NO SANCTION FOR LA SALLE, N. Y., TRACK Neither Jockey Club Nor State Racing Commission Will Recognize Course Promoted by G. H. Browne. SARATOGA SPRINGS, X. Y., August 23. There will be no Jockey Club recognition or State Racing Commission license for the proposed race track at La Salle, N. Y., with which Grant Hugh Browne and his clients are planning to tap the Buffalo racing territory. That is certain. The stock selling stories about a granted license and Jockey "Club recognition and encouragement are bald fables. The mere connection of Grant Hugh Browne with the proposed organization at La Salle condemns it with the racing riders of the State of New York. Browne is not welcome, neither is any racing organization with which he is connected. Mr. Frank R. Hitchcock of the Jockey Club, and one of die stewards here, said today: "The Jockey Club does not know of the La Salle organization and lias not recognized or encouraged it." The State Racing Commission has never heard of Grant Hugh Brownes scheme and, if. it does, will not be likely to welcome it. Therefore, the stock-selling slogans about Jockey Club liceiise, recognition and encouragement are- untrue and deceptive. Grant Hugh Brownes pennant-above the La Salle project is a black flag and should be so regarded by solicited investors. As a race track owner, in whole or in part, Grant Hugh Browne is an impossibility, and as a race track promoter with stock for sale Grant Hugh Browne is financially dangerous and unsafe. His associates may be sounder than Browne. If they are, they must suffer fronthe judgment usually passed on persons in bad company.
