SWEEPSTAKES GET
BIG SUPPORT HERE

Tickets in unusually large num-
bers are being bought in this city for
the Grand Irish Sweepstakes races
in March, it was learned today. One
man who had a book of ten tickets
sold every one of them Wednesday
afternoon in a couple of hours-and
the price was $3.50 per throw.
There are other books available,
according to reports, on the Irish
races, to be run on March 49, Draw
ings will be held on March Is, four
days before the running of the races.
1t is commonly believed here that
the popularity of the sweepstakes is
due to the fact that a Durham man
won $150,000 last fall as the holder of
the high stakes. That brought close
home the reality of cash money, even
if only zone in a million" beats the
game.
