to Fight the Jockey Club

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-H. D.
Brown. the well-known race-track
promoter. and owner of Laurel Track,
passed through here last night en-
route to Cuba, where he is now plan
ming TO construct an up-to-date track
in Havana.
Mr.. Brown was questioned regard
ing the fact that the New York
Jockey Club had temporarily refused

meeting at Laurel.
There is no such thing in reality
as the New York Jockey Club" said
Mr.. Brown, other than a body of
four men who have banded them
selves into a self-called jockey club.

anything pertaining to a race track
than you have, and I doubt IL as
much.
II have made up my mind to bring
this matter to an issue and let the
court decide if such a body really ex-
lists. legally, and If their edicts and
commands are TO be obeyed by the
and track owners through
out this country"

There was a time when only British

boxing game in such an enthusiastic
manner, there lis nothing certain for
the Britishers now, when 1t comes

Safer will be rated as one of the
top-notchers next season. Fans and
critics began to recognize him toward
the close of the last campaign when
he first began TO display high-class
qualities. In the spring he was
rather timid and did not play his
position as we'll as he did later. He
lacked the aggressiveness required Of
