Horsemen Kick
on Methods Used
by the Fair Asso

Several protests have been regis
tered by horsemen against the stabling
conditions on the State fair track and
the method which the Fair associa-
ton uses regarding the upkeep of the
track and the prevailing training ia
cilities offered the various owners.
It is contended by horse owners
that conditions here are such that they
cannot quarter their horses in Rich
mond. and instead of the fair associa-
ton having a large number of horses
in quarters here, the stables are not
nearly full This lie due to several
causes, so horsemen say. One allega-
ton is that the track is not kept in
condition and owners cannot afford to
run the risk Of injuring their horses
on 1t when training. Another Is that
there is tax of 81 per month per
stall. which the horsemen declare to
be unjust, as they get free stalls else
where.
or course, during the fair 1t is Diff
ferent. Then horses are wanted, but
some that would probably come stay
away on account of existing condi-
tons This means that local feed
dealers, who would profit. as well as
merchants, who would get the spend
ing change of the attendants and
stablemen. lose. The McGrath and
Earring stable, now Quartered at Ports
town, wanted to put UP on the local
track, but for the conditions cited
above they stayed elsewhere Horse
men VINO want TO race here during fair
week pass through the city and carry
their horses to other tracks.

PREP SCHOOLS
IN A TANGLE

John Marshall high school and the
Richmond academy did not play the
championship game scheduled for
points as to eligibility Of certain high
school players and the unwillingness
of that team to play an exhibition
game.
Several of the games have been
thrown out of the standing. and 9TH
ers have been protested on the same
grounds. 1t seems that each prin-
cipai is supposed to certify that the
players representing his school have
made certain grades in their studies
which is required under a clause gov
erning the prep league, and that his
statement shall be in the hands of
the other principals at least Ave days
before the date OF the game
Both Academy and McGuire's claim
to have fulfilled these conditions, and
have made reports that each of their
players was eligible to compete in
the championship games Academy
holds. however, that the high school
has not lived up to the requirements
of the league constitution, and yes
terday refused TO play any cham
pionship game with them except un-
der protest.
1t is claimed by the high school
supporters that letter containing the
statement as to the eligibility of their
players was filed before the first game
and that as they have not as yet re-
ceived grades for another month

1t is doubtful if Mr.. johnson would
constitute himself a committee of one
to upset the rules of baseball. AS a
matter of fact, he has no authority to
do so, as there is nothing in the rules
prohibiting player from secreting
