PROSPECTIVE OUTLAWS WORRIED. New Orleans, La., November 14. Alarmed at the extremely likely outlook of being absolutely ignored when they attempt to enter their plugs In the classy races at City Park nnd Crescent City tracks during the winter season so soon t6 start, owners of the runners working at the Louisiana track are now excitedly posing several miles up in the air since the report became current that the racing "a la Louisiana" is not rejoirded as wholesome by the two big tracks and that horses running on the half mile course will be outlawed. The executive committee of the New Orleans Jockey Club, composed of leading turfmen of the country, who operate the two big plants City Park and Crescent City does not confirm or deny the report, but will take definite action on the question within the week, deciding whether or not they will be able to see the horses that have been running at the Louisiana merry-go-round. It is feared they will take action unfavorable to the. latter, but Manager Rabb announces that if they do refuse to recognize them, the Louisiana Driving and Racing Club would keep open at the same old stand when the winter season at the big tracks opened on that day.
