A DEAD HEAT BETWEEN MIDsrAR AND ALBERT


FEATURES OF THE DAYS SPORT
After a storm comes n calm. which is often ac-
companied by heavy rolling swell. The rolling
swell was in evidence at jerome Park yesterday. as
the racegoers talked about nothing else but the
Glenmoyne disqualification The stewards ordered
that no torn tickets should be paid unless the per-
sons presenting them identified. Strange to
ed'e nearly all OF the torn missing tickets
presented TO the cashiers. although many persons
presented tickets that did not belong TO them.

ana the right sort of bait is used. The successful
fishermen for sharks angled the Grand Central
Station yesterday before the trains started for
jerome Park. They were dressed car-cleaners
and used phony' Stonenell tickets for bait. ono

up and ask to see the ticket. The victim generally
demurred but the car-cleaner would say: Let
him see It," The usual termination OF the affair
was that the well-dressed young man would go into
partnership with the victim and secure the ticket
for one-haf its face value. thereby making $50 on
the investment The wel-dressed young man would
lose himself In the crowd and assist In landing the
next shove-nose that took the bait When 1t came

IL Is sad that so many racegoers view the de-
cisions Of racing officials with distrust Why can
not the average racegoer look upon dead heats and
disquaHhcdtons as peculiar series OF singular
condolences. and not make fuss about trivial
matters? The least that raccgoers can or ought TO
