Origin Of Race Tips.

The agreement entered into by a
number Of English sporting publica-
tons to cease printing the advertise
ments of racing tipsters recalls some
interesting memories of the origin and
development of this phase of the turf.
Although racing was well established
In England late in the eighteenth CEN
fury 1t was not until some years later
that the tipster made his appearance.
So far as turf history can be relied on.
Daniel Dawson was the originator of
tipping. He first came into prominence
in and about the course at Newmarket
during 1907. Although absolutely illit-
crate he was a Shrewd Judge of a race
horses ability and soon became known
as a remarkable forecaster of winners.
His fame spread rapidly and his tips
were In great demand by those who
desired to wager on the results OF
ingly at his novel vocation until he
fell in with several educated and clever
rogues.
His new companions hit upon the plan
Of using Dawsons fame as q means of
executing sensational betting coups.
He was Influenced to name probable
winners of big stakes week or more
in advance of the races. thus causing
heavy play on the favorite. while other
was furnished with poison by which
he eliminated the public choice. leav-
ing the field clear for cleanup BY
his hackers. The scheme was exposed
when Lord Foley lost three of his best
racers at Newmarket in 1911. Dawson
and a confederate named Bishop were
arrested and the latter turned kings
evidence. Dawson was convicted OF
this and similar charges under an act
which made it capital onense TO
maliciously destroy horses and cattle.
Dawson was hanged at the top of Cam
bridge castle in the autumn of 1872
before more than 10000 spectators,
many of whom had purchased his tips
when he was a ''touter" at Newmarket.
Trainer Describes Methods.
Ernie Hjertherg, Sweden's national
athletic director and trainer OF the team
which recently defeated the English ath-
letes in an international dual meet nine
events to four. describes his methods
and preparations for the Olympic games
at Berlin In 1916 as follows:
1T have four assistants to help me in
my work now. For the early part of
this year my men were at the university
towns, Gothenbure; Lund, Upsala and.
of course, Stockholm. Their work was
to see that the university men were
taught what to do and how to do
it. and to report to me. while I
made trips round to see how the
men We're going on, to give advice
ard instruction. I have planned to visit
forty-four cities in Sweden this fall,
spending one to three days at each, CIV
ing instructions to the local people, get
ting into touch with likely young run
ners and arranging to be kept informed
Of their progress; 1 shall attend all the
big athletic meets, so that l can note
Improvement and the development Of
style, correct any little faults, and SO on.
Then next year. as soon as the season
opens, shall make flying trips around
again to find out how the athletes and
also how sport in the districts are pro-
crossing.
