Talent Is Sifting Betting Question For Local Speoulative Element Will Not Be Permitted to Place Racing in Jeopardy—No Chance for Stakeholder System Intro- duced at New Orleans. HILE the rank and file of race- track patrons are wondering how |the betting end of the game Is to be handled here this sea- on, there isn’t a word coming from the owners of the race courses that will operate in and around New York. The track owners say that they are not interested in betting, but it 's for them to decide just how far their patrons can go without violating the laws and getting the directors tn- volved in the Liability Law. It has been stated in Thd Evening World exclusively early in the year that those who expect to see open betting with a display of money are doomed to disappointment. There won't be anything like it, although @ little more rkag § tnan was given last season may be expected. Just what conditions will govern the bet- ting, Will not be known until shortly befdre the opening. of the season at Belmont Park on y 20, ‘The best legal talent in the country, jawyers who have made a specialty of the questions of | such as have eo up during the past year, are even now at work preparing reports or the track owners. They have a foundation on which to work in the form of favorable decisions in bet- ting chses, but before they hand out advice every detail will be looked into. “You must remember,” said a man prominently identified with racing, “that track owners regulate only rac- ing and not betting. They have in- vested. heavily and will not permit the betting element to step in and place them in jeopardy of getting mixed up with the law and ing their moncy. Conservatism watchword with th men,” con- tinued the speaker. "They are going to go about this thing in a most con- servative manner, and when a de- cision is reached, which will be only after the best legal talent has sifted the question, you will find that thore isn’t going to be a so-called wi pen betting plan or anything like it. In discussing the plan of having Smith Is Beaten by Jack Dillon (Special to The Evening World.) MILWAUKEE, W! March 17.-—~ Gunboat Smith the New York heavy- weight, may be able to beat Jack Dillon or give him a good argument in twenty rounds, but in a ten-round pattie last night he was ao far out- classed that It could hardly be callod a fight, This ten-round bout was all Dilion, Smith only getting an even break in two rounds, Dillon did all the work, and Gun- boat Smith showed only weight, with little boxing ability sufficient to give him a look in with a man as fast as Dillon. ‘All that Smith did in the way of boxing was to left for the head, with occasionally a right cross, and this Dillon would take on his glove or his head, and rush |in and pummel Smith with rights and lefts. Dillon occasionally put @ cross to the head, but most of his work was to the body, | market Track Owners stakeholders as was done in New Or- feans our informant ventured the opinion that this plan wouldn't do round here. “In the first-place,” said e, “thei pearance of a regular open betting And even if such a thing would everybody would want to “You can imagine what would required if a layer hendled fifty wagers on a race and ne average wager was $15 and the odds om the borses being played ranged from 5 to 1 to 15 to 1, But why discuss some- thing that isn't going to happen. The patrons of the race tracks will learn soon enough what is going to be done. It-can be answered in a short sentence —the track oWners are going to be very conservative.” Entries for the stake events to be run at Jamaica during the summer meeting, which starts June 10, will close April 20, There are eleven stakes.
