Ben F. White, dean of harness drivers, who has trained more high priced coils than any man livin or dead. has thrown a bombshcl iriic hairless horse circles by a let- it: which appeared in the Horse- man and Fair World, May am. Ben believes that horses should he need under their win race re- cords in their every start. that all mics should be two in three heats. that two—ycar-old races should be eliminated and that all rules iiiculd be enforced rigidly. It will be interesting to see the reaction. lizwadziys the great farms such an Wiililut I-1ri..'1l lF'a:!n mind vothgrs, rely on the sa a ir year s which are raced as two-yeairs-old llld provide revenues. Carrying them over for another year would mean cciisideraole difference‘ in cut to them or to the parties who liuv 1.:-zm and want quick-results. Tiisre is no question. however. but that the ti-ainliig of two-year-olds Lion the whole harmful. because the era do not have heixdevelopment s‘ri'aii1 of training. at aiure age. Many fall y the wayside as cripples. The opinion 01 a man such as White who has bran at the game for forty years mist carry weight. .

Witnessed,by 5 large crowd of fans the City Baseball League got 1 away to a fine start last night as ; His Worshiphm-ziyor F ster official- ly opened a three team league by hurling a perfect strike over the p ate to send the teams into action for the 1939 season

And a power laden team of northend Rovers, slamming out 15 safe blows off the combined de- liverles of we Eastern Stars hurl- ers walked off for the opening victory by the ctnvincin-v score of 1'1 to 3. Making a total of 29 bases on their hitting barrage that in- cluded three doubles, four triples and a home run the Rovers gal- loped into 9. 9-0 lead in the first inning and from there on just coasted to victory behind the spectacular three-hit hurling of their young moundsman, “Skinny" McKinnon. They added the re- mainder ol’ their run: in the fourth «fifth, seventh and eghth innings to compete their total.

‘; and that was in the 1 ning. Maurice Bolger led off with 1 a triple to be

1/ "the Hambleinnian 1o of Au:-.

Stars looked dangerous on‘y once srconcl in-

scored by Fred Whalen's single but the youngster hurling them in settled down from there and aid by errsrless support by his mates gave up but one hit the remainder of the route that being a double by Pump Boirzer in the seventh which led to the Stars final tally “Pcmp" scoring on two successive infield outs.

But although the game was rather one-sided as far as the score went neverihe'ess the fans

saw two teams igo out and hustle all the way through and if the Stars hadn't got off to such a bad start, seven of the n'ne runs be- ing scored directly from two s'.'c- cessive errors lt would in all prob- ability liave been a close ball game all the way

However before the season is two weeks old the teams will have s~t- tled down to it and from there on the battle for the title promises to be a close knit affair.
