38. Defaulters. — No person shall be allowed to enter or run 

 a greyhound, in his own or any other person's name, who is a 

 defaulter for either stakes, forfeits, or bets, or for money due under 

 an arrangement for a division of winnings, or for penalties regularly 

 imposed for the infraction of rules by the stewards of any meeting, 

 or for any payment required by a decision of the National Coursing 

 Club, or for subscriptions due to any club entitled to have repre- 

 sentatives in the National Coursing Club. As regards bets, how-

 the secretary of the National Couirsing Club within six months

 to any pecuniary penalty to which he may be liable, be declared

 Coursing Club may decide upon ; and any dogs under his care, 

 training, management, or superintendence, shall be disqualified 

 during such subsequent period. 



41. Bets. — All bets upon an undecided course shall stand
