Great Britain Considers Levying of Tax on Bets of All Descriptions

FIGURE SUCH A LAW WOULD GET TWELVE MILLION Stanley Baldwin, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Favors Move. By MILTON BRONX KB, .YEA Service Writer. LONDON, May 12. —Great Britain,, most heavily taxed nation in the world, whose trade is crippled and whose unemployed number over 1.400,000. is nevertheless such a huge agglomeration of gamblers that the government is thinking seriously of raising revenue through a tax on all bets. Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer, in presenting his annual i!fi <e***. *****%.'lfpl 111 f Wjm STAN LIIJ BALDYVIN. budget estimates to the House of Commons, said he was much attracted by the idea of a tax on betting. He proposal to name a committee • .. examine into the matter and see what possibilities it held. Well, it has been represented that ,ihe possibilities were itc-t $ 12.000." HO ‘ Which gives you an idea of how betcrazy the English people are. Contrasts with the United States are startling In America horse racing at the big tracks is allowed only in Kentucky. New York and on or two other States, and then for a few weeks in the year. Racing All A car Britain has racing practically all year. Only a sudden snowstorm halts it. Irt the United States, betting is - illegal, except at the tracks. M tkers of handbooks are subject to arrest, , fine and imprisonment. Even on some of the tracks bookmakers are barred. Thus in Kentucky, betting is by the pari-mutuel system where the !'public virtually bets with itself, win- ! revs getting all the money, less a i percentage for the track and State. Tn Britain, the pari-mutuel system is not in vogue. And here is a pe- | culiar thing: Certain kinds of bookmakers are following a legal business; i others are following an illegal btlßlness. It is due to one of the crazy kinks 1 iu the British law. The law was framed ostensibly to protect the poor man from the temptations of betting. How 1/egal Bookies Work There are the legal bookmakers wh>> will accept your bets provided : your financial responsibility and your status is vouched for by several men they kndw. No cash money i passes And at th% end of the \ week's hefting, if youave won. the \ bookmakers send you a check. If I you have lost, he sends you a bill , and you send him a check, j The poor man naturally can't deal | with these top-lofty gamblings. So | he lays a few shillings with the out i lawed handbook men who dodge' around the comer when they see the I police coming. Many of the legitimate bookj makers advertise in the daily news- | papers. Latest news that is ‘‘fudged'' ! into the afternoon editions of Engi lish papers rarely is about big poI liticai or International events. Mostly ! it is the list of winning horses.

Don’t Be Afraid to Hit Turf With Iron ___ __ _ By Mike Brady Western Open Champion

AS tlie golfer gets past, the introductory stage lie will tint! that there is quite a difference between the strokes for wood and iron, with special reference to the wooden shot* off the toe. The wooden shot, is essentially a sweep and the iron 'a hit. With the wood the are of the swing is longer, smoother and carried right through, with minimum contact with the ground. The iron stroke is more of a punch, in which there should he no hesitancy about hit ting the turf. S The iron is more of a stiff-arm stroke, >.".•• I®” j with shorter back swing, less pivoting and 1more forcing of the stroke. If w ■R. Beeause the swing is shorter, with ae- Jlj curacy more essential than distance, the Ilk & A? stance is somewhat different than with wood, the feet generally closer together and the ball nearer the line of the right foot. brady These are points on which it is well worth while to get practical first-hand instruction, for they mean much to a beginner’s progress. No end of self-taught golfers play their wooden shots as they should irons and vice versa. On iron shots don't he afraid to let the club hit the turf. Dou’t try to lift the ball with the arms. The clubhead will do it. It is modeled for that purpose.

QUESTIONS ONE—What is an illegally batted ball? TWO—Can a batsman take his base if hit by a slowly pitched ball? THREE—Has a base runner the right to deal on a foul tip that ts caught? FOUR—If a fair ball strike Ihe umpire on foul ground what happens? FlVE—What happens if a fielder prevents a runner from rcaeniug a bast- by obstructing his progress: ANSW ERS , ONE—A ball batted by the batsman with one nr belli Get outside the lutes of the batsman's position. TWO—The degree >f speed is given no consideration. If in the opinion of the umpire the batsma.- tried to avoid being hit. THREE—The base runner certainly his such right. FOLK—The ball is considered ill play at such a time. FIVE—The base- runner is entitled to that base. WETHERED WINS BRITISH AMATEUR - GOLF CROWN Defeats Harris in Easy Fashion in Final Round of Play.
