The bettor must be right in all his
selections in order to collect. Since
the bettor is usually an Office hand
or low-salaried employe of some de-
scription, he seldom risks more than
a few dollars week. The operator
has to depend on wide circulation of
the cards rather than large indi-
vidual bets.
Welsh When Hard Hit.
THERE are lots of things wrong
with this system of foot ball
betting. The odds are terrifically
against the bettor. On the other
hand, the operator can be hurt so
badly that he welshes on his bets and
disappears. Commissioners like Jack
Doyle and Tom Kearney will have
nothing to do with the pool form of
betting on foot ball.
The operator is running a gyp
game as long as he wins" says Doyle,
"and when he loses he takes the worst
beating in the world"
In some towns the operators dis
pense with cards and handle their
AOOo ooA PdlIdyS III IIle OTCnOOOX,
word-of- fashion. These men
can't disappear when they lose, be-
cause they are known to the public,
but they can and do rely on the old
formula of having their establishments
raided by the police and their equip
ment conf1scated. Then they have a
good excuse for not paying off and
also for opening up again a little later.
The better bookmakers handle
plenty Of foot ball money, but they
do 1t on single games or on two-and-
three game parlays involving large
sums. None Of them cares much for
foot ball. It's too costly. The favor
ties win about IS per cent of the
time. A smart, steady bettor can
finish the season we'll ahead if he
holds to this theory. Lots of people
do. Foot ball probably is the sound
est of all betting games, as long as
you stick to the form chart and play
1t one game at time.

seems.
Following completion of Saturdays

M biggest single foot ball bet in
Y the memory of most book
makers was $4,000, staked
and lost six years ago by Westerner
on the result of game in the Rocky
Mountain Conference. Three book
makers covered it.
Today they grin and shake their
heads at the thought, for big betting
on foot ball is almost dead and the
pool or parlay, designed to shake down
the small bettor for couple of dollars
q week, has taken its place.
The pool has made foot ball the
favorite sport of the small bettor, next
to racing. That's easy to understand.
There is no other sport in which he
can multiply his investment six, ten,
or twenty times simply by exercising
what he believes to be his skill,
shrewdnesS and judgment of form.
Easily Encouraged.
TIE USUALLY loses, but he always
comes close enough to justify
another try the following Sat-
urday. One week, for instance, he
will pick five winners in a six-game
parlay He thinks to himself: If
Schultz had kicked that field goal Id
be SOS winner on my five-spot. This
is easy. I'll hit 'em all next week"
The parlay bettor realizes, of course,
that he is being woefully underpaid
when he wins. Most foot ball pools
pay off 13 to l for six winners. The
actual odds against picking six win
ners in six even games are 63 to /.
The percentage against the bettor in
creaSeS with the size of the parlay.
He gets 40 to for picking nine win
ners when he should, mathematically,
be getting 511 to /.
Foot ball pools have been popular
for several years, but they hit the
crest of popularity this Autumn. At
a rough estimate the public paid SIS
100000 to pool operators throughout
the country. In New York City a
dozen large and small operators
crossed an average of 100000 every
Saturday. Pool betting became SO
rife on Wall Street that the Stock
Exchange ordered an investigation
and discovered that several employees
OF member firms were acting as agents
and collectors for the operators.

How 1t Is Worked,

IA FOOT BALL parlay is run more

to make big money, issues printed
cards listing 10 or Is of the closest
foot ball games of the week. These
are circulated by agents, most of
whom don't know the main guy by
name.
At the bottom of each card are
printed the odds which the operators
will pay for various achievements. On
a 10-game card, for instance, the odds

OS ANGELES. December Is.

r OS ANGELES, December 25.-
There was a time when Christ
L. mas day was supposed to con-
sist of resting under the holly
and mistletoe around the old Yule
log.
Here in Los Angeles you have your
choice between going to the big Santa
Anita race track opening, with its
$4,000 crowd, or watching Alabama
take another workout for the coming
Rose Bowl game.
The spirit of sport has overshadowed
the spirit of Christmas, although the
spirit of Christmas is working over
time. So is sport.
The Santa Anita opening is ex-
pected to break all records for a
starting day. Race followers have
been trooping in from every section
of the country and the vanguard was
on the way out to Lucky Baldwin's
old rancho by 9 o'clock.
After this opening takes place there
will be a check back to Alabama and
Stanford from Wednesday on to New
Year day, as both teams put on the
final touches for one of the hardest
games Of many years.
Alabama's arrival on Christmas eve
handed the debaters a new impetus.
The combined size and speed of the
Crimson Tide made a distinct i'm
preston on those who have felt fairly
certain this is Stanford's year. They
haven't quit on Stanford, but they
are not so certain.
They are quite willing in this Sec
ton to back their opinions with fairly
important cash, but many of the
larger wagerers are holding back un-
til Stanford's arrival Wednesday. For
that matter, it will still be a guessing
match when the first whistle blows in
the wake of the Rose Bowl flower
parade next week.
The Crimson Tide Arrives.
"A LABAMA'S Crimson Tide came
n roaring in with q rush and q
sweep, accompanied by $50
camp followers from the Deep South.
