ILLEGAL BETTING
PENAL MEASURES IN NEW SOUTH WALES. PROFESSIONAL TIPSTERS OUTLAWED. SYDNEY, August 5. The New South Wales Government's efforts to curb illegal, otherwise starting-price betting, which is reported to exercise a terrific hold throughout the State, is reflected in new legislation introduced in the Legislative Assembly today. The penal clauses of the new Bill provide a maximum fine of .£lOO for a first offence and £5OO for a second offence. The Bill will also prevent the broadcasting of betting odds and totalisator dividends before the running of the last race. The printing and publication of documents or newspapers bj' professional tipsters will be an offence punishable by a heavy fine. Legitimate newspapers, however, may continue to publish race forecasts in the form of ordinary news.
