SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 5. The Jockey Club is doing its utmost to keep racing clean these days, but judging by what has been going on ever since the,last week of the Bm- pire meeting, It needs a brand new method of procedure, ‘The suspension of jockeys evidently isn't evourh.

The promoter of the Jeffries-John- son and Dempsey-Willard bouts came out of his customary shell of silence Jong enough to say that he would as- sure New Yorkers the best bouts at the Garden that money could procure, He also explained at length the basia upon which his club, the "clearing house of professional athletes,” will be run. He sald: “In order to satisfy myself that box- ing and wrestling bouts which I In- tend to stage at Madison Square Gar- @en will be conducted on the very highest plane, I have undertaken for- Mation of tho Madison Square Gar- don Sporting Club, which I hope will grow into the most pretentious sport- ing club in the world. A number of prominent men who are interested al- ready have been invited to become Members. I will be President of the club, “Plans I now am following out call for incorporation of the organization with a membership of 1,500. I am mot sure that this will take in all those who desire to join, so may raise this number to 2,000 later. ere are several reasons for fo madticn of the club, first of which is ‘Mo insure that spectators at bouts will ‘Be men of high character, who cannvt besmirch the game by their actions, I} have always endeavored to conduct bouts ere free from any scan- dai, and want to be sure that thie venture will be the same. “The Garden jin Garden bouts can train for their ‘be given a bond representing one share of 6 Lond ent, preferred stock of the club, For this he will pay $100 and will receive big annual dividend of 6 per cent, and tn addition will be given his pro-rated share of 60 per cent. of the Garden's net profits, Memberships will be renewable each year on pay- ment of $10. I hope that eventually the club will own the property out- right. I want to make the Garden the permanent home of the world’s great~ est sporting club. “Phe memberships also carry with them the privilege of first cad} on the Garden's seats at cach wrestling or boxing match. Hach member will be allowed to buy from seats that will be reserved until a stipulated date before each contest. “I am also considering plans for the formation of a club for profes- sional athletes. I realise that prac- cally all athletic clubs are con- ducted solely for the amateur, I want to mako Madison Square Garden a home for profeasionals. I probably will install a running track, gymna- sium apparatus of every kind, shower baths, and probably set aside a apace where boxers planning to participate fights, From time to time 1 hope to arrange for competitions among these professional athletes. The entire scale of athletic endeavor will be taken up by thepe events, “This professional club I hope to Imit to the highest class of athletes. Any member not living up to the highest standards will forfelt his membership.” ——— TRAINING GALLOPS.
