ASSOCIATIONS
MAY LIMIT TIE
RACING PURSES

The County Fairs Association,
formed at West Chester, Pa. early last
December by representatives Of the
Philadelphia. Lancaster. Wilmington,
Pottstown, West Chester and Oxford
Fair Associations, held a meeting in
philadelphia last week, when import
ant business was transacted.
The following associations we're
represented: Lancaster, by J. +. Sell
domridge: Wilmington. by S. II. viii
son. Jr., and Joseph Davidson; West
Chester. by c. c. Townsend and Nor
ris G. Temple; Philadelphia and
Pottstown, by Walter L. Baker. The
Oxford Association was not repre-
sented at this meeting.
II was decided to increase the dues
of the association 80 as to permit
OF a greater amount OF advertising
by the association for the various
fairs holding membership. The adj
visibility OF limiting all purses in
trotting and pacing races TO $500 and
upward was also considered, to be
decided at the next meeting, as will
also the idea OF issuing folder form
OF entry blanks, giving the classes
and purses of all members Of this cir
cult on a single sheet. as has been
done with apparent success by a
number OF other racing circuits in
the past.
All the associations represented
reported prospects of a successful
season for 1914 Several OF the fairs
will increase their purses and add
more attractive classes for the COM
ing seasons sport. A meeting OF the
circuit members will be held next
month IN Wilmington.

a statement given out IN Chicago he
declared the American League was
tired OF the tyranny Of Ban john

he will have little time for battle.
The muss In the National League
has so ovcrshadowed any real base

making OF new alliance between
the American and Federal Leagues
