So Says Expert GOcher-Latest Chatter About Horses and

By ". H. GOCHER.

A few years ago someone coined the slogan The earning capacity of the
 trotter must be increased" It soon dropped into the discard, as there
 was only two ways to do it, one be ing to give the horses more oppor-
 tunities to race and the other to in crease the purses. The latter was
 adopted. A number of associations following the lead of Buffalo offered
 9 series of early closing events for large amounts. None of them, how ever. with the exception of the two handicaps at Readville, the Kentucky Futurity In 1894, and the four year old race which Silicon won at Terre Haute, were above the S2O.0OO standard fixed by the mother of the Grand Circuit"

JOE LYNCH AGAIN TAC ES CL EVER LONDON ONG
OPORTORIALO BY E ROGER TERRI

ENI HEN a boxing manager accepts w & percentage proposition from any promoter for the services of his boxer it is generally understood by all concerned that he has assumed Il gamble and that the aforementioned promoter Is under no obligation, un- less otherwise specihved, to dig down into his pocket in the event that the gate recenpts are not what they were expected to be.
 In other word, a manager accept ing a percentage match should be prepared for the worse and if the money attracted Is not as much ns was expected, he should not feel that the promoter can afford to stand an eleventh hour holdup.
 Anyway, rules apparently mean nothing to one Jack Bulger, who took Zoe Yelling of Chicago to New Haven last Saturday night. Joe was billed to box Paul Doyle of the Elm City and for his services thought enough of his ability to attract boxing fans that he accepted 25 per cent. of the box office receipts. Which meant that Bulger accepted a gamble. And 8 gamble means just what 1t says: that Bulger was content with taking
 
 But the snowstorm of Friday inter 1erred and was so heavy that over the long distance telephone Bulger urged the promoters to postpone the show until Saturday night. Jacks request was granted and Saturday he and his 'battler went to New Haven But the attendance was anything but fiatter- 1ng to Wellings drawing ability Every man in the house was attra cted there by Doyle judging by the ap- plause given him upon his entrance into the ring.
 one glance at the crowd was enough for BuIger. He knew that there wasn't enough in the house to give him $50 for his end, so he went into the box office and seeking out Promoter Andy Guilano, Immediately proceeded to pull the 11th hour hold up act The approach surprised and disappointed those who listened to / Jacks prehistoric tale of woe. But he held his stand and demanded $50 or no fight,
