Keep Adding Races.

pROMOTERS take advantage of
this fact by always supply another
race. Once upon time six races
were enough in New York Now
seven are given on big days. The
pari-mutuel machine brought in the
regular seven-race program because
IL gave the promoter another whack
at the racegoer's pocketbook Not
content with that, eight races now
are being scheduled, and, in some
Gases, nine.
Expert handicappers on newspapers,
many OF them with years of expert
ence, get only IS per cent winners.
Most OF these are favorites, form
horses. How can the greenhorn hope
TO do better with less experience? He
resorts to shooting at the moon, trying
for long shot to make up all his
Iosings.
The best of the newspaper handi-
sappers get rs high as 40 per cent
winners. Year in and year out it is
q mathematical fact that just short
OF 40 per cent of favorites will win.
Many favorites, supposedly the surest
ones, are odds-on, and about two
hfths OF even the odds-on choices
will lose. Obviously one can't beat
the races on this basis.
The trouble with handicapping is
Shat while one may get two winners
q day, or even more, one never knows
when the winner is coming unless
one has judgment. Bad money man
asement is placing the large bet on
q loser and the small bet on a win
ner. Good money management is
the reverse.

More Time Held Needed.

r EALLY think the American
team should have longer time
to get their land-legs back before
they go into hot competition against
the British" he said
They'll have little less than a
week before the matches, when they
should have five or six weeks. It affects
every one the same way, and believe
in that you'll find the answer to why
the Ryder Cup contests, between two
evenly matched teams, always has
gone to the team playing on home
soil.
The golf swing is finely timed
and finely geared instrument. Any
man who has tossed on ship for
five days, and who has learned to
brace himself against the roll of a
vessel, takes more than week to get
his land-legs back. I think you'll find
the answer to the failure of our Ryder
Cup teams in England right there"

Has Had Experience.

COME years back Admiral McVay
quit golf-for a period of seven
years-becauSe of this same business
OF sea-legs and land-legs and accl-
matization after a long sea voyage.
He'd travelled from Frisco to Austria
liza, on the quarter deck of one Of
Uncle Sans battle-wagons, and being
golfer, the first thing he sought.
when he landed was golf course. He
played so badly, in his first venture,
that he about decided to give up the
game. He played again and was just
as bad. And he did give 1t up-for
seven years.
Thinking it out in the long watches
OF steaming over the seas of the world,
he came TO the conclusion that pos
sibly the tossing Of the ship in a sea-
way, and the matter Of sea-legs had
something to do with his ineptness
at the game. So he took up golf again
after proper interlude TO get his
land-legs back. And he played as well
as he ever played. He figured out that
any man needs weeks on terra flrma
after a sea voyage before he gets back
on such finely rhythmic thing as
the golf swing.

HAndicappinx Is Difficult.

III HAND1cAPP1NG skill is of little
avail in many 2-year-old races
where the horses never have been
tried, or where there are many un-
known quantities. 1t also is an uphill
battle in races consisting of cheap
claiming horses. many of them
patched-up cripples, which one can
hardly expect to run consistently.
There are comparatively few op-
portunities to bet If one eliminates
these two classes. Yet the races which
remain are those in which there is q
very good chance of getting the win
Aer on form.
The only value of a system is that
It. teaches the uninitiated some kind
Of control. It places his wagers be-
tween limitations. Usually a system
slows down the rate at which a race
eoer loses. Beyond that it has no
value. Certainly, if any system would
beat the races, 1t would be more
precious than diamonds and emeralds
and would not be sold to the public.
And the. same applies to the tout's
tips.

Pool Room Pacts Harmful,
WEAKNESS OF race track ma

"a agement is the tacit truce that
prevails with the pool room wire net
work. At most race tracks there is a
comeback money" room. or come
back wire" This, to accommodate
money coming back to the track from
pool rooms, wire rooms and horse
rooms all over the country.
Such 4 wire is installed with the
knowledge and consent Of the race
track, and Is charged for like any other
concession. 1t works to the sharp
detriment of the man in the street;
that Is. the 81 bettor. 1t gives the
big gambler an unfair advantage over
the LITTLE fellow.
It u the 81 bettor who keeps the
racing game alive. Let him turn
against the sport and there will be
another reform wave that may end
racing In this country!
