with members last year to de-
feat the bill which is the cause OF all
the racing trouble, but they would
not listen to me. | said II was in nc
way in the interest of the bookmak
ers, but it would kill the sport in this
State. Now that the law is in effect
let it remain. The damage has been
