was to their interests to say that all trainers were disloyal to their
owners, and that jockeys pulled their horses. A friend of his this
year out of curiosity subscribed to one of the most notorious of these
tipsters. He wrote to say that he was not satisfied with the result, that
he had expected some more reliable and exclusive information for his
money, that he could not go on subscribing for such bad tips. The man
replied with a long rigmarole to the effect that the horses had been
fancied and backed by their owners, but that they raced most peculiarly,
and added, ‘but what could they do when the jockeys who rode them would
not let them show their true form.’ This tipster advertised largely; he
had hundreds and probably thousands of clients, and if he had written in
a similar strain to many of these foolish creatures, was it not easy to
understand why small owners and trainers were made out to be rogues. I am
sure,” said Lord Durham with emphasis, “there is not an honest man on the
turf who will not agree that these tipsters and their circulars should be
suppressed. I would commend the example of the _Truth_ newspaper, which
for some years has most zealously denounced some of the most notorious
of these wretches. I am certain I have made a speech which will not be
very highly eulogised by the sporting press, but if I have on my side
some of those honourable and straightforward sporting writers to whom I
have alluded as being too few in number to counteract the evil of the
majority, I will bear with equanimity any adverse criticism” (_Yorkshire
Herald_, December 10, 1904).
The following extracts from _Truth_, February 11, 1904, will serve to
emphasise the accuracy of Lord Durham’s observations:—
_Turf Tipsters, Betting Agents, and System-mongers_
Whether one agrees or not with Lord Beaconsfield’s uncompromising
condemnation of the Turf as a vast engine of national demoralisation, it
is impossible to deny that the racing world provides an exceptionally
fertile field for the practice of fraud and trickery that is akin to
fraud. Nowhere else do knaves prey upon fools so easily, so safely, and
so profitably. Take first the case of the tipsters. It is well within
the mark to say that nine-tenths of these gentry live by lying. If
they did not tell lies they could not sell their tips. Many of them
circulate absolutely fictitious lists of winners that they have found,
and practically all of them make pretences as to the sources of their
information and the infallibility of their prophecies that they know to
be false. If their judgment or prevision enabled them to foresee the
results of races with the consistency that they claim, it stands to
reason that they would not be offering to sell tips to all and sundry
when, however small their capital at starting, they might be piling up a
fortune by backing horses for themselves. But this obvious consideration
never crosses the mind of the gullish herd of backers. No story of his
successes that a tipster puts forward is too steep for them, and as fast
as one lot of dupes is disillusioned he gets another. The following is
a list of some of the false prophets of the Turf whom I have pilloried
during the past twelve months:—
E. W. BESTON, Birmingham.—During the flat-racing season, which
is also the principal flat-catching season, this individual
issues a weekly paper called the _Midland Referee_, nominally
priced at sixpence, but sent out gratuitously, in which
vituperative attacks upon rival tipsters are mingled with
extravagant puffs of “Dan Bruce,” “Miss Flossie Beresford,”
“Percy Macdonald,” “James Brown,” “Reginald Vernon,” “Walter
Hooley,” “George Leslie,” “George Graham,” “E. Allsopp,”
“Hugh Owen,” “George Westwood,” etc. All these are aliases
under which Beston himself carries on business as a tipster
from a number of accommodation addresses in Birmingham and
the neighbourhood. He bamboozles people into buying his tips
not only through the medium of the _Midland Referee_, but
by means of advertisements in his various aliases in many
English and Irish newspapers, and by extensive distribution of
circulars through the post. Not long since I gave a case in
which a greenhorn paid Beston as “Flossie Beresford” £3 for
twenty sixpenny telegrams containing forty predictions, of
which only four came off! It is unnecessary to cite examples
of the unblushing mendacity of this Protean rascal, or to
describe in detail the artful dodges that he practises,
but one ramp that he carried out last October is worthy of
notice. Besides the _Midland Referee_, Beston publishes the
_Winning Guide_ and other rags which he represents as sporting
journals. In October, some days before the Cesarewitch was
run, advertisements appeared announcing that a specimen copy
of the _Secret Special_, containing a “certainty” for that
handicap, would be sent free to any applicant. The copies so
supplied were dated the Monday before the Cesarewitch, but were
not posted in Birmingham till the following Wednesday evening,
three or four hours after the race had been run. It is easy
to prophesy after the event, and these copies of the _Secret
Special_ named the outsider which won the Cesarewitch. But
Beston knows his public, and no doubt many mugs, too obtuse to
see that this wonderful “tip” had been printed when the race
was over, were bagged as subscribers to the _Secret Special_—a
mere tipster’s circular—at 5s. a week.
FRED COBB, 6 Ludgate Arcade, E.C.—Styles himself the “manager”
of a diminutive tipster’s publication called the _Peerless
Special_, for which subscriptions are invited at the rate of
5s. a copy, or £5: 5s. for the racing season. On at least one
occasion last season he circulated specimen copies which,
though dated before, were printed after an important race,
thereby enabling him to give the name of the winner. When he
really does “tip” prior to a race Cobb is less successful. In
one number of the _Peerless Special_ he gave fourteen horses,
and among the whole lot there was not a solitary winner.
MACDONALD, 14 Whitcomb Street, Pall Mall.—Publishes a small
four-page tipster’s sheet entitled the _Turf Pioneer_, besides
supplying “guarantee wires” and “invincible daily telegrams.”
One number of the _Turf Pioneer_ named six horses for races
that week. Five of them never started; the sixth was beaten.
FRED RICKABY, 45 Regent Square, Brighton.—Nine losers out
of ten selections was this prophet’s record one week;
nevertheless, he at once issued a circular in quest of fresh
customers, claiming that he had given seven winners and only
three losers.
“R. ORMONDE AND CO.,” 14 New Street, Birmingham.—Represent
themselves as “part owners of several useful horses,” and
specially circularise such persons as the “head boots” at
hotels.
CHARLES ROBINSON, Smith Street, Epsom.—Refers in his circulars
to that “estimable journal, _Truth_,” but, needless to say,
does not mention my warnings against Charles Robinson.
ARTHUR MACCALL, Archdale House, Marlborough Road, St. John’s
Wood.—Offers to return the money paid by any one dissatisfied
with his tips. Having paid 20s. for five wires, all “wrong
’uns,” a victim asked for the return of that sum. MacCall
replied by sending a circular bragging of his “march of
triumph,” and offering more wires at the same price!
“V. VEE,” Morion House, Newmarket.—Pretends to be an owner of
race-horses. There is reason to believe that “V. Vee” is an
alias of the above-mentioned Arthur MacCall.
“JOHN KINGFIELD,” otherwise “Frank Foreman,” the Post Office,
——.—Through the supineness of the Postmaster-General, this
travelling tipster is allowed to use the Post Office in
different towns where races are being held as an accommodation
address.
M. B. PIZZEY, Heath Villa, Ascot.—This tipster formerly owned
a number of race-horses, but owing to exposures in _Truth_ the
Jockey Club forced him to give up his ownership under a threat
of being “warned off” the Turf. Now an ordinary touting tipster.
“ARTHUR MORDAUNT,” Oak Villa, Ascot.—Pizzey under another name.
“CAPTAIN” W. GOUGH, Chavey Down, Bracknell, Berks.—Supposed to
be connected with Pizzey.
—— KEEBLE, H.M. Prison, Wormwood Scrubbs.—Now serving six
months’ hard labour for fraudulently offering tips in the
name of Mr. W. H. Schwind, an owner. Another rascal last year
perpetrated a similar swindle by assuming the name of Mr.
Sievier.
HOBDAY, 3 Bridge Avenue Mansions, Hammersmith.—An ornament
of the profession who, having backed his own tips and lost,
pleaded the Gaming Act when the confiding bookmaker sued him.
J. ALEXANDER, 5 New Turnstile, W.C.—A trickster pretending that
he works “for a gentleman who has made a fortune out of the
Turf.”
H. SINCLAIR, _The Excelsior_.—Sends out under this title a tiny
sheet containing “tips” of races run two or three hour’s before
it was posted, the object being to secure subscribers for a
“daily wire service.”
ARTHUR CRADDOCK, 16 Air Street, Piccadilly.—Distributes tips
by circular unsolicited, and when he chances to name a winner
forwards another circular demanding “remuneration.”
H. HIBBERT, Florinda Villa, Stevenage Road, Fulham.
L. RIVERS, 1 Conway Cottages, Lower Station Road, Newmarket.
J. J. KIRK, Southwick, and 115 Queen’s Road, Brighton.
MANSER, 123 Holloway Road, London.
Old-fashioned race-course welshing is, I believe, not quite so prevalent
as it used to be. The up-to-date welsher adopts a less hazardous plan
of campaign. Instead of running the gauntlet of an angry mob on the
race-course, he does his swindling more sedately in an office, where he
is out of the reach of his victims. Calling himself a commission agent
or a Turf accountant, he advertises in the Press or sends out circulars
inviting backers to open accounts with him. When they lose he takes their
money; when they win he refuses to pay up. I cannot say that I have any
sympathy for the greenhorns who are plundered by these bandits of the
Turf. There are plenty of bookmakers who carry on their business in a
perfectly honest and straightforward manner. But a man is not necessarily
one of this class because he sends out a speciously-worded circular
from an office in the West End or elsewhere; and if people will be so
stupid as to open betting accounts on the strength of such circulars,
knowing nothing of the party with whom they are dealing beyond what he
has himself told them, it seems to me that they need the lesson they
are pretty certain to receive. The following are circularising betting
agents who have come under my notice during the past year:—
JOHN FENWICK AND CO., 167 Piccadilly.—A defaulter.
G. H. CHARDSON, 25 Wellington Street, Strand.—A defaulter.
CHARLES KITTELL, 21 Copthall Avenue, E.C.—A defaulter.
FLOYD MCDERMOTT AND SCOTT, 58 Gillett Row, Thornton
Heath.—Defaulters.
S. RUSSELL.—A welsher whose address is frequently changed.
Describes himself in his circulars as “member of Tattersall’s
Ring.”
GEORGE SILKE, 3 James Street, Haymarket.—A defaulter.
Represents himself as a member of Tattersall’s, which is untrue.
“MALLARD AND CO.” and “GEORGE SHAW,” 10 Dawes Street,
S.W.—Names used by a swindler whose only known address is a
small shop where letters are taken in for him.
EDGAR AND CO., 24 Trevor Square, Knightsbridge.—Sharps whose
impudent method of “doing” a customer out of a considerable sum
of money I exposed last October.
HARRY WILLIAMS, Piccadilly Circus Mansions, 67a Shaftesbury
Avenue, W.—Upon being asked to pay an account a week after the
settling day, Williams refused to pay at all, on the ground
that an application for the money was an “impertinence.”
ALEC A. HARRIS AND CO., Agra, Gresham Road, Staines.—This
is seemingly an alias chosen to induce incautious backers
to believe that they are dealing with Alex. Harris, a
well-known and highly-respected bookmaker. Needless to say,
Mr. Alex. Harris is not in any way connected with this shady
starting-price office at Staines.
C. B. RAE, 12 Duke Street, S.W.—Before he blossomed forth as a
touting bookmaker this individual, whose real name is Sydney
Reed, practised as a solicitor and was implicated in a cruel
fraud.
ROBERT ADAMSON, Disraeli Gardens, Putney.—A harpy who tries
to bribe club servants into furnishing him with the names of
likely gulls.
J. GORDON YOUNGLY, Bedford Hotel Chambers, Covent
Garden.—States in his circulars that “your name as a sportsman”
has been given to him by “Mr. T. Forrester, 21 London Street,
E.C.” This is an accommodation address, and “Mr. T. Forrester”
is apparently J. Gordon Youngly under another name.
C. BENNETT, King William Street, E.C.—Professes to have Army
officers and City merchants for his clients, but specially
circularises “the coachman” at country houses.
With an infantile ingenuousness which is little short of downright
idiocy, people are found ready not only to credit the existence of
infallible systems of betting, but to hand over their cash without the
least security to any stranger undertaking to “invest” it in the working
of such a system. Most of the gentry whose prospectuses promise fabulous
profits upon “investments” of this kind are much too astute to attempt to
work any system of betting. They simply put the money in their pockets,
and in due course inform the investor that owing to an unexampled run of
bad luck the system has failed:—
A. JACKSON AND CO., The Hague, Holland.—Invites people to
trust him with money for investment upon any one of a series
of “systems” explained in his prospectus. If the system chosen
happens to show a profit for a few days, Jackson declines
to return the capital or pay over the winnings, sticking to
the money till it has been (as he alleges) lost. One mug
sent Jackson £100, and in the first week won (on paper) £56.
Ignoring his orders to stop, Jackson went on working (or
pretending to work) the system for another fortnight, by which
time the £156 had all disappeared. An action was then brought
and Jackson pleaded the Gaming Act.
BEVAN, SON, AND THOMPSON, Delft, Holland.—Promoters of turf
sweepstakes, and suspected of being identical with the
above-mentioned Jackson.
BROWN, BELL, AND CO., 18 Featherstone Buildings, W.C.—Ordinary
system-mongering sharps.
C. WOOD, 148 Old Street, E.C.—Advertises in the daily papers
that “£5 invested pays £1 weekly,” and offers shares in a
syndicate for backing first favourites. The syndicate’s capital
is always lost, and Wood goes on his way rejoicing at the
gullibility of the public.
J. L. AUCKLAND, 132 Kilmorie Road, Crofton Park.—By way of
variation upon the more familiar first favourite system, this
scoundrel pretends to use his dupes’ money in backing “the last
horse quoted” in the betting returns published in the press the
day after a race. A transparent fraud, as in nine races out of
ten it is impossible for anybody to know beforehand which of
several outsiders starting at the same price will be “the last
horse quoted” in the betting returns next day.
FOSTER, NASH, AND CO., 37 Graveney Road, London, S.W.—Another
swindler practising precisely the same trick as J. L. Auckland.
The following are proprietors of illegal racing lotteries whose
operations have been noticed in _Truth_:—
DORMICE AND CO., Middelburg, Holland.—The alias of D.
Mackenzie, proprietor of _Sporting Luck_. Runs racing
sweepstakes in connection with which grave doubts have arisen
as to the genuineness of the alleged distribution of the
principal prizes.
J. H. ADAMS, Middelburg.—In the same line of business as
Dormice and Co.

The following are taken from a day’s selections—January 7, 1905—and show
how the tips for hurdle-racing are even more unreliable than those for
flat-racing:—
GATWICK MEETING (Six Races).
London Star { 6 selections
(Capt. Coe’s Specials) { —all wrong.
Middleham Opinion { 3 selections (one “best thing”)
(Mentor) { —all wrong.
The Jockey { 5 selections (one “special”)
{ —all wrong.
Racehorse (Admiral) { 1 selection (“one horse nap”)
{ —wrong.
Early Bird’s Finals { 6 selections (one “good,” one “selected”)
{ —all wrong.
Sun Dawn’s Finals { 6 selections (one “good”)
{ —1 right (_not_ the “good”).
Form’s Finals { 6 selections
{ —2 right.
Presto’s Double { Double selection for two races
{ —wrong.
Sunday Chronicl. { 4 selections
(Galliard) { —all wrong.
Sunrise’s Finals { 6 selections
{ —all wrong.
Victor’s Finals { 6 selections (one “nap,” one “good”)
{ —1 right (neither “nap” nor “good”).
Yorkshire Herald { 6 selections (one “starred”)
(Yorkshireman) { —all wrong.
Yorkshire Press { 6 selections (one “special”)
(Ivanhoe) { —2 right (_not_ the “special”).
Result { 6 right.
{ 57 wrong.
There are many examples of the inaccuracy of sporting tips in the
evidence of the Select Committee on Betting. The best are given below:—
REV. J. W. HORSLEY’S EVIDENCE
(_a_) Manchester: out of 40 selected winners, not a single one
was right.
(_b_) Seven sporting papers gave 79 horses: in 74 cases their
predictions were wrong.
(_c_) Case of the _Standard_, which selected 179 horses for 148
races: 155 were wrong, and 24 right.
(_d_) In 7 races the chief sporting papers gave in one week 45
horses, of which 40 were wrong; again, they gave 47 horses, of
which only 1 was right.
(_e_) In one month the chief sporting papers gave 898 horses
for 156 races, out of which 777 lost.—_Vide_ p. 183 of Report.
THE DUKE OF PORTLAND AND TIPSTERS
The Duke of Portland sent £7: 14s. to thirteen sporting
prophets. Four of these sent him 35 losers and 1 winner.—_Vide_
p. 186 of Report.
