Sounds the Death Knell of the
Sport, Says Hagen.
SURPRISED IT PASSES.
People Will Not Pay for Seats
With No Chance to Bet.
Sheepshead and Brighton
Beach May Be Run Off.

New York, June 12.-The news from
Albany that the anti-race track gam
bling bills had at last passed the SEN
ate and awaited only the signature of
Governor Hughes to make them laws,
was received with CONSERVATION by the
followers of horse racing in the Metro
politan district. Even up to the last
moment the prevailing opinion among
the followers OF the sport seemed to
have been that something would hap
pen to prevent the final passage OF the
bills.
The result had been so close before
and there had been passed SO long a
period Of time between the first and
second vote that they appeared to be
sure that the whole matter had been
taken care Of
Even the arrival Of Senator F'oelker
at Albany at the eleventh hour did
not seem to disturb this feeling and as
late as when the voting began in the
senate chamber there were those who
refused to believe that there was even
the remotest chance Of bills going
through. The question which arose
Immediately following the announce
ment Of the bills was What will be
the effect on racing in the Metropoli-
tan district?" To those most deeply in
terested this is a momentous question
indeed as the season is yet young and
several Of the larger and more import
ant stake events of the year are still
to be run.
These include the Suburban handi-
cap and the historic F'uturity which are
looked upon as two of the most import
ant and greatest events of the year on
the American turf. It is generally be-
lieved that despite the death Of the
Percy Grey law, racing would be con-
tinued, but still the decision OF the race
track owners and managers on this
point was awaited with eager interest.
James b. Hagen said he thought
that the death kneI Of horse racing IN
this state had been sounded
"I think this will kill horse racing IN
New York state" he said, and l am
surprised at it's passage. ! cont see
how purses can now be paid"
no Won think now, that betting will
he stoned. that people will remain
awav from the tracks," he was asked.
1T certainly do. Those who fill up
the stands and who pay for seats will
not go when they have no chance TO
get their money back. l think the OIL
is a disastrous blow at racing"
James r. Keene, owner OF Colin ana
Ceit and of some Of the greatest Amer
lean racers of former years, dechned 10
discuss the purpose Of the bills.
While no official statement was
made, it is believed that the Sleeps
head Bay meeting and that at Brlsnton
beach which Immediately follows 1t
will be run off as scheduled. The sara
toga meeting, however, probably will be
cut down to II days. final decision
regarding the fall meetings is expected
to be made later.

FTTZ AS AN UMPIRE.
Crowd Numerically Guyed Him But
He Got $500.

Portland, Ore, June 12.-Bob Fitz-
simmons helped O'Connell umpire,
taking care of base decisions, and he
was fierce. If the judgment Of the
crowd counts for anything. Fitz was
numerically grilled by the specta-
tors, Of whom they were many, and
he took 1t all without any come back.
Fitz seemed about as much at home

third of the plays. But he got a hun
