HUGHES MESSAGE
DAMPER ON RACING
REPEAL OF PRESENT LAW WILL
KILL GAME
No Gambling Will Drive Smaller AS
socIations Out of Business at
Once and Big Ones
Will Follow

NEW YORK, Jan 1.-THE recommends
ton in Governor Hughes message that
the Percy-Gray law, whlc-. legalizes bet
ting within race track Enclosures, be re-
pealed and the constitutional prohibi'
ton against gambling be made effective
everywhere in the state, made chilly
New Years for racing interests.
xiii betting and you kill horse rae
ing" is the answer of turfmen. 1t has
been their reply to every attack upon
gambling behind the fence" but never
before has the attack been led by chief
executive.
IF the governor can have enacted the
legislation which he recommends. and 1t
is successful In stopping all betting, horse
racing eventually will be killed. said
Francis r. Hitchcock, president Of the
Saratoga Racing association. ''It would
put the weaker racing association out of
business at once. Ultimately the strong
est racing association would have to sue
cumb.
1.-THE governor may be assured the rae
ing associations would not attempt to
evade the law; no matter what is passed
The men who are promoting racing as a
sport, because they admire fine horses,
are not going to run the risk Of going to
Jail. even for their hobby"
lnen you tlliih Jdl pSHdllJ lOO Sc
vere?'
Its just as sensible as hanging for
sheep stealing" Mr.. Hitchcock replied.
None of the members of the jockey club
or racing associations was willing to adj
nit public sentiment will bring about the
repeal of the present law or even that, If
it is repealed, any of the racing associa-
tions will abandon plans for the coming
season.
You may be sure we shall hold our
races" said John H. Bradford, treasurer
of the Coney Island Jockey club. Other
turfmen spoke with equal confidence of
the future.
Members of the Metropolitan Turf as
ISOLATION, the bookmakers' organization,
betrayed little fear of being driven from
the tracks. OF the 500 bookmakers IN
New York 200 belong to the organization,
and In the past have united in opposition
to the repeal of the Percy-Gray law.
Eddie Burke, chairman of the governing
committee, said determined fight would
be made at Albany.
The Rev. DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst,
who has been the most determined foe Of
gambling, while expressing extreme
qualification that the governor has taken
his positive stand on the question Of race
track gambling, is in doubt as to the to-
suit.

Messrs. Langford and Barry are both
credited with working their crowbars

sunburned one and he of the collie.
If weight gives any consent Langford

But as far as the fast work is concerned
both pugilists are giving the whirlwind

the speed route is about the only way

Barrys collie was not quite self-substan-

HISTORIC TROPHY TO BE
SOUGHT BY MOTOR BOAT
Cup Made of Coins Captured in the
Maria Theresa Will Be Prize
for Big Race at st.
Augustine

The trophy to be raced for in the motor
boat race from St. Augustine to Lake
Worth in March is a handsome affair
which bears great historical interest.
This trophy is made of silver coins cap
tured in the Maria Theresa at the time
of the war with Spain. The trophy
bears in its makeup a number of the
coins in their original condition. These
coins were captured by the two dispatch
boats, the Three Friends and the Daunt-
less and were afterward turned over to
the government, which auctioned the
silver.
Commodore Allen purchased lot of 1t
and later secured donations from the citi-
zens of the City of Daytona and from
members of the Florida East Coast Auto
mobile club,
The cup was made and offered last
year, but the great event was held over
to this winter.
The Halifax River Yacht club did much
to aid in the promotion of the trophy
which will prove not only valuable to the
winner, from monetary standpoint. but
valuable as well from z historical stand
point. 1t will be much sought. and a
great boat race the length of Florida's
inland waters and also races at st.
Augustine, Daytona. Rock Ledge and at
Lake Worth will result.
The shorter distance events will be run
as a sort of side show to the big event
which will be stopped during the time Of
the shcrt races and restartod after they
have been run.

SAY HAND RAILS ARE
SOURCE OF DANGER
chauffeurs Complain of Color Supports
on Boulevard Bridge Are Painted
and Say Accident May
Result

Automobile owners and chauffeurs alike are
worrying over what may happen one day al
the big bridge on the new automobile noule-
ward between Pasadena and Los Angeles.
The bridge has two hand rails. ono on either
side, which extend several feet beyond the
bridge. These painted green, and at night
especially iierge into the color OF the embank-
nsent on either side. and are thus very difficult
to see.
The supports of the bridge are painted white,
SO when the light of the automobile falls upon
the structure the first thing the chauffeur no.
tices Is merely the supports, while the dark
rails, which arc nearer his machine by several
feet, are not seen.
''These railings on the bridge should be
painted as distinctly the supports farther
in" SAID one chauffeur who travels over the
boulevard every day and very often ct night.
The danger Ia increased by the fact that
there is curve In the road at either end, and
thus the chauffeur has no opportunity OF guess
ing the danger he is running, since his light Is
turned on 10 the approach only with the grad
ual turning OF his machine as Il goes along
the road The Southern California Automobile
association beiitvos is going to take the
subject up

MORNLNGSTAR WILL
CHALLENGE CHAMPS
YOUNG BILLIARD PLAYER OUT
AFTER scHAEFER
carom Game Booming in st. Louis and
Many Noted Experts Are
Slated to Give Exhibi-
tions There

ST. LOUIS, Jan. lin reply to Jake
Schaefer's statement that he would never
play Orc Morningstar for the 1S1 balk
line billiard championship unless the lat
ter retracted his statement to the POST
Dispatch that Schaefer and Sutton were
hurting the game. Morningstar declares
that whether he wins or loses to Sutton
in their match for the 1872 championship
at New York ON January 2S, he will chal-
lenge the winner of the Schaefer-Cutler
contest for the 1871 title, at present held
by Schaefer. If Schaefer refused TO play
Morningstar, the latter will gain the
championship emblem by default.
Schaefer and Cutler are to meet in
Philadelphia on January q in a 500-point
match for the 1S.1 championship. Morn
ingstar was greatly amused at Schaefers
statement that he must apologize.
Il did not say anything against Jake's
personality, said Morningstar. You
did not quote me as saying anything but
that Schaefer and Sutton were hurting
the billiard game by giving exhibitions,
both before and after the recent cham
pionship matches when by playing
each other for their respective titles
they were enabled to keep other men
from challenging. When each man re-
tanned his respective title it gave a lot OF
persons a chance to say I told you So.
"Schaefer says he will not play me2
Well that looks good to me. AZ he beats
Butler l see whether either Jake
backs up or / get the ISL medal by de-
fault. l will certainly challenge him. |
have an idea 1 can beat Cutler If AL wins.
Ir fact. l am willing to put up the $500
called for by the rules to go as a sidc
wager that l can beat the winner OF
the match. If Cutler wins and l beat
Cutler, Jake won't have much chance to
get back his trophy unless he plays me.
| guess Jake will play me all right rather
than forfeit the championship. If he
doesn't want to play me pie a la mode
for me-"
Willie Hoppe will in all probability be
brought to ST. Louis soon to play in the
local billiard academy. The New York
billiard academy with Schaefer, Sutton,
Hoppe and others as the attractions has
disbanded after one week career. Lack
of play was the cause. Schaefer and
Sutton are at present in Chicago and are
to start on an exhibition tour in a few
days. This will give them some good
practice for their championship matches.
Cutler and Hoppe are to go on an exhibi-
tion tour shortly. Meanwhile the local
billiard academy is receiving a heavy play
afternoon and evening.

ing In the south, where love has been
held as an ideal, and where marriage
based upon any other incentive has
been considered as almost if not quite
immoral. While in some cases parents
have been known to make wise selec-
tons of life companions for their chill
dren, this has been the exception
rather than the rule. Mercenary mo-
tives should not be allowed to inter-
fere with the happiness of two young
people, but social standing has come
to be, in these latter years, largely a
matter of dollars and cents, and our
conceptions and ideals are too often
Influenced by the same consideration.
