Formation of a four and possibly five team softball league comprised of three service squads and civilian

teams, was definitely decided at last night's meeting held at the Y. M. C. A.. iit which representatives of the Air Force, Navy and Army were present together with meni- bers oi‘ three lociil clubs.

with regards to baseball, two local clubs held uut for the hard ball variety but were outvoted by the reziiiiintlci" of the re resenta- ll\(‘$ present. However, tils dues not by l\li_\' ineiiiis mean that bane- bull i= golliﬁ‘, to be l\ (ieaci issue.

last year a league functioned with a good deal of success and plans are being laid to make this season an even better one. Old- llllll‘ followers of s ort are to be invited to head the eague which is ii good movi- in itself.

Fact is.

NEWMARKEI‘. England. May. l0 -- As long as horses run on the , green turf of England‘ the argu-l ment. over too Jockeys honors will go on. And as long as horses run the argument probably will remain unsettled. ,

So far as present-day riding goes! stocky Gordon Richards must be recognized as king. He equalled a 57-year-old record by riding his 2.749th winner as Newmarkets historic track opened its 1943 sea.- son but Gordon would be the last to claim himself as Britain's great.- est iuckty of all time.

I'm" such an historic landmark in sport, Gordon's feat in drawing level wit-ii Fred Archer's mark re- ceived little recognition from the crowc. as the 39-year-old jockey guided the Aga Khan's Human home first in the Maiden Plato, One reason was that Gordon al- ways has discouraged any undue estimation of his prowess.

Times Have Changed Britain's champion Jockey 13

times in Zl yearn of riding, Rich.- ards will add many more winners

‘but tui-fmen consider it impossible to compare him with Archer be- icause of the vast difference in eon- ‘dltions under which the marks ,were made. f Lord Russell. it membe of the ‘ll-louse of lords, summed up the ’sltuation nicely in a letter to the London Times a few days before lthe record was equalled. He said: "Richards no doubt will ride I ‘larger number of winners but he cannot approach Archer's ‘record’. Archer rode his first winner in 1870 and diec. in 1886 aged 29. Richards rode his first winner in‘ H921 and is now aged 39. Archer

had to waste in order to ride at weights which are well within the |reiwh of Richards. Archer. with, fewer mounts, rode a number of winners in l8 years which Richard, with more mounts. will have taken over 21 years to equal."

ln Archer's heyday the cry most frequently heard was “The Tlnman iArcherii nickname) Winn" and when he was buried at Newmai-kat after a life of semi-starvation to keep his weight down. it was said "Tnereil never be another Jockey like Pied Archer; his record will stand‘ forever." | lfls g-reimst your was in i885 .wlien he wls on M0 winners. -In i933 Richards rode 269 first- mlaoers but he had more mounts ,than Archer _

As an added example of futility of comparison, Archer won the Derby five times while that race is the only classic in which Richards hasn't booted home a winner. In addition, piwsent-diiv competition lii considered keener.
