left. The reverse or English way OF
racing at this picturesque park was de
cidedly unpopular both with the public
and with the horsemen, and resulted in
endless confusion to both. Thorough
breds had to be schooled to running in
opposites no less than four times dur
ing the season because of the spring
and fall meetings at Belmont Park.
Unfortunately the -year-olds will
two different finish lines, and this
chute was always unpopular because
little could be seen the first half of the
journey. But some Of this difficulty
will now be obvated by the fact that
the new addition to the grandstand
will place the reserved sections vel
below the finish on the straight races
And it is understood Belmont Park will
not feature -year-old racing sc
strongly as in years gone by.
Starting Steward an Innovation
Another innovation (which should
prove popular and at the same time
better safeguard the interests Of the
paying public will be q starting stew

the jockeys for the first furlong. ],
is at the barrier and in the early run
ming that rough riders and dishonest
riders have the best opportunity t.
play their pranks. The starter has
jurisdiction over the field only unit
it is sent away.
Having a steward at the start should
purity the sport, especially the bare
faced rough riding of certain veteran:
who have been permitted to terrf!
, and ride down the youngsters. 1t is
said, further, that Mars Cassidy viii
be permitted to use the walk-up start
at which style only he is capable OF
handling the barrier. With the walk
up there is no better starter anywhere
than the much abused Mars.
One week of racing in the East has
already rolled into history, leaving il
its wake the impression that the com
ing season will surpass that Of 1920 il
every respect. The Bowie track, which
ushered in the Eastern campaign, is a
best but a backwoods merry go-rount
compared to the others of Maryland
and to the metropolitan ovals. Ye
Bowie attendances never have been Sc
heavy nor speculation so fervid as thi.
year.
There is another reason why the 1921

should be better than usual. The

This commission had hard task on
its hands when it took hold for the
work Of recognizing the sport. A lot
of abuses had gradually crept into the
game, and there were a lot of undo :
sirables, of which it was necessary to
purge the sport.
The commission has eradicated most
of the evil. Its work is not yet done,
but is being done in a manner which
leaves the patrons thoroughly satisfied
in the honesty of professional boxing
in New York State.
Praises the Mat Game
1t is to be hoped that no radical
changes will be made in the present
boxing law. Governor Miller, it seems,
is satisfied with existing conditions.
Whether or not wrestling is placed I'M
der the jurisdiction OF the Boxing
Commission or whether a new commits
sion is to be appointed to superintend
the mat game, makes very little diff
ference.
Wire sitting, if properly controlled,
would be one of the very finest enter
tainments one could imagine. 1t has
become very popular around New York.
after having fallen into disrepute some
years ago. 1t would be pity, having
come back the way it has, if anything
we're done to permit the sport to fall
back into it's oldtime disrepute
Decision bouts have proved a strong
stimulus for boxing around New York.
1t Is natural, Of course, for fighters to
put more spirit into their work when
there is possibility of their losing a
championship, by being outpointed
through definite number of rounds.
Thoroughbred racing wouldn't be
no decisions at the end Of the trials
OF speed? But racing without Judges
would be every bit as sensible as box
IN, without decisions. You can picture
the confusion and worse if every pa
tron of racing were his own judge of
the finish.
On the whole, the officals-I mean
referees, judges and so on-are compe-
tent. Certainly | believe that all of
pected that all will improve with ex-
perlence.
Big Bout to Help Boxing
boxers are honest, too. There have
been cases of some of them going
wrong, but hfte found out invariably

Hair That Is Bobbed.

1t Is all very we'll to say that
bobbed hair is out of fashion, but It
all depends on what you mean by
fashion. You may say that mo one
is wearing bobbed hair now" but the
truth of that depends on whom you
regard as some one.
Throughout large parts Of the
country bobbed hair is as something
fairly new. Every day some one gets
up courage to bob her hair and par
ents are still being teased by their
daughters for permission to wear
bobbed hair.
That the custom of bobbing the
hair is by no means passed might
be proved from the fact that q hat

There are various opinions about the
effect Of cutting hair. Some people
will tell you that to keep hair close
cut or even bobbed will make 1t
stronger. Others say that hair that
Is cut becomes coarse and stiff, or
again that 1t loses it's curl.
There is very little proved substan-
tiation for any of these theories One
thing is certain, that the little girl
who has gone with bobbed hair
throughout childhood has been spared Of
a good many of the woes of having
hair braided or curled that were
known to little girls who lived before
the age of hair-bobbing.
