"Puriy Harness Racing BY AboHsbing
Heat Booking" Says Myron McHenry

the pool box for some easy picking.
IL gives a chance 10 drivers to be
tempted in their drives and is the
means of drawing to races a class OF
'short-enders' whose presence in a
majority OF cases Is a disgrace 10 the
sport. In many meetings OF the big
line we race under the three-heat sys
tenn, and each heat is a separate race.
In that case pools should be sold on
each heat and not on the general re-
suit OF the entire race. Associations
can, If they wish for the distribution
OF the purses, make any conditions
they may desire for the final selection
of the winner or winners. but the pool
box should not be governed by those
conditions.
Pools should be sold. on the result
of each heat, but no choice for place
or show and on the plan have al
ready suggested. When / put up $50
TO back my favorite another man
should not compete against me by
buying the whole field, but his own
choice at some price. Pool bets should
be settled after each heat which Is a
race. and selling begun again for the
succeeding heats. Under this system
1t will often happen that a CASTOR
horse or one which had no following
to start with will show form enough
to find following for the succeeding
heats or race, giving chance to the
Spectator TO shift around to protect
himself. Our existing system Of heat
betting and selling pools on the field
against the favorite has. In my long
experience caused the present decline
OF the sport. II Is the gradual In
crease of pikers and cheating book
makers which has driven the best
class out OF the sport and kept many
away from trotting tracks.
You show me ten men who have
abandoned the trotting sport for other
causes and | can show you one hun
dred who are driven away because OF
the unfairness of betting on heats and
selling fields against favorites."

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Athletic re-

He practically asked that 1t be put to
vote to see whether relations with the
English be called of.
He said that Carpenter was robbed
'and cheated out OF a victory In the
400-meter race. and that one decision
alone OF declaring he had fouled their
favorite, Halswelle. was enough to
break all athletic relations. Mr.. Sulli-
van also stated several other cases
