Hurried Decision The announced retirement of Senator Patrick McCarren from en active par- ticipant in turf affairs has caused any mount of gossip and speculation as to the reasons thereof. Senator McCarren would not comment on his action at all, except to say that he would still retain his interests in the Metropolitan Jockey Club. It is said that the Senator is quite @ heavy loser in his betting operations this season. Last year he was very lucky and his winnings mounted away up in the thousands. This season Fortune has steadily averted her face, and the crowning blow came when Ocean Tide apparently won the Great Filly Stakes and the judges hung up Beldame's number. ‘This and Ocean Tide's recent defeat fn a race where she looked almost @ gure thing have no doubt soured the Senator on the racing end of the game. “We Stay in Jockey Clu! Perhaps some of the people connected with the Jockey Club would have been @lad to see Senator McCarren close out his holdings in the Metropolitan Jockey Club also, Trouble is feared in that quarter next season when the date question is taken up for consideration. ‘The dates secured by the Jamaica Club this season were not as good as they might have been. In ¢act the Jamaica Club really received all the worst of it. ‘This ¢act, combined with the known |, attitude of the chairman of the Jockey method Club toward Jamaica and the almost ‘| viclous attacks made on Jamaica by the | newspaper owned by a very prominent /| Dv turfman, made a most im- |) pression on those who knew a bit of the {jineide history in connection with the {The Metropolitan Club was mot wanted ‘WPCARREN, HEAIY LOSER HAS RETIRED FROM TURE Rumor Has It that Fortune Has Not Smiled on Senator's Track Specula- tions at Any Time This Season, and that Defeat of Ocean Tide Caused at all, In fact an attempt made at Albany to. keep the clitb out, id it took the combined influences of Senators Mc- Carren and Timothy D.
