Noe. Go ¥ ere Tae Financial Succese of Horse Racing Isn’t Relished by Those Behind Baseball. Copyright 1098, by The Prone Pubishing Co, (The New York Prening World.) T is hard to believe but probably true neverless that powerful in- fluence is being used to destroy the public's confidence in horse rac- fag in the interests of baseba Newspaper stories are being printed regularly these days wherein only the shady side of horse racing ts given prominence, The whole tone Gf these articles tends to create a doubt in one's mind as to the honesty of the sport. The entire fabric upon which racing ts built is assailed, own- ers are, by inuendo, crooked, Jockeys det against their own horses and trainers are in collusion to fleece the public. According to these articles, racing {s in the throes of despair and nothing can keep it alive unless the Jockey Club comes to the rescue and weeds out “operators,” betting Jockeys and cheating trainers. As a matter of fact, racing in all Mts history never was 60 honestly conducted as it has been this year, Bvidence of this is scen every day when trainers, pals of the early “morning work hours, are betting against one another in the afternoon. And there hasn't been a single escan- dal at the track that could be run down to any degree of double dealing or dishonesty. Back in the old bookmaking days there was @ concétted movement in which the baseball interests were concerned, which eventually killed the horse sport. In those days rac- ing attracted 60,000 crowds on Sat- urdays and holidays when 10,000 was considered a good attendance at the Polo Grounds, Racing was finally Killed, that 18, bookmaking and the betting ring were cut out. Baseball immediately prospered and for six years or more the owners profited to such an extent that the game deyel- oped into a financial institution and forfeited practically its reputation as & sport. Last season baseball went to the dogs, while racing, slowly but surely, re-established itself. Now the racing associations are making money after six meagre years, and it seems that the powerful baseball interests, Jealous of thelr success, are doing some undermining business to draw the public away from its thrills, have just read a letter, post- marked France from the pep- pery Johnny Evers who is over there for the K. of C. chasing gloom away from our soldiers, Among other things, Johnny has something to say about the future of baseball in this Country. Evidently Johnny has been talking to SOMEBODY on the sub- fect. He intimates that there will bea genera! housecleaning in the Amert- ean League before the next sea- Bon gtarts, and that when it is all over, Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox and Clarke Grimths of the Wash- ingtons will be all that (s left of the old guard. The day of the dictator in baseball 1s past, according to the between-line stuff in Johnny's letter. Let's hope its true. VERYBODY laughs at wrestling and takes its contests with a grain of galt, but its a money- making game just the same, We Jearn that Frank Gotch who died a *hort time ago, left a will providing for the distribution of something like $750,000.
