In some eases the figures are ofti j cial or semi official, while in others they | are the result of careful tabulation's j (fathered from club secretaries, news j paper reports and estimates made by , t'hose qualified to guage the size and j num'ber of large crowds.

Another 100,000 was fixed upon as the prowaiblp attend ance at all other sectional. State and itv tennis title tournaments. (iolf galleries, 'being without admission fea ture, were not separately considered. Automobile, motorcycle and bicycle races were allotted 500,0-00, and track and field sports a similar attendance.

In j Xew York State alone the gate receipts j as reported to the commission was in I round figures $U40,000 and tlie attend j ance 400.000. •\'o attempt was made to estimate the ' attendance at golf and trap shooting j tournaments, where admission fees are either nominal or entirely dispensed 'with.

It was agreed that fifty cents per per son would be a most reasonable admis sion estimate but even this gave the startling total of $12,500,000 in gate receipts in the past twelve months. They form impressive testimonials to Amer ica s place in t'he world of siport but as one man remarked as he viewed t/he tabulation and estimates for the twen tieth time "1 am inclined to think that we could add another thirty per cent, to the total and still be inside the limit.''

MORE RACINCFOR NEW YORK Managers Believe Public Will Support the Sport Without the Public Botting Ring New \ork, Jan. 4. —With assurances that racing without a public betting ring will be supported, the stewards of the Jockey Club are now preparing a list of meetings for the year. The bet ting feature of racing no longer domi nates the sport, and the stewards in -1•. t ? p'imiuate many other evils winch have served to mar- the good name of racing. During the last two years the race track plungers and bitr i J ra ' ori were more or less suppressed This year they will be wiped out and their baneful influence made impotent. The I iukerton Detective Agencv will 1 have complete supervision as regards policing the courses, and an extra force of ineii will be employed to prevent any : possible chance of night riders operat-1 ing. The season will begin earlier and j last longer than last year. In all prob-1 ability the season will open 011 Mav 15. j I-#ast year the opening day was on' May I 26. It is proposed to have fall meet-! nigs at the local tracks throughout the month o.f Spptem'ber and possi'blv the 1 first week in October. Last year there I was two weeks of racing in the full at | Belmont Park after Saratoga had 1 closed. The racing dates will Lie so arranged 1 that Saratoga will have its usual month ) of racing, with five Saturdays. By be-1 ginning the racing season earlier this year than last there will be morf racing dates and less crowding of racing meet ings than was the case in 1914. Bel mont Park will have at least 18 days of racing, with at least 12 or 15 days each for Jamaica (Belmont Park) and Aqueduct. Empire City probably will receive 18 days and wiil hold its meet ing during the latter part of July, pre vious to the opening at Saratoga. There will be no running races at Syracuse this year. The effort to make the sport popular at the State fair track last year was not a success.
