may have arisen over the fact that the
Jockey Club asked Captain Carmody to
get his track ready first before applying
for dates when he appeared before them
nearly a year ago.
From the manner In which he was re-
ceived. some expect to see dates granted
to him without trouble. Others believe
that the Jockey Club may not desire any
new tracks in its territory, and may try to
fight the newcomer. regardless of the fact
that Chicago racing itself is on a very
uncertain basis and in no condition for a
hard turf war. Another race track is in
embryo at Kansas City. and this will
make still another feature to be considered
by the Chicago maRnates although the
point will not be brought up at to-mor-

that these three schools Will be about

have. from the start, over 200 boys. This
means almost an equal number In each

that the Central High School had nearly
three times as many boys available for
the league.
AFTER this year the schools will be
about equal. Smith Academy, for in

League. The Manual Training School has
a few more than this. while the Western
Military Academy can probably count up
ON about 40 boys.
Under this organization there will be
six schools which are, properly speaking,
st. Louis schools. and that will mean
thirty football games and thirty baseball
games under the auspices Of the Inter-
scholastic league. These are more games
than the league can carry with convent
ence. and six schools are about all that
can work together in one league.
