—— bs Racing Back in New York, With Fall Season Extended Thirty-Six Days. Coorriges. 10° $A arecinn Worlds ACING comes back to New York to-day after a month at Bara- toga. The meeting which be- 3 et Belmont Park this afternoon "$a the first of a serios of four, extend- 4 ing the season longer than it has ever een since the bookmaking days of t *e 0 and before. . Bg Last year a joint meeting held at Aaveduct under the auspices of the © setueduct, Jamaica and Yonkers As-! Bodlations wound up the sport for the | season. This year James Sheviin, President of the Aqueduct Associa- tion, objected to splitting up the Profits with the other associations, nd decided that Aqueduct would go ft alone or not at all. He applied for fail dates on his own hook. Yonkers had made application for fall dates ‘and eo had Jamaica. For a while the Jockey Club was in a quandary as to how to satisfy the desires of all three associations, Finally it was decided to add thirty-six days to the season and split them up betweon the three tracks, The romult was that Aque- duct got the most desirable dates, the twelve days following the present Belmont meeting; Jamaica was al- Jetted the next twelve and Yonkers had to be content with the final | $4 twelve of the season, ‘The return to Belmont is likely to be marked by some more of the form reversals which have marred the + —s Sport at the Spa, The old and not sitogether popular reverse way of ‘unning may prove responsible for | these. Anyhow hundreds of rac ; goers who either didn't have the] __, time or money to go to Saratoga will 2 |‘ weloome the horses back, apd those who went to the Spa and came back financially bunged up regard the Bes meeting as a fresh opportunity to - __ datten up the old B.

Jack Dempsey was hit on the chin once by Jim Flynn and knocked out. And that has not happened to the Battler yet. that the Turn may have @poiled the chance for the talked-of bout between Levinsky and Dempsoy.
