Abolition of Greyhound “Totes”
PUBLIC INTEREST IN ENGLAND. British Official Wireless. Received Monday, 9.50 p.xn. RUGBY, Dec. 18. The effect of yesterday’s judgment of the Lord Chief Justice' which would make the totalisator illegal at greyhound races continues to excite public interest. The totalisators were in use ac several meetings last night.
The position of the totalizator clubs is the subject of consideration, but generally it is assumed that they will be closed. No police action is likely, however, pending instructions from the Home Secretary. The law officers are slated to have the whole matter under consideration.
Editorial comment mostly welcomes the judgment as bringing to a head an unhealthy situation in wjhfch uew betting facilities were increasing under doubtful legal authority.
