GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

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. |
| II 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. II Is more than likely !
that nr 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 afYa!r Is concerned viii be
| cleared OF the miasmatic dishonesty that
| has hung over II ever since the gates
| Of Monmouth closed. II was q 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 the 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, 70
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
put TO this sort OF business, there Is
likely to be the Same "Do | get it?', In
big stakes as there is now In the the
ntrical world In regard 10 fat salaries
To come down to plain, everyday Ian
guage. tn. last Monmouth Park meet
Ing was n 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
to them. That they should. on the plea
is somet thing rather new. What the
Jockey Club. of which the Monmouth
this business would be interesting to
| learn. Reformers who do not pay, their
debts, and use their friends as victims
in a game OF sharp practice. are not en-
B anywhere else. The thorough airing or
! this affair can do no harm to the turf.
on the contrary. 1t is sure to do much
good.
