Excftable members of the Turf Alliance are sun
tuning over what they call the unwsrran'ed acuon OF
the Jockey clubs In cutting them OH nom Detung
privileges Cool heads like Henry scdeAer Mike
Murray and Lucien Appleby say little They are con
tent to await further developments The Alliance
cannot take Official action In the matter because the
S~cksy clubs did not see fit inform IL of their adop
ton Of the resolution against bcosnakers associations
and members thereof This intentional oversight mas
caused moro ill-feeling than the resolution Itself
BY ignoring the existence OF the Turf Aiiance inc
olubs have placed themselves In an absolutely indie
psndent position. Any advance that may be made
toward q reconciliation must come from The doom
makers This is CALLING to their pride.
Colonel NJ Lewis Clark president of the Louis
villa Jockey Club comes in for fair share of abuse
ct the fremont Club. BY some he Is
held responsible for the existing situation OF
Affairs, his ceaseless conflict with the western
Bookmakers' Association being fresh in the minds
Of all penculcrs. said one of his critics last night :;
Lewis Clark is at the bottom of all this. He has
talked the to his side and made them
do Is he liked The truth about Mr. Clark is that he
got a race track down In Kentucky that no thinks IS
first class everybody knows that IT. Amt even third
class He wants $4,000 for betting privileges that
amt worth $1,000 That's what's the matter with
Lewis Clark
