BETTING EVIL
RACING CLUB’S REVENUES AFFECTED SYDNEY, May 13. Firm action is being taken by the New South Wales Government, to regulate, if not completely eradicate, starting-price or off-the-course betting, which is reported to be seriously affecting the revenues of racing clubs, as well as spreading throughout the community. The Government intends to control the broadcasting of certain race information and entirely prevent the use of wireless in notels. Drastic action was taken yesterday at the instance of the police, who obtained a judicial order under the Gaming Act declaring two city hotels and one suburban hotel common gaming-houses, which automatically quarantines them. Consternation prevailed among hotelkeepers today as a result of the police action against the three hotels.
The Licensed Victuallers’ Association has advised licensees completely to eliminate radios from hotel bars.
