Macaroni started his racing career in 1034 and won the Black Rock stakes and the Big Wave Bay Handicap. Last year he annexed the Canton Handicap, the Lead Mine Handicap, the Tweed Island Bay Handicap_and the Nathan Handicap, as well as twice running second and once third.

His only success this season, apart from being placed several times during the annual meeting, was in the All Out Stakes, which, as pre- viously indicated, he was made to concede to Mistake Bay,

Macaroni's earnings in stuke money amounted to $0,775, the

Buy a tin of Three Threes, take out the cigarettes, bunch them lightly in your hand, and look carefully at the ends, noting the colour of the tobacco. You will see that the tobacco of Three Threes is a beautiful light golden colour-that unmistak- able shade which means that the tobacco has been picked at the peak of its perfection, from the finest of the crops.

A United States Union was formed, but it. was not able to function suc

cessfully owing to the practice of unlimited replacement adhered to by the universities of Northern Calf- fornia.

Thus, as in the gridiron game, ar many as 30 might play for a side in one match. Advice has now been re- ceived In Sydney that Northern Call fornia hins agreed to conform to the English rules, and the United States Union will begin to function as a con- trolling and affiliated body.

The way is now open for a tour of Australia, but it is felt that the game should first become more_firmly established in America. Mr. T. Ste- wart, president of the Vancouver All Blacks, who is at present in Sydney, is anxious that the 1939-40 Austra- Jian team should visit America on its return from England.

RUGBY UNION IN SYMPATHY

WITH DOMINIONS VIEWS

DISPENSATIONS

The granting to Australia and New Zealand of the touch-kicking | dispensation shows that the Rugby Football Unian, the controlling body in England, in much more sympathetic towards Dominion views than in generally supposed. The R.F.U. went out of its way toi secure this particular concession, and generally has shown itself. undeserv ing of the criticism sometimes level- led at it for autocratle control.

England is, in fact, willing to try: several innovations, but has been checked by Scotland. Ireland and Wales-the reverse of what might have been expected.

When the touch.kicking-dispanza- tion was granted from 1922 to 1933, the R.F.U. was an independent body, of which New South Wales was an Afiliated unit. Then

the R.F.U. agreed to abide by the laws of the International Beard, which included

Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and it- self became a unit of that body. It was compelled, therefore, to with-i draw the dispensation

The matter was again raised by the Now South Wales delegates, Messrs. Hill and Hollen, at the Imperial Rugby Conference at the end of last year.

Conservative England, it has now been revealed, was actually willing that the touch-kicking amendment should be tried out in the home coun- tries for two years. Scotland, Ire- land, Wales

South Africa objected.

Notwithstanding this rebuff, Eng- land then sought dispensation from Australia and New Zealand. Still the others would not budge to the point of giving official sanction, but in- timated that the decision could rest with the R..Uand the other unions would formally acknowledge receipt of any notification on the subject, without actually giving sancilor. The R.F.U. advised New South Wales at the end of inst week of its favour- able decision, giving further proof of its sympathy.

The attitude of England many bo gauged from the fact that the R.F.U. also was willing to adopt the New Zealand suggestion of amended scor- Ing, providing for two points for a goal from a mark and three points for a feld goal. Again Scotland, Ireland and Wales objected, but the report of Messrs. Holden and H shows that the matter will not rest there, and the scoring system will be reviewed following expression of opinions of clubs and players. Leader of the "radicals" WAS Mr. James Baxter,, manager of the 1930 British tourists, who, it was thought, would have been the greatest stickler for tradition.

Ban Eastman, former Sinnward and Olympics distance runner, easily won his first race of the year, running for the San Francisco Olymple Club in a most with the University of California at Berkeley. Here he is winning the 580 in 1:55,4 with Braca of California yardı behind in second placs. "The Olympic Club won the ment 75% to 55.
