Several Golfing Stars
Threatened With Trouble

NEW YORK. May 21.-Standing pat
on the rating of Francis Ouimet as
a professional, the eligibility list of
the United States Golf Association
issued today does not include the
name of the Boston star In the roster
of amateurs. Several noted golfers
are in danger OF losing their standing,
IL Is said.
One OF the most significant omis-
sions, too, is that of Albert w. TIL
linghast, of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club. Tillinghast, now q links archi-
tect, is by special exemption immune
on this grounds, so 1t is clear the
national organization has some other
count against him. Others, who are
dropped from amateur rating are:
Arthur G.. Lockwood, j. II. Sullivan,
jr.. and Paul Tucksbury, all of Bos-
ton.
John G. Anderson, Jerome Travers,
and "Chick" Evans, of Chicago, who
were threatened with trouble in re-
tanning their amateur standing.

Close at Prospect Park
Track.

The meeting at Prospect Park will
close Tuesday. and on Thursday MARI
boro will open it's gates for session Of
five days more. Tho Southern Mary
land people. as usual will give a fair
in connection with the racing. One OF
the noteworthy features of the fair last
season was the horse show, which VIII
have many added attractions this year,
among them an exhibition for the army
officers. which promises to be we'll
patronized.
The book OF conditions for the races
has been issued. and provides for eight
or more races every day with purses OF
1900 and handicaps of $500. Plenty Of
material Is In sight to fill out the pro-
grams. Besides the horses now racing at
Prospect Park a detachment of seventy
or eighty shipped direct from Pimlico
will be on hand. Following Marlboro
there will be five days meeting at the
wind up racing in Maryland until the
fall.
Prospect Park is being well patronized
by the public. which. up to the present
time has had n very profitable season.
The horses have been running true to
form. and the form students have been
picking the winners with an accuracy
rather painful to the gentle layers.
