RAGING ASSOCIATIONS REDUCE
VALUE OF FIXTURES
Decreased Attendance Makes Meetings

Abandoned Entirely After
This Year

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE unsettled
condition of racing in New York has
caused racing men to consider plans
for their tracks which have meetings
to follow Gravesend. 1t is assured that
the Brooklyn Jockey club will finish
it's meeting without reduction of purses
but a cut in the schedule of the
Sheepshead Bay purses generally is
expected, though the stakes will be
run as they have been announced.
The Brighton Beach Racing associa-
ton came In for much attention from
horsemen, in view of circular letters
announcing that the association has
prepared for the owners of horses en-
gagged in stakes at Brighton Beach. The
circular Is as follows:
1.-THE recent repeal of the Percy-Gray
law has made 1t doubtful whether rae
ing can be continued in New York on
the plans that it has occupied for manyf
years. This association intends to max o
every possible effort to keep the spo, It.
as it Is, and with that end in vie "
we ask you to aid us by signing t be
enclosed card. permitting us, If nee IS
sary, to modify or withdraw ? my
schedules of this association alrei tdy
closed"
The consent mentioned is an ag see
ment to accept the decision of the as
ISOLATION in either the canceling of
stakes to be run or the reduction OF
stakes in proportion to the amour Il of
money added. In addition to the
doubt thrown on the stakes all Sady
closed, the Brighton Beach assoc bation
announced four stakes, the L Fump.
Sunshine and Undergraduate or 2
year-olds, and the Chantilly Seeple-
chase, which had been advert sed to
close on June 10, were abandon I'D be-
fore the day of closing, the B hghtor
club having so notified the Jock sy club
The most important fixtv res OF
Brighton racing which have be sn thus
so doubtful that horsemen ha' t@ giver
up any idea that they will be run are
the $25. 900 Brighton handicar $25,00C
derby, $1,000 Venus stakes and the In
vincible handicap. $500 added |. at the
summer meeting, and the 100000
Brighton Produce stakes and the $10,-
900 Brighton cup in the fall.
G. j. Fitzgerald. president of the
Brighton club, said 1t was tn purpose
of the club to hold meetil ig, but in
view of the changed condition the club
did not believe 1t would tax e the risk
of racing without the co-opt grafton of
horsemen. Fitzgerald said that the
Brighton club would condut It the best
meeting 1t could under tn circum-
stances.
The Coney Island Jockey club, which
conducts the meeting at STheepshead
Bay, gave out the following announce
ment today:
"The Coney Island rckey club
greatly regrets being obi ged to re-
duce added money 80 per cent for all

FIELDING GAME
Land on Sutor for Five Hits and Four
Runs In First Two innings
and Hold Their Ad-
vantage
COAST LEAGUE STANDING
Angels a, Seals I

Quite in contrast to the ragged field
ing behind Hosp In the Tuesday game
was the support given Dolly Gray yes
terday, and the Angels jumped back
into first place by six points. winning
from the Seals by the score of to /.
Gray twirled steady ball ali the way,
excepting in the first two innings, and
there never was a doubt as to which
team would win.
The Angels took the lead in the first
inning, scoring two runs and repeated
in the second inning before winding up
their little ball OF yarn. The seals
scored one run In the second inning
and gave up the ghost When the
Angels quit hitting they got busy In
the field and everything that went their
way was hooked and used to adVan-
tage, with the exception of one chance
which Bernard could not handle prop
erly. This error of Bernard permitted
the Seals to score their only run or
the game.
In the first inning Bernard singled
to center and Cakes struck out, for
wonder. Then Cap Dillon tore Off a
double to right and the fleet Bernard
registered the first run of the game.
Brashear hit a teaser down to third
and outran the throw, Dillon taking
third on the play. Smith hit one to
short, forcing Brashear, and Dillon
scored Ellis was an easy out. curtis
to Williams.
In the second inning Wheeler got
life by the kindness of Mr.. McArdle
at short, who declined to make per-
feet handling of an easy chance. Hogan
sacrificed him to second and Dolly
Gray died via the Sutor Williams route,
Wheeler taking third on the out. Ber-
nard used patience and was awarded
oh
gratitude by stealing second. Oakes
dropped a bunt down to Sutor. VINO
was seized with the fright and failed
to field the ball in time to put out
Cakes or prevent Wheeler from sliding
home from third. Sutor was rattled
and tried to strike out somebody in tho
grandstand, probably Jim Jeffries. as
he threw the bali over the mead OF
Berry, Cakes going to third ana Ser
nard getting home in safety. onion
then ended the session by hitting
weak one to Sutor, who had recovered
sufficiently to field out the Angel cap
tain.
In their time up in the second inning
the Seals saved themselves from
shutout by scoring once. Briiliant
fielding prevented further scoring. al
though the one run tailed was the
result of an error by Bernard IN
handling Sutor's smash past second.
McArdle hit a slow one down TO
Wheeler and beat it out. Ellis made
a circus catch of high one sent to
the left field bleachers that Berry sent
out as a teaser McArdle stole second
and scored when Bernard erred IN
handling Sutor's boundcr. Hildeprand
smashed {, sizzler down to Wheeler and
beat 1t out. Mohler was easy for Gray
and Dillon.
Then the pitchers -ottled down to
business and each side only got two
hits in the remaining innings. The
damage was done, however. and Gray
saw to 1t that the Angels kept the
advantage secured and cinched first
place with his curves.

summary of the game:

AMERICAN ATHLETES
LEAVE FOR ENGLAND
Daniels, Swimmer, and Baxter, For
mer Champion Pole VauIter, Sail
for London Ahead of Other
Members of Olympic Team
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE first of
the Olympic team to head for England
is Daniels, the swimmer, who sailed
today on the Lusitania. 1t takes long
er for an aquatic man to get accus-
toned to English water than track or
field men to English turf, SO Daniels
is going early to have a bit of prepara-
ton before his event comes off in the
stadium tank.
On his arrival in England. it is I'M
derstood, he will have splash in some
of the big swimming pools for the pur-
pose of limbering up and will take in
a few of the sprinting competitions at
the different club games. Fearing that
there might be a misunderstanding why
Daniels should go on better ship than
the regular team, Manager Halpin said
yesterday that the swimmer will stand
the extra expense himself.
Hugh II. Baxter, the millionaire
athlete and ex-champion pole vaulter,
is going on the Luistania. He will
stay outside London during the games
and will drive to Shepherds Bushey
each day in an automobile.
