A number Of woll.known mombereof the
Now York State Division of tho L. A. w. dis
cussod the idea Of the racing control passing out
Of the hands of the organization in an infor.
NAL way yesterday. Tho majority sentiment
seemed to favor tho League continuing control.
John Bartlett, tho New York member of tho
State Racing Board, Expresses himself strongly
as In favor Of tho L. A. w. governing rncos. He
argues that there is no organization in exist
enco to whose care tho control of racing can DO
intrustod. He claims that while IL Is known
that racing is properly controlled by n strong
and disinterosted bod, Of mon, another orOaniza-
ton might DO unable to maintain n high stand
ard for the sport. Will r. Pitney. an ex.mem'
Der of the Racing Board gin discussing the ques-
ton yesterday. said:
81 am decidedly opposed to the suggestion that
the League give up its control over racing. 1
can see no need Of such a stop, and tho obsta.
Giles that will confront the racing mon when
such n move is made. II IL over is, will be numer-
Gus. The constitution of tho League recognizes
racing and its members join under that classifi-
cation. 1t is impossible to determine whero the
objection In the L. A. w. controlling racing
lies. That department is self-supporting and
interferes with no other interests in tho League.
1 am confident that tho LA. W. will never see
Its way clear to divorce itself from racing"
The objections raised to tho officers of tho
Now York division Of the L. A. w. granting the
award of the State meet to individual wheel
men are very strong. A member officially fden'
titled with the division attempted yesterday to
Explain the situation whereby promoters receive

From another, source a reporter Of THE SUN

OF the clubs name in exchange for a prospective
