CLEANER RACING !

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 16.-There was
long stride made toward clean racing
when the steeplechase stewards laid down
the law" to Rogan the negro rider on Ball
FAC. the winner, before the race. Because
Hogan was riding well as because the
horse was picking up weight over his last
start the betting odds went from 4 to to
Z to l.
That fact reached the OF Henry J.
Morris and Walter s. Vosburgh, the stew.
ards, and they went to Rogan in the Pad
dock. The rider was informed that his
work would be under closest scrutiny from
start to finish and any Iapses would be
summarily dealt with after the race. Willie
Shields, owner of Balzac. too said few
things.
ride worthy of the best steeplechase
jockey either here or abroad resulted. No
Indifferent effort was put forth Balzac
was rated nicely. He jumped his best. His
run was made at the right time. He won
handily, though no doubt Ruths Rather,
the second horse, would have been v.ctori-
Gus over the full course
1t is action like that of the stewards that
patrons of the sport here In the east have
been urging for months. The steeplechase
game became so bad at Saratoga that scam
dals were daily expected and many of the
books would not lay prices on races of this
kind at all. Many betters. too, would not
play the jumping races at all.
Then il pointed out that n clique OF
riders were fooling owners, trainers and the
public alike. This imputation resented
by the owners and trainers as an Insult to
their intelligence, but the sudden improve
ment in the sport after some drastic action
had been taken proved that the contentious
of critics had been based absolutely on
facts.
The suggestion has been made that the
stewards of fiat racing follow In the foot
steps OF their brethren charge of the
cross-country game. They doubtless could
do it if they wished to, and so unostenta-
tiously that there would be no smrch on
the sport. Absolute power is theirs and q
word a hint before a race to a jockey
would be worth vast deal of severe pun-
ishment afterward.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LINCOLN, Neb., September 16-The
western college conference rule barring
freshmen from participation In varsity foot
ball seems likely to lack Endorsement by
Nebraska universities A game will be play
ed this season with Minnesota which is
under the conference rule, and the sugges-
ton was made that Nebraska adopt the
same prohibition against freshmen. The
idea was well received at first, but there
has sprung up a strong sentiment against
the adoption of the rule. Capt. Borg, AS
sistant Coach Westover and Physical Di-
rector Clapp are all known to be opposed
to the adoption of such stringent check
on the development of a foot ball team, and
it is probable that the athletic committee
will refuse 10 ratify it. If the rule fails of
passage 1t is what the attitude of the Uni
versity of Minnesota toward the local uni
versity will be.

The Smith Charter Bill.

lature, but it is understood he has
vetoed the Smithsbil for "a sconstitu-i

cities which have not adopted home

apply to great many municipalities
and would especially hit Minneapolis.
