SPORTING NOTES
RACE TRACK WIN AGAIN
IN NEW YORK HIGH COURT

Albany, June 2.-One more legal VIC
tory has been scored by the race tracks
in New York. Judges of the court of
appeals yesterday handed down a de-
cision which holds that the dispensing
of advance information" at the Bright
on Beach track last July was not vio-
lation of the safeguarding bills.
This matter of advance information"
is the source of revenue On which the
tracks depend and on which may now
rest the matter of daily racing in the
east, as in the old days. Under the
present system, when bettors haze been
making wagers on credit or have been
depositing their money before coming
to the Belmont course. no revenue has
come from the ring. At least that is
what the directors of the courses state.
1t is generally believed however, that
"gentleman's agreement" exists be
tween certain well known figures OF
the ring. who are always seen lounging
around about the lawns, and the own
ers of the tracks.

ting law was made last year, book

Fighting at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg. Pa, June Flight lovers
in Pittsburg have been assured that
they will see Jim Jeffries in action here
at Duquense Garden on the night of
June Is. when he will meet a man
whose name is for the present being
withheld He is to box six rounds, and
for this will receive $4,000.
The arrangements were closed over
the long distance phone by Manager A.
S. McSwigan of Duquense Garden. JEFF
did not want to go more than three
rounds, but has been induced to make
it six Jenries is informed as to the
man who will oppose him, but he is
pledged not to make 1t known for a
few days, as there is another fight in
prospect, the plans of which may be
interfered with by publicity of this
name now.
The National Sporting club Of Pitts
burg, which has been holding fights in
Pittsburg so successfully, announces
that it has nothing to do with the
Jeffries affair. When JEFF heard of the
$4,000 house to which Mccain and
Ketchel boxed here recently he an
nounced he would like a bit of the
Pittsburg money, but he refused to box
on a percentage basis.

makers in the field each paid s12 for
advance information" slips which, as
the management announced, were for
sale to any person applying. AS the
slips simply contained notice Of what
Jockeys would ride, the weight and the
entries. most Of which information
could have been obtained by purchas-
ing any morning paper, the prosecuting
attorney got busy. He claimed this was
simply subterfuge to extract slight
Nv lower rate of payment than the for
mer SIT daily, which used to be asked
for the privilege of making a book in
the field
Under the same system, now upheld
by the court of appeals, the old method
could be practically restored. 1t would
be easy to charge 800 for advance in
formation" for the same slips on the
lawn Of the clubhouse-and it would
be equally easy to expel any man sus
pected of taking a bet without having
purchased the slip.
Bookmaking circles were quietly ju-
bilant today and it is predicted that
more activity will soon be shown at
