CORRIGAN IN
HIS ROLE OF
DISTURBER
Seeking to Create Trouble at
the Session Of the Turf
Congress.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2O.-The Times Herald
tomorrow will say: An attempt will be
made by a faction in the American Turf
Congress to pass legislation limiting the
racing season in Chicago from June 10 to
November /. a special meeting of the
congress will be held at Covington. KY.
on January 10, for the purpose of reviv-
ing the circuit plan and allotting dates 10
each track. William +. Schultz, president
OF the turf body. and Ed Corrigan are
supposed to be the men behind the move
ment ST. Louis and Oakland also will be
affected should the Schulte-Corrigan fac
tion succeed at the January meeting.
The object which the turf promoters
have in naming dates for Chicago and St
Louis is to benefit the racing game at
Latonia, Newport and Louisville. 1t IS
claimed the long season in Chicago and
st. Louis has done much TO injure the
sport along the Ohio River, where the
purses are smaller.
Corrigan's particular interest is TO get
n knock AT the California Jockey Club,
Of which his particular enemy, Tom VIII
liams, is proprietor.
