Things were extremely quiet In the betting
ring at the Bay yesterday. after the strike Of
tho Nets on Thursday. John Steiner, p. j.

man and George Levy. the nom bers who were
pushed into tho front line on Thursday de-
spite tho odict of the owners oi the track
that only seventy Nets should be allowed
to book on an equal plane with ten nom
members. There was no further attempt on
the part Of the Nets to jam In members yes

Jockey Club on Suburban day and that they
had concluded to stand pat pending action
on the part Of tho turf authorities.

There were all sorts OF rumors flying about
yesterday. one OF which was that eome Of
