RACING ON new YORK
TRACKS CLOSE TODAY
Last Bugle Call Will Be Sounded at
Belmont Park Course for the
Season in that State.

Taps sound today at the Belmont track;
the bugle call that ends the most sue
cessful season of racing in the entire
history of the New York turf
The Old-timers who used to shoot folks
fun Of stories about the glorious racing
robbed Of their ammunition. Never be
fore has the aggregate crowd been larger;
no reason ever has brought about the es-
tablishment of so many new records; the
1916 purses, in total, eclipse any thing of
the bygone years.
From the opening Of the season on May
IS until the curtain drops today at Bel
mont. each and every one of the ninety
nine days Of racing has been a success.
Ge crowd rarely went below 1000 or
5000 even on the smallest attendance. At
Belmont the turnout times has gone far
beyond 10000. Jamaica had several
crowds almost as huge. The Jamaica
track on three or four occasions was peo-
Piled by close to 15,OCO. The Empire track
in YOnkeTs drew capacity crowds on four
cr fve Of its sixteen days: while all the
records for total attendance We're smash
- during the twenty-fOur days at Sara
tOga.
80 great was the throng at Saratoga
that on at least half dozen occasions it
was packed to its very limit. This has
caused the Ofici,ls to plan an Increase in
the C7nar-- plant before the 1917
season comes along. ~ q
One ". atUres OF the entire
season was tu.t it was comparatively
free from scandal. On only few OCca-
sIOns We're winning horses disqualified on
account Of fouling-a high tribute to the
watchful officials whose slogan was
clean racing"
The fall racing season will get under
way on the Maryland tracks on Tuesday
afternoon. when the Hartford Agricultural
and Breeders Association throw open
their gates at the IIavre de Grace (NIdD
track. With the opening of Havre de
Grace track the races will be seen in
these parts until the first day Of Decem-
her. and local followers of the turf an
ticipate the greatest boom in racing seeE.
In this vicinity in a long time.

KILBANE MAY FIGHT
TITLE HOLDER WELSH

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 1O.-Every expert
in the country now is yelling for a bout
between Freddie Welsh. the lightweight
champion, and Kilbane. This surely
would be a great treat and It would draw
an immense crowd. AS soon as the
Clevelander had disposed Of CLANCY 1t
was suggested to Hinkel that he stage
such a mill Matt, for an instant only,
insisted that he might quit promoting,
but the more he thought of the sugges-
ton the deeper he thought, so 1t would
not be surprising II he goes after Welsh.
Hinkel proved that he is not only a
capable promoter but fair referee at
Cedar Point. There is no doubt that he
would be acceptable to Kilbane and his
manager, Jimmy Dunn, but whether or
not Welsh would stand for another ar
bitter than Billy Roche is the question.
However, the public will have a say II
a controversy arises and both boxers
will be compelled to listen to the talk
Of the people who pay the freight
After his bout with CLANCY, KiIbane
admitted that he will go after the light
weights, and indeed he will have to, for
there are no other feathers for him to
box. CLANCY was at the top Of the class
and was outclassed, so boys like Matt
Brock, Eddie Morgan, and Bobby Reyn-
olds would have no chance with the title
holder.

New York. Sept. 1O.-"FightIng Jim
Gilmore, once the peppery president of
the now extinct Federal League believes
majority of the former OUTLAW ball
players who are now in the American and
National leagues. are making good.
When seen recently Gilmore was will
ing enough to talk about the defunct
organization and its demise. And GIL
more is happy over the fact that he is no
longer the president OF a baseball league
What do you think OF some Of your
former bali players now that they have
stepped into the major leagues?" Gil
more was asked.
There are several of them who were
giving a good account of themselves even
when they were in the Federal League"
he replied. He mentioned Nick CuIlop

bly, Anderson, Allen, Mcconnell, Plank

Kauff, ROusCh, Mann, Flack and others
These Gilmore declared, look as though
they're going to hold their berths in the
majors. Asked particularly regarding
Benny Kauff. the former Federal League
head stanchly stood by his fallen swat
king.
Il believe Kauff is a great ball player"
he said, "and I believe his trouble this
year is that he is swinging at bad ones
and is refusing to follow the advice of
McGraw. He always was too eager to
swing at the bad ones
Asked regarding the financial loss the
Federal League sustained during its tor
mented existence, Gilmore smiled and
said:
That's a secret; I'm going to keep it.
We lost money, but we're not kicking,
and we're going to let the public have
good long guess at the amount I
haven't told any one and don't intend
