I MAY HAVE RACES ON CHICAGO TRACK Chicago, July 11. Prospect of an attempt to re-open horse racing in Chicago was' seen yesterday, when John Condon, owner of the Harlem race track- and deeply Interested In Worth, admitted that he had been approached ap-proached by an agent for a combine for tho promotion of racing in this city. The proposal is to open racing at either Harlem. Worth or Hawthorne, In connection with other sports, and indications are that a heavily-backed set of men will make one last effort I to replant the game that was tabooed a half dozen years ago. "Two or three davs ago. I was visited visit-ed by a man representing himself as the agent for a gToup of men anxious to start racing again In Chicago," said Mr. Condon yesterday. "By request of the agent, it is Impossible Im-possible for me to ?ive out the namg of thse men, hut they are evidently a substantial bunch. Tho reference of the agent were, goad and he seemed seem-ed a business-like, smart fellow. "As far as I am concerned, of course, tho re-ouenlng of the game Is what I would like to see. But there was nothing definitely settled and one must take into account the fact that there has been rumors of a like sort ' going about since the game closed."
