SPORTS TRAIL

the game with new money h e
players soon would be broke"
Betting becomes a habit, or
practically an obsession, with some
people, the worrler points out, and
they'll beg, borrow or even steal
to get money to satisfy the urge.
They won't stop as long as they
have two bucks, and if they aren't
working regularly and drawing the
high wages they are now, they
soon will be broke. And a broke
community brings down the wrath
OF the non-bettiag citizens on the
cause of the situation.
That doesn't apply to New York
City, which has to be figured as
a separate item in any general
people here that the inroads of the
tracks just scratch the surface.
But in smaller communities h e
pinch really is felt.
When community sees the
tracks bleeding it dry, it might
bring pressure to bear to bring
about a firmer control of racing,
and the tracks might find them
selves suddenly cut down to very
brief meetings. Naturally tn e
tracks aren't going to run their
meetings after there is no longer
a::'y money or profit, but they are
going to run them to that point,
and that is the point where the
community is broke.
Anyway, the match lighted for
just a little warmth has started
cutie a conflagration. Right now
1T is fine as it hasn't started to
burn anyone yet. but it seems to
be beyond control and eventually
the tracks themselves will get the
scorching. And the worst part of
it is, they can't tell the people to
stay away from the tracks and
not show so much enthusiasm.
