Benny Mitchell. the present Middle
Atlantic Association champion, at
this weight. seems to be the probable
winner but will have to dispose of
many good men to land the title in
this. One of the most formidab BILE
contenders will be Benny Cohen, of
Orange, also Edward MaclSin, of the
Jersey Harriers, of Bayonne The
Turner's are pinning their faith on
William Hagney, who is a very clever
and scientific boxer, and who will
give a good account of himself.
The 15S-pound class does not show

JOCKEY CLUBS
TO COOPERATE
IN SPORT'SAID
Propose Subscription Fund to
Put Racing on It's Feet
Again.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s.-It is pub
lished here as IAN almost assured
fact" that horse racing will be re-
yived on New York tracks next June
for the first time since the anti-bet-
ting legislation Of Governor Charles
e. Hugffes's administration brought
turf activities to a standstill. No an
nouncement has come officially from
the Jockey Club, which is the govern
ing body of the racing associations,
or from the associations themselves,
but the reports in sporting circles
are said to bear the stamp of such
authority
These reports are that coopera-
tive plan will be tried, whereby the
various associations will combine to
share losses and profits alike until
the sport has been firmly re-estab-
lished. A subscription fund among
the associations is proposed as the
initial move, and it said that this
proposal has already met with such
favor that the opening of few race
courses is assured directly after the
closing of the spring meetings in
Maryland the latter part of May.
-Four tracks are named for the cir
cult at present, the Belmont Park,
Aqueduct and Yonkers tracks in the
immediate vicinity of the metropo-
lis and the old Saratoga track up
state.
The Jockey Club has recently held
a meeting to consider the situation as
affected by a Supreme Court decision
on an oral-betting case whereby the
court held that the directors of the
racing associations were not liable
for oral betting within their enclos-
ures. Another meeting of the Jockey
Club is scheduled for the near future
when something official may be learn
ed of the present reports.
