Eastern Turf Officials Overlook Crooked Deals TILSON WINS THE HANDICAP PLAYS EAST LAKE GOLF C0URG* IN 92 STROKES—SAM WIL- LIAMS IS SECOND. By J. S. A. MACDQNALD, New York, Nov. A—Pursuing their nsusl .policy of sacrificing ft gnat to frighten an •lspbant, the booblah stewarda of the Jockey Club meted out a dose of nn usual severity to Bob Rogers, owner of Garnish, last Tuesday. Rogers was ruled off the turf altogether with bis trainer, John Wil son. In the race where Radtke Is alleged to hive pulled Tommy Waddell, Garnish ■won In s gallop with certain Interests lu • the bettlug ring playing Rogers' horse ns If lit were all over but the formal Interview | with the cashiers after the finish. In 'round words, the stewards concluded the ■race was a clever and comprehensive “shoo ||n M for Garnish. To make Garnish particu larly fit for the Job, Rogers Is charged with having "doped” hi* horse. Hence, under the rules. Rogers and his outfit earned a jlife expulsion from all the race tracks un der the Jurisdiction of the Jockey Club. Among the smart ^Insiders," Radtke, thinking to propitiate the gods In his favor, Is understood to have ’ "fcaned up" to the Jockey Clyb. This sort of state's evidence will probtbly save the Jockey. But what the thinking men of the turf want to know in connection with this unsavory In cident Is a* to the reason why the stewards passed over a hundred or so mow flagrant Instances of turf trickery without so much as a word of warning or the least Inquiry as to the circumstances of existing condi tions. only to wait to the eleventh hour of the season and then to level their guns upon a poor and comparatively unknown owner from the West. Rome critics say August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club, who makes at least 42.000.000 every year out of his New York rare track hold ings, Is much disturbed by the scandal talk In the newspapers this past summer con cerning the coups and tho smart denis of the big plungers. Afraid of Now Laws. The upstate riifnllsts heard about It and a growing sentiment against ndtfng com menced to threaten the stability of the metropolitan turf and eouseqiipiitly Bel mont's rich yielding race track enterprises. "A stop to this grafting must Ik* made," the chairman of the Jockey Club Is reported to have said at the recent meeting of the stew ards. Then Rogers was selected an the sue-1 riflee In order to frighten the big evil doers. At Saratoga last August Fred Johnson, son of a wealthy real estate oi>erator of the Bronx, New York, started Aeronaut, ruling at 8 to 5, and with the public down, hook. Hue and sinker, Ferrlne gave the choice such a jerk that he and the owner would have been ruled off before Aerouaut. had reached the stewarda' Inclosure to weigh in had the scene heou laid nt the New Or leans fair grounds with Frank J. Bryan lu the staud. From that day to this notblug has been heard of the nffnlr. The exhibition Jqckey "Willie" Straw gave with Electioneer In the Flatbush ■takes, and again the mysterious form dis played by Fountalnbleu under Jockey ’Jack" Martin In the same event, are today public scundals. More thuu one'club house patron runs his horses Just to suit his betting inclinations and regardless of the public Interests or the ethics of the sport. Hundreds of horses* are "doped" every week, and the most barefaced "shooin'* are common occurrences. Some Muck-Raking. ■The form displayed by the horse Angler, nwund by "Mattie" Corbett, a big club house operator, Is another sore spot In the hide of the average regular while In the jumping races, Buttner was openly accused In the public press of having manipulated El Ciicliilo In n race where the rank and fllo bettors lost thousands and thousands of. dollars to this horse In a race, nt Brighton Beach Inst July. Not a single mem tier of the Nations T Hunf and Kleeplo- chase Association was Iti the stewards' stand nt the time. Hence the framers got away with n disgraceful deni. Considering all this, and more, too. the drastic treat ment of Rogers Is somewhat Inconsistent, though the crime deserves iho penalty Ini* pvxed. It nppenrif the stewards nt sev eral meetings about New York are mainly gentlemen who serve In a "complimentary" fashion. As a matter of fact-, with the exception of Chris J. Fitzgerald. Frank'J. Hryini and Clarence McDowell, there Is not a single practical and exiiert racing man In the stewards' stand from one sensou end to another, t/uMI August Belmont decides to adopt the Western Idea of em ploying the most competent, thorough and .lulmpeaelinble officials available, cost what It may. he will always have scandal In New York racing.

The brilliant work of tho Princeton line is well shown in the photo graph. The Tiger forwards have so misled their opponents that the latter, expecting the full to go down this end, have left the other side unprotected Several Changes Possible in Southern League Circuit Homebody bus sprung this "cbange-iit-t.be- Southern-League-cIrcult" story about one month and a half too soon. Is not considered the best form In sporting circles to use that story before the league meeting Is over. What In the world nre baseball writers going to do for material during tho-"dead ly season" between January 1 ami Febru ary 15, If nil the old reliable stories nre used up whllo football Is nu available space filler? However, the story is going the rounds. Even the Montgomery papers have takeu notice of It, and It would not he surprising If Mhrcveport fell for It liefore long. It looks a hit, though, as If there might really lie a change lu the preseut South ern League circuit. When a fight was on to get Shreve port nud Little Rock out of the circuit, they were both so strong for sticking that It did not look ns though dynamite could blow them out of the league. When the Atlnuta team was In Little Rock In August, the writer talked the mitt- ter over wlTli the backers of the dub, and not a mau of them would ndnilt that there was any chance that Little Rock would not Ik* represented lu the Southern League next year. But now times have changed. Howl after howl Is going up from the Arkansas backeis of Ihe worst financial proposition In the league, and It looks ns though the whole bunch was ready to quit. Where Mike Comes In. Maybe the flue Eyetnllau hand of one M. J. "Phlnn" might In* detected at tho tmttom of this somewhere. This exponent of radiant geulnlity Is on the scene. What he is doing on the scene nobody has said, but It Is Inferred that he Is "laying low." This Is a chronic occupntlou with Mike during the chilly periods. Also maybe he Is starting a bear move ment against the stock of the Little Rock club. It has been Insinuated that Mike would like a franchise. Just why nnybody should like one In Little Rock Is hard for some of us to understand. But then, there Is no net-minting for tastes. If the present loml series of yells pushes dowu tho price of the stock fur cuotigh. Mike may emerge from underneath a rapid buying movement with the majority of stock lu his possession. But Just now the talk Is that Chnttauooga Is going io buy a franchise, mid It Is stated with all posltlveucss that lrntli Little Rock and Montgomery nre willing to sell. That Johnny Hobbs and Hammy Strang (Nlckliu) want a Southern League fmtieblsu for Chnttauoogn has long been known. Hammy Strang, wrote President Kavnnangh to that effect last August, and be has not changed hte mind. Since Little Rock wants to sell and- Chat tanooga wants to buy, there ought to bu n "dicker." But 4f the Little Rock franchise should go to Chattanooga, what of Shreveport? Think of the thing geographically. With Little Rock and ‘Shreveport both In the league. It Is sometimes possible for a team which makes the trip to the "far west” to break nearly even. Blit with only one town west of the Mississippi river In the league, every trip ncross the "Idg brook" would he n dead loss—and a big loss nt that. One thing Is practically certain—v\hen Little Rock goes out of the league, Shreve port goes, too. m Montgomery Going? So about the only chance for a change seems to be for Chattanooga to buy the Montgomery franchise. This would not shorten the Jumps much, but It might help some. It Is unfortunate that there cun not be a new baseball deal through the South, all the towns In tin* bnigtie could only go back In the puck, be thoroughly mixed, nud then let a new drawing take place It would help an awful lot. As It Is, the throe R rmnliieiit baseball orgaulzati.Mis of the outli— the Southern, South Atlantic mid Cotton States leagues—are poorly balanced. All of them have cities lit their circuit which nre too large for the league, nud all of them have cities which nre too small. An arrangement which would give the Southern League nil the "Idg towns" would be the best for nil. Even the smaller leagues would be benefited by losing the towns which are so large that they set a pace which the others can not follow. Any way., there Is the prospect that there may'be some changes lu n circuit to think about Ik*tween the present time and the nnuunl Southern League meetlug on December 15. •MHIttMtHHItllHK MAJORS ONCE BUT MINORS NOW* No Truth in Report That Tulane Will Quit 5.

A few days ago the report went the ronnds that the Tulane university of New Orleans was going to leave the Southern lntsrrollegiate Athletic Association nt the end of tlte present football season.

It Is admitted thnt a number of the .students wnnt to withdraw from the Inter- (collegiate association, but they nre said (to not represent the great volume of senti ment In the big school, and what they fblnk is not likely to govern the action of the college’s committee on athletics. The (opposition of these students to the South- Jern Intercollegiate Athletic Association Is said to have arisen from tin* election front the ranks of Joubert and Ivetta, base ball players, last year.
