/. Abolish the standing start in

he said, ruins many good 2-year-

3. Increase the amount of purses
rather than dividends, spending ex-
cess profits on better quarters for the

4. Engage more practical and ex-
perienced horsemen" as officials or
stewards
S. Make starters responsible to
owners if an assistant brutalizes a
horse at the post
s. Ban the use of "twisters or
pinchers" unless requested.
The owner of Man O. War and War
Admiral observed that great strides
in improvement" have been made in
the last so years.
The officials are better, the tracks
are better and the horses are much
stronger, better and faster" Riddle
said.

out to eliminate the pool" or parlay
system OF betting on foot ball games
from his own arch-duchy, where, as in
other regions. the vice appears to be
eating its way like a canker to the
heart Of the body polite, or right near
there.
The major, having beaten the drink
ing problem in the Big Ten, believes
he is a cinch to vanquish the parlay
evil. Drinking. he says, is just an ugly
memory at Big Ten foot ball games.
Time was when student or alumnus
felt naked without his flask. Today
the flow of barleycorn has been re-
duced to trickle.
"Parlay betting must 60 the way OF
alcohol" says the major, and I guess
1t is q pretty impressive thing to hear
him say 1t.
The major has word for folks who
bet In foot ball pools. He calls them
suckers" 1 don't know where he
picks up that kind of language, but the
fact remains that he is absolutely
right. They are suckers. The ques-
ton here is simply one of moral
philosophy. Is it any of the majors
business whether people make suckers
of themselves or not? Socrates said
yes on this point, and I have sort
of hazy nation that Voltaire said no.
Promoters Get Rich or Abscond.
A NYWAY. mathematically, the foot
ball parlay is a suckers game.
There has been an epidemic of it for
q matter of five years now, the pro-
moters getting rich or absconding
and the public suffering burns either
way. This year there is almost no
reason for pool promoter to alb
scond He can sit still and steer the
business in semi-legitimate way, for
foot ball winners never were harder
to pick.
Here is a sample parlay for this week
the PLAY Foot Ball. parlay, which
does a thriving trade around New York
City. It is like a thousand other par
laws throughout the country. Agents
circulate the weekly card or slip, which
Is filled in and signed by the bettor

n
~ failed to establish any one
spot as a congregating point In prepa-
ration for the annual migration South.
You catch one here and the next
fellow takes another one there, but
there Is no such thing as any one
particular place being the only place
or the best place. Another difficulty
confronting bluefish anglers is lack
of chum. Alewives just have not
been getting into the nets. and about
the only thing you can get at most
ports is Winter shad, a very poor
substitute.
In such emergency try this. Get q
gallon or so Of fish oil to mix with
your shad. Fish oil alone makes an
excellent slick. but it offers no meat
to hold the fish In it. Shad makes
only a small slick but it does supply
the meat. Presto-you have the slick
and the meat.
Better than bIuefishinx when
there are few blues Is rock fish

weather was Tuesday? Well, on that
day Capt. Walter Cheseldine of River
Springs had out Baltimore party
which took in Al rock weighing from
/ to pounds, plus a number OF sea
trout. These were caught trolling.
There seem to be plenty of fish such
as rock and trout schooling in that
part of the Potomac, but there also are
plenty of food fish, and it is difflcult
to induce a rock to strike on artificial
when natural can be had for the
taking.
