But while the top weights must beYeearded as the "horses to beat." j none of the entrants can safely be ruled out of contention In a Grand National' The hazards of the stiffly fenced course, the distance, the "breaks" that are necessary for a horse running in a big field, combine to make the Grand National the most uncertain of all sporting events. There is a long list of entrants on the low "weight bracket 147 to 150 pounds. So many of these newcomers are started in the hope that hick - will give them victory over better but less fortunate CRIBBAGE BASKETBALL ENDS EVEN LAST NIGHT Station and Car Shops to Play Off Merchants Still in Running For In-For Second Half Honors termedlate Honors Japanese .

Auditorium, Friday, March 18, 1932 Time: 8 p.m. Adults, 50c; Children, 25c Sport NOTES steeplechasers that agitation Is heard for even stricter restrictions on the entry. The suggestion Is made that the Inferior horses be weeded out and given a race of their own, with the Grand National proper limited to the better-class horses. The greatest event of its kind In great sporting holidays. Hundreds of thousands of people, thousands 'Of them from overseas, are tnrong ing to Liverpool for the race. When t was first run In 1839 It was an jnpretentious affair, but then, so .vas the first Derby. Run over four niles and 856 yards of the mos difficult steeplechasing country in he world. It provides the hardest jf all tests for the "leppers." And shen the turf expert bemoans the fact that high class horses have frequently suffered defeat at the heels of "cheap" horses. It can be replied that no really poor horse could ever get the Alntree course. The course makes the race, and jvery year without fail come :r tests against the danger to horse and rider. But It has no terrors for ourageous riders, and owners 'who pay $500 to run a horse which at first glance hasn't a chance have the record of long-shot winners to encourage them. The only safe prediction that can be made of the 1932 Grand National, as of its long list of predecessors, is that the outcome cannot be guessed. All games were close in the-basketball series played at Auditorium ,last night. The senior game was a tightly contested match with the C. N. R. A. defeating the Sens of Canada, 21-20. The intermediates put up another close .game in which the Merchants defeated the Tuxis 23-20. This gives the Merchant a chance to tie with the High School for second half honors. The girls' game was better than usual. The Cardinals put up more of a fight but lost the game in the last few minutes to the Amazons, 12-10. In the Junior tussle the Japanese Students outclassed the Rovers 15-11 and this gives them the edge on the second half honors of the Junior League. Individual scoring: Senior League C. N. It.
