The system of racing is nearlyall handicaps and train- ed handicappers are permanently mvlvyed w study the form of horses so that the public will get a square deal. ,

_ Horses do not score as we know it. They have their marks set gut “mcll they are to get away from and iii case of a false start each driver at a signal turns his horse brick of his mark. brings him {\- round ‘in unison and lines up to the mark. then if all is ready the ﬁlﬂrlers ﬂag is dropped and they are away. Horses must good- lieaded but of course they are not so inclined to be actors as under our system of racing where they are trained to get away like bul- lets from a ﬂying start. It would

a difficult problem to make over a horse that has been raced under oilr system for any length of time and convert him into a handicap horse.

Hﬂlldicﬂ/D racing is used in Italy. Austria. Germany. France. Belgium Denmark Norway and Sweden and is very interesting to ivatch. par- ticularly when the handicapper makes a. good job of it. The races we witnessed in Germany in 1926 were nearly all driven to cart al- though one driver; the leader over there. Charlie Mills, raced exclus- ively to sulky.

The City Junior League champ- 1011s and possessors of the W. R. Aittken ’I‘rophy will be crowned at the Forum tonight when Royals and Abegweits clash in a sudden- death encounter at the Forum for the title.

Not saying very much but quiet- ly confident of giving their high- iy-favored opponents a merry bat- tle of it Royals last night were set for the fray. Abbies were equally as confident of keeping their vic- tory string intact but at the same time expected a lclt of argument from the hustling, scrappy Royals team.

In the first game of the double bill the Intercollegiate series title

will be decided with S. D. U. mest- i

orphan tally. It was a sensational ﬁnish to a game that started out iamely

enough but wound up in a blaze oi

action. Midway through the third period penalties began to come thick and fast as Referees Earl

Arsenault and Roy Prowse sent nine players parading to the bench, six of them following each other closely that saw both teams play- ing shorthanded for over cessive minutes of the session. Standing out like a beacon light in the Abbies‘ defeat WfiS the work of Ray Stull in the Abbie cage.

It appeared as if the period would end l-all as the clock show- ed 19 minutes gone, but ten sec- onds later Wliitlock and Stewart combined prettily to send the loc- als into the lead.

Only the sensational work of Stull in the Abbie cage kept the Crystals down to one goal in the middle session. Summerslde getting the equalizer with less than two minutes to go. Twice during the session Abbies played short-handed but Crystals could not solve the locals’ baffling defense system. Players were over-anxious on both teams with Bradley and Schurman both whiﬂing on close-in chances by shoot rig wide of the mark.

At 18: Crystals knotted the count. The visitors pittting on the pressure peppered the Abbie cage and Stull only bowed lifter making two sensational saves. l-Iowattslid- iiig the wafer over the line as both teams milled around the Abbie cage. Shots in the period were Stull 14 and Casey 8.

Crystals went Oil a scoring spree after they garnered tile lead curly in the final period with two quick goals by Montgomery tind Gallant.

But the scoring did not start until both tennis were at ftlll strength. Abbies had a goal called back on them previous to this when an Ab- bie player jumped out of the box and instead of going to the bench took part in the play. Stewart got his second goal for the Abbies to ou_t the locals within one of their opponents. but as the losers push- ed hard Gallant broke through for three goals in five minutes to sew up the verdict, Campbell for good measure cleuting the twlnes for the Crystals’ sixth goal of the period with only three seconds of play re- malning.
