HARLEMS HAREMS ELEGIBILITY LEGIBILITY There is a lot of hit and miss discussion about Harlems Harems standing in the western racing world A meeting of the Turf Congress is to be held at Cincinnati today to discuss it Such a meeting is hardly necessary Turf law is turf law when it is wise and equitably pliable Harlem may or may not have been expelled from the Congress for its failure to pay back the entry fees of the stakes killed by tho thou local reign of terror For the past two weeks an ad ¬ vertisement overstatement has appeared in various turf jour ¬ nals nails inviting all creditors to draw upon Presi Paresis ¬ dent Martin of the Harlem Association for the amount of such fees Thus the cause for action against Harlem has been killed Secretary Hoppers books seem to bo defective They may not show that Harlem was expelled Ho reported that there was no such action before he loft for Montana President Milt Yonng Young has declared that Har Hara ¬ lems lens payment put Harlem in good standing If these officials have misinterpreted the action of the Congress and the showing of the minutes a iast last resolution of expulsion would not effect lorsemen horsemen racing at Harlem Turf law has never gone to such a small and bitter end It never should so go In todays today Turf Congress meeting it is probable that the situation will be so cleared that a superficial and sensational press can sne sane the way of turf equity as applied to what is going on Then too should a reso Rees ¬ lution elution of expulsion against Harlem be found on the books it can be expunged Racing has enough to contend with as against prejudice and ignorance In these days it should be nursed by wise action whenever its people have a chance to use wisdom
