For the Public Against the Tricky Race Clubs, | The Hamilton Spectator says: Whether there has been grounds | for it_or-.mot, the patrons of racing | | have been expressing dissatisf action | { with the prices paid by the mutuels | on the Canadian circuit this year. The opinion prevails that some of the | clubs have been taking more than | their share, and one man who has | been following the game for years] land is a rapid calculator, claims that | one has gnly to: figure up the per- centage f¥om the figures given in the | Daily Raligg 'Form, which are said to be officigl;=to learn that the clubs | have been daking more than the al- | lotted five ' "per cent' and '"'breaks.' | The 'Spectator has suggested several | {times the only way in which the] | clubs and public can get proper pro-| tection is for the government to ap- point auditors who will see that ufe money is fairly divided. The gov- ernment has had men at various] meetings, it is true, but they were there to collect the tax from the to- | tal amount bet, and did not attempt | | to supervise the division of the mon- | ey. | | | While betting on race tracks is sup-1 , posed to become legal automatically | {six months after the declaration of peace, there is nothing to prevent {legislation coming up at that time to stop it.. One of the men prom- inently connected with racing in Canada. has made the suggestion that thé only salvation for the sport | is for the government to take over| all tracks; and to pay the share-| holders ten per cent on their in- vestment and allow the profits to be used for military and agricultural purposes. He points out that in this way the "mushroom" tracks will be put out of business, and that the sport will be on a much higher stand- ard as a result. No matter what action is taken, the public should be given sime kind of protection in the calculating room and the sooner some action along that line is taken, the bétter it will be for all concerned. HEAVYWEIGHT Should be Much More Popular With the Public. It is a strange thing that the average fight fan of to-day is one of the greatest howlers the world ever saw when mention is made of a heavyweight tdngle, The general im- pression, following sundry raw ex- hibitions, is that a heavyweight nowadays is a slice of cheese. As a matter of fact, the record of Fred Fulton, the foremost contend- er for Jess Willard's championship, is a great deal better than the re- cords of some of the most populer men who ever fought as heavy- weights. The record of Jim Jeffries doesn't carry the awe-inspiring series of knockouts as does Fulton's Robert Fitzsimmons' great record of fights- he won by a knockout doesn't com- pare very well with Fulton's, and John L. Sullivan's record is not to be considered in the same breath with Fulton's. Fulton's record shows he has en- gaged in thirty-five bouts. Of thes. he has won twenty-five by a knock- out. Once he was flattened and he has lost two bouts on fouls. Jeffries went to the squarea circle for twenty-one encounters, and on seven occasions he was re- turned winner by a knockout Sullivan appeared in thirty-six battles, just one 'more than Fulton, but he was-able to win oniy e ght of them by knockouts. Fitzsimmons fought forty times, and won only twenty-three of them with a finishing punch. It may be argued that the men these champions were meeting were far better than the average heavy- weight of to-day. However, it gill be freely admitted that none of them was any better than San. Langford, who Fulton has credit ot a knockout over. And Fulton has barred none of them. He is ready to meet them all. ! , In view 6f these records it is a rather queer turn of affairs that PUGLLISM ! is disbanding. | before the middle of August. | second Dase in first-class style for | leased him | horse for $1, makes fans refer to the good old days of Fitzsimmons, Sullivan and | Jeffries when the talk turns' to heavyweights. | To enable Catcher John Haddock | to enlist with h"s brother, Steve | Haddock, of Syracuse, Manager | George Wiltse, of the Reading New York State League nine, released him.
