now confronting the nation
If the pruning knife could be wisely ap-
piled 10 the living expenses OF the aver
age family the adjustment OF trade rela-
tons and the Industrial situation would
be vastly improved in a little while, but
the fear is that the family will make the

spend more, and finally go down IN the
ocean of debt.
one view Of the situation Is. that tits
pruning knife to expenses is being stp-
piled. not only in the household. but in
business, and that the good effect is be-
ing felt by the gradual widening Of the
margin between earnings and expenses.
Some say this is the groundwork OF the
hope that has come to business men

Game at Aqueduct
Track.
NEW YORK. Anril Is.

NEW OHh, April Ia.
r INTEREST among followers of
sport in Greater New York was
divided today between American
League Park, where the baseball teams
of Boston and New York locked horns
again after their fourteen-inning tie
game of yesterday, and Aqueduct, Long
Island, where the Eastern racing sea-
son was scheduled for its formal open
ing with the initial day of the Queens
County Jockey Club meeting.
For devotees of the turf the new rae
ing season opened under conditions
that hold the nerve of racing men at a
tension higher than any pitch reached
in even the most critical stages here
tofore of TIE turf in America With
legislative uncertainties surrounding
the future of the sport in many direc-
tions, the one certainty to patrons was
that brave renewal would be made.
The best hopes of racing men are based
on the confident attitude of the organ
ized management of the turf. the
Jockey Club, and the positive stand
taken by racetrack managers and
owners.
Last year the crisis was met with
some doubt and timidity and with a
fardy opening of the season Some of
the same experiences are to be re-
peated this year. but confidence has
grown steadily, and the gathering of
horsemen from all parts Of the world
for the first meeting in New York in the
face of the latest antagonism to the
sport is fairly indicative OF the hopes
of the turf interests for an ultimate
triumph for the sport of horse racing
