The action of a referee at recent
meeting in Philadelphia in allowing the
scratch men to ride in the final without
qualifying for the same in the trial
heats was taken up by the board, and
amendments to the racing rules adopted
that will prevent any such action in
future.
1t has been known for some time that
the racing board were considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of appointing official timers
and also investigating the wisdom of
continuing the present method of rum
ming championship events. AS regards
official timers, it has been decided not to
appoint them this season, owing to late
ness. The matter Is recommended to
the next board with the suggestion that
such system be adopted. Official dec
laration is made that the present SyS-
TEN of championships open to winners
of division championship only is not the
most desirable msthod, and the recon-
mendatlOn made that they be thrown
upon to the world. 1t has been decided
not to sanction bicycle races scheduled
for Sundays.
COrbett placed somewhat different
framework about the picturesque meet
ing. He said he proposed to name the
match in the place where there was the
most money, either befSre any liberal
athletic club or in the Manhattan Ath-
letic club house, he said he
would agree to the terms of the
fight and stop his man i'll that time
for purse of $1,000. But he wished to
have the decision, in case he had
the best of it in four rounds,
whether he stopped Mccartney or
not. In other words, he would
donate $1,000 to Mccartney in case he
did not knock him out in four rounds,
but asked that purse of $1,000 be made
up for the man who got the better OF
the field, whether Knockout or not.
This McCaffrey would not listen to.
He insisted on fighting in the Manhat-
tan Athletic club, and that it should be
a Knockout in four rounds or nothing.
