Poor Owners Have no Chance at
the OUTLAW Tracks.
NEEL WANTS. 70 EXPLAIN
Chains That He Can Bring Proof Of
His louisville Jockey
Racfng-LOgan In Great Form at
Nfw Orlcans-Ottier Late News.

The poorer owners at, the across-thc-
siver tracks are making "a big kick at the
! manner in which the programs are made
| up-sTbcy complain, and probably with just
cause, that the races are, with very few ex-
ccptiohs, so made up that the stables that
haye tbe outlaw cracss. can get in at such
| small weights that the fair-class horses
cannot hope to beat them,
While the position OF the secretary is Not
! an easy one by any means, IT does look as
il the races could he. SO arranged that the
| poor owner with iair-ciass skate could
get IN once in a while and win out a race.
| As sthingsi now stand, the Owners go into
| the selling races and make their own weights
witnr horses that have won race alter race
| this year.
| lf1he conditions OF the races were 80 ar
RANGED that winners Of. say, three or more
| races were compelled to carry from ten to
| fifte$p pounds, 1T woud, serve to equaiiZe
matters. In many races this eQuaiizing
| is done to a certain extent, but there is not
| enough OF it.
| Ahorsc like Fagin or Chiswick can get
into, nearly, any one or the selling races at
| either of the tracks and carry such light
| weigbt that the other horses cannot hope
for anything but to chase after them
| Give the poor owners chance, and there
| will not be SO much dishonesty.
Jockey ..Chick" Neel, who was recently
ruled off the Island track for pulling T.
| II. Cooks Deceitful, is anxious for a Lear
| ing before the executive committee OF
that track. -He has nra,le an application
for such hearing, but it was refused.
Now, white MS q pretty ncrvy thing TO
unlsrtake to cha mpion Neers case it would
seem that in this Instance he has been
| wrenget!. True, Neel has such a bad reputa a.
| tion that Very likely his ruling off under
/ any~ circumstances would be a beneiit
to ,hs t,ask but as the saying goes GIVE
N.el uploubte edIy has proof in his possession
to show that the geliing was dead under
him before he ever went to the post, and
he also can bring proof that certain book
maker In the ring was laying up against
| tn, horse. This bOokmaker not only did
an undertaking bdsiness with the gelding
himself. but went to one of his brother
bookies and wanted him to take In 800
of the Dcccitful money.
| Necl las all Of this evidence collected
and ciaifAs that lie can bring witnesses to
prove the truth of his assertions. He also
says that If he is not given a chance 10
prove 10 the proper authorities that he is
innocent he will procure la wyer to take
action against the club.
This last is probably cold bluff. as
"A boy who has been ruled off and set down
five times within a year for alleged crooked
riding would not have much Of chance in
n court of justice il the case ever went
that far.

There was n general belief in racing CIR

Philadelphia Record as an extensive
owner a nd active worker for the interest.
IL il with regret that the following is cu1lcd
from his own paper: William NJ. slngeriy
has from boyhood been interested in horses
and has until recently been breeder OF fine
trotting stock. He ha bred 4 nd owned some
of the best stock in the country. or late,
however. he has turned TO breeding thor
oughbreds. Mr.. Singcrly is not avcrse 10

may have chance To win, but he is not GO
ing into racing. His interest in the turf is
an anu scment and diversion, and not a
business
Just about one year ago n mighty howl
went up In Frisco because Jim Food, then
a two-year-ol WAS let into the Sprcckes
handicap with ninetyseven pounds against
such horses as Lovedale, Ducat ana Cad
mus. Yesterday Jim Flood, now a three
year-o!d, started with ninety-three pounds
against such horses as would hardly Class
with the Spreckels handicap field. There
is a whole lot in tue crafty management OF
d racing stable.
Old Logan. the iron horse. placed another

sixteenth pofe ana winning, in a mild drive.
jimmy Lambly, who now has grown so
that he cannot ride less than IL 8 pounds,
rode the winner.
Tom Sayre is an improving three-year-old.
He got off absolutely last in his race, but put
up the stiffest kind of an argument, as long
as the Journey lasted, finishing scant neck
behind Lagniappe, the winner. VITA ylor,
who rode Sayre, says the horse would surely
have won had the distance been mile in
stead of five-sixteenths.

Carroll's hair stood straight up, but when
he was ordered to pay the bet by the associ-

Anyune who knows Carroll can imagine
the scene. He coined adjectives heretofore
unheard OF.
