tual1y a racing trust-up to two and
one-half million dollars for a winter s
season. 1t is because of the fact that
they have become conversant or rather
that they have taken pencil and paper
and the time to compile these various
amounts, that much capital had been
made of it by the so-called "reformers'
and which has had the effect of legslating
the game out of almost every state in
the union.
The further these people have delved
into the reeking mess which for years
has masqueraded under the guise of n
sport the more thoroughly convinced and
fixed has become the belief that all yes
tige of sport" has been eliminated and
that everything is subordnated to the
betting ring.
Not the Same Sport.
In former years when one was wont to
visit the course on DERBY Day. there
to witness some grand equine struggle
solely because of the hereditary knowl-
edge of ones choice, the matter of breed
ing, ETC., all is now changed No longer
do critics deal or dilate upon the merits
of this or that campaigner because of
his progenitors, but rather upon the gil
gantic and spectacular eoups of this or
that gambler who, to use the turf YER
nacular, took the ring by the ear that
afternoon. Then, too, it has been proven
during the present winter season that
racing associations, not content to corral
a gigantic sum, as has been cited here,
have allowed themselves to be co-opera-
tive in the arranging or manipulation of
races, thus dragging the sport many
more steps lower.

alton of the earnings of the management

TENNIS CHAMPIONS
COMING TO DIXIE

Atlanta, Ca, February 2S.-(Speeial)-
William A. Larned, tennis champion of
America. may make spring tour through
the south for tennis and shooting, and
Pell and Grant are likely to be contend
ers for doubles and singles championship
honors in the annual southern champion
ship and in at least two other southern
events-yery probably the Tennessee and
Georgia state championships.
Theodore Roosevelt Pell and Wylie c.
Grant, who will undoubtedly perform in
the south this summer. have just won
the national indoor tennis championship
and rank right near the top in the ten
mis- world
If they come south 1t will be for the
express purpose of winning the doubles
championship of the south which will
give them the right, also the expense
money, of going to the national doubles
event in Chicago, for the championship
of the United States.
Pell and Grant have agreed to come il
there is no kick on the part of the South
ern association. As soon as this. became
known officials of the association wrote
to Pell and Grant and invited them to
come south.

New York, February 2s.-Thos lit
tie Driscoll chaps are fighters, all right.
If you have any doubt about it, just
ask Able Attell and frankie Neil.
Attell can tell you about Jem, and
Neil can give pretty good line on
Patsy (alias "Boyo").
That Jem had all the best of Attell
in their 10-round bout here the other
night IS the universal opinion of those
who saw tho battle. 1t did not decide
the championship because in 10
round bout with no decision If both
men are on thei rfeet at the end of the
bout, it would be manifestly unfair to
pass q championship title.
The superiority Of Driscoll was SO
apparent, however. in the short route
that a real fight between these two
lads is absolutely necessary to clear
the title. Either Attell must go to
England or Driscoll must go with him
to the coast, when the question Of SUI
periority may be definitely decided
The bout between Boyo and frankie
Neil was close. Expert opinion differs
as to whom the decision should have
gone. My own Judgment is that Drisoo1l
had a shade the better of it. Another
fight at a longer distance also is due
from these boys. I understand the boys
will meet again in the near future at
the same club. After the bout the
manager of the club offered them terms
to engage in another battle, and they
Immediately accepted them. Their next
bout ought to be another hummer.

tam-weight champion. He retained his
title by beating Johnny DAILY, the
sturdy local bantam weight, in a 10
