AND THE WEST


AND THE WEST.
Uncertainty prevails in many places in regard to
next seasons racing Some of the chivarous South
erners proclaim that In few years there will be no
racing In this country north OF Mason and Dxons
line. They say the Northern men are not sport
loving and are inercenary in all their racing IDEAS
and methods. OF the men from the South
are bubbing with love for sport. especially so
when Northern men pay handsome salaries 10 rae
ing officials from that sport-cvng region with an
occasional cod-b.ooded Canadian thrown In 10 neu-
tralze the hot Southern blood. Moreover the mer-
cenaries from the North have been paying big
prices for SoutIern-bred yearlings TO the men VINO
breed solely account Of their intense love lot
sport II a community which puts up with hordes
OF sport-ovlng gamblers for years until us cities
are overrun with poolrooms, and racing is con-
tnued In winters snow well as In the summer
eun until II becomes almost pestilence. Is not a
SPORT loving community. it win hardly prove proi'-
able to look the real lovers of sport south OF the
rivers.
No sympa thy should be wasted on the breeders as
q rule. OF course like Milton Young ana
Charles Reed are excepted, for both. OF them are
liberal breeders and are anxious for the preserve"
ton Of racing.
In regard to the future Of the sport in this ne'gn
horhood the old saying Never cross bridge until
YOU come 10 IT, might apply II Is far better 10
walt until the Legislative bridge over the avg!
caused nv the Constitutional amendments Is con-
structed before deciding the question Legal op'"
ions about racing matters have never amou"'eu "
much. as the unexpected has always happened
when racing questions have been decided by legal
Tribunals. p: ''' ,,s

to-day AS all the leading racing cluos III '''e
East have united and will race under UNIFORM
rules there Ia little danger that the leading stables
will depart for the West or for Europe
II is not at all Likely that the Western associa-
lions will increase the value OF their purses "
attract the Eastern horses. 1t was the rivalry
caused by the liberal purses in the East ina
led the Western tracks 10 raise the value OF 'he'f
purses from $3.50 until $500 was the average at the
leading Western meetings, with the sihsie ehcep

cerned the Eastern racetracks nave nothihs "
fear from the West. and as far as the south Is
concerned that section is OF 1t. In spite OF us
sport loving inhabitants
The question of racing in England and France
has been talked about by all classes OF turiineh.

horses will race in England and France Hucn
