JOCKEY CLUBS ACTION WILL

New York, March 22-The announce ment of the Jockey club that there will be no racing in New York state this year in the chief topic of discussion in sporting circles here today. Just what effect the action of the Jockey club will have on thoroughbred racing through out the country is difficult for follow CTS of the sport here to estimate. Rac- ing will now be confined to these states only:
 Louisiana, Virginia and Maryland. Both Louisiana and California have recently barred racing and Florida will follow suit April 1.

HOW GRANT WINS


 Indianapolis. Ind, March 22,-How did
 Harry Grant manage to win the great Vanderbilt cup classic twice in success sion?
 This question often asked has been | answered by the famous pilot himself,
 and the answer is merely an explana-
 ton of how he drives every motor con-
 test in which he engages. Grant has en-
 tered his reliable Alec, "Old No. 1S."
 the same with which he has won both
 Vanderbilt cup events, in the 50o-mie in-
 ternational sweepstakes race at the In-
 dianapolis motor speedway next Memo rial Day, May 90.
 Thirty cars have been entered in the S25, ,000 race and many of them are special racing cars built specially for the event. l Against these will be the Alec car which Grant hurled around the Wander bilt course. He has the greatest faith i, in his ability to win the big race with "Old No. 1S." Grant is regarded by many motoring experts as the greatest Amer l ican driver His methods are very diff | ferent from those which distinguish some of the more brilliant and spectacular
 drivers. He seldom shows any desire early in the race to forge to the front
 or to set pace. His method is more | conservative. Someone said Grant
 doesn't run a race; he thinks it." Grant plans out the degree of speed necessary
 to win, then drives according to that schedule.
 l Tn the second Vanderbilt last October | I.s.
 until the last 50 miles. But he won. He
 had the faith in his car which he knew
 would respond to the limit of the mechan- ism's ability. when he called on it to respond, and faith in his judgment to know the right minute to make that de- | mand.
 There has been considerable talk among 1 men interested in automobile racing as l to what this race would have to be | ridden in to win. George Robertson the | famous driver who has now permanently l left the track is of the opinion that the | race will be won in at least an average l of 75 miles an hour. The Vanderbilt | race last October was won in an aver | age of 652 miles per hour and the win ming Alec was well within it's power at l that time. .
 l In addition to the s250OO offered by the | Speedway, two companies have offered 1 5000 for the winners. The first accessory l maker to make offer was the Remy | Electric company of Anderson. Ind This l company will give the winner of the
 long grind an additional 5000 if the car IS | Remy equipped. The other offer is made by the Columbia Lubricants company, l makers of Monogram oils This purse IS I known as the Monogram Oil stake, and
 is for 5000, divided into four prizes for the first four drivers to finish. The l amounts offered to each in order are $500,
 S25O, $15O, and $100. It is expected that
 the total prizes to be won in the seven- hour grind will be about $40,000

 The action of the Jockey club affects eight running tracks in this state The aggregate value of the plantn thus made idle. is about $12,5OO,Oo0, divided as fol- lows.

 Fully 1000 thoroughbreds will be thrown out of training and about 40,G0O persons employed directly CT indirectly in con necton with the racing game will he compelled to seek work elsewhere.
 The financial loss from the closing of the tracks as estimated by racing men here will be in the neighborhood of s20,- 000,000 a year. This includes the loss of interest on the real estate and other in- vestments. Then it is figured that l4e patrons of racing have been accustomed to spend s10,000000 annually in New York city and large sums also in Saratoga and Buffalo. The annual expenditures of the racing associations have generally ex- ceeded $6,000,000 and the railroad shares in the disbursements has included about s1,50o,0o0 spent for fares and freight.
