Three prominent Birmingham bookmakers have given up taking commissions for horse races and are confining their activities to the greyhounds. Thirty- five others, interviewed by a daily. paper, said their attendance at the races become unnecessary. The story of a Leeds bookmaker is typical. He attended a well-known race in Scotland and took in $7.50. He came back to a dog race in Leeds and took $160 in small bets. A He--"Do you Ike fresh fellows?" She--"Yes.
