referee Dan Griffin.
Pitts continued on the receiving end
chrough the second round, when Ten
dler scored two knock-dowrs. Although
Pitts managed to keep his feet until
the referee stopped the affair he took
q terrific beating in each session.
In the seventh Tender started an
other fierce onslaught, giving particular
attention to body blows. One Of
these. a left-hand smash, was plainly
low and Pitts sank to the floor. The
raferee then waived Tender to his
corner and declared Pitts the winner.
Tender weighed 1871 and Pitts

action was contemplated against mem
bers of Yale athletic teams, as sug-
gested in an announcement from
Princeton last night. DR. Greenway
issued this statement:
"No question concerning the eligi-

raised before the board of control or
before it's executive committee. Any
question of eligibility would be re-
ferred to the executive committee"
Dr. Greenway spoke for the board in

Kentucky Stake in Conflict
With Jockey Club Program

the best Of the colts of that age to the
post IN a test with the cracks of the
handicap division. In speaking Of the
proposed offering of the Kentucky
Jockey Club yesterday, Chairman Au-
gust Belmont, of the Jockey Club, had
the following to say:
ut is to be deplored that the vari-
Gus racing associations in the East,
Maryland and Kentucky, do not CO.
operate for the best interests of che
turf in giving an intelligent sequence
of stakes, both as regards distances
and values, in order that the scientifi-
cally gauged leading horses of the
turf may be correctly tagged in turf
history for the breeder. It happens
sometimes, though rarely, that horse
like Man O'War SO outclasses his con-
temporaries that this accurate process
Of elimination is not essential.
"Intelligent competition and rivalry
in stakes Of traditional interest is one
thing, but crowding conspicuous events
upon horse owners and trainers smacks
a little of'the commercial. and reminds
one Of the confused state Of mind Of
the spectator when he attends a three
ring circus. Time is not given owners
and trainers to properly fit their
their horses. The long journeys and
unsatisfactory transportation facilities,
must be taken into consideration also.
