Betting was lively, the crowd giving the twenty-three books In ilne all the busin they could handje. The racing was of the best. The Meddler handicap, the fourth race, at one mile, the feature of an excellent card, brought to- gether nine of the best handicap horses at the track. The event went to Mr. T. H. ‘Wheatcraft's Green Seal after a drive Glorlo castly beat Edwin T. Frye for the place. The time for the mile was 1:37%, within one-fifth of a second of the world's record. Jockey J.

Abe and his manager, Al Lippe, decided upon this step when they learned that Driscoll had no intention of returning to this coun- try until late next fall. Lippe, In behalf of Attell, will insist on twenty-five rounds at least, and, of course, the world's featherweight champlonship title would be at stake. The battle wquld attract world-wide attention, and it Is doubtful if a stronger drawing card could be put up—certainly not in the light class. Attell will go prepared to make a side bet of 310,00, half of which will be furnished by George Considine. It Is problematical it Driscoll will meet Attell again—at least in the near future. A defeat in a world's championship battle would put a crimp In Driscoll's money-gathering power, and Jem is noted for his thrift. He may figurc | on another campaign in this country, plek- ing up a few thousand dollars before tack- ling the Amerfcan champlon again In a twenty-five-round bout Attell would doubtless go to the post a top-heavy fa- vorlte, and a ton of coln would be wagered on the little American. Driscoll would not he without backing, both here and In Eng- land. and a king's fortune would be placed upon him to win NO PUTTS TO BE CONCEDED One Impogtant Change in St drews Golf Rules. “No putts shall be conceded. This is the one marked and important change In St. Andrews’ rules of golf. which have been adopted for this year by the Western Golf association. The practics of conceding putts from two to four feet has grown to such an extent that a player who asks his opponent to hole out his ball if it be two or three feet from the hole, is looked upon as a disagreeable person to play with. The lawmakers have changed the word may to shall and should to must in several instances. —_—— Mr. F. G.
