WHAT I would like to have
w explained TO me is why all
this furor in New York City
and elsewhere about the betting
on sports events.
I mean why should they not
be bet on?
What is the purpose of the
events. especially the profess
sional events?
Are they not private business
enterprises designed 10 enter
tain the public but at profit
TO the owners, the same as the
theaters
Are not the participants hired
as specialists in the presenta-
tion of the professional sports
event, and is not most of the
public interest in such events
developed through newspaper
publicity based almost entirely
on speculation and argument
and opinion as TO the superior
ity OF one side or the other?
And among Americans is IL
not most second nature 10

standing reflection on the base
ball athletes as IL implies that
the lads might be susceptible TO
temptation and chuck a game
now and then at the behest of
the gamblers. I quote the
gamblers because it is the
most overworked word in the
dictionary in the turmoil over
the betting.
Personally. I think that weak
nesses of the kind mentioned
can always be eliminated by
giving the participants in all
these professional sports events

the promoters gather from the
public. The race tracks seem
