Minority Stockholders of West-
ern Association Call the Di-
rectors to Account.
SARATOGA IS PROSPEROUS
Management Takes Advantage
of Ba d Season Elsewhere.
Prepare for a Big Season.
Special Dispatch.
(By Bert E. Collyer.)
Chicago. Nov. 5. — The minority
stockholders of the Westchester Rac-
ing association are soon to call to ac-
count their directors for having fail-
ed to conduct the affairs of their
property to the best advantage by
not making use of the dates assigned
to them by the Jockey club this fall
for racing. These dates were for
twelve days' racing from September
26 to October 8. The outcome of this
suit will be awaited eagerly by those
interested in the welfare of the turf
since a question will be raised as to
the constitutionality of the Agnew-
Perkins law.
The directors of the Westchester
Racing association will make answer
by stating that under the clause of
the Agnew-Perkins law which holds
directors responsible for any illegal
act committed on the premises under
their jurisdiction they were unable to
conduct a race meeting without run-
ning the risk of a jail sentence since
despite any or all precautions which
they might take there would in all
likelihood he. found persons who
would bet regardless of the law.
Is Law Constitutional?
It will then be for the courts to de-
cide: First—Can the directors he held
liable for the acts of others? Second—
Is the section of the Agnew-Perkins
hill which holds that they can be held
liable constitutionally sound doc-
trine? The Jockey club despite pub-
lic opinion to the contrary has not
been inactive. Its lawyers have had
the matter under advisement and
have conceived this way out of the
difficulty. The case being a question
of constitutional rights of propertv
owners which affects the value of
property is entitled to a speedy hear-
ing before the court of appeals to
which it eventually will be referred
an® a decision expected before the
winter is far advanced.
While a feeling of unrest or uncer-
tainty apparently permeates the east-
ern turf with little or no hope being
held out by the solonatic body that
the sport will be-continued in' New
York tracks in 1911. it is interesting
to chronicle that R. T. Wilson Jr.. th°
dominant factor in the Saratoga Rac-
ing association states that there will
be forty days of racing at the Spa—-
iqjne what may.
Saratoga Doos Well.
Saratoga it will be remembered
profited by the chaotic conditions that
existed about New York to such an ex-
tent that not since 190« has the as-
sociatfon been able to show such a
handsome balance on the right side

MARSHALL AND HIGH
MEET ON TUESDAY
Both Elevens Are In Excellent
Condition for the Second
Game of the Series.
Marshall Training school will have
| a chance to retrieve their lost laurels
1 when they tackle the San Antonio
'High school eleven on the gridiron at
(Electric park on Tuesday afternoon in
f the second contest bf the season be-
tween these two teams. The former
team has been through a number of
hard practice sessions during the past
week and now are in excellent condi-
tion for a hard contest.
Coach Steiler has had all of the
regulars of the Marshall squad out for
long daily sessions perfecting a num-
ber of new plaj that he will spring
on his opponents and he has hopes
of catching the High school players
napping. With both of the teams in
tip-top condition the game promises
;to be one of the most spectacular
of the local season. The teams have
‘a diversified attack combined with a
| a defense that is strong at all times
'and it will be generalship that will
’count to a great degree when they
clash.
! With the return of Grice who play-
ed a great game at quarterback on
the 1909 eleven the Marshall Training
team is considerably stronger than
when they met the High eleven in the
first game. Grice was one of the
star players last year and with him
in the line-up on Tuesday the West
End aggregation hopes for a victory.
Grice is fast in ev<-—• department of
the game whb- his generalship was
one of the distinctive features of all
the games played by his team last
year.
The contest is scheduled to start at
4 o'clock and a big crowd is expected
to be on hand. The field will be
policed to keep the crowd behind the
ropes so that the players will not be
crowded as in some of the games play-
ed on that field this season.

ternoon. when he not only won th ee
events but captured the 200-mile race

This contest was the most spec-
tacular ever held on this course and (
it was not until the last lap that

kept the drivers so closely bunched
Dawson was many miles in the
rear of Mulford and Horan both pi-
loting Lozier machines when half of
the contest had been decided but
was never hopelessly out of the race.
During the last 50 miles the race
was the most exciting ever run in
this section of the country. These
two drivers were never .separated by
more than a few hundred feet and
for a number of miles Mulford held
the lead.
For the last ten miles the two
were neck and neck and doing a
number of daring stunts. Coming
into the last lap. Dawson took the
turns with a daring that bordered on
the reckless and it was this exhibi-
tion of nerve that won him the race.
He finished a few seconds In front
of his opponent. Horan tn a Lozier
was second and Gelnay in a Falear
was fourth. The summary:

GOOD CARD OF RACES
FOR THE OPENING DAY
An excellent card of races is down
I for decision in which the fields are
| well balanced. Chief interest will cen-
। ter in the running of the fifth race
which is at seven furlongs and will
| bring together such well known per-
i formers as Sam Taylor. Elder Sen-
sible and Geo. H. White. The last
race is a quarter mile affair and
thoroughbreds are barred only quar-
ter horses being allowed to start. With
indications for fair weather and with
a good program the races should start
under most propitious surroundings.
There are about 100 thoroughbreds
now stabled at the track and good
races should be made every day. Ot
course the absence of some of the
old-time performers will be noticed by
race-goers who in years gone by have
cheered to victory such horses as Or-
bicular First Premium. Meadow
Transform and Marchmonet but the
ones that are here will all have many
admirers who will be on hand this
afternoon to see them perform.
RACING*NOTES.
Secretary W. J. Weber was a very
I busy man yesterday receiving entires
and issuing badges to the horsemen.

BIG ROW SREWIRG
I IR NATIONAL LEAGUE
Fogel - Herrmann Controversy
Is-Sure to Precipitate Trouble
at the Annual Meeting
New York Nov. s.—Another ugly
row in the next meeting of the Nation-
al league when it takes up the election
of a president is believed by local
baseball students to be foreshadowed
in the fight between Philadelphia and
Cincinnati over the proposed ex-
change of players between these
clubs. President Lynch who will un-
doubtedly be up for re-election has
tried his best to keep out of the row
in which Garry Herrmann and Horace
Fogel are involved but that he will be
forced to take sides sooner Or later is
admitted by all.
If Lynch supports Herrmann of
which there are increasing Indica-
tions it will probably mean that he
will be opposed for re-election by
Fogel and Charles W. Murphy presi-
dent of the Chicago Cubs and what-
ever other presidents the are able to
control in the annual meeting. It
was Murphy and Fogel who caused
the deadlock last winter which was
finally ended by the selection of
Lynch.
