THE BOOMERANG
Tired of worrying Adelaide bookmakers for surreptitious wagering on racecourses, causing them to jump fences and play hide and seek, the police threaten to take other means of dealing with infringements of the naming Act, says the Sydney “Referee.” Any punter seen acting suspiciously m concert with a suspected bookmaker, or caught in the act of converting a wager, on the nod principle or otherwise, lends himself liable to be taken in hand, and, judging by certain action at Cheltenham, the police intend to follow out the letter of the Act, as several punters were quietly spoken to. This follows closely on the action of the clubs in preventing all telephonic communication away from the course in transmitting bets. This has resulted contrary to the official hope, inasmuch as it has stemmed much money from coming back to the totalisator from outside sources
