While there ha been growing friction
between certain element and the book
maker for some time, which recently
am to a head when an onenln weJr
waa driven by breaking the monooolv
th mookmaklng fraternity held tn the
big ring" at the eastern track by th
Metropolitan Turf Association, reason
for th latest move ar said to be two-
fold. On la atated to be that the own
era of th race track of New Torn
tat hav mnJ4 up their mind to
clear themselve of any alliance with
bookmaker, to th end that .they may
noi o attacked by any cruaad agalnat
racing or In any aults Instituted by
any Influence opposed to betting at th
track.
whether th condition ha been
hastened by th fear of a determined
fight by pool room Interest cannot be
learned. The second reason assigned
1 that the racing association has de
clared themselves against further at
tempt to dictate by outsiJ organlia
tlon In the conduct of affair about
th track.
Just whit will b the outcome 1 a
little uncertain. One thins I. certnln
that the racing association had volun
tarily put oft dealings with th organi
xaed bookmaker,' have" cast aside a
revenue for racing day In season
amoun'.lng to nearly $1,200,000. Var
ious schemes rare , being? ' broached 'to
mak up for th lost revenue, but It' Is
generally expected that th admission
fee will either be raised to IS for men
and $1.50 for women of that race goer
will hav to pay for th privilege of
betting by purchasing at extra cost ft
ticket to the betting ring.
By refiutng to accent as heretofore.
the jockey club will be freed from legal
entanglement which ar said to hav
been carefully prepared by an old-time
pool room proprietor ho had planned
to begin proceeding against tha rac
ing officials the opening day at the
Oravesend track, May J6. The courts
have held that It la not a violation of

allowed to operate under thl ruling.

Chicago, May 20. Oplnfona vary aa
to th number of atrlker who will be
reinstated now that the teamstcra1
strike practically I ended, but th gen
eral belief I that IS per cent Is ft con
servative figure. This estimate comes
largely from union sources.
The employers maintaining that the
Employers' Teaming Col pan y was a

centage of striker who would get thetr
old place back at even ft lower figure.
Th Employer' Teaming Company
will employ no union men at all.
The total number of men on strike,
Including 500 helpers, at the end, is
2772. From th moat trustworthy
estimates 1300 of these will get their
