has no hurler complaining Of a
sore arm. Roger Peckinpaugh's
trick back has yet to worry him.
Joe Judges trick knee has not
played any monkey shines.
Chick Gagnon's knee is as strong

both of whom have weak ankles,

their trainer. They are taking
their time, but both should be
ready when the season opens.

Thrown From Horse
In Race, Prince Of Wales
Escapes Serious Hurt

LONDON, March 1G.-(By the AS
| ISOLATED Press.)-National concern
for the life of the heir to the throne
received another shock Saturday whe
the Prince of Wales, only just recov-
! cred from a serious riding accident
involving the fracture Of a collar
bone, again INDUCED his love of
steeplechasing and got a nasty spill
but without serious consequences.
Much as the public admires the
high courage Of the prince, this in
cident is certain to revive in intensi-
fled form the national agitation for
some check upon this undaunted
spirit which places a heavy risk on
the succession to the throne. Pre-
cisely how the necessary pressure
could be applied is hard to imagine,
for the prince has strong will and
will not easily be deferred from his
favorite sport.
The prince was entered in two
events at a steeplechase today in the
army point-to-point meeting at Abor-
field, near Nottingham and he met
with ~mishaps in both.
Prince Henry also came a cropper,
but escaped with little damage. Both
Princes were unseated early in the
afternoon, but were merely shaken
up. Prince Henry was to ride in the
last event of the day, a steeplechase
for the Earl of Craven's cup, but

on the spot and Wales, bleeding pro-
fusely from the nose, was taken to a
