when the elements interVeued,

Buddy Myer alone reached first
off MacFayden, getting his base in
the second on Reeves error, but
after Bluege had lined to Scarritt.
Judge hit into a double play.
Flagstead's single in the visitors
section was a shot to right and he
moved to second on Bill Regan's
sacrifice. Going to third on Reeves
infield hop, the veteran outfielder
died when Todt grounded out.
Pulling out for Quakerland to-
morrow, the Griffs are to open the
1929 season at Shibe Park with the
first of a three-game series.
Completing this visit they
are to move on to Boston to
engage the Red SOx twice be-
fore returning to the Stadium
for a VaIne with the New
York Yankees, April 2S.
After an off-day here they will
journey to New York for a three
game series with the Yankees and
then travel to Cleveland, where
they will inaugurate their first
Western swing of the 1929 cam
paign.
Much stress is being laid on the
Athletic series opening tomorrow.
Aroused by the two defeats handed
them by the Elephants last week,
the Griffs are prepared to spoil
the opening day plans of the Phila-
delphia citizenry. Garland Brax-
ton, Fred Marberry and Sam
Jones, possibly in that order. are
likely to be used in an effort to
squelch the mauling AS.
Quite bit of whoopee was
raised among the fans in right

favorite, Sammy Rice, returned to
his familiar location.
Sammy got q great hand
when first going to bat and,
though he failed to connect,
was still a hero when return

Rice was sent to right field when
it was learned that Red Barnes,
the fighting Alabama boy, had been
playing with a bad knee and was
unable to hit his fastest clip.

of Baltimore, who is interested In
the c. NJ. Waite stall starting gate,
lis strongly in favor Of doing away
with the tape or barrier, as he
thinks it is unnecessary and cause
of accidents.
He says the inside and outside
arms often fail to work and the
horse or rider is caught. causing
a friction, which burns or causes
Ia horse to carry the tape for q
half mile. thus losing whatever
chance he had for victory.
With the McGinnis and other
machines, it is necessary to use the
tape to line up the horses. but
with the stall gate the horses can
be lined up without the tape. Horses
for years have been taught to
break with the sound Of a bell and
they will break regardless whether
the barrier rises or not, SO there is
no apparent reason why the web
bing is not abolished.
The new Waite gate has elifni-
mated the iron bar that horses broke
over. Now horses are two feet in
front of the bar and it is almost
impossible for a horse to get hurt
or kick another.
