JOCKEY CLUB APATHY
Will Take No Action Upon the
Constitutional Amendment.
The Matter Not Discu sed at the
Stewards Meeting.
Betting Beneath Their Dignity, but
Track Owners May Act.

1t will surprise horse owners, race
track proprietors and others interested
in racing to learn that the Jockey Club
does not propose to take any steps to
defeat the anti-gambling amendment
adopted at the recent Constitutional
Convention.
1t has all along been supposed that the
Jockey Club, pretending, as it does. to
represent the great mass of horse own
ers. would at least express its disap-
proVal of the measure which threatens
to close the gates Of every race track in
this state for an indefinite period.
a meeting OF the Jockey club Stew
ards was held last night and as the ses-
night u was believed that the obnoX-
ious amendment was the subject under
discussion.
II is denied however, by prominent
members OF the Jockey Club. that the
matter was touched upon. Nothing but
routine business, relating to the cases
Of w. c. DAILY and Alfred Lakeland
VINO were suspended for violation of
turf rules was transacted.
An Evening World" reporter called
upon James r, Keene to-day. MIR.
ksene Is one OF the wealthIest and most
influential horse owners in this country.
has thousands of dollars invested In
thoroughbreds and is the recognized
head OF the Jockey Club.
the meeting of the Jockey Club last
night any action was taken relating to
the constitutional amendments.
No. replied MIR. Keene. 1T was
not even discussed"
VIII any action he taken?'
NO We are not interested"
Mir. keene's evident lack of interest
in the matter led the reporter to call
on August Belmont, in order to learn
II this me ember OF the Jockey Club was
also indifferent.
THE Jockey Club does not intend to
take any steps to defeat the Constitu-
tional amendments. Yes, II Is true that
we are an organization of horse owners
and are vitality interested, but, neverthe-
less, the Jockey Club does not take cog
nizance of bets, and this is purely a
matter relating to betting.
1T would scarcely be dignlfed for the
Jockey Club 10 oppose an amendment to
tle Constitution designed to stop batting.
1t is purely matter for the voters, who
mus decide for themselves whether
they want gambling or not
This action on the part OF the Jockey
Club leaves the brunt of the fight to be
borne by the race-track owners 1t Is
probale that the managers of the Coney
leland, Morris Park and Brooklyn Jock
ey Clubs will come together this week
to discuss the matter.

When seen by an Evening World'
reporter. the pair said;
I'VE came over to New York day

Ing with Rusie?'
"Pfeffer says he has him all right"
was the reply.
The magnntes of the New York Base
ball club preserve their usual attitude
preferring to await developments be-
fore opening fire.
Treasurer Talcott once more reiterated
his determination not to discuss the
new baseball vision. He said:
when an overt act Is committed, be
sure we shall take no uncertain step No
player who signs with any rival organiza-
tion. promoted to benefit individuals and
to njure the National League, will ever
have another chance to play in n League
game. 1t will be the old case Of Devlin
again"
DO you mean the League will black
list such playersT' >,
I'VE won't talk OF blacklisting now"
was the answer. but you may be sure
the old National League will exert Itself
when occasion requires.

van, Of Guttenburg fame, is being sued
In the United States Circuit Court here

horse-breeder, for $4,000 damages.
Meet charges that the horse Miss
Olive, which Donovan owned, was in
jured in race three years ago, and he
offered Donovan $500 for her for breed
Ing purposes: Donovan held out for
$1,000, and corresponded with Meet re-
garding the sale OF the stallion Guaran-
tee. Meet raised his offer to $500 and
offered to sell the stallion for Donovan
Donovan qualified his price by saying
he would sell the mare for sos after a
certain time, and up to that time he
would use her, as he thought he could
win some races with her.
Meet waited till the time named and
rendered the money, but Donovan re-
iused 70 sell; Meet considers his wait
and disappointment worth $1,000 and
sues for that sum.
