MEL SHEPPARD RE-ENLISTS
Goes Back to National Guard
After Dishonorable Discharge.

Melvin w Sheppard, holder of many
track records, has re-enlisted in the ma
tional guard. The peerless" one Is no"
member of the 18th Infantry.
Before the officers of the 1ith could ac-
cept Sheppard's application for enlistment
It was necessary TO obtain the consent OF
Colonel Walter b. Hotchkin, commanding
officer of the 22d Regiment Engineers, the
organization to which Sheppard formerly
belonged and from which he was dishonor-
ably discharged.
An officer of the 18th Regiment said last
night that Colonel Hotchkin had previous
ly stated that while Sheppard could not
get back to the ed Regiment he would Will
ingly agree TO his transfer TO any other
regiment.
Since Sheppard's discharge from the 22d
Regiment he was barred from competing
in the recent Milrose games at the 4ith
Regiment Armory. Had Sheppard not been
reinstaed In the national guard it wouio
have affected his chances OF representing
this country I'm the Olympic games at
Stockholm next summer.

Dangerous Harness To BE
Barred, However, from
Use by the Younger
Horses.

In spite Of a stiff fight by many leading
borsemen at the biennial congress Of the
National TrOtting Association in the Muir
ray Hill Hotel, yesterday. the dangerous
boppIes were restored in all except classes
for two three and four year ods. The vote
was 2q5 TO 81, and the rule barring hopples,
which has been in force for two years was
rescinded.
Robert T.. Bach, secretary OF the Park
wav Driving Club, of Brooklyn. resorted to
things sartorial I'm voicing his disapproval
Of The new law. His argument was:
Even women who have adopted our
pIan and have hobbled themselves have
finally had TO take them off. Trainers DO
not devote time enough to properly train
ing their horses for their races on the halt-
mile tracks and so resort to hopples.'
David Bonner said. In speaking against
the resolution:
THE use of hopples is degrading and
disgrace 10 the sport, and ! hope you VIII
not rescind the rule prohibiting them.
want to see hopples done away with. 90
not want TO look upon another horse with
the hopples on. 1t is a curse.
J. NJ. Johnson. OF Boston, former owner
Of Nancy Hanks, said nineteen half-mile
tracks and one mile track which he repre-
sented were opposed to the return OF mop
pies.
II. T. Wallace said, i'm protesting: The
men who are breeding light harness hsrses
are opposed to hopples, and IL their objec-
tons have no influence in This association
they will certainly withdraw and form an
other body The handwriting Is on the
wall. and to permit the return OF hopples
is to take step backward. 1t is no pleas
ure to any one to see fifteen or sixteen
hoppled horses in a race and to wonder
which will be injured or which driver Will
have his neck broken"
Other horsemen spoke in favor Of the
harness which encourages the unnatural
gait. particularly those who are interested
in the half-mile tracks. II was their con-
tention that horses weer scarce and
that the life OF the sport depended on
more entries. Many horses, IT was said,
could not be trained to pace or, in fact, TO
do anything without the aid Of the hopples.
When the vote came IL was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of giving the half-mile track

owners what they wanted after oarrihs
certain classes. The exception IL Is
thought. will discourage hopples by pre-
cluding their use on the younger horses.
Further help was given TO the hai-h'i'e
track owners by the adoption oil inc re-
port OF the rules committee providing that
horses with records on mile tracks shaI oe
allowed three seconds il the entry be not
slower than that Of the hali-mlle track
record The committee recommended an
allowance Of four seconds, but general op-
position resulted and a compromise was
made at three seconds.
Mr.. Gocher. the secretary, advocated the
four-secOnd allowance remarking: III VIII
help the small tracks greatly and result IN
reforms which are much needed. David
Bonner opposed the larger allowance, de-
claring that for sixty years three seconds
had been the usual rule on half-mile tracks
and experience had generally approved
that allowance for mile racers Theoreu-
caly this Is the best that can be done, for
10 fixed rule will cover all cases Some
horses can equal their mile records on n
two-lap track while others cannot travel
within four seconds of their marks.
Additional duties were placed on the IL
censed starter, with which he must com
ply under penalty of expulsion. Although
much opposition DEVELOPED, PROPOSE
tlon was added 10 the rules OF track Off
Gals. as follows: 'In addition to the du-
ties heretofore required OF the starter he
shall give information as to the practical
application of the rules. when called on by
track officers. lie shall, at the close OF
the meeting. send 10 the secretary of the
National Trotting Association a special re-
port Of the races decided, giving the names
Of each Of the starters. thctT positions i'm
each heat as announced and the time made
~ the first and second horses I'm each
heat, together with a notice OF all penal
ties imposed by the judges For a failure
10 do this his license shall be revoked by
the president OF this association"
The starter also shall report TO the secre-
tary II there IS any suppression or mlsrcp-
I'm connection with the same. In support
ing the new rule 10 hold the starter re-
sponsiblc De Forest Settle, OF the Syra-
CuSe Fair Association, said
The hardest thing 70 contend with ls
the suppression Of time on the half-mile
tracks"
Mr.. Gocher. also supporting the change,
added: There IS more cheating I'm the sup
preston of time on some of the half-mile
tracks Of America than any fraud you
know Of
Objections 10 the added duties for the
starter were based on tho assertion that
tho average starter now has as much work
as he can properly do In starting the
horses.
