JTH PICKS YANKEES TO WIN AMERICAN LEAGUE PENNAN7
RACING SPORT
HURT BY MANY
SCRATCHES
BY TOM THORPE

BOWIE, Md, April 9.-The
abuse CT the scratch rule has
been the bane of racing ever since
the first contest was held away
back in colonial days.
Horsemen appear to have little
consideration for the interest of
either public or race engagement
They employ the blue pencil with
a freedom that threatens the
game. The liberality of those in
charge at Bowie yesterday al
lowed a 1O-horse field to be
scratched Gown to where it was
necessary to put on a substitute
event. Few knew before coming
to the course that the advertised
race would not be run. This was
hardly fair treatment.
Racing exists solely through the
good grace of the general public.
Should the latter refuse 20
patronize racing in sufficiently
large numbers to make gatherings
pay, we would have few meets
about he country. This was
proved concluSively when the
Percy -. Gray laws put a stop TO
racing in New York.
Sport Threatened
The sport was threatened
throughout the country the mo-
ment it halted on the big ap-
pile" courses. When the various
owners named their thorough
breds in the fourth race at
Bowie Thursday. They knew
we'll the public expected them
to race.
The news was spread through.
out the country that the ten
horses so named would go to
the post, provided there was
not a change in track condi.
tions or injury to a prospective
starter. No one expected the
race to be declared off because
six owners did not care to start
their horses.
1t is time that a universal
scratch rule was accepted by all
racing bodies. Under present
conditions each section has its
own favorite rule, the result be-
ing we have more confusion
about this end of the game than
any other in the sport.
A universally accepted rule
would eliminate all this confusion.
Once a hose was entered the
general public should know exact
ly what conditions would have
to arise to allow the latter to be
withdrawn.
Liberal Rule Needed
The writer is not one who eX-
poets a horseman to race their
thoroughbreds under adverse con-
ditions. A liberal rule, such as
they have in Kentucky, where
horsemen are allowed to scratch
down to eight starters, would be
a truly popular one with both
public and management. Under
such conditions a horSeman
would have a chance to get out
without telling a falsehood. This
would help to eliminate some OF
the secrecy which one finds on
the race tracks Of the country.
BY opening up the rule so that
the public would be able to find
out the true facts in each case
will do much good for the game.

.HAYRE F D R NJ s
STRONG NINE
BY SID KATZNELL


That energetic young fellow,
Jim Hayre, has organized a pow
erful midget baseball team which
he believes will burn up the op'
position in the Capital City,
French, and American Legion
Leagues this year.
The nine will be known as the
Goodacre Athletic Club. Hayre
will be assisted by Bill Bresnahan,
whose experience is wide.
League Meets Tonight
The roster includes Darmstead,
Cuzzo, Wahler, BreSnahan. Boyd,
Stein, Hollidge, Burrows, Dugan,
Bieber, Dean, Bryan, Miller, Diver,
Crisafull, Farame, Pepper and
Brosnan.
Final plans for the organization
of the French's insect baseball
league will be discussed tonight
at Z o'clock at the French's Sport
Store. All team managers are
urged to report promptly.
Zip Poole announces that the
Wonder Bread A. C.. will only
sponsor a midget club this year
He says:
"After trying for the past
month to organize a Junior or
senior team I find the candi-
dates with few exceptions, be-
lieving themselves ready for big
time baseball, whereas the truth
is they are hardly capable Of
playing midget baseball"

Great Britain's Form of Conditional Treaties Differs
From the Policy Of United States

Vashington-In an editorial dis.
and the recent announcement that
Great Britain plans to negotiate
commercial treaties providing fol
reciprocal tariff favors. the 81
Louis Post-Dispatch describes the
Two outstanding forms of CONNER
cial treaties, as follows:
Under unconditional most
favored-nation treaties, coun-
tries agreed to give each other
tariff treatment as favorable
as they give to their countries.
But there Is no commitment
by either party to such n
treaty as to absolute height Of
the rates.
"Under conditional most ia
vored nation treaties, there is
q bargaining on particular
rates. Parties to such a theaty
agree TO give each other. spe-
cial concessions which are not
granted to third countries en-.
cept In return for similar con-
cessions In rates."
The Post Dispatch then points
out that until 1922 the United
States always favored the condl.
tional form Of the most-favored.
