While the betting ring at belmont Park
was declared open yesterday, according 70
the final edict Of the track owners issued on
Tuesday, the members OF the Metropolitan
Turf Association we're permitted 20 retain
their old seats In the front line, although
the five new members who were promoted
the day before we're not compelled 70 with
draw. The situation now has been pla iced
up 20 the bookmakcrS syndicate. As race
track official said yesterday:
This Is something like game OF checkers,
with the Nets 10 make the next move.
As far as the track owners are concerned
they have acted and there is no appeal They
will remain firm az 90 the intention OF estab-
fishing equal rights In the betting ring for all.
They will not recognize the Nets a. an or
ganizaton any longer. for the reason that II
would not be consistent In view OF the long
continued policy Of taking no oflcal cognlz-
ance Of betting. To allow an organization
Of bookmnkers 70 rule the Eastern turf Is
something that the track owners would
never countenance. Yet the Nets, up TO
within q few days. seemed TO think that they
and not the track owners held the destiny
Of the sport Of Kings In their own hands.
John Cavauagh Ia the manager OF the batting
ring from now on. With absolute power.
While he declined 20 discuss the situation
yesterday In any way, II was said that IL
would not be long before he would decide
Just what places In the ring would be occupied
by tho members OF the defunct syndicate
and other layers who are anxious 20 secure
the old privileges. As a matter Of fact,
Cavanagh is overrup With applications from
reputable bookmakers, who are willing 10
pay sS7 a day for the right 70 sit In the front
line and take chances with the public's judg-
ment
There may be some new Developments
to-day Last night the Nets we're TO have
mace a new drawing for the choice places
the ring but the presence Of half dozen
non-members in the front line caused much
speculation as to whether such drawing
would hold good, inasmuch as tayanSgh had
stated the The non-pembers would not be
compelled to surrender the privileges they
secured on + esday. IL VAS said last night
that some OF the more WaTiike members
Of the syndicate were inclined to move
into the back line voluntarily, Tor which
they would have TO pay vs. day each,
with the idea Of showing the track managers
that the front line without them would De
frost from a betting point OF view. But e
can be said that II any members OF the syndl-
cate decide upon such a course the desired
accommodations will be supplied. and there
will be no hard feelings.
George " heelock, president OF the Nets.
had a long talk with one Of the leading track
owners at belmont Park yesterday, but It was
tS sf he Tep e back to his fellow members
that the tracks would not recede an inch.
