OWNERS MUST PAY

Jockey Club Aims Blow at
Needless Scratching
Of Entries.

NEW YORK, Nov. Race tracks
will not be at the mercy OF horse own
ers next year as they We're this sum-
mer-
It is the intention Of the stewards of
the Jockey Club to pass a rule compel
ling hOrsemen to pay a percentage OF the
purse before they viii be permitted to
withdraw any entry to an overnight
race. BY this rule the stewards hope to
check wholesale scratching of horses
whenever it may suit the fancy of own
ers to do so.
It is the desire Of the Jockey Club TO
protect the patrons from being "stuHg"
such as they have been for a month
past-with enticing programs only to
find the races themselves shon OF all
chances Of a contest by the presence at
the post of one fine racer and one
plug" In order 70 prevent the wreck
ing of a days card in the future the
stewards viii reward the owners who
keep their horses in a race by only
charging an admission fee, but those
who wish 10 withdraw a horse from
a race VIII have to pay 10 per cent of
the purse in addition.
The men who control the destinies of
the turf see in this present Wholesale
scratching Of horses after they have
been entered a menace TO the Welfare
of the sport.

That harness racing can be made

one at ReadVillc last summer without

APPARENT LOSSES
EASY TO EXPLAIN
Increase in Leagues and Alleys
Scatters Oldtimers-W Washing
ton Teams Abroad.

Interest in the greatest of indoor
sports, bowling, is not on the wane as
many who visit its favorite haunts
would believe.
On the contrary, the present season
starts with many more leagues and
greater interest than in any previous
year. The answer to those who do not
see the same old gang at their former
headquarters is that the game has
spread, many new alleys have been
built, many lea CUES have changed their
bowling homes, and the game has split
At the present, while there are as many
at the big game of tenpins as in a
few years past, the devotees of the
duCkpins have increased even faster
than those of the big pins. One can
not get an idea Of the games popuI-
arity by calling at one alley, but
visit to al prove conclusively that the
bowling army is larger than ever be-
fore, and stu on the increase.
An instance Of this in tenpins is
found in the representation Washing

Detroit and the National Bowling As

more than four teams gone from Wash

At the Baltimore tournament Of he
National Association the tenpin turn

peSsimists who thought the game was
on the decline. From present indica-
tons there viii be at least twenty, and
perhaps thirty, Washington teams in
the Baltimore events, including all the
teams in the District League, the De-
partmental League, Colonial League,
and many from the other big pin
leagues

Business cannot possibly do better

Then up spoke Coach Kirby, of Cen
