 "OPEN' CLAIMING | RULEF FOR HORSES
Noted Handicapper Makes Sound Suggestions to Aid Sport ,
By BERT E.. COLLYER Especial to The DeInocratl

Chicago, April 8-Virtual col- lapse of the claiming rules promul-
 gated by the National Association of Racing Commissioners at Miami this winter, boosting the maximum selling value from $2,000 to $5.00O in Kentucky, refusal of Rhode Island to Ego along" with any set of rules, and petitions of lorsemen all over the country for a uniform and fair code governing the claim ing of horses, has focused the at- tention of the turf on this vital question.
 That their must be selling races to protect the small owner never has been questioned. Likewise, 1t is obvious steps must be taken to prevent the activities of the ever present halter-man. The advan- tages of "open" claiming, in which any person may claim horse. and of "closed" claiming, in which the one making the claim must be rep resented in the race, have been argued pro and con for years. Not So Good
 It once was believed that sys- tenn of Graded Handicaps", under which thoroughbreds were divided into three or more groups ihdica- tive of their ability, might be made to supplant claiming races, but the sport of this winter has tended to discount this view. Also, such out standing secretaries as Jack Camp bell and Charles McLennan have virtually thrown up their hands in despair.
 The best opinion of this writer is that the cleaning of horses be "open"; that no animal shall be eligible to race within 30 days after he is claimed; that no animal shall be entered in a claiming race for less than twice the value of the purse to the winner; and that some central board of authority be em- powered not only to draft uni form set of claiming rules, but to issue licenses to trainers, jockeys and others, thus eliminating need less duplication in various states. In view of the fact that claiming races up to $S,000 have been run on Metropolitan tracks (and brought splendid fields postward) there seems no logical reason for setting any maximum on selling events.

BLACK ROCK PIN
 SWEEPS LAST OF INDIVIDUAL MEETS

+ The last big individual classic of the bowling season takes place on Saturday, April 18th, at the Black
 Rock alleys in Bridgeport. It will l be the second annual Fairfield County Sweepstakes and ranks sec- ond in importance only to the East ern Sweepstakes.
 The games are being conducted by Lou Dewey and Tony Iannarone of the Connecticut Yankees who are looking forward to be rendered the same fine support that they were accorded last year at Fair field. Fifty two bowlers took part in the first affair including the ma jority of the states ranking bowl CTS making 1t the most successful competition of its kind that season. Nick Tronsky is the defending champion for his score of 760 for the six games rolled took with 1t the one hundred dollar purse which was guaranteed the winner. He was closely pressed by Jack Otto of Torrington, former national singles champion who lacked nine pins of tieing the Blue Ribbon member. Jacek Gacek of New Britain and Billy Wierdak of Glastonbury tied for third place with tally of TAT, while Jack White, Carl Frisk and Herb Kusako of Ansonia all fln- ished few pins outside of the money.
 The conditions offered this year are the same, the capital prize of one hundreds dollars being guar anteed the winner regardless of the number of entries. The Black Rock alleys have been put into good shape. and the meet has the sanc- tion of the National Duckpin Bowl ing congress.
 The games will commence at 2 p. m. and will continue through until midnight, but no entries will be accepted after 8 p. m. The com petition is open to all corners re- gardless of their affiliations or rat ing and is not confined to residents of Fairfield county.

BY LAwTON CARVER

(Untted Press Stan C0rrespOndentl Naw York, April 6 = (U.P.1- The most determined. capaign ever waged abroad by an American swimming team was played to-day by the A. A. U. against Japan iii August as a prelude to the 1e3e Olympics.
 Beating back from the sweeping defeat by Japan in the 1892 oiym- pics at Los Angeles, champions have been developed who will form the nucleus of a 14-man team for the invasion.
 Robert J. H. Kiputh. Yale coach and chairman of the A. A. U. ma tion-swimming committee, win be in charge of the American team. He announced a squad of 42 from which the IA will be selected after the national outdoor meet in July.
 Can't Miss
 Certain to be named ig Jack Medica, University of Washington student from Seattle, who is called the greatest middle distance swim mer America has known; Jack Gilhula, Detroit youth at the Uni- versity of Southern California; Ralph Flanagan, Miami, and John Macionis, Yale, are other possi- bilities for the 800 in which all of them have lowered Johnny Weiss mueller's best time. In addition Medica and Giluhula are new re- cord-holders in the 220-yard free style.
 Adolf Keller, Lake Shore A. c. Chicago: Dan Zehr, Northwestern University student from Fort Wayne, Ind; and Albert vande Geghe, Newark, N. J., have better ed George Kojac's best backstroke time and are chief contenders for that event.
 Medica's latest feat was to clip 10.3 seconds off his own world S00- yard record in the A. A. U. meet. Saturday night.
 Commenting on Americas chances, Kiputh said:
 United States swimmers have staged a grand comeback since Japan ended Americas 20-year- reign at the 1882 Los Angeles Olynpics" &sf

Championship to Be De- cided Tonight on Clli-
 cagO Table

Chicago, April S.-(UP)-Abe
 schedule of htm oin oin tn om tn Berenbaum of New York will meet
 Mark Schlude of st Louis tonight for the table tennis championship
 and the qualification of a gallery
 which thought it ought to be ad-
 mitted on rain checks, or some- thing.
 No sports audience since the tree sitting and chair-rocking titles were
 decided some years back has taken
 such grueling punishment as Ber-
 enbaum handed out last night in
 defeating Jimmy Mcclure of Indi-
 annapolis, 9-21, 20-22, 21-18, 22-20. E21-17.
 The match lasted 9 hours, 20 minutes, which in the absence of records to the contrary was hailed
 as the longest pat-pat tournament
 contest in history.
 Surprise! Berenbaum was supposed to be a pushover for Mcclure, rated as one of the best table tennisers in the world. Mcclure was scheduled to meet Schlude at 1O:30 p. m., and millions supposedly were waiting to listen in over a national radio net work.
 But when 19:30 arrived the net work had to fill in with 'Isle of Capri" because Berenbaum. was at the moment just halfway through giving Mcclure some experience. The New York boy used a tap-tap- tap technique as exciting as We'd nesday sewing circle. Yawning galleryites wandered out to the bar or the lounge with the score 5-6 and came back to find it 6-6. Many times the celluloid ball hopped across the net 800 times before a fault was scored.
 Ruth Aarons of New York won the women's championship by de- feating Jessie Purves, Des Plaines, Ill.,. 21-18, 21-17, 21-12.
