A survey by The Associated Press shows that, while wagers may be placed large cities, betting is taboo as far as the law is concerned. In some states, bookies operate in the “open” but pay no tribute to the state. The Ohio Legislature has under consideration a measure Wwhich would legalize bookies but there is little hope of its passage. Practi- cally the same measure has been turned down in the past. Such states as Maryland, California and Michigan also have rejected simi- lar proposals in recent years. For a time the California bookies had visions of a legal feast. It came about after the office of the State Attorney General gave an opinion that cities had the right to license bookmakers who maintained offices and retained representatives at the tracks to place bets through the pari-mutual machines. Then the Court Decision . Several Southern California cities passed ordinances licensing bookies 500 to $5,000. One bookmaker op- ened elaborate offices in Los An- geles, But before they were able to start operations, the appelate court issued a decision that any person who took a bet outside a li- censed track for the purpose of transmitting the bet to the track was violating the California racing act. In New Orleans, bookmakers, with loud-speaker systems controll- ed from a central point, operate openly until the day before the sea- son opens at the Fairgrounds. On that day the handbooks close up tighter than a drum and the only way to place a bet with a book-, maker is by private telephcne or with one outside the Orleans parish. At the track :however, bets can pe made through the tracks ow! bookmakers at the “morning line” quotation between 11:30 a. m. and !1:45 p. m. Then the “morning line” at annual fees ranging from §$2,-/closes and the customers can wager only through the mutuels. The “morning line” . wagering is con- trolled in that the names of four horses are underlined in each race Should one of the four be scratched, then those who had wagered in the “morning line” would be paid otf at the pari-mutuel pricec. Hundreds at Louisville It is estimated that between 250 and 500 bookmakers operate “open- ly” in Louisville. Generally they close shop at 1 p. m. while the hors- es are running at Churchill Downs, however. Sporadic police raids keep the bookmakers under cover in such sates as New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan At the start of the Florida racing season, Gov. Fred P. Cone directed the sheriffs of Dade and adjoiningz counties to stop bookmaking under threat of cancelling the state li- quor licenses of bars and similar American Legion Mrs. presided, and plans were made for business gathering in the Northern initiation the next meeting.
