It is true that if the contract were incidental to a right of property either in the land or in goods upon the land, there might be an irrevocable right of entry; but when the contract stands by itself, it must be either a conveyance or a license, subject to be revoked. 227 U.S. 633, 636-37 (1913) (emphasis added).

Mr. Justice Holmes

delivered the opinion of the court.

This is an action of trespass for forcibly preventing the plaintiff from entering the Benningh Race. Track in this District after he had bought a ticket of admission, and for[*636] doing the same thing, or turning him out, on the following day just after he had dropped his ticket into the box. There was also a count charging that the defen da ntr conspired to destroy the plaintiff’s reputation and that they excluded him on the charge of having 'doped’ or drugged a horse entered by him for a race a few days Ire-fore, in pursuance of such conspiracy. But as no evidence of a conspiracy was introduced and as no more force was used than was necessary to- prevent the plaintiff from entering upon the rac.e track, the argument hardly went beyond an attempt to overthrow the rule commonly accepted in this country from the English cases, and adopted below, that such tickets do not create a right in rem. 35 App. D. C. 82. Wood v. Leadbitter, 13 M. & W. 838. McCrea v. Marsh, 12 Gray, 211. Johnson v. Wilkinson, 139 Massachusetts, 3. Horney v. Nixon, 213 Pa. St. 20. Meisner v. Detroit, Belle Isle & Windsor Ferry Co., 154 Michigan, 545. W. W. V. Co. v. Black, 75 S. E. Rep. 82. 85. Shubert v. Nixon Amusement Co., 83 Atl. Rep. 309. Taylor v. Cohn, 47 Oregon, 538, 540. People v. Flynn, 114 App. Div. 578, 189 N. Y. 180.

We see no reason for declining to follow the commonly accepted rule. The fact that the purchase of the ticket made a contract is not enough. A contract binds the person of the maker but does not create an interest in the property that it may.concern, unless it also operates as a conveyance. The ticket was not a conveyance of an interest in the race track, not only because it was not under seal but because by common' understanding it did not purport to have that effect. There would be obvious inconveniences if it were construed otherwise. But if it did not create such an interest, that is to say, a fight m rem valid against the landowner and third persons, the holder had no right to enforce specific performance by self-help. His only right was to sue upon the contract for the bread). It is true that if the contract were incidental to a[*637] right of property either in the land or in goods upon the land, there might be an irrevocable right, of entry, but. when the contract stands by itself it must be either a conveyance or a license subject to be. revoked.

Judgment affirmed.
