For some time a movement has
been under way to prevent
evasions that have been occurring
and that have been bringing some
discomfort to those strictly adher-
ing to the regulation.
Word today from Frank ].
Bryan, secretary for the Hunts
Committee of the National Steeple-
chase and Hunts Association,
points out that the committee
unanimously has decided that in
the future all amateur riders
licensed as trainers will be obliged
to respect the rule.
Action Is Deserving
Often it has been pointed out
that evasions of rules by people
charged with the duty of uphold
ing the code of this great sport
mean the ultimate destruction of
the sport, and the action of the
hunts committee will be greeted
with cheers.
During the past hunt race meet
ing season, amateur riders licensed
as trainers quite often rode out
side mounts after turning over to
other trainers horses under their
control entered in the same races.
This procedure caused many
people to suspect that all was not
what it should be.
While anyone would hesitate a
long time before charging dis
honesty in such instances, never
theless, such activity by amateur
riders licensed as trainers left
the sport as i whole wide open to
attack by those who would as
soon see the sport eliminated.
National Body On Job
Throughout the country, wher-
ever hunt race meetings are the
vogue, the decision of the Hunts
Committee means that the Ma
tional body is very much on the
job.
The Hunts Committee of the
National Steeplechase and Hunts
Association is composed of Henry
G. Vaughan president of the
Masters OF Fox Hounds Associa-
ton, representing New England ,
F. S. Won Stade representing
New York;, Richard Whitney
representing New Jersey, John
Strawbridge representing Penn

wick, Henry w. Bull and j. E.

FANSARE ALARMED AT SLOWNESS OF GRLFFNEl
GR|FF ENJOYS
BILOXI LIFE
UNWORR|ED
BY GARRETT WATERS

OEAASASA - NAAA ANASS
They've often said no news is
good news. But with the Wash
ington Baseball Club the ap-
parent lack of it during the past
few weeks has filled the average
baseball fan with alarm.
It's an unhealthy situation, be-
lieves Mr.. and Mrs. Gus H. Fan,
for one big reason.
Clark Griffith, president Of the
Washington Griffmen, has been
in Biloxi. spring training base OF
his employees, for three weeks,
and has transacted but a hand
full of business, such as the sign
ming of a couple of players and
scheduling of as many exhlol'
ton games.
When, He Inquiries?
When is something going to
happen. the same Mr.. and Mrs.
Gus H. Fan inquiries? How ABOUT
some news about additional
players signing? How about the
announcement Of the complete
exhibition schedule? How about
anything to help warm the WIN
ter league stoves which are quite
chilly at the present moment.
The answer is quite apparent
even though Griff and his brotner
baseball men will put an emphatic
negative sound on the subject. A
tough time is being had to get the
bows in line. And not only this,
the owners are finding it difficult
to adjust their expenses whereby
A happy balance will be met by
the termination Of the new cam
paign.
In the Washington Clubs be-
half. Griff firmly belives he'll get
all of his worries adjusted before
the training season commences
within the next two weeks.
Almost Right
In this belief he's almost right,
as big league baseball performers
most always fall into line despite
the rawlings they unloosen before
finally signing up. Still, they're
holding back at the present be-
cause. as far as this department
can learn, several are not quite
satisfied with the re-adJuStmenC
their BOSNIAN is endeavoring to
reach. .l
One of the best illustrations OF
the lure which keeps big league
performers falling into line oe-
spite their rawlings on salary sub
iects. was handed out by Lett wal
ter Stewart at Biloxi last Spring
Lefty said:
"You might disagree or be
dissatisfied with contract terms
during February, but when
spring training time comes
you're always glad to get the
old glove and spikes out OF the
mothballs again to make ready
for the campaign ahead.
81 know / am, as every year

ing Of the season before and
how much better 1 hope to fare
in the year to come. That
makes me want to begin train
ing even though 1 might have
q slight salary difference with
my club-few differences, If
any, I've ever had"
And so it is with this bit"
that club owners, Griff as the
Washington Clubs example, are
comforted in the idea that all will
be satisfactorily adjusted in due
time, even though business" is
at a standstill, this the eleventh
hour period before training camp
departures.
But then again, there may be
several surprises this season. Lots
and lots of worrisome things have
been known to happen in the past.
