The officials will be the same as last
Tuesday. and amateurs. members Of the
Road Riders and Drivers Association Of
the District Of Columbia will drive
Local horsemen seem to think well Of
the rule adopted by the American Trotting
Congress at Chicago which practically
eliminates betting on heats. but does
not deny the privilege OF betting on the
result Of a race. Heat betting was un-
questionally responsible for much crooked
racing. Horses We're not infrequently
driven out in order 20 work the book, or
trim somebody else and the opportunity
that betting on each heat afforded for
jobbery disgusted many honorable men
and put them out Of the trotting game
The rule shortening the distance point
approval by local drivers and trainers. as
does the one providing hereafter all races
shall end at the conclusion of the NTH
heat. The new rule concerning the dis
tance flag says that in all races over
mile tracks sixty yards shall be the
distance, except where eight or more
horses start, when II shall be eighty
yards In all races over half mile tracks
eighty yards will hereafter be the dis
tance, except when six or more horses
start, when it viii be 100 yards.
John J. O'Keefe has been notified By
Secretary knight, Of the American Trot-
ting Association, that l. J. X. will be
put into good standing again when the
usual repayment Of money unfairly won
by him is made. This is n decision Of
the board Of appeals which met In Chi
c2gO recently. L. j. X. was rung at
Waycross. Ga. year ago. and since
that has been laid up from racing This
was the case that got that competent
trainer and driver, Henry Reeves, Of
Macon, into serious trouble.
Kin Step. a fve-year-old bay gelding
owned by Edward Waters. Of the Chesa-
peake Beach Railroad, looks like a good
racing proposition. Kin Step is by Kin
ster, PA II. His dam is Imogene by
MOdoc. the dam Of Nellie S. 2.O9 10. and
OF Saxon. that trotted a mile when six
years old in 2-20 Kin Step is a toppv.
