DURNELL CAUSING

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. THE Dur
nell case Is stll the big thing in turf
politics.
Be it known. that Just 90 the news
came from New York announcing his
suspension, Durnel had received a con
tract from =. r. Thomas, OF New York
to train for him in 1905. When Thomas
learned OF the Jockey Cabs action he
was Beside himself. The sx-owner Of
Hermis is q powerful man financially
and in other ways in New York racing.
He owns the only racing publication
in the East, the New York Telegraph.
Judging from the attitude OF that sheet
toward the Jockey Club and August
Belmont and Sammy Rowland, Thomas
intends to make fight for the appsr-
emit affrOnt flung at him. Thomas was
to pay Durnell $1,000 a year, and he
intended spendipg $4,000 in getting to
gether a good stable OF useful horses.

and Durnell c0llided early in the au-
tumn. Durnens friends are wondering
what part FARRELL had 10 the undoing
OF the young horseman.
Farrell had engaged Durnen's boy.
Dugan, TO ride Grapple in a stake event
some two weeks before the running. A
few hours before the race Farrell took
down Dugan and substituted some one
else. Durneu was annoyed. Later on
IN the- autumn Durneu refused TO allow
Dugan to rider under the Farrell silks.
Whether Farrell thought Durneu and
Gates might beat him to the price or
that DUgan might pull his horse can
not be stated. Probably IL was the fear
Of an avalanche Of Gates money, and a
drop IN the market. Since the episode
Farrell and DurneU have not been any
too friendly.
DurnelI VIII Be on Hand.
DurneH will again be IN New York
this summer. He won't openly train
any stable, but he will be Just as active
as ever; and the newspapers win feat
ure him as Of yore. 1t looks like the
artful young man is destined TO be a
thorn in the side OF August Belmont
and the turf government for many
years TO come. Should the Jockey Club
debar Durnen from its courses g would
have to show cause wheTefor.
