SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED

GTIPENDIARY stewards cost racing clubs the immense sum . of £4000 a year. ; • ' Clubs pay this amount to have experienced .men to look after .their racing, but strangely^ enough when the said experienced men take up a case, the olubs fail to give them the backing they should have. . . \ Now and again amateur stewards do work m with the paid man, but a little later a district committee will knock back both 'the amateur and the professional. . This is a state of affairs that cannot, and should not, be. . tolerated for one moment. , § ' \ It is really a vote of no confidence m the paid stipendiary. That the reversing of the decision m the Memsahib. case . left a nasty taste m the mouths of the two stipendiaries at the meeting is well known. ■ Perhaps next week S"ir George Clifford will give the assembled delegates to the Conference a pretty strong lead. And if the delegates have the interest of the game at -heart, it should be a "prop" and "cop." ; .
