Regardless of the outcome OF the
Nationwide vote on the relative merits
OF the stall gate and barrier systems
OF starting. general reforms will be
sponsored by Chairman Herbert Bay
ard Swopes Committee on Starting"
which was formed recently by Edwin
j. Brown. president of the National
Association OF State Racing Commits
sioners.
Mr.. Swope says, Regardless Of the
outcome OF the poll, which is now
being conducted throughout the Ma
ton with horSemen, breeders, news
paper men and others interested in the
thoroughbred sport being asked to
state their opinion I wish to go on
record at this time in stating that the
committee definitely will sponsor GER
tain reforms which will be Of tenefit
to the racing public and horsemen. no
matter whether the stall gate is further
Endorsed or the barrier system adopted.
We will work for uniformity
on two points in particular in all
States where racing Is con-
Quoted.
These are: l. Total adjustment
OF all mechanical devices or tools used
by assistant starters, such as twitch.
tongs, nose rope and lip strap, unless
requested in writing by the owner.
z. No horse to be handled by the as
sistant starters, unless directed by the
starter, and not then If so requested
by the owner. These regulations are
incorporated in our New York racing
and We have found them very salts
factory"
1t Is curious fact, that while the
stall gate is entrenched strongly in
favor In America. this country is the
only one using this system. The tabu-
latlon OF votes on the stall gate and
the barrier will not take place until
after April is. Early unofficial re-
turns indicate spirited lineup of
supporters for both starting systems.
While on the subject of starting
horses. we recently received a letter
from w. H. Duggan of Chicago, Ill,
relative to the starting problem.
Mr.. Dnggan says: AFTER II wears
OF experimenting l have perfected
a simple. practical method for
starting horses by combining the
advantageous features of the stall
gate and walk-up start"
Mr.. Duggan claims IL distinct fea-
lures for his method Of starting. and
we are going to give them to you ex-
actly as he lists them.
l. Size Of field limited only by
width Of track.
2. Each horse may be started
from assigned post position, re-
gardless Of characteristics.
;. All horses protected while at
the post.

Sun Egret was snugged in third place.
This was the order in the run down
the back stretch.
