Why Macaroni Was Disqualified

THE RULING IN DETAIL

Aa unhappy Incident occurred in the "All Out Stakes when less than 160 yards from home, Macaroni, who just managed to got out of the scrum. bumped Mistake Bay and then ran across the field. flowever, the pony was disqualified and the Stewards suspenter the jockey for the re- mainder of the first half racing season. Mr. Fang was permitted to ride in the subsequent race and there was some controversy over the mat- ter. First of all lot us be well versed with the interpretation of the rules anci pertaining to "Weighing Out"

Weighing In." The former means. the weighing out of starters and the rules of racing taken from the Ruff's Guide under this heading are as follows:

HAY AND CORN STAKES

Heriot's Amazing Quartor-Mile

There was a good field of 13 runners in the sprint race, the Hay and Corn Stakes over fiva furlongs, and the ponies rushed away from the barrier at full speed. Horiot took the lend and it was amazing to relate that from the half-a-mile post to the last quarter pole, he covered the distance of 440 yards in 28.2/5 seconds.

Mr. Dietz, the jockey, rode a very hard race on Copper Idol and in- cidentally this was his Brat winning mount of the year.

I expected Miracle to be in the limelight but he gave a very poor performance and it seemed that the BADMINTON going was not to his liking.

It was a contest of exciting, but not brilliant hockey. There was far too much barging, sticks and kicks, one of the chief offenders being Khan Bahadur,

Nevertheless Portugal deserved their success as they played the better hockey, after the first trying half an hour during which their defences were tested to the full.

WINNER FOR THE LAST EIGHT?

(By "Varitas")

A. V. Cosano, Club de Recreio's champion singles ten- nis player, had the tussle of his life to eliminato Captain J. D. Milne from the open champion- ship yesterday, finally winning in the third set of a 29 game *match.

Milne, whom I last saw fail badly against Goldman in the final of the U.S.R.C. championship, played a much better brand of tennis and held his own throughout. There was a period In the final set, after he had obtained the lend at the seventh game when everything pointed to him winning the match, but Gosano recovered in nice slyle.

It was an encounter of fast and Interesting rallies. Both players i served well, drove hard and made ex- tremely clever shots from the Tore- court. Milne was at his best when kitting with a flat racket; his big failing was n chop stroke on the run. Occasionally it scored; more often it found the net.

There was nothing to choone bo- tween the players in their volleying. And nothing in fact, to choose between them in any branch of the game. Gosano wan, perhaps, more stylish, but Milne's extremely fine recoveries: negatived any slight pull Gonano might have had in developing an at- tack.

MANY SERVICES LOST Curiously enough, although they served fast and on the whole accurate ly, service games were lost by the half dozen. Games went against service almost throughout the final set, Gosano finally holding his in the ninth game.

On this form (even though there were times in this match when he fell below his own average) Gosano should reach the last sixteen without further His match with Tennie trouble. Kwok in the third round should be worth watching.
