WHlTNEY'S HARD LUCK
WITH HIS GREAT RACERS

NEW YORK, June 24.-Burgomaster, the
champion three-year-old Of the season, win
ner of the Carleton and Belmont stakes, his
only two starts, is broken down and will be
retired to Harry Payne Whitney's Brook
dale farm In New Jersey. This means that
he will not race again this year. and 1t Is
quite probable that he has run his last race.
Burgomaster 'let down" this week after
a trial After a short. sharp dash over the
Sheepshead Bay track, he pulled up very
lame A close examination of the colt by
John W. Rogers his trainer, showed that
the injury was in his near foreleg and
was located between his hoof and the fet-
lock joint.
This accident to Burgomaster leaves his
owner without champion in his stable Art
full is badly bowed from a strained ten
don and is practically in retirement. These
horses were Mr.. Whitney's best.
Mr.. Whitney confirmed the report Of the
accident. He said
he is injured we cannot say at present. He
Is lame enough to make 1t necessary to send
him to the farm. With him and Artful on
the shelf I'm in hard luck, for horses of
their kind only come to few men once in
lifetime. I don't believe that l will ever
again own two such great horses. They
were the best Of their age. Artful was the
better horse. When she was well and In p ar
feet trim she was the fastest horse in
America"

HARNESS HORSE MEET AT
SAUGUS DECLARED OFF

Special Dispatch tc The Star.
BOSTON, Mass. June 24.-Manager Will
Hitchings of the Saugus track, and Frank
Downes, who has had the bookmaking priv
ileges at the same place, hurried back to
Boston from Baltimore upon receipt of the
news of Governor Gould's action in stop
ping poolselling in the state. The very first
thing Hitchings did was to declare off the
meeting scheduled for the latter part of
next month at Saugus.
Then he took the next train for Albany
N. Y, with the object of looking over the
Island Park property. He had been In cor
respondence with John Mack, one of the
owners, and when the two got together it
did not take long for them to agree to the
terms of lease.
Mr. Hitchings said: What is the use Of
trying to stand up against the sort of prop
osition the powers that be are handing out
to the race track people in this state? ne
Saugus track has been lying idle since the
July meeting last summer That meeting
just made enough to pay the expenses of
running the property for the remainder of
the year. From the time of that meeting
however, to the present 1t has cost me be-
tween $1,000 and 81, coo for expenses. Nat
urally this expense will continue for the re-
mainder Of the present year with nothing
coming in.
1, as well as OtnerS, were trying to nnQ
out all winter where we fitted in the racing
proposition. The action of the governor
places matters in the state in condition
where 1 cannot afford to take chances. The
sudden reversals of form up on Beacon Hill
have simply made me dizzy and 1 have
made preparations to quit the state.
by leasing the Island Park property
am getting into a state where the race horse
people have some encouragement for the
industry that they represent. 1t is my in
tention to transfer the meetings booked for
Saugus to Albany. In the case of the early
closing stake races 1 opened for the two
weeks meeting next month I am going to
write personal letter to each of the nom
inators asking If they object to having the
SIX events decided at Island Park in place
of Saugus. If the greater part of them agree
to this, we'll and good, while ON the con-
trary, If majority are willing to call the
events off will then open six more early
closing races in their place for the Albany
track
The closing of Saugus Is hard blow to
the horsemen in New England. as during
season there has usually been several weeks
of racing there and 100000 In purses.

In many ways it looks like the harness

RIVAL OF THE AMERICAN
BOWLING CONGRESS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 24-The Nationa,
Eewling Association. new organizat ton
designed to rival the American Bowling
Congress, has been organized. At a meet
ing held In this city delegates from Wash
IT. gton, Wilmington. Paterson Newark, New
brunswick. Baltimore. Brooklyn PhiladeI-
phia and this city metiand drew up a con-
stitutton. The representatives present voted
themselves charter members of the new
association until regular delegates can be
elected. They their proceeded to select a
board of governors as provided for in the
constitution.
The organization being then perfected. 1t
was unanimously agreed. on the motto, OF
j. E. Hardenberg of Brooklyn, that the
first annual tournament shall be held at
Philadelphia on date to be decided later
Mr.. Berkman of Philadelphia after sug-
costing New York the proper place
said that the Quaker City would be very
glad to conduct the tournament.
Although the constitution was virtually
adopted as drafted, there was some spirited
discussion to the provision for individual
representation The article in dispute
which nevertheless was finally accepted,
provided that representation in the national
association should consist of one delega tie
from each club. association or league, and
further provided that any individual could
become a MEMBER, Dut should have vote.
Mr.. Costa Of Philadelphia thought this all
wrong and wanted to wipe out club rep
resentation altogether He suggested in
dvidual representation on the basis Of the
election of United States congressman. Sec
ond Vice President Livingston of Wash
ington desired the A. B. c. representatio ton
from associations only, with the added
provision for individual membership with
out vote. He said the new body recOg
nizing club representation. would be I'M
wieldy. Both suggestions were turned down.
and the plan drafted by the committee was
adopted on the motion OF Mr.. Hardenberg.
Although it was maintained that the new
association was formed for convenience
and to build up bowling interests in The
east, 1t could be seen from the trend CT
remarks that there Is some feeling against
the A. B. c. The representatives present
last night said they wished to have an Or
ganization which could not be packed
and thus controlled by certain interests by
means of fake clubs and fake proxies. Mr..
Livingston, in an interview. said that the
only reason the new association was Or
ganized was because the west has secured
control of the A. B. c., and all the meet
ings and tournaments were naturally held
in that part of the country, to the tx
ciusion of the east.

Rockingham Park Opens Thursday.
| In racing circles there is keen interest
as to the outcome of the experiment which
is to be tried upon a new racing communi-
ty when the Rockingham Park course. at
Salem. N. H, is to be thrown open on
pended upon the new course that the char
acter of the reception given it on Thursday
and for the following three weeks will be
watched with more than the usual interest.
The fact that no open professional betting
will be allowed or attempted at the Salem
track is the cause Of much speculation as
to whether the people upon which the en-
terprise will depend for patronage will at
tend in sufficiently large numbers to place
it upon a prosperous footing.
The managers of the Salem course insist
upon 1t that there will be no violation of
the laws, and that persons who venture to
pass money will be arrested.
