THE "COUPON" PRESS
Extract from "THE WEEKLY SCOTSMAN," Dec. 1.
THE decision of the King's Bench Division in London that ens of the football coupon competitions which came before it for judicial pronouncement is illegal under the Ready-Money Football Betting Act
is a sad blow to the "Coupon Press," which has to resort to such competitions, free insurance, and the like, to inflate circulation figures. These competitions have unquestionably a most vicious in- fluence. People bay up papera by the dozen in the fond hope that in one guess or another they may hit the correct results. The sales of papers are thereby inflated; but the chances of success to any individual are some millions to one, and wholesale buying of papers is sheer waste.
