Kreuger, the fly chaser secured from the

The Western League, like the National,

ALL THE NEWS AND GOSSIP IN THE SPORTING WORLD
RACE TRACKS IN COMBINATION
Four New York Associations Pool
Interests.
Combine Is Necessary for PrOtec.
tiOn-Owners Satisfied to Pay
Expenses This Season.

New York. Feb. 25.-Fotr Of the local
race tracks-Brighton Beach. Empire City,
Aqueduet, and Jamaica-have pooled in
terests for the coming season. It ap-
pears that the recent puzzle over the allot-
ment of dates made this combination nee
essary, and as a result these associations
will divide up the profits or losses that
may result from eighty-two days of sport
The idea originated from the fact that
the big tracks-Sheepshead, Gravesend,
and Belmont-have been pooling the holi-
day receipts on Decoration Day, July 4,
and Labor Day-although Gravesend does
not secure one Of these plums in its allot-
ment
When it was found. therefore. that these
big tracks insisted on having the usual
quota of dates. including the holidays.
and that Saratoga positively demanded at
least twenty-one days. while Empire City
and Brighton declined to hold fall meet
ings. 1t was suggested that the four asso-
Citations named above should combine for
mutual protection.
1t was with a feeling OF harmony that
this settlement was agreed upon, and II
materially paved the way for the ar
rangement of the schedule which was an
nounced recently. While Aqueduct and
Jamaica will each race twenty-eight days,
Empire City will conduct a meeting of
twelve days and Brighton will be open
fourteen days only. Yet the new combina-
ton as a unit win have plenty Of action.
1t is not expected that racing will be a
profitable investment this year. In fact
all Of the track owners viii be satisfied
II they are able TO pay expenses.

ADVISORY MARKS TO COONT
High School Athletic Heads Make
New Rule.
Deficient Ball Players Get Another
Chance TO Play This Season.
Must Pass in Two Weeks.

At a meeting Of the athletic advisors
Of the local high schools at the Central
High School yesterday it was ruled that
hereafter advisory marks would deter
mine the eligibility or inengibiIity OF high
school athletes. Under the old ruling.
players who had fiunked in their previ-
Gus semester's marks were debarred from
entering the sports until another semester
mark. or an examination. should pass
the student in the study IN which he had
fiunked. Now. instead Of having 10 wait
for half year to roll around, the ath-
lete who is delinquent IN his studies viii
be permitted TO repeat the subject ana
make a passing advisory mark, which
will make him eligible.
THIS ruling viii permit many OF the
high school baseball men now under the
ban because Of the deficiencies in studies
| to brush up in the next two weeks and
pass the first advisory mark of the sec
ond semester, thus earning the right to
play this year.
The rule works both ways-ahoWever,
and the fellows who have been neglect
Ing their studies because they felt safe
behind passing mark last semester will
have TO hustle to make UP for lost time.
The next advisory mark goes in In six
weeks. and thus VIII give the ones who
are too far behind TO catch up in two
weeks chance 10 practice with the team
and get in on some OF the high school
championship games later on.
