Racing Digest Editor Disagrees With Jan's System.

By George Bowen

BALTIMORE, Oct. l3 —IAP) -— The Japanese professor can have his system of peering into horses‘ cyes for picking the best. A racing editor here would rather look a‘. the race results.

"I'm an optimist. not an optic- ian." said Edgar G. Wfor Genius") Horn today in commenting on a story from Tokyo. The professor, Naonusuke Hazame. said he found 1n eyes that glowed horizontally a sign of a good horse.

Horn. editor of Turf and Sport Digest. finds nothing new in that.

"Everybody knew that a bright- eyed horse was healthy and one with dull eyes wasn't." he says. The same goes for the gloss of the coat. Even a bright-eyed man is better than dull-eyed one—wlio probably has a hangover."

The professor also said he con- cluded after a study that mares are stronger for just over one mile and colts are better for longer dis- tances. He suggested a. study simil- ar to his should be made in the United States.

Well. Horn has made Just. such a study. lie has analyzed 11.564 starters last October and Novem- ber. And this is what he found out:

Of all the colts and horsc= (horses are males 5 years and older) that started in races up to a mile. 12.5 per vent, got into the winner's circle. For geldlmzs (un- sexed colts and horses) it was 10.8 per cent. and for fillies and mares (mares hr-‘ug 5 years and older), if was but R3.

Of all the colts and horses run- Bing at, more than a mile. 12.2 per cent got into the Wiflhfl"! circle. lbr geldlngs it. was 12.1 and fillies and mares M pcr cent.

Hero's conclusion from these figures are that fillies and mares of all ages are at a slight disad- vantage in races up to one mile and at a distinct disadvantage at longer distances. Also that t-hrce- yeu-old colts and geldings car. ‘hold their own against older horses

‘The National Hockey League opened with a bang last night with the Detroit Red Winks 0M9?- taining (he Fliiezigo Black Iiaivks. Each team is scheduled to play 60 games between now and March 20th. Lost night's opening was the earliest in the history of the Na- tional League. About this time of year. lhc opening of the season, ihcrc are many and varied opin- ions as to the ciilibrc and chances of the illfiiYlfillili teams. How will each stack up‘? \\‘ill the Leafs re- tain the Stanley‘ Cup and who will be number two, three, four etc.. in the standing‘? It's any one‘s guess at the first of the season, but the following ilcnis might sway opin- ions or back up hunches that nave already been formulated. The fol- lowing are forecasts and opinions of some of the leading sports writ.- crs across Canada.

n u e a The Toronto lilaple Leafs ap- pear to be fayorites to retain the Stanley Cup again this season, al- though minus their powerful centre forward Syl Apps who has retired. According to Jim (Globe and Mail) Vipond, Cal Gardner. ex- Ranger will be lost to the Leafs for three or four weeks. He suffer- ed a broken nose and cheek bone in an exhibition game. The centre ice spot between Ezlnicki and \Vatson will be held down by Dawes who has shown to good ad- vantage in exhibition tilts.

Detroit Red Wings have been figured by some to give the Leafs the most trouble and according to a report of Coach Tommy Ivan he says “he's satisfied". Points in fav- our of the Red Wings chances are firstly that by Ivan‘s admission they look better than they did this time last ycar. Secondly they arc still a young club though virtually the same as last _\'0fll‘. Only two players dcfcnccman Jack Stewart from ‘Pilot Mound. Mzin., and centre Syd Abel of Melville, Sask.. have reached the 3O mark. Thus with youth in their fiivour the last season can be tnllicd as experience railior than a year atlzictl lo age. .- 0 . a

The Chicago Black Hawks. ac- cording to President Bill Tobin should finish “third or better" in the coming hockey campaign. “If we can pick up where we left off last season we'll give thorn all a run." The team wound up a much more potent aggregation after signing Roy Conacher who was late rounding into form after re- fusing to sign with New York Rangers. and after big Charlie Connchcr took over as coach. For scoring power the Hawks will rely mainly on the "Flying Forts" line they acquired in the famous "five- for-two“ deal which sent Max Bentley and rookie Cy Thomas to Toronto Maple Lcnfs. The line is so named because all three-Gus Bodnar, Bud Poilc and Gaye Stew- art-come. from Fort William. u o a a

It was learned yesterday from reliable sources that the Abegwelt basketball team will pit their skill against a strong aggregation from the H.M.C.S. "Mflglliiivéllf." in aii exhibition encounter at the Prince of Wales College auditorium on Friday night. with the game scheduled to get underway at 7.45.

The game. which will be the first basketball to be seen this season, promises plenty of action ivhich should meet with the approval oi the large local following of fans who are interested in the sport.

Although little is known of the naval team which will take the floor against the local squad. it is believed that they will be turn- ing out a strong, well balanced group of players, and the local “Abbies" are looking forward‘ eag- erly to coming to grips with the visitors, which will be a good test of their strength before the open- ing of the regular basketball sea- son.

The following is the line-up of the local squad which will take the floor Friday night: Len Mich- elson, Joe Cullen, Walter LePage. Angie MacDonald, Don MacLean, Earl Nicholson and Irving Mac- Kinnon, Bob LeClair, John Sicrns and Cliff Court.
