TO CHANGE BETTING
AT JEFFERSON PARK
District AttOrney-elect Wants
Stakeholder - Bullet
Proof a Winner.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
NEW ORLEANS, La. Dec. 2.-Fear of
legal restrictions that might AFFECT the
future of the racing season developed
with the statements OF the District Attor-
ney-elect of Jefferson and Orleans
parishes, after the former had declared
that he had found fragrant violations of
the Locke law during his visit to Jeffer-
son Park on Wednesday.
The attitude OF the incoming Orleans
Parish official Is accepted as proof that
a return to the old stakeholder system
must prevail at the forthcoming Fair
Grounds meeting If the term Is to proceed
without legal interference. To-day there
was no change in the conduct OF the
methods employed here for the last three
years but there was a general belief that
only the official heads of the Business
Mems Racing Association. which controls
the Fair Groun Is. will save the present
dismal outlook. The new administration
takes office on December s.
The racing today was keenly con-
tested. It's brightest performer was Bull
let Proof which showed himself about
the best performer of the young season
when he took the feature. handicap. run
ming six furlongs in / :12 rs, 1-5 of a
second behind the track record Under
interference, raced around his opposition
and drew away easily in the stretch to
win from Panaman. Rapid Day. Angon
and st. Quentin. the other starters. An
gon performed poorly. to the keen disap-
pointment OF the Kentucky delegation,
who had backed him into substantial IA
vorite.
Parader's score completed a double
for the Clopton colors, when he won
over an ordinary lot in the third. Two
other favorites performing In the Clop-
ton colors were less fortunate. Dannell.

throughout the running of the opener
and finished among the trailers, while
Verify. the prohibitive choice In the
fourth. was pocketed for the greater
part Of the Journey and lacked speed
when she finally gained clear headway
through the stretch run. Pullux and
Arch Potter were other favorites that
fell throughout the day.
