RACING MAY START
IN NEW YORK STATE
Several metropolitan Tracks
to Open With Jockey Clubs
Consent This Season. j,

NEW YORK. February 21.-From the
wording of a statement issued after meet
ingS yesterday of the stewards of the
Jockey Club and officials of several rae
ing associations. the impression prevails
among racing men that the powers that
govern horse racing i'm this vicinity have
about decided to open some of the metro
poltan tracks during the coming season.
The way is held to have been paved for
such action by recent court decision
holding oral betting not unlawful, thereby
exempting directors of racing associa-
tions from liability or betting in this
form.
Because all the racing associations were
not represented. officials OF the Empire
City, Brighton Beach and Jamaica race
tracks being absent. no definite conclu-
sion was announced as to whether rae
ing would be resumed. That such is the
intention, however, could be inferred
from the statement made after the meet
ing. that owing to the great reduction
in the number of horses racing and the
definite programs announced by the VIZ
ginia and Maryland associations. which
have already secured approval from th6
Jockey Club. those spring meetings VIII
not be confiicted with "
The view taken by those interested was
that at the conclusion of racing in Nir-
ginia and Maryland, about May -, some
Of the New York racing associations ami
clubs would reopen their race courses and
hold meetings under licenses from the
state racing commission. with the ap-
proval of the Jockey Club.
In a statement issued by the stewards.
after discussing the matter, they declared
that the Jockey Club is only a super
visory body and does not control the busi-
ness policy of any of the racing associa-
tions 1t is not I'm its province TO say
whether there shall be racing. 1t was
pointed out. but should any of the asso-
Citations decide to open their courses the
Jockey Club controls the manner in which
such racing shall be conducted.
Chairman August Belmont presided at
the meeting Of the Jockey Club stewards.
during which F. X. Sturgs was elected
vice chairman in the place of the late
James Il. Keene, and H. k. Knapp was
elected secretary and treasurer. the offices
formerly held by +. X. StLrgis. The only
steward absent was F. r. Hitchcock. who
is now i'm Aiken, S. {. The vacancy
caused by the death of James r. Keene

HIGH COST OF ATHLETICS"
Dean Briggs of Harvard Not Sure of
Effect on Players.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, February 21-"r
am not sure that the enormous outlay or
money on the athletic teams at the college
has increased the chance Of victory, and
am sure that il has damaged some play
ers" declares Dean lie Baron r. Briggs.
chairman of the committee on the regu-
lation of athletic sports at Harvard Col
lege. in his annual report, which was
made public here last night.
Dean Briggs SAYS further:
In certain things related To athletic
games the college should spare no eX-
pense; for example. she should studiously
and at any cost reduce the danger to life
and limb
Discussing the luxurious living of coll
lege athletes" the report says:
"A boy, poor when he comes and poor
when he goes. gets a bad start in the
struggle for a living if ne has learned To
regard costly food. automobiles on the
slightest provocation, free entertainment
in hours of leisure and refreshments as
due from the world to him.
Much is being done at Harvard toward
reducing the expense of maintaining tho
athletic teams. Dean Briggs says. and in
closing he adds: Harvard has honestly
tried to play a clean game.

De 0R0'S BIG LEAD
Now Far in Front in Play for
the Pocket Billiard Title.
MAKES SPECTACULAR SHOT
Jumps Pyramid, Pockets Ball,
Breaks Bunch and Clears
the Table.

NEW YORK. February 21.-Alfredo De
Orc fairly distanced Thomas Hueston in
the second block of their match for the
night in John Doyles 42d street academy.
At juggling the ivory globes and making
them perform all sorts OF uncanny tricks
De Orc fairly surpassed himself. He
counted total of 200 balls for the night
to 131 for his challenger.
The second block was more desperately
fought than the first and ii consumed
twenty-five frames. De Orc was the VIC
tim Of four scratches, while his best runs
were 35 and -. Hueston made nine
scratches and his best run was 20 balls
The respective totals for the two nights
OF play is 400 balls for De Orc to 229 for
Hueston.
For spectacular effects the champion
produced number of shots which set the
crowd applauding. The best and most
sensational came at the beginning of the
twenty-first frame. Hueston had at
tempted safe break. The cue ball rolled
in front of the pyramid. while the free
ball lay on the end rail near a corner
pocket. Studying the situation for mo-
ment De Orc fairly lifted the spectators
from their seats by playing a jump shot
clear over the pyramid. The cue ball cut
the object ball into the pocket and on the
rebound from the cushion spread the
bunch SO prettily that the champion
quickly cleared the table.
This shot was directly inspired by a
piece OF daring on the part Of Hueston in
the inning Immediately before when with
the free balls lying near a pocket he took
a desperate chance and by banging into
the bunch managed to drive the ball into
d pocket.
AS in the first night of the contest. De
Orc began with practically clean sweep
Of the first three frames. He put the
cue to the ball rapidly. seemingly so sure
of himself that he called the next ball
before the first was in the pocket. 1t
was in the second, third and fourth
frames that he put together a run of
thirty-five balls. which stood as his best
effort Of the session. Despite all that
Hueston could do, and he played some
the advantage of the break during the
opening frames. so that he had tailed
102 balls at the end of the eleventh.
to forty-four for his challenger.
Toward the close both of the men ex-
perienced difficulties. which in the twen-
ty-second frame led to a comedy Of err
rors. Each had ten turns at the table
in this frame, and they divided the balls
evenly. 7-7.
De Orc had the better Of the final
frames. however Nothing short of a
miracle can stop him from defeating
Hueston by a wide margin in the closing
session of the match tonight.
The scores follow:
