In a statement given out by H. D. Bowen, general manager of the Monerief Park track at Jacksonville, to the newspaper men at Pimlico a day or so ago, the news that the dis tances and weights would remain a dark secret until the afternoon of the race was sprung for the first time. Naturally it caused a sensation. Mr. Bowen contends that the poolrooms are responsible for the disrepute of racing, and that to suppress the overnights will cripple the poolrooms and handbook men and practi Perhaps, but how about the racegoers themselve: AS & general rule men attend race meetings because they fancy their own ability to figure the horses. The dope book is the bible of plungers and pikers alike, and the ink dry entries before the talent Is busily engaged with riders, weights, dis tances, and past performances. The fans pore over the statistics at dinner, mark each other's cards in the hotel lobby, and burn the mid- night incandescent in studious consideration of conditions possible and impossible. By next day they have Billiken backed off the map when it comes to “framing up things as they ought to be.” Now, take away the overnights and see what would happen. Why, it's a joke to think of those poor lost sheep of the track without the info. “1 got it straight from the fellow that hauled hay to the stable that Hunk O'Cheese will carry 126 In that third r and 7 yards,” whispers Player to Layer. “Huh, if that’s all you know about tomorrow's card you better stay in bed,” is the scornful rejoinder. “I got it straight from the kid that cleans the secretary's office, who steals the typewriter carbon sheets for me, that Hunk O’Cheese goes in at 96. race tomorrow is four and a half furlongs.” And so on, ad lib. Oh, yes, suppressing preaches well, but in practice it's a big jest. 00° With 10 days more racing at Ogden, and Latonia going until the 25th, there will be enough of the bangtail game to keep the country interested until the winter season proper opens in California and Florida. Seattle will send quite a delegation to Onkland this year, where the local men will have a chance to try the Inner working of the oral betting system. There's a lot of racing interest in Seattle, and ia not on overnight ¢ at a mile weights and distances when the players can't get their favorite sport at home, they are willing | to go far afield. i " , coo » The barnstorming major leaguers are meeting with a warmer re« ception fw California‘than they received in the Northwest, and, ac- cording to reports, big crowds turned out to see the Athletics play in Los Angeles and the Natidbal All-Stars perform in San Francisco. The feason for this is not far to seek. In California the big leaguers are Playing against well known local teams. In their recent appearance here they were playing against each other. ‘Nuff said. ooo The San Francisco matchmakers got an awful jolt when they fealized that in framing the articles of the Jeffries-Johnson—pardon me, Mistah Johnsing, I meant the Johnson-Jeffric Francisco clubs were put out of running by the clause that called for #% rounds or more, Latest reports from the Golden Gate, however, indicate that the cloud of gloom is lifting, P. H. McCarthy and that “Paris of America” thing of his have made a lot of dead ones sit up and take notice.
