Maryland Jockey Club
Asks New Claiming Rule

In an attempt to correct the abuse
Of claiming races the Maryland Jockey
Club has requested that rule of rae
ing be suspended during the coming
May meeting at Pimlico. This is Rule
l72A which reads:
Every horse running in selling
race may be claimed by any one after
the race for his entered price plus the
value of the race to the winner and as
much in addition as the claimer wishes
TO bid"
For the racing at Pimlico it is re-
Qucsted that the owner, or any one act
ing for him, be barred from claiming
his own horse.
The amendment, is suggested to dis
courage the practice of entering q
horse at much less tnan his value and
then, by putting in a claim, protect
him. This is an abuse that has been
made of the selling race for a consid-
erablc time, and it has occupied the at
tention of the stewards Of the Jockey
Club on various occasions.
1t is also suggested that in the event
of horse being claimed he be prohb-
tied from again starting in the inter.
ests Of his original owner during that
meeting. The Kentucky rule covering
this phase of selling races prohibits
the starting of a horse in other thar
the interest of the man making the
claim for period of thirty days. The
reason for this is to prevent tn,
"friendly claims" that have from tim,
to time been an evil of the claiming
races.

Captain Clarke Says That
Every Village Has Links
and All Play the Game

Golf, the national game of Scotland,
is coming along at such a rapid clip
in this country that it is fast approach
ing the degree of popularity baseball
enjoys. And now comes word by Cap
tain Charles Clarke, who has just come
to this country from England and who
Club on Long Island, that the ancient
game has doomed tremendously since
the armistice and will undoubtedly
supplant cricket as England's national
pastime in q year or two.
",rhc English are fast tiring Of
cricket, because it takes so long to
play game, and it is a sort Of drawn
out affair anyway" said Captain
Clarke. II know from the way golf
is booming it will not be long before
it will be England's national.game, the
| same as it Scotland's. There is one
thing about golf that makes it diff
ferent from all other games; the player
gets the most enjoyment out of it, and
it is the dub who does the most play
ing.
"Prior to the war the English thought
golf was game more for the rich than
for the worker This illusion seems
to prevail in this country, too, although
it is rapidly disappearing as it is in
England. Golf is not an expensive
game to play, and when a person once
learns this fact it does not take long
to make golf convert of him.

England played the game before the

Squad Has First
Outdoor Practice

Arthur Devlin, the Fordham Uni
of the mild weather yesterday after
noon and put his charges through their
first outdoor practice session. Forty
candidates reported for the initial drill,
which lasted for two hours and con-
sisted of batting and fielding.
Finn. Halloran and MacNamara, the
veteran twirlers, each took turn on
the mound, along with Waters, a
youngster from Watertown. Mass, and
Culloton, formerly of Ulster Acad-
emy. The latter made quite a repu-
tation in his high school days and is
expected to add some much needed
strength to the pitching staff.
The infield consisted of Mclaughlin,
Of last years nine, at first base;
Cochran. of bennington High School,
at second; Captain Lefevrc at third
and Start, of Xavier nigh School, at
short.
The most likely aspirants for the
outfield positions arc Buckley and
Keough, of the 1919 aggreg regation;
Stocker and Jordan, of Evander Childs
High School, and Mulry. of Fordham
Prep. 1t is predicted that Buckley,
whose heavy hitting was a big factor
in many of Fordham's victories last
year, will be one the college "finds"
of the coming campaign. In addition
to his strong batting and fast base
running, Buckley tinshod last season
with perfect fielding average.

Golf Is Supplanting Cricket
As England's National Pastime

ployees were provided with golf equip
ment; and once they learned to play
they never left off. And that applies
to any one who starts to play golf.
"Moreover, wages in England have
increased at least 100 per cent, con-
sequently these fellows are in better
position to play the game than ever
before.
"And how the clubs are springing
up in the various sections! 1t is be-
coming so that, as in Scotland, prac-
tically every village has it's links. At
any hour of the day you may find sew
eral pairs Of players roaming the
course. Cricket is on the slide, and
each day the old English game IL
gradually gliding into oblivion"
We marvel at the skill Of some Of
the Scotch players, and yet their abil-
ity to perform on the links is as ma
tural as it is for Americans to play
baseball. Speaking of the game in
Scotland, Captain Clarke says:
when Scotchman comes home
from work in the evening he takes his
clubs and plays a round or two before
dining. Scarcely village but has an
excellent course and, best of all, in
many places it costs only q dollar .
year to belong to club. Five dollars
| will pay your way in any Of them"
The tall Britisher, in discussing the
proposed Standardization of the golf
ball., said he wasn't in favor of such
move. But. he added, were tho manu-
facturers to sell more thirty penny
weight balls, and if the average player
