Following a policy to put a stop 10 DIG
betting on the Eastern tracks, the Jockey
Club has just issued an order to the euect
that hereafter each clubhouse betting com
missioner must furnish a $1,000 bond as a
guarantee OF good faith, which means
that instead Of about fifty OF these agents
tumbling over one another this year there
will be less than a dozen. At least two

some Of the agents did business on the quiet

No clique Of layers has been recognized.
There are three ines as many outsiders
as Nets in the front line. and the former
syndicate methods have been permanently
souelched. Altogether the speculative end
OF racing appears to be under more effective
control than ever before,

In addition TO signing a contract for SIC, 900
a year TO ride for Aleck Shields this year. Willie
Shaw will give second call on his services to
Timothy d. Sullivan and r. Angarola. The
Sullivan horses that have been racing at
New Orleans will stop over at Memphis before
coming to Aqueduct. Archie thinner has
them in his care. as usual. AngarOla, with
fifteen racers, has just shipped them East
from Los Angeles. where he has spent the
winter, enjoying fair success. With these en-
gaRements Shaw will have plenty of work in
the saddle and will also have a chance to in
crease the size Of his present fat bank roll.

now SAYS he would like TO tackle Bob Fit2-
mmo again. Several years ago Rubin
suffered a terrific beating in the Madison
Square Garden at the hands OF the Cornish
man, who finally knocked MN out 80 coHl-
pletely that 1t looked for a time as l. Ruhlin
would not recover. Rubin believes now
that he can square accounts with Fitz. and
said yesterday that he would agree to meet
the freckled pugllist in a battle Of from six
TO twenty rounds. to take place on the Coast.
Fitzsimmons declared after his recent
defeat by Jack o'Brien that he would never
fight again, but If a big purse is offered for
q match with Rubin. the lanky man may
reconsider his determination to quit. As
Rubin Ia still comparatively young and is a
rugged, clever pugilist. he might be able 10
trim the old fellow, unless the latter took a
new lease on life. Fitz, 1t must be remem-
bered, has the fateful Indian sign on Ruhlin,
which should not be overlooked in figuring
out the probable winner of such a mill.
Tom O'Rourke s Tuxedo A.. G.. is in more
trouble. A notorious politician in Delaware
county, where the club h located, SAYS that
the doors will never open, because he was
not let In on the game. The District Attorney
has also instructed the Sheriff 10 arrest the
fighters and the club officials If they attempt
70 do business. But O'Rourke Is defiant,
and declares with much emphasis that the
club will operate in spite Of the obstacles
