British Horse and Doq
Tracks Still in Operation

LONDON, Dec. % R.-British
horse and dog tracks have operated
throughout the war, although on a
rationed basis
The view always has been here
that the little man at home must
have two things to keep up morale
sports and beer.
Only in 1910 was horse and dog
racing suspended for three months
to satisfy critics who felt it was out
of place.
With the exception of steeplechas-
ing, not single major sport is
banned and even this comes back
the day after Christmas.
Steeplechasing was called off be-
cause it is held in winter, when
there is a shortage of transport and
horses require special-type feed
stuffs which are not available.
Many horse tracks were closed,
however. Only five now are holding
regular meets in England, compared
with about 30 before the war.
Greyhound racing is limited to
one day a week.
Many stable boys at the horse
parks are elderly; girls serve as
kennel maids at the greyhound
tracks. There has been no notice
able shortage of jockeys. Even
those called up for military service
often ride if stationed in this coun-
try and able to get leave.

Order Upsets Gambling Crowd;
Source of Number Is Lost

The announcement that all race
tracks will close January 3 came as
great shock to Washington s
gambling fraternity, upsetting the
operations of bookmakers, race fol-
lowers and numbers players.
The daily number is calculated by
totaling prices of races. Florida rae
ing is currently in use.
One big bookie, discussing the
effect on the numbers game of Mobi-
lization Director Byrnes' decision,
said the mutuels at the Mexico City
track could be used. Suddenly a
thought startled him:
But who in the hell would figure
out them pesos?"
A spokesman for the bookie busi-
ness took the edict patriotically.
1--WE will do anything we can to
help those boys over there fighting
he said, There is hardly one of us
who doesn't have a close relative in
service-we're Just like other people
I have brother in France, and I
want to help get this thing over with
fast. The other boys feel the same
way"
1--WE wanted a vacation for a long
time" said another. "It looks like
the time to take it. AS for my as
sistant, it's back to the shipyard
for him."

operation, but also railroad trans
portation as well as tires and gaso-
line in the movement of patrons to

movement of the horses and their
attendants.
"The existing war situation de-
mands the utmost effort that the
people Of the United States can give
to the support of its armed forces
In the production of needed wal
materials. The operation of race
tracks is not conducive to this all
out effort. ,"
"I have asked the War Manpower
Commission to withdraw all ceiling
authorizations. I have also asked
the chairman of the War Produc-
ton Board and the director of the
Office of Defense Transportation to
take such steps as fall within their
power to prevent the use of critical
materials, services and transporta-
ton in the operation of these
tracks If such steps should prove
necessary. However, I am confident
that the management of these
tracks can be depended upon to
take prompt action without the
necessity Of recourse to other meas
ures."
