Some Humorous State
mentS as to Pools
in Jersey.
is THERE A JOCKEY aOOD00 7.
Dug an a Bone Of Contention Be-
tween Rival Trainers.

From present appearances 1t seems pretty
nearly certain that ElZabeth's Spring meeting
viii open on April 10, whether the question Of
betting In New Jersey 10 or is not settled.
Michael Dwyer, President Of the New Jersey
Jockey Club, was interviewed by q reporter
yesterday, ana some Of his utterances, II the
reporter has quoted him correctly, are rather
humorous. Mr.. Dwyer says he viii certainly
race. Regarding betting he is quoted as saying:
90 We will have bookmakers at the track and
the people can rest assured that II they want
to bet at the track they can do so without any
fear Of interference or arrest. TIE book
makers will flock over to the track in as largo
numbers as heretofore. and they will be as-
sured that they will no. be molested.
We will in no way violate the laws
of New jersey. l have not been IDLE since I
came home and have found q way OF getting
around the betting question. Under the pres
ent New Jersey laws it Is an offense to make
or record bets In betting ring. but there ia no
stipulation whatever that prohibits Us from
allowing betting to take place on the lawn"
Pool-room keepers are in high state OF ex-
element over q report that the Grand Jury
has handed in forty-nine indictments against
as many rooms. The warrants will be exc
cuted within day or so. it is said, and pool
room keepers have already arranged for CIV
ing bail IL arrested. II the rumor II true,
there will be very Interesting fight
Fred Tarars singularly bad luck with his
mounts lately have set turfmen to wondering
whether some one hasn't placed q hoodoo on
that popular Jockey. It is certainly queer how
bad luck will follow a man. II will be remem-
bered that Garrison. when he rode for Bel
mont, was singularly unfortunate, and failed
TO win one OF his first fifteen mounts.
George Taylor, when riding for the Dwyers,
had some twenty-six mounts before he landed
winner. Last Summer, Marty Bergen
seemed 10 strike q streak OF bad luck and
for q long while he failed to score WIN.
Something will happen soon to break the
hoodoo and then look out for a stseak of
winning mounts.
