ALL THE NEWS “DEATH TRAP” BARRIER NOW ~—UaED AT SARATOGA TRAGK That Horses and Riders Have Not Been Seriously Injured Instead of! Being Only Put Out of the Running) Is Due Simply to Good Luck. (Qpecial te The Evening World.) @ARATOGA, Aug, 18—The Evening ‘World has on more than one occasion allied the attention of the Jockey Club ‘to the “death trap” harrier which 1s used at all the tracks where Mr, Fitzgerald fe the starter, The writer claime that a starter has a right to use the barrier @at he can do his best work with, but has he a right to use @ barrier which does not work at critical times and . Which catches riders about the throat ‘and yanks them off thelr horses? ‘The barrier used by Mr. Vitagerald files upward and outward, The hooks are released by electricity. He makes athe slart by velling “Come on!” and ‘then springs the barrier, This ls & very bad system, The barrier should de up and out of the way before the word is given. ‘Mr, Cassidy has the correct method In @onnection with his barrier, He cod his horses by bell, but the bell cann ing until the barrier has been perfectly feleased, That (s the particular point ‘@f the story, The bell cannot ring untl ghe starter releases the barrier, and #0 there are not any false breaks, If Mr. Cassidy presses the button for « start ‘and the barpler does not release and *+« bell does not ring no harm can be done, Rak Into Webbing. Mr, Fitagerald calls the horses and presses the button at the same time. Bo {f the barrier does not work, the riders come on at the starter neverthe- Jess, and run plump tnto the webbing, as in the case of Walsh yesterday. It ¢ must be conceded that between the two systems one {is absolutely safe / qnd the other very faulty. ‘Why then should « faulty system be eontinued in use when an absolutely gate one can be used? Why endanger the lives of the riders when there is no excuse for do{ng 60? ‘The sudden catch- FLUNMULA SONS AST ME T0-4 (Special to The Bvening World.) _ GRAVESEND, N.

That such serious consequences have mot been reached in the past is no Guarantee that they will not happen fm the future, Two horees were away badly in the first race yesterday. They were Cas- talion and Collegian. The reason why they were off twenty or thirty lengths behind the others, according to an eye witness at th: was that the wire Which runs across the track from the top of the barrier suvporte sagged Gown and caught the riders of the two horses mentioned around the throat. Ia tt to be expected that good starts can bs made with « faulty barrier in front of whinh the jockeys line up in fear and trembling that the webbing will not o up at the proper time? The Jockey Club ought to Insist that @ perfect barrier be used or that some safety method be attached to the one now in use, This is not only imvera- tive for the safety of the riders, but also for the improvemeht of the start- ing. fi dots not make any difference what barrier ‘¢ used so long as it works per- fectly and is safe, The writer has no mans’ machine to boost and does not want to condemn another mans’ pes contrivance, but there Is no if reason why a faulty barrier continue In use when It can be made safe or others with safety attachments can be substituted. ] —==—- Pastime A, C, Games. ‘The valuable prises to be awarded at the twenty-seventh annual games of the Pastime ing: JUDG al ‘train BEN © in 1.48 1-4, ant font Soe aie ne Ing: Georre ‘Meehan. trainer.
