TRACK BETTING
 IS FLOUR|SH|NG
Economic Crisis Seems to Have
 No Effect on Turf Fans

New York. August 19 (UP)- Race track betting is flourishing as a s450,00O,000 industry this year, oblivious of the economic crisis and the drought, according to a survey by the United Press:
 Thousands of persons are involv- ed, from those who place $1 on d horse they'll never see to those who wager thousands and make the rounds of all the tracks.
 Betting on the races, which the average man sees as a chance to for nothing, needs only the win of an outsider in a prominent race to spur it into increased activity.
 Such was the win of Jim Dandy over Gallant Fox and Whichone in the Travers stakes at Saratoga Springs last Saturday. Bookmakers believe Jim Dandy's win at 100 to will increase their business for a week or two because many bettors will figure: If I had placed s10 on Jim Dandy I'd have s1.00O now"
 The estimate of s450, 100000, which must remain guess because O. the impossibility of computing wagers placed with bookmakers away from the tracks. is based on the following figures:
 Winter meetings in Louisiana and seasonal meetings in Ohio and West Virginia. s5o,0O0,00O; Maryland, 7O,OOO,0 ,000: Kentucky, s50,00O,O00; Illinois, s65,OOO,OoO; New York, sSO,000,000: handbooks. American, Canadian and Mexican tracks, s15o,- 0OO,O00.
 An indication of the accuracy of these figures may be obtained from the official report of Maryland A total of s54,419,S67 was wagered at the four one-mile tracks in 1929 and there are several half-m mile tracks that would easily boost this figure to s70,000,000 on a conservative es- timate.
 Definite figures are obtainable in Maryland because that state, like Kentucky and Illinois. has the pari- mutuel system, whereby the bettor purchases a ticket. The state de- ducts a percentage. varying from 6l2 to 15. The number of tickets bought on each horse determines the odds.
 In New York and Ohio, betting is against the law, but loop-holes are found. In this state wagers are made orally, while in Ohio the "con- tribution' system is in vogue. By the latter system the bettor tech nically contributes" 10 the expense of putting the horse in the race and assumes a right to part Of it's win nings.
 Regarding odds. only those who go to the tracks aid wager receive all their winnings when the odds run high, as in the case of Jim Dandy. "Bookies" who operate away from the tracks usually pro- tect themselves from such freak wins by limiting the pay-off to 20 to 1.

Bat Battalino. worlds feather weight champion, evened the score with Bud Taylor, Terre Haute Ter TOT, last night at. the Hurley Sta dium in Eakt Hartford. The bout wasn't anything extra to watch be- cause of the continuous wrestling and ~clinching both fighters indulged in. Taylor opened up only in the eighth and ninth rounds while at other times, he found it difficult to get past the cautious defense Bat talino threw up.
 After the bout, Taylor leaned over the ropes to talk to friend and he said that Battalino kept guarding against his left hand all night and he was unable to get it in. He said that Battalino was strong. When he was on the defense, Taylor said. it was like twisting iron to get Bat talino away.
