biggest kind of a fight going on i'm tins
part Of The country between the racing
associations and thepool rooms in New
York. The Brighton Beach and Mon
mouth Park associations have made MP
their minds to- crowd out the pool
rooms because they think the shops
keep people away from the tracks-and
they do 90 q certain extent. To this end
tbe managers Of the tracks have made "a
Cdst-iIon rule that after the people have
entered the track enclosure. mo- one can
leave until the end Of the third race.
Al Geographic and telephone cOmmu-
uica.iOus have been cut of between
Brighton Beach aud Monmouth Park
and this city and for day OF two the
pool rooms were IN "a bad way. Then
they tried 90 get the Western I MON
Telegraph Company TO put up special
wires for their use. but the telegraph
company turned around and shook
hands with the race people. and the
result WAS a complete freeze out. not
only for be pool rooms but for the af-
tcfn0on lew spapers which print s. ort-
ing editions giving the results ~ the
tal games and the races ON the differ
ent tracks.
