Promoters OF Hawthorne Meet VIII
Suffer No Financial Loss and
Plan to Enlarge Classic

Chicago, July 24.-With the seized
uled Hawthorne meeting more than
half gone, turfmen have begun to try
10 answer for themselves the question,
What will be the effect?
Does it mean that meetings of rea-
SOnabIe duration will be permitted
around Chicago under the same cOndi-
tiOns in the future? Has the attend
ance been sufficient to influence pos
sibIe legislation in Illinois? VIII the
glimpse of racetrack profits tempt 9th
er organizations to ignore law and put
the sport again under a total eclipse
so far as Chicago is con Cerned?
Apparently the promoters of the
present meeting are not going to suffer
financial loss, if they do not actually
make more than expenses. That being
the case, it appears a reasonable in
ference that meetings at least as pre-
tentiOus will be tried by the Illinois
Jockey club in the future unless a form
of hostility different from that which
has been manifested at the present
meeting shows itself

OffiCiated in Moline Saturday, yet

The local club should register a big
kick on this kind of treatment. ROCK
Island has been the goat all season and
numerous games have been lost
through poor umpiring. Prexy Tear
ney worked hard to place a team in
Rock Island and if he wants to see
the game prosper here he should take
some steps to lift this curse from a
