Old Admission Fee at Racing Associations Decide on $3 Rate Sport to Stand on Its Merits This Year. The various racing associations which will conduct running meetings under the control and sanction of the Jockey Club this year have decided that the admission fee for men shall be and for Jl 50. I.nst season after the passage of the Agnew-Hart Jaw against bookmaking. when the attendance fell off.
thanks largely to the activity of the authorities in enforcing the statute as interpreted by the various district attorneys, the admission fee was reduced to $2 and the field stands were closed. The return to the original fee was considered advisable because of the effort being made to build up the sport once more on a solid foundation. The question or opening the Held Stands rot been definitely settled. August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club, Was at his office yesterday and confirmed the statement he made In Baltimore on Saturday concerning the protection of racegoers from annoyances at the track. He said: "According to the Interpretation of the courts, the Agnew-llart law is directed against bookmaking and not against betting.
The onus now rests upon the bookmakers, and men are free to bet among themselves at the track or anywhere else without violating the statute. 1: Is the purpose of the various associations to live up to the strict letter of the law. but it their purpose also to see that their patrons are not persecuted or molested, as the case last season, when there appeared to be some uncertainty as to the real meaning and Intent of the law In talking of the rpening of the racing season In the, metropolitan district on Thursday man closely Identified with the sport said yesterday: time has come for real test as to whether racing can live in this state or not without organised bookmaking. It must stand on Its own merits or it won't stand at all. The meetings will be run off this year irrespective of attendance, but high hopes are entertained that lovers of the fport will come back now that the dread of censorship and annoyances, if not persecution, is groundless.

Raymond Pitches Strong Game, and Timely Hitting Helps. rrir Telegraph to Tribune.

Raymond pitched for New York, and was opposed by White, a newcomer. who.
by way. made, a rood Impression. Raymond was in his best form, and held the team safely except in the third inning, when Becker doubled to right with two and Fates followed with a single. Merkle was at second base for the Giants, presumably as the result of a wireless from McGraw to strengthen the hitting. He played a good game, and a few more similar exhibit! Ml force the fans to remember, as McGraw has always done, that If be hadn't made a pinch hit In thai game with Chicago he wouldn't have had a chance to forget to touch second The Giants started in the lead to-day.
In the first inning Tenney walked, but was forced on McCormicks bunt. Murray was safe on Dahlen'S error, but after O'Hara struck out Devlin smashed one at Sweeney that was too hot to handle, and the -bases were full. Brldwell then came to the rescue with a single to left, scoring McCormlck. but good throw by Bates caught Murray at the plate. Boston tied the score in the third inning.
as told, and the Giants won the game In the fifth. Dahlen juggled Raymond's drive, but the pitcher was out at third when he tried to reach that bag on Bowerman's wild throw of Tenney's bunt. McCormick. however, came along with a well tuned double to centre, scoring Tenney with what proved to be the winning run. Starr got to third with only one out in Boston half of the eighth Inning on his single, a wild pitch and an out.
Bates clipped tha ball to Brldwell. and on some pmart fielding Starr was run dow between third and home. Eridwell. Schlei and Devlin showing some heady work. Beaumont then filed out to O'Hara.
Again in the ninth Inning the home team had a chance to pull out a victory, as Beck led off with a single and Dahlen walked. Sweeney and Ritchie, batting for Bowerman. hit the ball hard, but Murray pulled both drives down, while Stem, batting for White, fell a victim to the curves of Raymond and struck out.

"All free passes have been done away with this year, with the exception of those to working newpaper men. This was not done to save the money or Indirectly earn it in another way, but to place the sport on its own foundation at a time when every effort is being- made to establish it at l's real as a healthful and Invigorating amusem*nt and a necessity for the proper development of the horse, which means far more to this country than is generally credited. "A new era for the sport Is beginning; or at least that Is the hope of the breeders, who are working against great odds to save an industry that runs Into millions in thin country. Without the support that other governments give, and the present condition of racing, the outlook is none too bright; but there is a chance, and breeders are gladly accepting it. This country could command the market of world on cavalry remounts, with proper protection and encouragement.
The thoroughbred Is essential, and the thoroughbred cannot be developed without racing and Cor reasonably rich stakes in order to pay. and for that reason the breeders are watching with great interest the effort to restore the spirit of racing to the place it occupied a ear ago." The weights for the Metropolitan Handicap, as announced on Sunday, was the chief topic among followers of the sport yesterday. The opinion appeared to be general that the official handicapper had provided a puzzle hard to solve for the big race to be decided on Thursday. Among the horses talked of as likely to be prominent were Jack Atkln, the top weight, at 129 pounds, and winner last year; Kins- James, winner of Burns Handicap in California last winter; Trance, which gets in with 102 pounds; Don Creole, which is sure to be dangerous, if the. track is heavy, with only pounds up.

Travers, the amateur go'f champion of the United States, now practicing abroad for the championship of Great Britain over the Murfleld course, the week of May 24.
lias written his flrst Impressions of the links and players in a long article published by "Golf Illustrated." After a few Introductory remarks. Travers goes Into ecstasies over conditions abroad. In his opinion. Prestwlck Is the finest course he has ever pcrr, as may be gathered from the following remarks "I have little hesitation in pronouncing Prestwlck to be the finest course I have ever encountered In my experience. If better exists anywhere I should like to make its acquaintance.
I am aware there are many fine courses in other parts, and that have, much yet to see. These courses have each their particular schools of advocates (and adversaries, too, for that part). Perhaps alone unchallenged about any course Is a particularly good hole or two. Nevertheless, I can scarcely anything which could provide a superior test of golf. "It brings into play an immense variety of shots: mingles the flats with the heights in nice ratio, and when there happens to be a bit of wind about, I should say the golfer will be put to a most searching tost perhaps better even than that, this course will discover the weaklings and elevate the, greatest player to his proper altitude in the results.
"It has been my good fortune to meet with many of the leading players in the west of Scotland. I have played with J. L. C. Jenkins, Troun A.
R. Aitken. Prestwlck, and Gordon Lockhart, St. Nicholas, all of them fine players. I was particularly Impressed with Mr.
Laokhart's hard hitting off the tee; he does put steam into them." According to a. foreign critic Travers was impressed also with the playing of Robert Andrew. When he played with the Prestwkjk crack he found him at his best. Andrew was going great guns, driving a loner, low ball and playing his irons with the utmost effect, while, contrary to his usual notions concerning his putting, he. holed everything on the green.
Excepting one short put, which was not attempted, Andrew holed the Inward half In phenomenal score of ID, two strokes better than the best on record. The critic goes on to say: Thai putting Is one of Mr. Travis' 9 trump cards is evident the more one follows him. James Robh and who watched Mr. Travers at Sandwich have declared that his putting hears kinship what was displayed try that phenomenal wilder of the years ago.
Whatever he may do in a championship, it has been noticeable in all the friendly be has had In the west of Scotland thai he is not only a great but a most careful, putter is never seen to set down and study the fire of his puts, and certainly he has never once been Feen to survey it from the hole, Iff may, of course, pursue different methods when something Important Is at While he takes in the situation quickly, he is never in a hurry to send the ball away. He takes up his stnnce smartly, waits for a moment or two. has a long, last look along the line of transit, and then dispatches the ball firmly end sweetly. His stance Is The ball is well plar-ed about midway both legs, and the head Is poised well over It.
