for the first time in New York state

old days. All business with the

quiet and orderly manner.
Bookmakers will be assembled in
the old betting sheds with their
cashiers, sheet writers, change max
ers and bonded runners. Layers will
not be permitted in the clubhouse
or on the lawn. About ninety book
les are expected to operate at ia
maica. Each will have an assigned
space. Each will display a program
with his odds. At the sheds, pa
irons will bet by handing the money
to the bookmaker. He may accom-
pany the money with slip record
ing the bet, or he may give the sheet
writer the number of his badge.
In paying off, the cashier will
hand winners envelopes containing
the money. Any layer can take bets
from dollar up. No particular
group will be assigned to handle one
dollar wagers as in the past. Run
ners will handle bets for persons on
the lawn or in the clubhouse.

LOW BIDS MAY
BRING POORER
PLANE SERVICE
Old Companies Which Lost
Contracts Ignore Profit
in New Proposals.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The
new deal in air transports tenn
porary, stop-gap new deals here.
1t came yesterday with the OPEN
ing of bids on seventeen air mail
routes, and it brought with it sur
prises, elation, sorrow, and the pros
pect OF somewhat poorer service.
The surprises were caused by so
many of the old lines apparently
getting their old routes back under
a slight reorganization.
Elation came to those lines which
did get their routes back, sorrow to
unsuccessful bidders, and to hun
dreds of airline pilots, who fear
lower pay may result from some of
the extremely low bidding.
Poorer Service May Result
The prospects for poorer service
emerge from two factors:
l. PoStoffice specifications for
these new routes, which in many
cases are below the standard of
speed and passenger facilities before
the cancellation.
2 The number of new companies
swept into the air mail picture
many of whom will be unable to get
multi-motored equipment, or to af-
ford two-way radio, or additional
passenger schedules beyond the
mail trips.
OF the approximately 1900 miles
OF route bid upon yesterday, 1000
miles probably will be covered by
the same companies that covered
them before the cancellation. The
only likelihood for poorer service on
these lines is the fact that some of
them were bid in at what are said
to be below profit rates, and that
by cutting the corners" financially
service may be affected.
Cord Loses, Is Indication.
The remaining 5000 miles of new
routes are to be flown mainly by
new companies.
There were three schools of
thought in the bidding-one which
bid high enough to make a profit;
one which was determined to get its
line at any cost; the third, that ex-
hibited by E. L. Cord.
Mr.. Cord lost all of his former
routes except one, the short run
from New York to Boston. But Mr..
Cord may have something up his
sleeve. Bids on four more routes are
to be opened next Friday, and some
CT these are Mr.. Cords old routes.
