Amateur Unreasonable
With His Woqers.

There are many large differences
between the amateur and the pro-
fessional bettors.
For one thing, after dropping the
first three or four races, the anna
teur punger tries to get out by in
creasing his play. He also tries TO
get out by picking some longer shot.
The smart player, as a rule, scents
an of day quickly and saves some
thing for better day beyond.
Also, the amateur feels that he
must play every race. The smarter
bettor, if any. is content to shoot at
two or perhaps three races, and let
the others run for Sweeney and the
suckers.
A keen, veteran player lately gave
me this sound advice. "At least" he
said, "this is my angle

The

Betting Fever Epidemic
Is Result of War
By GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, July 20 (N.A.N.A)
Man, by nature, is betting ami.
NAL. So is woman. If 1t isn't the
races it is golf, bridge, poker, rou-
lette or something else. The general
idea of getting something for moth
ing has a soothing call.
Betting on the horses reached q
new peak at Empire City this last
meeting and some of the figures COL
lected make interesting reading.
How much does the average pettor
wager on the running, or often am
bling, steeds? How much does he
lose? Or win?
You can figure it out. At Empire
City slightly over 10000 people sent
in an average OF 100000 through
the machines each day. 1t was
figured out that each bettor invested,
as you might say, around $50 per
person. This is extremely high.
For example, at Santa Anita the
amount was under $50 per stalker.
Santa Anita, with lal ger crowds, had
many more 81 bettors, ana daily
average over $500 900 was considered
excellent.
Moving back to the Empire City
count, we find, as noted. thai the
average per person was $50 per day.
This is around 81 per race.
There is, of course, one rather
melancholy touch to the situation.
The $4,000 who bet 100000 must
leave over SIS 900 behind them. The
track and the State collect this.
This means that the general average
loses about 81 a day. no matter what
horses win or lose.
This isn't so much. Some win
But the majority have to pay for
their thrills, such being the way Of

Never Get Touted OFF
Horse Thot You Like.

There are other angles" he con-
tinued. For example, in a race
We may have a speed horse which
has been known to quit when he has
had to meet speed. But in this race
there isn't much speed to beat.
Here is a big chance which many
overlook.
IF for some good reason you like
q horse, don't get touted off. Moth
ing can make you sorer.
Another losing temptation is to
play too many horses. AS I've said
before, the smarter bettors only play
two or three horses day. You'd
be surprised at how many play two
or three horses each race. 1 had
one amateur friend who suddenly
turned to me and said, I've just
figured it up in this race. If I could
call these horses one-two-three I'd
still lose S8.' I saw another bet $95
on five horses in one race. He won
10 cents. That was about all he
could win the way he was betting.
He overlooked the fact that he also
could lose sos. In fashion he was
betting 900 to against himself"

On the other are the deaistic forces of Democracy
that place human values above the dollar.
In our opinion, Big Business is going to open it's
money bags wider than ever before to finance the
Republican campaign. There are already convinc-
ing indications that plenty of outside money is being
poured into Arizona to stimulate Republican polit-
cal activities.
If Big Business should win through Republican
