Whatever chance there was Of q compro-
mise between the Brooklyn Jockey Club and
the Western Union Telegraph Company and
the city pool rooms. was dssipated by the at
titude Of Supt. W. c. Humstono Of tho Western
Union Telegraph Company on Saturday. who
positively refused to give tho race track au-
thorics one cent more than tho $1,000 paid to
tho other racing organizations. MIR. Dwyer
and his associates are equally determined. and
this week raccgoers will SEQ tho samo high
fences. towering poles. signalling operators.
and will be subjected to tho same dscomforts
as last week.
The Brooklyn Jockey Club officials take the
stand that the city pool rooms keep many per-
sons away from their track and they are UNI
doubtedly correct In their reasoning. MS nearly
one hundred of these rooms IRE nourishing in
Gotham ovory day. and all make money. They
must have large patronage in order to do
this, AS rents arc high and there are numer-
Gus stirendiarics who arc constantly holding
out their hands. 1t was agreed Inst spring
that the principal rucng associations would
make firm stand on this pool. room issue. but
the Brooklyn Jockey Club. which began tho
war. has been left to bear tho brunt OF the
fight and must end it.
The suspension of Jockey Martin Bergen's
license by the Board of Control was the princi-
pal topic among racing men about town and at
tho race track Yesterday. Mr.. ". ii. Sands. who
has Il great deal of influence over Bergen, and
who went to the post at the request Of Mr..
Caldwell for more than live weeks said ON Sat-
urday that no boy could have behaved better
than Bergen durin;, that time" Unfortunately
Mr. Sands did not keep ~ tho good work ut
Grnvescnd. and according to Starting Judge
Col. Frank Hall the boy relGpscd into his for
nor habits. Col. Hall reported him /" tho
Board of Control because ho refused - take
tho position assigned him by the judges.
but the Board must have had somc more sc-i-
Gus reason than this for the withdrawal OF his
license. Bergen's insocncc to II nan old
enough to be his grandfather will moi help his
case any. During tho past three months no
has on numerous occasions dsolcycd tn" or
dcrs given him h;' trainers who were hun'!lins
horses before Bergen was born. and In moro
