It was agreed that fifty cents per per

startling total of $12,500,000 in gate

form impressive testimonials to Amer
ica s place in t'he world of siport but
as one man remarked as he viewed t/he

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.
