JOCKEY CLUB WARS
ON THE POOLR00MS
AQueduct Track Is Cut Off
From Communication With
Outside World.

NEW YORK. April 16.-In an effort en-
tirely to disassociate racing in this State
from any connection with poolroom gam
bling in New York City or elsewhere, the
Queens County Jockey Club at Aqueduct
today took charge of all telegraph wires
running into the grounds and established
strict censorship over all kilograms. in
coming and outgoing, with a dead line
delay OF twenty minutes on all of the out
going messages. All telephone connec-
ton with the track has been discontinued,
and the only way that the results OF to-
days races could be known to the outside
world quicker than the time limit fixed by
the jockey club was by the sending OF
messengers from the track enclosure to
some point in the vicinity of Aqueduct.
where a telephone was available
Last year the regular poolroom service
from the Eastern race tracks conducted
by telegraph company was discontinued.
To give the necessary information TO the
poolrooms this year q news agency has
been established with headquarters in
Chicago. The representatives Of this
agency were at Aqueduct today prepared
to file information on the races in COM
mercial teegrams and were. taken en-
tirely by surprise at the drastic action OF
the jockey club. The plans of the racing
association had been carefully guarded
and the first intimation of the restrictive
step taken today was a notice to the
newspaper representatives that all mes
sages filed at the telegraph office at
Aoueduct will be subject to twenty
minutes delay
Not only did the jockey club strictly
guard the telegraph wires, but 1t with
held all advance information as TO non
starters, the assignment Of Jockeys. ETC.,
even to those within the race track in
closure Heretofore the scratching OF
horses had been announced as soon as the
Withdrawals occurred.
The withholding of this information was
a severe blow to the poolroom service, as
without it the proprietors and bettors in
such establishments must operate largely
in the dark Various subterfuges were
resorted to today to overcome the OBJ
stacles set by the jockey club, but the
sending of messengers to nearby points to
telephone the results was the only prog
ress the poolroom interests made against
the new order of things.
In each instance the messenger had TO
repay his admission into the grounds, s.
fee being exacted for the grand stand in
closure The censorship of the kilograms
forwarded from the track after the de-
Law of twenty minutes has been placed In
the hands of the detective agency which
has general charge Of the admissions to
the track and the safeguarding of
patrons.

The indignation Of the university
student body, reused by the authorities
recent action in doing away with the
American game Of football and substi-
tuting in its place the Rugby article.
was voiced yesterday afternoon at a
mass meeting of college men held at 4
o'clock in North hall
Sensational statements were made by
Captain Roy Elliott of the varsity foot
ball team regarding the metnoGs en-
ployed by the authorities TO procure a
unanimous vote in favor of Rugby from
the subcommittee of California and
Stanford men which reported recon-
mending the dropping of the old game
from the list of college athletics.
Captain Elliott said the Rugby game
had been forced upon the students. de-
claring that Prentfss Gray. president of
the associated students, had informed
him Of the receipt of a note from
President Wheeler during the sub
committees consideration of the foot
ball matter. in which Gray was ad-
vised that it would be Rugby or moth
ing" at the university next year. Gray
voted for the abolishing of the Amer
lean game.
This explanation of Gray's vote in
the matter was made yesterday sup
posedly to explain the Inconsistency in
volVed in his present attitude and the
vote. Gray now is quoted as being
strongly against Rugby. He was not
present at the meeting yesterday after
noon. Captain Elliott apparently being
authorized TO represent and speak for
him.
The meeting was attended by a ma
jority of the more influential men of
the student body. The proceedings
were secret, no outsiders being admit
ted. Captain Elliott had invited the
attendants to come and had arranged
for the meeting place.

Wheeler Engineered Big Deal.
Declares Prentiss Gray Was Compelled
to Accept the Reform Sport

Edgar Stowe, a well-known football
man. brother Of the gridiron hero,
Sam" Stowe. was chosen chairman OF
the mass meeting. He asked for
speeches from representative students
Reginald Kittrelle. Roy Pitcher, R.
Foster and Captain Elliott then spoke
Their addresses were all of the same
import, all against Rugby. and all in
favor of the old game of football as
played for years at the university.
Chairman Stowe. as result Of -he
mass meeting, was empowered TO ap-
point a committee OF representative
students to wait upon President Wheel
er and provide him with statement
which will be calculated to show the
sentiment of the student body with re-
gard TO football, and particularly the
Rugby brand of football
The committee will inform President
Wheeler that if Rugby is played $4,000
will have to be spent in changing the
width of the new California football
field. The associated students are now
in debt $4,000. The committee will ask
that, in view Of these facts. the change
to Rugby be not made for at least d
year. when the debt of $4,000 may be
paid off.
If the university authorities. despite
this petition of the students, insist
upon Rugby football. the faculty will
be asked to assume the debt now
charged to the associated students. as
was recently done at Northwestern
University in Illinois when the football
regime hitherto in order was changed.
President Wheeler is now in Texas.
where he went last Saturday TO deliver
the principal address at the Inaugural
ton of President Houston of the Uni
versity of Texas. He will return next
Tuesday, and will then be waited upon
by the student committee regarding
football

WASHINGTON, June 2i.-An under
standing was reached by the conferees

which II Is said will result in complete
agreement being reached tomorrow. The

There are yet three points which will
be discussed, one Of the most important
being the pipe line amendment. The
Senate amendment to this provision
which included lumber in the list OF COM
modities forbidden to be owned by com.
mon carriers, will, it is said. be retained
in the bill There has been an unccasing
effort to have this amendment eliminat-
ed. but so far without avail. The anti.
pass provision will be limited to officials
of national state, municipal. county and
township governments otherwise than
those the railroads may issue passes to
whomsoever they wish. Members of con.
gress are included as officers of the ma.
tional government.
