GOSSIP OF THE TURF.


The Galway story, printed exclusively
in 'The Evening World" yesterday, was
undoubtedly the most surprising turf
news that has cropped out in many days.
1t was the best thing that could have
happened for Mr. Galway and Mr.. Apple
by and indirectly for the other persons
interested in the affairs OF the Monmouth
Park Association. 1t Is more than likely
that Mr.. Galway and Mr. Appleby will
be reimbursed; that the Monmouth Park
people will pay their just debts, and that
the turf atmosphere. in so far as this
particular affair is concerned, will be
cleared Of the miasmatic dishonesty that
has hung over 1t ever since the gates
Of Monmouth closed. 1t was shame
that the rich men who hold stock In this
| concern did not reach into their pockets
| and settle the debts of the Association.
When the men who pose as the reformers
OF the turf do not pay the money they
honestly owe to their friends and to the
men who toiled for them their reforming
efforts are to be viewed with suspicion.
All those suits against the Monmouth
| Association. brought by Van keuren.
Gerken and others have brought dis
grace upon tho men who refused to pay
the money they owed. 1t Is to the credit
Of the Dwyer brothers that they were
the first to declare their willingness to
| pay their share in settling all Claims
against the Association.
| The fact that the Monmouth Park AS
ISOLATION did not pay stakes WHICH were
won by rich men puts new phase on
the racing situation. If stop Is not
put to this sort OF business, there Is
likely to be the same DO ! get IT.. In
In,
big stakes as there Is now In the the
atrical world in regard to fat salaries
To come down to plain, everyday IAN
ing was a game Of bunco: The rich men
who embarked in the Monmouth Park
venture were in honor bound to pay
that they advertised were to be run for.
Had the meeting been successful they
would have collected the last dollar due
them That thsy shoSa Gn 'ne
Jockey Club. of which the Monmouth
Park Association is member thinks OF
learn. Reformers who do not pay. their
debts, and use their friends as victims
in game Of sharp practice. are not en-
titled to much respect on the turf or
anywhere else. The thorough airing OF
this affair can do no harm to the turf
On the contrary. II is sure to do much
good.
