Referee Ross's decision that the first
heat Of the Criterion Stakes must be
rerun, although Cavanagh and Kra-

Let me also say that 1t does not
necessarily require a great amount
| Of intelligence to think out that
Wednesday night course and the idea
that Moretti and Grenda We're team

Grenda didn't think Moretti was in

| Is there any good reason why "Genz
eral Cameron" is permitted to pull"
es he does? 1t is not an unusual sight
70 see him pulling soneeofs the stars
He generally starts his work about
| two and a half LAPS from home and
| everybody Seems to be aware of Ii.
| His partner Invariably wins the race.
| He apparently Is fidfng at the Velo-
| drome for the sole purpose, of pulling.
His pulling has spoiled many races
| that would have otherwise been
| fought very closely. He has taken
| the life out of many races. He rides
| too hard when he is at work, that it
would besfohy for any ofathe stars to
come out and give him battle. His
| work can be seen very plainly, and
| What makes 1t stand out so promi-
! hently is the. fact that he quits"
| bitter he has done his, little Bit"
pameronf lis p good rider and should
| certainly8 show hfs- heels to many of
! the riders, If he would only ride on
| his own
! ] Now, ai~ordofns regard to Spears:
There lisa clamers among the fanssto
/ see this man given q, chance to show
| Just how good he really is. He has
been riding sleigh ride traces for the
most part, but believe that If he
| Mould come out and give battle to
some of the stars fieiwonld fare bet
| ter. There isn't any doubt hut that
in better light than Shes is now en-
Joying. A, match with CaYanagh or
Clark would be Just the thing now.
OF course, it may not prove an at

Don't You think that the2 recent
court decisions In favor of baseball
players and the Kraft, victory of the
brotherhood lfraternity will have "a
salutary effect on organized baseball?
j have always thought your leanings
have been toward the baseball mag
rates, as you evidently imag ined they
had monopoly of the brains as well
rs the baseball business. -,
Like many Z Others, YOU probably
thought the, players grievances were
only imaginary, that these coarse
Iaincultured players, were lucky to be
drawing a. salary sabove a good me-
chanic's wages. 1t probably never
occurred dto you, how long 1T had
taken some of the ball players tc
work their way tor the top, the
chances they took in. perhaps being
crippled for life, the short career Of
the average player, and how easily he
GOULD be relegated to the bush league
or the discard If be was disabled, Oh
il his work temporarily deteriorated
ids it will sometimes. as We have
many examples Of A 'basebaif play
Ter should be regarded in a more seri.
