On last Saturday the American Cycle Rac-
ing Association. comprising men personally
known to Chairman Albert Mott OF the Ma
tiohal Racing Board. held its last outdoor race
OF the season. The money taken in at the box
office was insufficient to pay for the prizes Of
fered. The bulletin Of Chairman Mott issued
from Baltimore on Saturday says hath asso-
citation cannot receive any more sanctions until
IL pays all the reasonable demands against the
lessees Of the Willow Grove track. Philadel-
phia, Of Sept. 8. In a way this disposes of the
inslnuations that the Racing Board was espe-
cially favorable to this particular association
of promoters. Some persons have said that IL
was time that the chief promoters were disci-
plined. and that the action OF the National
Board was invited as a new measure to keep
the organization in the public eye until its in
door racing season began. The members of
the association ask why others. who offended
similarly in the past. were not classed with
them. In reply to the ofnclal announcement
