Jockey Club Puts the Ban on
Meeting at Marlboro.
MAKES RESOLUTION CLEAR
Frank Chance Says Cubs Are
Doomed to a Place in the
Second Division.

AS suggested in The Tribune yesterday
the Jockey Club will not grant license
for a race meeting at the Marlboro track
in Maryland, which has been advertised
to run from November 13 to November ~
because Of the rule providing a limited
number Of days for any fair association.
In order that no misunderstanding should
arise the resolution adopted on FEBRUARY
s, which seems TO have been open TO a
wrong Interpretation, was amended at a
meeting OF the Jockey Club yesterday 10
read as follows:
Resolved, That where races are held
under the auspices Of bona fide fair as
ISOLATION, in connection with the inter :
ests of the fair association Itself ana not
OF lessee, the Jockey Club will not gran I
a license, but will not take cognizance OF
such races as being In violation or its
rules; provided, however, that no other
Irregularities come TO its attention, ana
provided the meeting does not continue
in any one year for more than five days
in the State OF New York and ten DAYS
in states other than New York.
Resolved, That the associations holding
race meetings during the year 1917 undeT
a license from the Jockey Club, be warned
that any dates granted shall not be con-
strued as extending a meeting for racing
as a state or county fair or horse show
Following this the assistant secretary
was instructed to send the following let
ter TO Richard s. Hill, president Of the
Southern Maryland Fair Association, at
Marlboro
The published advertisement by the
Southern Maryland Fair Association an.
nouncing a race meeting on November Is
TO % has been brought TO the attention
Of the stewards Of the Jockey Cluo.
I am instructed to inform you that the
Jockey Club cannot countenance the races
you propose TO hold, presumably In ac-
cordance with the Jockey Clubs resoIu-
ton of February 8, 1912. This resolution
was intended TO apply 10 only one meet
ing In any one year.
In order that there may be no misun-
Outstanding on this subject the resolution
has been amended as per copy inclosed,
and is considered as applying TO your
present meeting.
Those present at the meeting were
August Belmont, F. r. Hitchcock. II. X.
Knapp, Andrew Miller and Schuyler l..
Parsons.
Frank Chance, deposed manager OF the
Chicago Cubs. who is visiting at Alhu-
querque, " NJ. on his way to Los Ange-
les. is quoted as saying:
THE club next season will be a second
division team, and everybody knows 1t.
Murphy alone is responsible. He refused
to give me money with which to get new
players, and he is now face 20 face with
the condition that I predicted"
Charley Murphy is said TO be angling
for Doolan, shortstop Of the Phillies, and
expects Garry Hermann 10 arrange some
three-cornered deal in order to get Joe
Tinker TO manage the Reds.
Casey Hagerman, a pitcher who had
trial with the Boston Red Sox last spring,
has applied 10 the National Commission
for a share Of the worlds series receipts.
Hagerman was purchased by Boston
from Denver a year ago. but after
short trial was sent back to the Grizzlies.
When he learned that his salary had been
cut by the Denver club he refused to re-
port. He put on a uniform every day
and practIsed with the Red sox. His
name was not among those eligible 10
participate in the big games, and II is
not likely that he will get a slice OF the
baseball melon at this late day.
Billy Ciymer, who handled the wilkes
Barre club Of the New York State League
last season, IS said TO be the man who
will get the place left vacant by George
Stallings as manager OF tho Buffalo club

velop or find a good man to Ill his shoes

Young Jack O'Brien had the better OF
"One Round" Hogan In a fast six-round
fight before the American Athletic Club,

gan did a lot OF forcing. but o'Brien's
left hand leads and his right hand cross
