New York. Dec. 9-Correspondenes
between the officials Of the Jockey
Club in New York and officers
acting az the winter tracks in Call
fornia and New Orleans. has disclosed
the fact that when wholesale order OF
outlawry against all the horses that
raced at the recent jamestown Tercen-
tennial meeting. near Norfolk. Va, was
/ issued by The Jockey Club as the penalty
for their having run on an unlicensed and
unrecOgnized track, a great number Of
the horses that never actaIuy raced AZ
jamestown were outlayed through the
fact that other horses ran under the
names Of horses registered with the
Jockey Club.
The tangle that has resulted is one that
promises 10 keep racing officials busy FOR
some time TO come. if justice is 20 be
done 10 the owners Of horses which were
unfortunate enough 70 bear names which
appeared on the jamestown racing pro-
grammes.
In correspondence between the Jockey
Club and the new Arcadia track az Los
Angeles. the bar against three horses
that were supposed 20 have run at James
town, but which We're proved 10 have
been elsewhere throughout the time Of
the jamestown racing. was removed yes
terday, making q total Of seven horses
against which the disability for racing az
an outlaw meeting has been raised 1T
Los Angeles alone.
Allowed to start.
Other horses have been questioned az
| San Francisco. while az the two race
tracks Of New Orleans. a dozen or more
other horses which were reported TO have
raced at jamestown have been permitted
70 run under the ruling Of the track man
/ ayers there. who refused 10 recognize dis
ability incurred for any reason other than
fraud
The horses which most recently have
figured in the correspondence between the
Los Angeles officials and the Jockey Club
are Anoma. 7. Hamm. and June Time.
each OF which is on record as having
raced al the jamestown meeting. though
their present owners have satisfied the
Los Angeles officials. and through them
the Jockey Club. that the horses were not
at Jamestown al any time Of the meet
ing last fan.
In the case OF June Time. the owner
has been able 20 furnish afidavits from
several trainers well ana favorably known
70 the stewards Of the Jockey Club. and
actually engaged as trainers on the Long
Island tracks. that through the period
that June Time was credited with racing
AT jamestown these trainers saw the
horse daily at the Gravesend track. -Tle
disclosures made in the reports OF u,is-
taken or misrepresented identity have
been such as 10 cause grave doubt OF the
Identity of any OF the horses that ran a.
the outlaw track. and make il appear
that regardless Of all racing regulation.
the programmes at the Virginia meeting
were made up Of ringers.
Case Of June Time.
In the case Of June Time. the present
owner Of the horse has made his case
stronger by producing an affidavit from
one Of the officials Of the track that June
Time never even was entered AZ James
town. though horse bearing that name
appeared on the racing programmes re
peatedIy. and was one OF the notable win
ners OF the meeting.
II remains 10 be settled what effect the
disclosures viii have on a threatened
complication In the management OF the
affairs Of the Jockey Club when. as hap
pened last summer, the Western horses
come 10 New York City for the Empire
City tracks meeting at T0nkers. Under
the ruling 0f ". J. Wynn. manager OF the
New Orleans winter racing. and also
manager Of the Empire City track meet
ing, the horses from the jamestown
meeting were permitted 20 race al New
Orleans in all cases where the only charge
against them was Of participation in an
unrecognized meeting.
Under his ruling Mr.. Wynn upset the
Jockey Club law on the matter OF iisa-
bility. though ar some time next season
he VIII enter the Jockey Clubs territory
in New York, for a race meeting in
which according to the precedent OF last
summer. he must depend almost exclu-
sively for Western horses 10 make uo his
programmes The question Of whether he
would permit horses oUtlawed by the
Jockey Club 70 race at the meeting under
his management in Jockey Club territory
still may arise, in spite Of The discovery
OF the ringing and Misrepresentation at
jamestown
