Turf War Due in Florida.

DRESIDENT JOSEPH L. SMOOT
of the Hollywood Jockey Club
has announced that the new Florida
track, which is IL miles outside OF
Miami and will cost 81 800, 900, will be
ready for racing January ! and that
the dates previously allotted to Hia-
leah will be used. He made no state
nent about what Hialeah would do
Dates for racing are allotted by the
State Racing Commission. Also a
license has to be obtained before a
track can be built. Col. r. r. Saun-
ders, former member of the Florida
State Racing Commission, is inter
ested financially in the new track and
is one Of the sponsors. The colonel
knows the ropes. 1t is inconceivable
that such an expenditure would be
made unless it was known that dates
would be allotted.
If the new Hollywood track runs
in opposition to the beautiful Hialeah
plant, there is only one answer-a
survival of the flttest. President JOS
eph E. Widener, on account of his
connections in the East and Belmont
Park, probably will obtain the best
stables for Hialeah. If history is re-
peated badges may be had for the
asking. If one track distributes freely,
the other must follow suit. President
Smoot also has announced a 500, 900
added handicap as a feature of his
inaugural meeting. This doubles In
amount any stake offering by Hia-
leah.

horse ahead because of the angularity
of the view, and the camera Is cred
tied with having favored the outside
horse. On the other hand, If the in
side horse Is only slightly ahead, the
spectators place him farther ahead
and the camera loses credit for giving
a close decision to the horse next to
the rail. Consequently, the belief has
developed that the camera favors the
outside horse
To prove his contention the doctor
produced photograph showing the
rump Of the rail horse at the finish
Of a race, apparently yard in ad-
vance Of that of the outside horse
To the spectators near the wire there
would seem no argument as to the
winner, but the camera caught the
rail horse raising its head as the wire
was reached, while the outside horse
dropped It's nose, thus winning by the
proverbial mod"

New Orleans Case Cited.
REFORE Hialeah was thought Of
there was race track war in
New Orleans. At the time the Cres-
cent City was the mecca for Winter
racing and the Fair Grounds plant
was prospering.
The Corrigan interests invaded the
field and built the City Park Track.
1t was well laid out. nicely located
and more modern than the old Fair
Grounds plant. Free badges were to
be had at all the hotels. But New
Orleans could not support two tracks
Both lost money. The City Park
Track was first TO quit. 1t later was
purchased by the Fair Grounds and
now is part of New Orleans park

that Uncle Sam officially has passed
upon its integrity there seems moth
ing to do but end the argument and
post the official sign, but old-timers
still contend that the judges in days
gone by always gave the rail horse
the dicision when there was only a

camera gives it to the outside horse
even though the "insider" may have a

Judges Pleased With Camera.

In Any close finish there always is
bobbing of the horses heads,
espscislly when the jockeys decide

There is danger in placing the
horses from a photograph when the

are not easily discernible, and the

memory. Pleasant things are easily

times seem to have no stickum on
them and after little drop right out
of the memory.
Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck
were gossiping. Yes, sir, that is what
they were doing. Gossiping is bad
habit for any one, but it is especially
bad for the little people of the Green
Meadows whose lives constantly de-
pend on their watchfulness. You see,
it is difficult to gossip and be watch
full at the same time
Johnny Chuck, who when he had
first come out after his long Winter
sleep had still been so fat that he
waddled, was now lean and thin. In
fact, he was, if anything, even thin
ner than Peter Rabbit. He no longer
waddled. he ran. He even ran fast,
surprisingly so for one with such short
legs. You see, there was as yet very
little food on the Green Meadows for
a Chuck to eat and Johnny had to do
a lot of running about to get that
little. Also, there was in him a
strange irresistible urge to go exploring
So it was just as well that he was rid
of that fat and could run instead of
waddle.

Meadow Mouse or some of his rela-
tlves. In the winter Mrs Reddy had
been shot and badly wounded. Now
she had so far recovered that she
could do some hunting. She had not
fully regained her strength and was
not equal to long trips af1eld or to
hard running, so she had to be con-
tent with Mouse hunting, which re-
qulred more patience than strength.
AS she came onto the Green Mead
oWs Mrs. Reddy raised up on her hind
feet for look over the Green Mead
oWs. At once she saw two figures over
toward the dear Old Briar-patch.
They were quite little way out from
the latter.
Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck" !"
said Mrs. Reddy under her breath.
Either one would make me a good
meal. If I can but get between them
and the Old ar-patch I should be
able to catch one of them. Certainly
1 should be able to catch Johnny
Chuck. Chuck is good eating. 1t would
be change from Mice. I'm getting
just a bit tired of Mice"
Mrs. Reddy had remained raised up
on her hind legs only long enough for
good look. Then she had dropped
down to all fours and, crouching as
low as possible, she was now moving
swiftly to get the dear Old Briar-
patch between her and Peter and
Johnny, so that they would not dis
cover her.
once around back of the dear Old
Brlar-patch, she no longer had to
crouch. She trotted swiftly toward
1t. When she reached it she turned
toward one end. AS she approached
THIS she moved with the greatest
care. Peeping around the end, she
saw that her hopes were realized, for
Peter and Johnny We're still there
gosSlping, and little farther from
the Old Briar-patch than they had
peen When she had discovered them.
Not once did either look around. It
was clear that they had forgotten for
the time being that often danger is
nearest when there seems to be no
danger.
Mrs. Reddy's eyes cleaned. She
grinned and in doing 80 showed all
her teeth. Then she prepared to
move quickly to get between the dear
Old Briar-patch and that forgetful
pair.
