The Evening Worlds" question as to
how racing associations and the Board
OF Control would regard the new or
garizat!on Of turtmen has been an
swcrcd. III. Executive Committee of
the latter body declares that the MEM
bera of Its organization will not start
horses on track whose owners refuse
70 accept the authority of what is to be
known ms the National Jockey Club. As
the new organization Is composed of the
most prominent turfmen in the country,

some other Information which will be
interesting to racegoers.
a National Jockey club is to be or

scales and a starter are necessary. They
will be honest. experienced men ana
will be accountable to no one but the
National Jockey Club. This is as It
should be. In Years past there has as, been

the public. All of the race-track owners
