It was with this thought that the National As- sociation of Commisioners passed the resolution that the operators should meet and consider the ad- gether for the geod of racing as acsport nationa! in scope. RACING RIDES HIGH “Racing today is riding the crest of popularity,” Mr. Donovan says. ‘At no time in its long history has it enjoyed such consideration at the hands of the public. This con- sideration not only places upon the operators a greater responsibility, but gives a chance to develop this opportunity to so firmly establish this asso- | vantages and need for getting to-, 'less emphasis on the policing angle, and greater emphasis on the op- erators’ interest and concern for the proper presentation of the sport. They must command the belief among the general public that they, the operators, are voluntarily striv- | ing to better the conditions of their | own business. “Track operators should realize! jthat the protection and life of their ' investment depends upon intelli-‘ gent, coordinated approach of their | common problems; and that an in- | dividualistic attitude, without due | regard for their fellow associates, the public, the owners and’ the horses, will mean destruction, “The whole thought simply in- volves the application of accepted business practice that has pre- |vailed for years in the industries and professions. The operators must not concede to any group a | greater interest in the proper regu- !lation of their business than they themselves evidence.” STEELE MEETS YOUNG STUHLEY | INTOROUNDER| { Mg | IMiddleweight Champion Is 2 to | Favorite in | Fight Tonight | LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 8— Middleweight champion Freddie Steele is a 2 to 1 favorite to defeat Young Stuhley, Illinois challenger, in a 10 round non-title bout to- night.

Fraker, for 40 years a resident of .Alaska, died last week in Fairbanks following an illness of about two weeks. Few men now living antedated &im in point of residence in the North. Leaving Port Townsend, Washington, in 1894 he traveled di- rectly to what was later to become the Dawson camp and prospected on Quartz Creek until 1896. Then he went down the river to Circle City and remained in the Circle district for several years. In partnership with Otto Nelson and Boyer H. Linn he became one of the principal operators on fa- mous Mastodon Creek. The f{riendship which grew out of Mr. Fraker’s partnership with Mr. Nelson was a strong bond be- tween them. It was related that they have been together for 36 years and a quarrel has never mar- red their relations. Mr. Nelson was with his partner all during the last sickness and their old” comrade, Boyer Linn was informed of Mr. Fraker’s death by radio.

It is not enough that racing concern itself only with those who patronize it. There must be a process of broader appeal to the average citizen. This better understanding is necessary because the privilege of racing is granted by general legislation and not by its patrons alone. - “INDIVIDUALISM OUT” “The operators should concern themselves with the future welfare of their business.
