Racing of thoroughbred horses. or 1.-THE
sport Of kings as its admirers are wont
to call II, is one Of the few sports which
must report loss Of ground and setbacks
resulting almost in decadence in the
opening decade Of the twentieth century.
And, worse still from the viewpoint OF
those who enjoy good horse race with
a modest wager attached, the outlook
carries little of promise for the immediate
future. There is consolation for turfmen
only in the fact that with conditions as
bad as they are they scarcely can be
worse while there always is the hope for
Better things.
As a result Of the reform wave which
has swept the country. some of the rea-
sons for which will be discussed later in
this article. racing has been wiped out In

unnecessary to show anything by tho dis
cards when suits have been named in the
bidding. In the absence Of any bid you
can follow any system Of discards that
you fancy.
Practice is the great thing at auction,
and II combined with good judgment in
the bidding and careful observation OF
the methods of those with whom you
habitually play is sure to bring success.
Remember that the object OF the play is
not to get the odd trick. as at bridge.
but to save or spoil the contract.
My parting advice to the readers who
have been good enough to follow this
course of lessons would be. above all
things. to avoid declarations which can
not possibly run out the game il they
succeed. but which may lose heavily If
they fail Never be afraid to let your
adversary play a hand on which he can
not possibly go game. such a black
bid, If you have nothing absolutely safe
yourself. The secret of success at auc-
ton is to let the other side take the
chances because the object is not to
win the most rubbers, but to score the
most points.

After the first chapter, when Western

Its July Tourney.

CHICAGO, April 29.-Having decided to
electrify its railroad, make number Of
improvements in the clubhouse and sur
rounding buildings, and to spend some
thing like $4,000 in the improvement Of
its course, the Midlothian Country Club
does not intend to hide its light under a
bushel. It will be welcome news to local
golfers that the big Blue Island club will
renew its invitation tournament, a feature
that has been dropped for a few sea-
sons.
The club has made application to the
Western Golf Association for dates and
has been allotted July 5 to 8, by which
time all the alterations in the course will
have been completed.

Small Field Left to Turf.
Kentucky. Maryland. Virginia, West
Virginia, Montana, Utah and Oklahoma

there has been sentiment in certain
quarters that might lead to a change of

1ust when the legislature of Colorado
passed q liberal racing and boxing bill
the governor vetoed the measure with
such a vehement statement that further
hope in that direction is stilled for the
present.
What, then, are the reasons for such a
wide and successful crusade against a
sport which in itself is most spectacular
and thrilling and which is enjoyed in
nearly every other civilized country on
che globe? The causes are both from
within and without.
American race tracks for the last twenty
years have derived most of their revenue
from the patronage OF persons who went
to the tracks to wager or from the fees
paid by bookmakers for the privilege of
laying odds. Racing became business

Handbooks Menace to Sport.
Nor was that all Could betting be re-
.stricted to the race tracks themselves the
harm would be minfmized, but poolrooms
and handbooks, in which the dealer has
al the advantage of a sure thing per-
eenfage, arose anywhere. Even now
the police in all large cities cannot or
will not curb the handbooks, which offer
odds on races at any merry-go-round
track that can attract enough patronage
to exist.
So much for the evils which attached
themselves to the game. There also were
evils for which the men who owned race
tracks were responsible. Instead of TAX

warfare and resorted to practices which
no sport could survive. Not only in the

Whether there can be devised . remedy
which will preserve the sport, and Incl
dentally the quality OF the American
thoroughbred. and at the same time mini
mize or eliminate the most Objectionable
features Of race track speculation and it's
attendant evils is a question for the fu-
ture.
For racing to be revived the work must
begin at the bottom. Builders Of the rae
ing game Of the future, If there be any
future, must work along lines not sue
cessfuIly attempted in recent years. First
and primarily. they must be sportsmen
and not sports. They must honestly and
sincerely, by real action and not for pub
LEGATION only. attempt to correct the spec
ulative exils which had become part Of
the sport. They must educate the public
in pedigrees. family lines OF horses and
class as affecting results rather than
what some plunger thinks And they also
must educate the public to feel real al
lection for the horse and an interest in
the result aside from the odds offered by
the bookies.

Patrons Want to Wager.

While strictly speaking there is no law
against betting, and this is the argument
Of the anti-turfites. it has been proved
that racing cannot exist without the
speculative adjunct. 1t was tried in Chi
cago At Washington Park in 1904 and it
has been tried elsewhere. BY cutting the
immense sums added to classic stakes
and fixtures the race tracks, although
forced to a heavy annual expense for
maintenance and running expenses, could
live even with the revenue from booking
practically eliminated. But the American
people of the present age seem to have
an Inherent desire for speculation, and
without some opportunity. even la5orious
and bothersome, to crafty this desire or
failing, they Will not attend the tracks.
Oral betting was tried in New York and
California While the attendance de-
creased and revenues fell off. the sport
remained on a high plane and racing was
possible. The system cut off the small
bettors and made difficult the placing Of
vaGers for the heavier bettors. but they
suffered the Inconvenience cheerfully and
even paid higher fees Of admittance to
enjoy the sport. But this method did not
shut on the handbooks and poolrooms,
ana it did not satisfy the ants. Accord
lngiy even more drastic laws were passed
