: BOOKMAKING
IS PUT UNDER
BAN IN FRANCE
PARIS July 9 (by Associated
Press)—So many queer looking races
{despized outsiders defeating illus
« trious horses) have been uncovered
at the metropolitan tracks since the
opening of the racing season that
Baron Maurice de Rothschild, himself
one of the largest owners in France
as well as deputy for Pau, has brought
the matter to the attention of the
French chamber.
Baron de Rothschild has asked the
chamber to pass a law for the sup
pression of book making in Paris and
larger cities in France, the books to
be replaced by Pari-mutual booths in
the cities.
^ The French government receives
ten per cent on all moneys taken in
at the pari-mutual booths at the var
ious tracks. As the amounts bet at
the different tracks vary from 5,000,
D00 to 10,000,000 francs daily the
French government derives from the
racing industry a revenue of between
500,000 and 1,000,000 francs per day.
Baron de Rothschild said in the
French chamber that more money was
bet with the books operating in Paris
each day than at the tracks; estimat
ing that 10,000,000 francs per day
were wagered in the city alone. This
is a net loss of 1,000,000 francs a day
for the government. He charged that
several races had been run with such
flagrant evidence of crookedness that
had such racing been attempted in
England or America, the owners,
trainers or jockeys would have been
' ruled off the turf for life.
It has been alleged that the book
makers gather in all the city money
In the forenoon, no bet being accept
ed under any circumstances after one
o’clock. This gives them ample time
to journey to the race track and, if
they find that they are overloaded
on any one horse and stand to lose
too much, to use a little persuasion
on the jockey piloting the animal.
Jockey Brethet has just been ruled
off for life. He was up on Zizanie II
an overwhelming favorite with the
public. He did not finish in the
money and his bad riding was so evi
dent (he was an apprentice jockey,
not an expert in the gentle art of
pulling a horse) that the judges sum
p moned him into the stand. He
promptly admitted having pulled the
horse but claimed not to be acquaint
ed with the men who made it worth
his while to lose the race.
This is one instance out of many
which Baron de Rothschild says will
kill racing in France unless the gov
ernment takes stern measures for
the suppression of bookmaking in
Paris.

On the police department rolls Fa

could hardly be expected even in this
official capacity to embark personally
on the pursuit of minor offenders
against the law. The inspector usual

work. Not so Inspector Coogan. He
dashed without apology from the rec

leaps, nearly bowling over one of the
detectives engaged in the chase. Up

suspected robber racing along.
“I’ll help you.” exclaimed Father
Coogan. And he ran with the offi

The fugitive turned into an apart

the detectives and a policeman rum

detectives found the man under a

fugitive dashed past, headed for an air
shaft. Before the detectives could
stop him, he had swung through the
opening, plunging downward.

Father Coogan, standing inside the
