TOTE AND INTEREST 240,680 168. 4d. was retained from
IN RACING.
New Public Attracted to This Valuable Sport."
BETTING BOARD'S REPORT.
The Tote has come to stay-as a firm friend of Britain's
гасен going public,
This is the main fact which emerges from the first annual re-. port of the Racecourse Betting Control Board. The report goes up
to the end of December.
It is an enthusiastic report which claims that the Tote has
Revived interest in racing; Attracted a new public-to re- ing:
Benefield the horse-breeding industry.
And it predicts that the Tote will profoundly influence betting evils.
"The response by the public to the innovation
on regular race- courses was highly encouraging, and it has had an excellent reception everywhere," the report states.
"The experience gained," the re- port continues, "has clearly estab lished the fact that the Totalisator is a facility which is desired by the racegoing public and that it can be operated remuneratively and pro- vide surplus funds for the objects laid down in the Act.
"Racecourse managements have found it in many cases expedient to reduce the cost of admission to the various enclosures, and this has un- doubtedly been a contributing cause of the increased attendances. But it is impossible to dispute the fact that the establishment Totalisator has done much to revive an interest in racing and to attract a new class of public to this valu- able sport.
of the
Greater Benefits in Store, "The Board are, in fact, confident that this, their first year of work. has produced results which not only fully justify the action of Parlia- meat in passing the Act, but give promise of even greater benefits to the sport of horse racing than were contemplated by the authors of the measure.
"The effect upon the habits of the racegoing public can hardly be measured. but much has already been done to regularise the whole business of betting and to put it in its proper place in relation to the sport of horse racing,
"The Board are aware of the at- mosphere of controversy which sur- rounded the inception of the Act. but they believe that, given time to establish itself, the Totalisator will have a profound lufluence on many of the evils, the existence of which has been a source of difficulty and embarrassment to those responsible 'for the orderly governance of the sport of horse racing in the past." Backers Benefit,
|
Pools and other receipts.
The report states that as the period was one of development no attempt was made to prepare an operating or trading account such "when the business is continuous as will be prepared in future years
and the organisation is completed."
TILDEN BOOED.
Big Bill Tilden came in for some rousing booes in France, recently It seems Bill would not play against his protege, Junior Coen, in the championship match of a Riviera tournament. Tilden evidently did not want to beat Coen for the title, so withdrew,
The French resented it and pan ned Tilden quite a lot. Big Bill gets his share of cheers and critic- ism every year.
At that he is still the outstanding figure in American tennis.
