RACING RULES CAUSE l , _PROBLEMS FOR RAILBIRDS

i- i

IIAIITFORD. Conn., liar. l2.-Al-

thought tho National Trotting; Asso- ciation and the Anicricaii 'l‘rottiii'.; Associatioris :idopt;~.l the s;iinc rules of liariieiss' `rfici`n}; lii`st`\\'iiiici' there is_nioi'e than a possibility that they inay not be interpreted the siiiiie way by botii organizations when the turf courts hold their semi-aniiiial ses- sions next niontli in New York iiiiii (‘iiicago. I

The rule coiiccfriiiiig which oillciiil

opinions differ' is the one which says that “after the iiftli lieat only hcat winners shall 'start unless two liors- cs have each won two lieats: in that event they shall only start iii the sixth heat." The new rule inode tro- uble all tliroiigh the season on the' trotting tracks, and was interpreted in- different ways by dii't'erent judges t'roin the beginning to the cud ot`

the campaign. ;

In the' 2.20 race iii lIillgrovf», it.

l., on June 27, for cxaniple. Robby

(‘.., won the iirst und foiirtii heats and Cilllt. Velo the second and third heats. Wlhen it came to the tiftli round Benzol outtrotted them both and looked like the ultimate winner ot the race ii’ it went to a iinish. but at this juncture the judges ruled him out, while the horse he had beaten fought out the sixth heat alone in time more than three seconds slow- cr than his own.

In the 2.15 race at Warren, Ohio,

the next day, a ruling directly con- trary to the one at liiissgrove was inadc by thc judges. Toild Temple won the iirst *two heats, Ornionde Rose the third licat und (iolonel Rlx cr tiic fourth and tiftli heats. Ap- parently ignoring the plain language oi’ the new rulc, the Ohio judges per- inittcil all three horses to start in thc sixth heat.

The most important ruling ot' the

season was inude in the annual rac cs for the Transylvania purse. $5,000 at the meeting ot the Kentucky Trot- ting liorsc Breeilcrs’ Association, ln licxiiitzton, ii iiioiith ago. lloss Ii. won thc iirst heat. Early Dreams the sr-cond, Royal Mac tho third hciit ‘fiiiii iriia .lay thc foiirtli and tit`tli iiciiis. All four heat. winners were permitted to start in the fifth heat, us the sitiiation provided for in tlio new rule had not yet arisen wliero two lioi‘s;~s had two heats a» piece to their credit. lint the judges dcenicd it to have arisen after Royal Max won the next' heat, anti they proinptiy ruled out both Early Oreains Lind Ross ll., lcaviiig only tlir- two hor- .-os having two liciiis apiece to 'their credit to start in the scveiitii round.

Though the frost was cruel; When a poor nian came in sight

Gath’ring winter iue'l.

Second Singer: ‘Sire‘, he lives a good league hence, Down beneath the mountain, 'lose against the forest fence

By St. Agnes’ fountain",

First Singer ‘Bring me iiesn and bring me wine,

Bring mc' pine logs- hither; '

Thou and I we’ll see him di-ne

When we bear them thither."

Second Singer

'Sire the night is darker now,

And the siorin grows wiider Fails my' heart, l know not how
