THE CASE OF GARRISON.
HIS CHANCES OF REINSTATEMENT.

wEIGHTY MATTERS FOR THE BOARD OF CONTROL
THE pooLRooMs NAY CAUSE RUPTURE
PETER DE LAcy's SIDE OF THE
TGHT-Hrs ATTITUDE TOWARD
JOHN A. NORRIS.
The little unpleasantness between Philip Dwyer
and Peter De Lacy will continue but three more days
as the Gravesend meeting ends on Wednesday IL Is
not Enown yet whether John A. Norris who recently
returned from Europe will oppose the poorooms or
not. Mr.. Dwyer has been DESTROYS OF meeting the
owner Of the wescheser track in order 10 have TINS
matter settled. but Mr.. Morris has kept away from
Gravesend. Somebody said that he was lodging MS
fellow members OF the board of control, who needed
INN to make quorum. Important matters are await
ing the boards action. The question OF GaTrison's
reinstatement is to be considered and Mr. Dwyer VIII
probably force debate the poolroom war. Bo'h
Of these issues certain members of the board are more
than anxious TO dodge.
So far MS Garrison is concerned, a majority OF the
board have expressed themselves as in favor OF ms
reinstatement Mr.. Withers has always stood by mm'
and II leaked out, In fact that the Sage OF BROOK
dale was the Jockeys only friend at the investigation
that ended in the suspension Of his license MT MOTIFS
was extremely bitter In his opposition TO GARRISON
So was Philip Dwyer John Hunter and James Gal

again.

Garrison is suspended. Hamilton has gone to pieces
and rides like stable boy. There's only one Jockey
now In America-Taral."
Mr. Morriss feeling against Garrison was caused
mainly by the St. Floran accident at Sheepshead Bay
when the one-eyed colt was thrown over the FENCE
He has never ceased to believe that the snapper was

willing TO give Garrison another trial Mr. Lawrence
ia Wiling Mr.. Hunter is willing, Mr. Galway is willing
II vote on the question Of reinstatement should be
taken there would not be more than two noes, unless
the board should continue to humor Mr. MOTIFS by
letting him have his own way.
These lines are no defence of Garrison. They are
merely statements OF fact Day after day the report
goes out that the Snapper" has been rensated or IS
going be- 1t is just well to let the real situation
be known.
As for the poolreom matter, the board may find 1t
the rock upon which there Will be great split. The
war has been waged with relentless vgor by Phillp
Dwyer alone In the spring he received from his
colleagues promises Of support but they were not hi
filed. The Coney Island Jockey Club could not for
political lift its hand against the IaInmany
"heelers" who make up the army Of poolroomkeepers
Mr. Morris had other for not closing his gates
against them. So Philip Dwyer left In the lurch
HE will be left again. The poolroOm forces VIII run
riot over Morris Park this autumn, just they did in
tho spring and summer. If Mr.. Morris dared he would
support Mr.. Dwyer. He has love for the poorooms
More than once after two months OF calm reflection on
the matter, he confessed TO the writer:
al realize that we made great mistake in not
supporting the Dryers in their on the poolrooms
BY not doing so losing $4,000 day"
But heavy, heavy" hangs over Mr. Morriss head
Remember Peter De Lacy's threat:
"If he (Morrs) attempts TO fight me I'll close every
policy shop in New York; there won't be lottery
ticket sold from Harlem to the Battery. I'd like to
fight John a. Morris. He has something What do
care about fighting the Dryers What's TO be gained
by fight with couple Of Irishmenl Morris is the
sort of fellow 1 would like to get at. know just
where TO strike to make him squeal. In twenty-four
hours l could raise regiment that would wipe his
racetrack of the face Of the earth"
This last figure OF speech may not be clearly under
for Bay Ridge.
"Going TO the races ~ he was asked
"Pn be outside the grounds he said.
"Why not 20 insidel Didn't Mr. Dwyer give you

Il did not call on him for any interview. was

"No, thank you. have business the outside.
