ON the stall gates I'm the Far
South:
"Hugh Gilmore, who has been
acting as starter at Jefferson In
VIII Hamilton's place, has done
himself so proud in all his starts
that it must be explained this is
no criticism of him or any of his
starts.
But the fact remains that the
starts Gilmore has made out of the
Waite {stall gate have been so
much more satisfactory-so much
faster and so much *better--that
there can be no question OF the
superiority of the stall gate bar
rier.
1T is surprising that so many
on the stall gate as an encroach.
ment on their rights. Why? Sure
ly they cannot deny the advantages
of the stall gate barrier.
And they are narrow to
think the gate will knock them
out Of a livelihood, because it
Is just as necessary to have
a good starter with the stall
gate as II is to have one with
the barrier.
The establishment OF the stall
gate on the American turf will
mean the elimination of few
assistant starters. but those men
are but poorly paid and it will be
q relief to the public: as we'll as
to the horsemen and jockeys. to be
rid of some Of the assistants. The
assistants can turn around and
obtain more rcmunerative and more
satisfactory employment.
The best things the starters can
do is to make up their minds the
stall gate has come to stay and
turn their attention to perfectine
themselves and their crews in its
operation. The great wonder OF
the turf age is that the stan gate
has been so long coming. 1t is
sorely needed"

cue and quit while playing the
championship game in the pocket

Taberski walked out in the

that Greenleaf, who was de-
Tending his national title, had
failed to "calI q shot," and that
twice the champion had left the
enclosure, which is an infractiOn

Stall gates are here to stay. How
ever, those in use at Bowie just
don't do unless each and every
starter breaking from the infield
gates has an equal chance, some
thing that did not exist last month.
1t may be that Pending win be
able to remedy the faults at Bowie,
hut the writer can't see why the
various Maryland racing associa.
tions don't adopt a gate that can be
used on the track proper, and which
could be wheeled off in Is 10 20 Sec
onds. such as the Waite gate, which
I saw used successfully scores Of
times the past few weeks at New
Orleans.
Outside Of Bowie, which Is
always ready to please those who
pay the freight, other State
tracks have been backward about
giving starting gates trial.
After the demonstration last
month at Bowie. which did not prove
100 per cnet successful, but was still
good enough to show up the old
method Of starting horses without
gates, Pimfico. Havre de Grace and
Laurel cannot pass up stall gates
Any longer, unless they don't intend
to give the fans who make racing
possible chance for their money.
The Waite gate, now In use at
Jefferson Park, New Orleans, Is
only one of the stall gates available,
but it has functioned so well that the
writer brings to mind in endea Vor-
ing to have the State associatio
ret aWay from the Old.fashiOnpd idea
that fields can best be sent away
without gates. After the 17-minute
delay in the only race started with
out gates last month at Bowie, every
one must admit the mechanical idea
is the best.
