STRAIGHT, PL ACT&SHW By FEE Regardless of the outcome of the Nation-wide vote on the relative merits of the stall gate and barrier systems of starting, general reforms will be sponsored by Chairman Herbert Bay ard Swope's "Committee on Starting," which was formed recently by Edwin J. Brown, president of the National Association of State Racing Commis sioners. Mr. Swope says, “Regardless of the outcome of the poll, which is now being conducted throughout the Na tion 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 cer- j tain reforms which will be of benefit 1 to the racing public and horsemen, no : matter whether the stall gate is further indorsed or the barrier system adopted. "We will work for uniformity on two points in particular in all States where lacing is con ducted. "These are: 1. Total abolishment 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. ! 2. No horse to be handled by the as- j slstant 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 satis factory." It is a 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 lation of votes on the stall gate and the barrier will not take place until after April 15. Early unofficial re turns Indicate a spirited line-up of supporters for both starting systems. While on the subject of starting horses, we recently received a letter from W. H. Duggan of Chicago, 111., relative to the starting problem. Mr. Duggan says: “After 11 years of experimenting I 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 12 distinct fea tures for his method of starting, and we are going to give them to you ex actly as he lists them. 1. Sixe of field limited only by width of track. 2. Each horse may be started from assigned post position, re gardless of characteristics. 3. All horses protected while at the poet. Rossvan's Comment Selections for slow track at Botvie tomorrow. BEST BETT—MY ELSIE. FIRST RAC E—APPREHEND, ACAUTAW, SIR TEN. APPREHEND, which campaigned with fair success at Santa Anita, comes from a stable of fit horses and probably will take down the chief honors. ACAUTAW ntns his best races over this course and is accorded the place. SIR TEN, on his showings at the Fair Grounds, must be considered a stout factor. SECOND RACE—PROWL, FREE RIDE, CAN BLOOM. PROWL, but for the fact that he was tardy leaving the post in his first try at this course, probably would have been the winner. He is accorded another chance. FREE RIDE has early speed and is the one to beat in the stretch. CAN BLOOM has been carefully pre pared for her seasonal bow. * THIRD RACE—MY F.LSIE, BAR TERING KATE, CHANCING. MY ELSIE turned back a for midable field in her last race at Hialeah Park and the Shandon Farm miss needs only to retain that form to take the measure of this band. BARTERING KATE flashed a bit of early speed here the opening day and appears sec ond best. CHANCING has a slight edge for the show. FOURTH RACE—HIGH BLAME, JACAM, MY PORTER. HIGH BLAME is in capable hands and is expected to run his best race today. With the educa tion obtained in some smart per formances in Florida this past win ter he should easily down these youngsters. JACAM has some smart moves in the speed book and may take the place. MY PORTER may scrape into the picture. FIFTH RACE—FLYING WILD, ' JACQUELINE M, GHOST QUEEN. FLYING WILD, in the light of the showings she made at the Fair Grounds, is given first call here. Usually alert at the barrier, she may break in front and lead all the way. JACQUELINE M has raced with a better grade and appears the strongest contender. GHOST QUEEN has an edge on the others. SIXTH RACE—ADVOCATE JR., TULEYRIES STAR, OLD FIELD. ADVOCAn JR. has bean or ttaa sidelines all winter, but is reported fit and ready for the question. Gifted with plenty of early speed, he should take command at once and retain his advantage to the end. TULEYRIES STAR was a shifty sort at Oaklawn and will make a strong bid. OLD FIELD for the show. SEVENTH RACE—AIRLAP. MOR RIS GRINER. CHATTERDOO. AIRLAP had Just about come into his own at the close of Hia leah Park and if he still retains that form he will have little trou ble in registering a victory here. MORRIS GRINER, on his New Orleans races, is accorded the place award. CHATTERDOO should be up in time for the minor award. ——■ «— I [) BOX. 4. All horses moving when bar rier is sprung. 5. Public assured horses are In alignment when barrier is sprung, no matter what the angle. 6. Practically nothing above the fence to obstruct the view of horses or odds board. 7. Necessity for use of “twitch” is eliminated. 8. No horse ever left at post. Long delays avoided. 8. Barrier safest ever used—trav els horizontally and vertically. 10. Nothing touches the track or nothing above the horses, yet re tains in effect the “partition” fea ture. 11. Start fascinating to watch and in keeping with the sport. 12. Prevents perspiring horses from cooling out while standing at post on chilly days. Mr. Duggan asks for an oppor tunity to prove what he claims, and we are writing him for detailed descrip tion and drawings of his method. He predicts that you will be astound ed at the simplicity and efficiency of his device. As soon as we receive these drawings we will discuss the merits of Mr. Duggan's starting sys tem in this column. If it is only half as good as claimed, Maryland tracks would do well to install it without delay. SKY PAINTER FIRST Gains Leg on Prince Bowl in Sparkling Triumph at The Plains. By ROBERT B. PHILLIPS. Jr. Staff Correspondent of The Star. THE PLAINS. Va., April 2.—Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Sky Painter won 1 the first leg on the bowl offered by Mrs. Frederick H. Prince this after noon with a beautiful ride from Hor ace Moffett, who also had put away last week the Middleburg Bowl and thereby guaranteed Sky Painter to be one of the finest point-to-point horses that had ever traveled the tim ber fence. In second place came Mrs. Whit ney's Spar ridden by George Robert Slater and third was My John, owned and ridden by Billy Hulbert. In the paired division, Francis Thornton Green finished far ahead of all others, but had lost his partner far back in the ruck and the race was won by Mildred Gaines and Mrs. John Hinckley, who were the first to finish as a pair. Both the races were run over a beautiful course of timber, stone walls, chicken coops and other ob stacles natural to a hunting country. From the Garretts Hill virtually all the course was visible to the specta tors. Slierbalm Stakes Paced by Stott Rolling the first block of the Sherbahn Sweepstakes last night at the Takoma alleys.

Passes Independence Boy at Last Jump—Dorette Spills Mott. By the Associated Press. CAMDEN, S. C., April 2—Ostend, a big bay gelding, carried the silk* of Mrs. Frank M. Gould of New York to victory today, snatching the lead at the last jump of the Carolina Cup Steeplecha.se and finishing four lengths ahead of the field. The $500 event, witnessed by 8.000 spectators, was run in a drizzle, but the sun came out later to provide per fect weather for the rest of the races. The course was damp from heavy rains, but not too wet to hamper the going. Ostend, the favorite, covered the 3-mile timber course in 6.05.6, with Henry Frost of Middleburg. Va., up. Independence Boy. from the stables of W. B. Ruthrauff of Rumson, N. J., led most of the way, but finished in second place. Corn Dodger, from Paul Mellon's Rockeby stables, was third.
