heat races fifty yards instead of eighty, as at present. this applying only when the number of starters is less than eight. When more than that number start the distance is to be 100 yards. no change being recommended. Proposed Amendment Is Good.

That the proposed amendment is a good one and should have been made long ago no man who is familiar with racing can doubt. First and foremost the adoption of the new rule will do more to check the pernicious practice of laying up heats. now so common. than could any amount of independent action by the judges of the race. With the eighty yard distance rule that is now in force It is possible for a driver who wants to go an easy heat with his horse to do so in the face of the most skillful scrutiny by the judges and still rot be fairly amenable to punishment Shortening tke distance 40 per cent means a lot to any horse.

and when it is a question of being within fifty yards of the wire when the lead horse passes the judges. instead of being allowed a further latitude of thirty yards. the whole conditions of the race will be found changed for the class of trotters and pacers that, naturally unable to get away from the wire at top speed and quickly. are carefully rated by their drivers for a heat or two with the sole idea of beating the flag In those heats in order that they may be able to do themselves justice in the succeeding miles. the num- sent this applying onl when of eighty, as fifty yards instead than an that number ed.

The following game was played in Mr. Pillsburs recent simultaneous performance at the Chicago Chess and Checker club: win Help Racing. In a rough way it may be said that with a fifty yard distance there is lit tle or no inducement to lay up a horse, and of course this will conduce to better racing and eliminate much of the cheating on heats that was so conspicuous a feature of certain meetings last year.

It is a well known fact to race followers that certain drivers, while they could not be induced to pull a horse for the entire race. are still susceptible to influence when the scheme involves simply -laying up' a heat. And it is not always the bookmaker that in such instances is the loser. After a horse has won a heat or two the public naturally plunges on the animal for the succeeding mile. and if the man who lays the odds can be certain that no effort to win will be made it is possible tor him to make a good many hundreds of dollars without taking one penny risk, even when he splits the sheet with the crooked driver, as is generally done.

although some of them can be had for a job of that sort on a cheaper basis. Will Divide with Bookmaker. These same men will tell how they never pulled a race. and, indeed. the records of each seivson show that they drive their horses to win the purses in which they are engaged, but if a man with a good stable of horses can drop a heat now and then and split the sheet with the bookmaker it is not difficult to add or of sure money to the season's earnings.

and this nice profit is of course never accounted for to the owners of the animals with which the disreputable work is done. There has been a lot Of such work in the last two seasons down the grand circuit. and in several instances the cheating was so clumsily done that even the bootblacks under the grandstand knew what was coming off. Another way of cheating in which some drivers indulge is to start in a race with a horse that has speed enough to win and lay the animal up for a heat or two until the odds against the rag are as long as they are likely to be. Then the trotter Is cut loose," and perhaps wins the heat in the fastest time of the race.

doing the trick with ease. whereas in the preceding miles he was well to the rear in much slower time. In such cases the men who engineer the cheating of course make their money from the bookmaker, but he is in a measure protected by the fact that the public. for the heat won by the horse that has previously been a sleeper." naturally backs the winner of the previous heat. and their money goes to the bookmaker.

who pays out part of it to the jobbers who have played the winner. Will Checkmate Cheaters.

Work on the track and buildings of the Kansas City Jockey club is rapidly approaching completion. The bed of the track received its finishing touches today. The ground which was selected as a site for the erection of the racing plant is uneven and picturesque. The process of leveling has enhanced rather than marred the beauties of the inclosure. Oa the backstretch.

beginning at the three-quarter pole and running nearly to the three-eighths pole, there is a till twenty feet high. while almost the entire homestretch was a quarry of rock, eight feet of which has been removed, thus reducing the last quarter to a depth of three feet lower than the remainder of the tract. This solid bed of rock, which resulted from blasting. has been covered with three feet of soil. so that the track is now as nearly a level mile of ground as can be made, and with a little use should.

owing to the spongy condition of the limestone earth, become one of the fastest in the country. Eighty-five feet is the width of the stretch the turns and backstretch being fifteen feet narrower. The entire inclosure consists of 187 acres, a great portion of the surplus ground being used by the golf players in their eighteen hole course. and another attractive feature will be the western end of the ground. which has been set apart for the "no field of the Missouri Hunt and Polo club.

In the center field there will be built a steeplechase course. which will be the despair of those associations whose racing eta blishments have been built on at territory. Viewed from any angle. the track presents a most pleasing appearance. The grand stand is small.

Its seating capacity is only 4.00u and the managers wilt surely see the day (luring the current year that they will regret not having doubled its size. Favorable feeling to the enterprise as projected by the present management is manifest, and with no miscarriage of the announced determination to have only a high order of sport there will often be sitting space for only a part of the attendance. However. there is a large lawn. The grand stand.

aside from its size, will rank in quality, and beauty with any single decker in the west. It is complete in every respect. fitted with conveniences, and there are thirty-five private boxes. The stand is 280 feet in length, with commodious aisles. and there are three large exits leading to the betting ring.

The paddock, which is 130x48 feet, consists of fourteen stalls. Beyond the paddock on the west is the clubhouse of the Elm Ridge club, an attractive structure of colonial style. the outside being natural stone finish. The grounds of the clubhouse are separated from the main premises by a four foot fence. The membership of the Elm Ridge club is 300.

to whom, with the members of the Missouri Hunt and Polo club and the Kansas City Golf club, the new racing association i will look for social prestige. Four hundred stalls have been completed. They are large and roomy, each barn being able to accommodate thirty-five horses. There will be built enough new stables to run the total number of stalls to SOO. The entire plant is protected from fire with hydrants.

Only thirty-five minutes will be required to reach the track from the heart of the city, the Metropolitan Street railway system having agreed to make the runs in that time. The Kansas City Jockey club represents an outlay of over a quarter million dollars. Previous racing ventures in Kansas City have gone to the bad for the reason that they were incompetently conducted.

It is the easiest thing In the world for a horse to be, apparently, cut off at the first turn and then by force of circumstances compelled to dawdle along in the rear. as so much ground has been lost that to try and make it up and then win the heat would be an impossibility. All that the Judges can see Is that the animal was seemingly outtrotte-d in the first eighth or quarter. and that in such a big field it was only the part of common sense to go easy with him for the balance of the mile. But in the succeeding heat that horse is a transformed trotter.

He stores right in with the others, gets away In his place when the word is given. is not outstelpped around the first turn. and wins the beat in a commanding style.
