LATE SPORTING
WIN-AND-PLACE "TOTE"
ADOPTION AT AUCKLAND
A decision to adopt the win-and-place system of betting for the Autumn Meeting at Ellerslie on loth and 17th April was made at a special meeting of the committee. of the Auckland Baeing Club on Monday. Both win tickets and place' tieketß will be available at the. main totalisator in the lawn and Leger. enclosures. Place tickets only will be sold at the totalisators' on the Hill, in the Derby enclosure, and in the members' stand. The electric machine will be used for all the place betting, and' a manual system will be installed for the win betting. A small building will be erected at the dividing-fence between the lawn and Leger enclosures, and it will- have faces, operated by- hand, showing the state of .the win pool. ' Both win tickets and place tickets will be procurable at any one. window in the main totalisator. " '. ■ The win-and-placa system presents difficulties for clubs which already have large electric totalisators, but if it proves a success, as it has done elsewhere, the club will, when circumstances permit, consider the question, of installing electric equipment to issue both win and place tickets.
