Poolroom Men and Reformers Wage Hot Fight at Saratoga By J. 8. A. MACDONALD. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 18.—One of the Interesting sidelights to the whirl of pleasure here Just now Is the fight tho pool rooms of New York are making to obtain Information of the racing. The Jockey Club In Its compact with the anti-racing reformers agreed to kill the pool-room evil In New York by cutting off the' Information, such us the results of the races, the odds, the Jockeys, etc., which must be trans mitted by telephone or telegraph. The reformers In lieu of this promised not To wage a fight for legislative enact ment against betting on the race tracks in the state of New York: * The first thing the Jockey Club did was to refuse the sending of race re sults over the wires running from the trackslde telegraph office. The pool room agents were debarred from en- Thcn the rooms In New York estab lished an organization and collect*}JJ campaign fund. Up to the Saratoga meeting they have been getting tht. stuff wanted by a system of runners from inside the course to a near-by telephone.

New York, Auk. 18.—Onmencss and stability are KolnR to cut a vast amount of ice in the comtnB champion ship fist flBht between Gans and Nel- son. . . The very mention of gamencss brings the name of Nelson to the front. It was this quality that put the Battler where he Is, and, according to many it will keep him there. Nelson Is certainly a Ramer man than flans There Is a record showing bat Joe Wd in his battle with that Joe stopped in T"“~ '' ' Frank Erne, claiming that fils eye was knocked out of Its socket from a butt. Erne won because the dark gent re fused to battle further. There Is nothing In the Dane s record ... Hhnw where, and how he e\er stopped. Joe Heilmark put him to the mat seventeen times In six r" aa '*s Nelson was there at llret Ing as hard us he had been In the nrst r °Young Corbett put hltn down twice the stute; strengthened by the decla ration of Dr. O.

Then the rbom agent erected a high Near the pole Just outside the track. - top a platform was built and on this platform was placed a powerful tele scope. By aid of this Instrument the running of the horses and the result of the finish could be learned. Also on the platform was a battery of telephones which made possible tho rapid transmission of the news to tne rooms. The Pinkertons looked on In a mystified way when they first dis covered this ruse. They were for cut ting it down, but encountered a wrath ful owner of the property upon which the polo was hoisted, who defiantly in formed all visitors that an attempt to cut or saw the pole would bring hi* shotgun Into play. He had leased the land to the pool rooms. Then the Jockey Club gave him three times the value of the little lot and down came the pole. Not to lie outdone, the pool room people are now employing a small cap tive balloon which soars Just above where the pole stood some days ago. Home one fired u bullet Into the big gns bag on last Tuesday and down cume the huge affair In a Jumble of wire and silk. At this date the battle of wits Is about a.draw. In their fight". The Dane got up and knocked the Denverite out cold on both occasions. Terry McGovern, whose terrific slam has downed more comers than any other in the world, did not even rattle the gent from Hegeswlch when they fought. Terry landed at least live or six times flush on the Jnw with Ills right, hut he might Just as well have thrown It up In the ulr. It had the same effect and the question now Is, will (Ians have necessary soak to put the Dane out for keeps. • Gans Is the clevcrifct, coolest and most accurate man In the world, but will his slam stop that rushing gent from Hegeswlch? Gans will not be the aggressor In this battle. He will not do tho forcing over n minute, and If his punch Is lacking, his heart will soon depart.
