4 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JULY 20, 1930—PART FIVE. Laytonsville Gets Big Horseshoe Event : Blue Larkspur Takes Arlington Stake MONTGOMERY FINALS PART OF GIANT ANNUAL PICNIC Guy Riordan, Modern Woodman Leader, Will Have Charge of County Play-offs on August 14. Falls Church Stars Too Good. finals of the Metropolitan H ORSESHOE pitchers who compete in the Montgomery County District championships, sponsored | by The Star, likely will have a grand old time. play-offs will be one of the leading attractions of the giant| The county picnic held annually at Laytonsville by the Modern Woodmen. Folk to the number of several thousand come from far and near to the Woodmen’s outing and the crowd this year probably will be enhanced considerably by the horseshoe event. The big doings will | be on August 14, a Thursday. Laytonsville itself likely will be keenly interested in the horse- shoe contests. Although this is its first year in the metropolitan tournament, its town champion- ship event has drawn more than 50 pitchers, which is an unusual :Fowmg for a town of its popula- on. Guy Riordan, who is taking a lead- ing part in the promotion of the picnic, also has charge of the horseshoe tournament at Laytonsville, and it is -due to his enterprise that the affair is mvmz a pronounced success. Riordan been named chairman of the county play-offs. THE Montgomery County finals be- yond doubt will be one of the hot- test events of the metropolitan tournament. This county gathered a lion's share of the honors in the 1929 champlonships, and competition within its own confines was ti-ht. It promises to be tighter this time. There are more pitchers and more towns involved, ‘which means that the county play-offs will have more participants. Each town will be represented by its cham- plon and runner-up. J. Fred Imirie, the champion at Bethesda, declares there's an excellent chance of his town furnishing the big fireworks at Laytonsville. Imirie, y'know, has the metropolitan: cham- pion, M. E. Peake, and the Washington champion, Charles A. Fort, in his baili~ wick, and it's not an improbability that both will land in the affair at Laytons- ville. A battle between Peake and Fort with a major title at stake would be & treat to horseshoe fans. OWEVER, should Peake and Fort be the finalists at Bethesda it wouldn't mean necessarily that they would hog the show at Laytonsville. ‘The horseshoe wumnrn:nt bogmed this r in the upper county, and a num- g:: of pitchers have come to light who figure to give worthy battle to the stars about Bethesda, Silver Spring and Rockville, which produced most of Montgomery County’s entries last year. C. HENSON, new chairman at C. Arlington, announces that play will start at 6:30 o'clock next Tuesday on the court at his home. cept entries up to starting time. He will ac- APITOL HEIGHTS, which failed to complete its tournament in time for the Prince Georges County play-offs, and delegated W. R. Carr to represent it at Hyattsville, will have a closely or- ganized affair this time, it is promised. Carr has taken over the chairmanshi in the absence of Thomas J. Luckett, and tomorrow will start organizing. He ‘will have & sizeable tournament. LL quiet on the Falls Church front, which just isn’t natural. This town was a hotbed of horseshoe competi- tion last year, but it seems that a few outstanding players subdued general in- terest. The fleld this year will be small but brilliant, with such performers en- gaged as the Barnes brothers, George Thompson, Ed Henry and Enzer L. Brandon. Some time ago we had a piece about Thompson, in the course of & victorious streak, beating the Northern Virginia champion, Alex Kirchner. The item wasn't altogether accurate. Thompson did give Alex a drubbing in a series of games, but it was last Fall, not this Summer, as stated. Falls Church, by the way, is ambitious to stage the Northern Virginia finals. It already has been awarded the Fair- fax County play-offs. There is no bet- ter court in the metropo;ivf‘n L:ru than George Thompson's, an conven- lently located. ARRY McCARTHY, Rosedale divi- sion champion, took one look at the fleld in the Rosedale Play- ground preliminary and decided the jig was about up for him. He says so, anyway. “I didn't know there were that many horseshoe pitchers in Northeast Wash- ington,” laughed Harry, “and will you !ooAk at tmtwrruy!" youngst Just thrown his “He’s the winner of this tournament,” added McCarthy, “if that sort of pitching.” ‘The horseshoe editor had a notion that Harry’s spoken estimate of himself ‘was due more to modesty than lack of confidence. He didn't figure to get anywhere last year, but turned out to be one of the toughest close shoe tossers in the metropolitan area, seldom being more than a few inches from the peg. McCarthy, who at one time was an expert quoit’ pitcher, has never tried to master the open shoe. With a three- quarter turn what a wow he'd be!

HILE many independent sand- lot clubs are booked for a rest today after a continu- ous grind throughout the season, the card includes many pros- pective hard battles, with a return double-header between Ed Lowery's Union Printers and Brooke Grubb's Silver Spring Giants heading the local attractions. While this double-header is not in the championship series, a good deal of rivalry is manifest between the“Dypos and the Giants, each of which holds a win over the other. The Typos have not been clicking in week day circles, but they have a strong team on Sun- days, as shown by their 13 to 2 victory over the French A. C. last week. ‘The Giants, losers of 4 out of 5 in the series, are hoping to break their losing streak, and a pair of bang-up games loom for the Silver Spring Park. The opener will begin at 2 o'clock. Bill Flester is slated to take his French A. C. down to Richmond, Va., to face the Everett-Waddy Co. aggrega- tion. The Frenchies, who have slumped lately, are expecting to get on the right track again and mean to start on the Waddys. Del Ray will have a choice bit of base ball when the Phoenix A. C. travels to that place to engage the Del Rays. ‘The hosts are determined to avenge an earlier 4 to 3 defeat at the hands of the locals. All Phoenix players are requested to report at the club house at 1:30. Dick Mothershead’s Saks Clothiers, boasting a 16-game winning streak, are scheduled to up_with the Ber- wyn nine at Berwyn. The Saks looked plenty good recently when they took the measure of the Naval Hospital, and will probably be the favorite to beat Berwyn, which has not fared well in Capital City League competition. Carl Dennison’s District Grocery Store tossers are listed to meet Capi- tol Heights at Capitol Heights. Another store nine, Kanns, will at- tempt to annex a game today when they trek to Damascus. ‘The St. Martins, recent losers by nar- oW , have a game with the Army War College nine at the Wash- ington Barracks. ‘The National Circles, with Willle Andrews, who had been seriously il for some time, again at the helm, will travel to Vienna, Va., for a game with the Vienna Firemen. Andrews. long a prominent figure on local sandlots, expects to take the trip with the team. Starting tomorrow, the Police ball tossers will get down to real business in preparation for their annual clash, Sep- zgmher 6, with t.het Hrge:“‘ Amrkdr'lg~ ing energe for. week, the Cops )uveug:g{ed five games for this week, being listed for action every day, *“Their program follows ollows: ‘Tuesday, Diamond Cab Co., Fairlawn field, 2 p.m.: Wednesday, Fort Wash- , Fort Washing ; Thursday, Army Medicos, Walter Reed, 2.30 p.m.; Friday, War College, War College, 4 pm., and Saturday, Seamen Gunners, Seamen Gunners’ field, 2:30: p.m. Sine, clever pitcher, is the only new member of the Police team.

Starting tomorrow, the team will have its headquarters at No. 11 precinct and will drill on Fairlawn field. The for- mer headquarters was No. 1 precinct and the practice field Monument dia- mond No. 1. Sergt. Boyd of No. 13 precinct here- after will assist Lieut. Mike Raedy as manager and coach of the nine. In preparation for their game with Bracey's Drug Store tossers this after- noon, the fast-traveling Lindbergh Boys’ Club nine of Mount fer will prac- tice this morning at 10:30 o’clocl their fleld. The game will be staged on this diamond at 2:30 o’clock. St. Martin's and Army War College es will hook up on the latter’s field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Colored Spanish War Veteran Shines as Horseshoe Twirler HADOWS of last year’s champien- to trim his pal, but is also claiming the ship matches in the colored Met- ropolitan tournament were called back to the Hyattsville courts yesterday by the finesse of two horseshoe pitchers, one a youngster hardly out of his teens, the other a Spanish-American veteran on the threshold of 60. They fought a three- game match that will long be remem- bered. It will be a long time before Hyattsville horseshoe fans will see an- ' | other match so packed with thrills as the one PFranklin Marshall, Hyattsville champion won from Sergt. Angus L. Hayes, former champion of the 25th United States Infantry. Hayes proved a surprise to the Hy- attsville champion. He came un- heralded but was soon recognized as The first match was a thriller, Marshall coming through with a 21-to-19 victory. In the second tilt, Hayes proved his right to wear the emblem of expert shot in the United States Army by keeping the lead with ringer after ringer and romped home with the bacon to the tune of 21 to 12. The deciding game was Marshall's from the start. His ringing habits re- turned and youth again prevailed by an 8-point margin. Hayes was pleased with his showing against the Metro- politan runner-up. He will meet Bay- lor, the colored Metropolitan champion, in a tune-up match Wednesday eve- ning at the Sixth and L playground. ARREN WALKER, Hyattsville chairman, was host to Arthur A. Greene, colored Metropolitan gen- eral chairmen and the fighting Sergt. Hayes. The Hyattsville courts are in dandy shape. Walker expects first round play to start by Thursday evening. He re- ported entries coming in fast and pre- dicts another final between James Marshall. Bruce, a newcomer is be- ing watched by all. ‘W. HYSON, chairman of the Halls - Hill tournament, announces that horseshoe pitching is again flour- ishing, and croquet, Halls Hill's favor- ite pastime, has been laid aside for the twirling_tournament. The rivalry be- tween T. W. Hyson and Charles W. Chinn, local merchant, in last year’s horseshoe pitching is carried over into the 1930 play. Not only is Hyson out local title. Hyson is expecting & larger entry than last year. The following have entered: Maurice Lewis, Archie Bullocks, Rudolph Simmons, Gilbert Moten, William Johnson, Walter Smith, Ben Watson.

The following first round pairing will be played: Leon Gaither vs. Benjamin Conway. Will Jones vs. Henry Crump. Felix Brewer vs. Raymond Jones. ‘Walter Taylor vs. Pathen Taylor. Sam Crump vs. John Jones. Leon Gaither is showing well in the tune-up matches and is expected to wear the Muirkirk crown. HAIRMAN BERNARD HILL, Sandy Spring chairman, writes that the boys are out for the county title. Robert Hill, the local champion, lost the chance last year because of a default, but Hill announces that Robert will carry through this time. First round pairing will be announced later.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER 6« HE approach of the dog days|in I is no sadder to the city dwel- ler than the opening of the purse net season in Chesa- peake Bay to those who chase the finny tribe,” Commissioner Swepson Earle, Maryland conservation commissiener, told his invisible audience last Thurs- day speaking over Station WMAL in Rod and Stream’'s weekly talks to anglers. Mr. Earle pointed out that July 15 was the opening day for purse netters to take the striped bass, blue fish ard other varieties of Chesapeake Bay with their nets. He said, however, there Is always some consolation, and the fact that purse netters cannot go into any tributary waters, including the broad Potomac River, to haul their long seines, will give the anglers of the District of Columbia a better chance in this river. Another step to protect the Potomac from overfishing, Mr. Earle said, was the law passed by the Virginia General Assembly at their last session, to con- form with an act already passed by Maryland to prevent sunken anchored gill nets or float nets to be used in the Potomac, except during the shad and herring season. The Conservation De- partment of Maryland, he said, feels that a forward step was taken to protect the migratory and game fish of Chesa- peake Bay when the Legislature saw fit to pass this lJaw and added that this is only a start in the right direction, and the further co-operation of con- servationists is necessary to save the aquatic resources of the Chesapeake. Verifying reports broadcast by this column last week, the commissioner said just at this time the striped bass and blue fish are being caught by trollers in the Chesapeake, in the Patuxent and off the mouth of the Great Choptank River on the Eastern Shore, and as the season advances there snould be larger schools of both rock and blue fish. Large trout, he said, are also being teken down the Bay weighing up to seven ard eight pounds. ‘The crab season this year is the best in the history of the conservation de- partment Earle said, and will, no doubt, go far ahead of 1929, when over 52,- 368,000 hard crabs were taken from the waters of Maryland by commercial fish- ermen. - The resorts along the Bay this Summer have been crowded with people and the chief sport has been catching crabs, most every car taking home a large supply for family use, he informed his audience. With the arrest of sev- eral W nians crabbing on July 4 at Chesapeake Beach in his mind, the commissioner issued a word of cau- tion for those who crab. He said the laws of Maryland will not permit hard crabs to be taken under 5 inches in length and soft crads under 3% inches from tip of spike to tip of spike. Some arrests have been made by our ward- ens, he said, and the department has placed notices wherever possible to warn the people, in order that they may en- joy the pleasure of crabbing without getting into difficulties with the law. The commissioner in concluding touched on the subject of pollution, which in the opinion of this column is more important than the planting of fish, because if the waters are badly polluted fish can not live and it is a waste of time and money to raise and plant them in such streams. )ROGRESS in conservation work during the last few years has been rapid, but the pollution of our streams is still a problem to be over- come. He said: “Manufacturing con- cerns have been urged to come into our State and establish their plants, and those located on bodies of water have used them as the t means of dis- posing of their waste materials, there- by polluting the waters and destroying fish life. This has caused us and is still causing us great concern, but in co-operation with the State Depart- ment of Health, we have cleaned up & number of water areas and ca: the manufacturing plants to provide suit- able disposal systems. In many cases the waste materials have been re- E]lhned to the profit of the manufac- urer. “We are still confronted with a serous situation in the Potomac River, where a number of plants and even large cities are throwing their waste directly into this great body of water, which means so much to resident of the District of Columbia, and to the States of Maryland and Virginia. The State of Maryland desires your co- o) tion to assist us in remedying lese conditions.” EPORTS reaching us last week from fresh and salt water fishing grounds state that the anglers are being rewarded with fairly good catches Where Horseshoe Lists Are Still Open Here UE to late arrival of a consign- ment of regulation horseshoe tching _equipment, entries have been held open in the follow- ing Washington preliminaries of The Star’s Metropolitan .

In the fresh ‘water streams the water is so low and 50 clear that it is hard to get close enough to the bass to get many strikes, but despite this fact some good catches were reported during the last week. In salt water anglers have been increasing their catches almost every day. From the Eastern Shore comes word that the hardheads are numerous and that schools of blue fish have made their appearance around Heopers Island. Some blues are being caught at Solomons along with trout and hard- heads and this game fighter is also| being hooked around Sharp's Island and in the mouth of the Great Choptank River. B. A. Hammond of Kensington, Md., entering a small-mouth bass he caught fishing Pennyfield, Md., on July 13 in Rod and Stream’s fish contest for July, says: “Elmer Norris, deputy game warden for Maryland; John Palmer and myself were fishing at the rapids above Penny- fleld last Sunday. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon we drifted into * Eddy” and threw out our lines. After about a half hour’s wait, I saw my cork disappear and my reel unwinding at a very rapid rate. Norris said, ‘Look at that run!” I let him have about 35 yards of line when he stopped for an instant and as he started again I hooked him. Then the fun began. My rod bent al- most double and the fish began to jum, out of the water. I kept a tight line, gradually reeling him closer and finally, when he reached the boat, Norris reached down in the water and lifted him in the boat. If thrills come only once in : lifetime, I had mine last Sunday. When we returned to Kensing- ton, we weighed the fish in the presence of witnesses. The scales showed it was a pretty good small-mouth bass for this early in the season.” ‘The weight of this fish was omitted purposely because the fish was entered in our contest. There is, however, plenty of time left in this month to beat the weight of this fish. Cut out our entry blank from Friday's Star each weel: and be sure to enter your largest fish in this contest. Every Waltonian is a conservationist and every :ngler, whether or not a member of the Izaak Walton League, is a conservationist at heart, but oft- |C! times thoughtlessly catches fish he will not keep and instead of returning them to the water throws the small fish in his boat, where they die. These small fish more times than not are left in the boat. The angler: know when they land a fish if they want to keep fit. Personally I have often heard anglers says, “don’t throw any fish back, it is hard luck” CLASS AGAIN SHOWN BY QUESTIONNAIRE NEW YORK, July 19 (#).—Questions naire, rated as the third best 3-year-old of the year, erased all doubt as to his superiority over Gifford A. Cochran’s Flying Heels as he carried the green silks of James Butler to victory in the ‘Yonkers Handicap at Empire City today. One week ago the little son of Sting defeated the pride of the Cochran barn by a neck at a mile and 70 yards. On that occasion Questionnaire had a pull of 6 pounds in weight, but today he was packing only 6 pounds less as he covered the mile and one-sixteenth in 1.47% to conquer Flying Heels by four lengths. Mrs. Payne Whitney’s Comstockery finished two lengths farther back for the short end of the purse. Again it was Workman in the saddle as the chestnut son of Broomstick led his stablemate over the 6 furlongs by a head, with A La Carte, an added starter, third. The stable declared to win with Checkerberry or Mack Garner might have pushed Surf Board home first. As it was, Surf Board finished under tight restraint. Big League BASE BALL The “Bean Ball” BY AL DEMAREE, Former Pitcher, New York Giants. ‘The “bean ball” or “duster” has always been a time-honored practice of pltchers in the major league. While as great a pitcher as Christy Mathewson did not believe in it and never employed it, all of the great managers believe in it and insist eir pitchers use it. “Make 'em respect you,” was the late Pat Moran’s sk . “Don't let ‘em get a ‘toe hold’ at the plate. The batters will knock you out of the park if they can. They have no mercy on the pitcher, so throw at their heads and ‘em down!” The “bean ball” is really a fast ball thrown at or near the batter's head to drive him away from the plate and intimidate him. Pitchers use it when the batters are hitting them too freely and have too much confidence at the plate. ‘While I do not subscribe to this ractice and rarely used it myself, it seems to be a necessary part of the pitching art. Many managers will fine a pitcher if he does not use ;:ol:l"‘m he has the batter in “the pitchers find more success a batter way from the te a fast ball at his shins.

SINGER IS FACING GLEAMING FUTURE Bouts With Berg, Canzoneri| and Chocolate Would Be Big Attractions. BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, July 19.—A golden vista reaches out before Al Singer, new lightweight king. Matches with Jack (Kid) Berg of England and Tony Canzoneri of Brooklyn stand out as big attractions. A little farther in the future stands the ebony figure of Kid Chocolate. A second Singer-Chocolate brawl, with the lightweight title at stake, would draw more money than anything in the cards, with the exception of a heavy- weight championship fight. The Bronx youth and the Cuban flash, with nothing much at stake, were good for almost $200,000 last August. In the interim Singer has taken on the glamor of a champion and Chocolate also has advanced tre- mendously in popular esteem. Berg is first in line for a shot at the title. When the boxing commis- sion sanctioned the Singer-Mandem fracas it was with the understanding that Singer, if he won, would give the Briton a fight before the close of the outdoor season. However, Berg has jeopardized his chances by signing to box Chocolate at the Polo Grounds on August 7. If the Whitechapel whirl- wind is defeated in that match, he forfeits his claim for a crack at Singer. It would be a much better break for Singer for Berg to defeat Chocolate, because it may be a year before Al will be willing to face the Cuban. The champiorf says he will not fight Choco- late until the Keed is a full-fledged lightweight. He does not intend to take on any featherweights. The new champion has not commit- ted himself as to a fight with Can- zoneri. Al and Tony already have boxed once. That was late in the Winter of 1928. The decision was a draw, though most observers thought Canzoneri had the edge. It was Singer's first real test. Considering his inexperience, he did very well to make it close. STABLE PAIR RUNS ONE, TWO IN STAKE By the Assoclated Press. LATONIA, Ky, July 9.—Gallagher and Combs showed a smert pair of 2-year-olds today, when they saddled Back Log and Oswego to finish one, two in the forty-eighth running of the his- toric Harold Stakes at Latonia.

The State for not making a park, the town for not supporting the park idea and the boatmen for not visiting the beautiful Occoquan River and the country sur- rounding it. The channel is well marked, the an- chorage of the best, and the scenery is incomparable. Great Falls is greater in size, but not nearly so interesting, and beautiful. One may anchor within a few hundred yards of the falls, the quaint village to one side, & high, wood- ed hill to the other. A short row brings one to the very foot of the falls, and one may clamber over giant pebbles and through deep cracks for nearly a mile up the ravine, Fantastic shapes may be conjured from the rocks—a hippo, a crocodile, a dinosaur—and a ruin is here of an old mill that is accredited to Washing- ton. In many places the pools are suit- able for wading, and a pleasant hour may be spent watching schools of perch and solitary bass in the crystalline waters. Catching them is another matter. It is to be regretted that quarrymen and road builders are itted to desecrate this wonderland with their miserable trade, dumping their waste materials all but into the creek. With such ruthless spoilage of scenery and beauty in order that roads may be built, we soon shall find ourselves in posses- sion of many fine roads that lead to nowhere. Save the creek! What good a steaming stretch of asphalt, if a dump heap lies at the end? RE you keeping a log? If not (an- other now is the time), begin one now. They're wonderfully pleasant things to have about when mulling over the season's cruising; a reslly well kept log is a treasure. We do not suggest recording every course, every shift of wind, every turn of tide— these things are for the battleship sallor—but we do suggest a record of places visited, of great occasions, of things that become memory treasures. In it one might paste appropriate pho- graphs, visitors' signatures, bits of local lore that one may come across, and in time have a log that will justify a morocco binding. Keep a ship’s log!

Little has come of it except a recommended speed limit that will affect these craft only. Saying it tactfully, the.thought- lessness of some of our cruiser owners is far worse that the deliberate speed- ing of the speed craft. A cruiser under full way creates far more disturbance than a bevy of the former racing. Say- ing it the way most of us feel, stu- pidity and carelessness of these few cruiser owners is a sure guarantee that one's craft will be thrown heavily against wharf or piling every time one of these craft’s owners decides upon a turn about the harbor and that pilot ;uele! :‘nfll t)imu ug common sense will entirely ignored. A great menace is that of stunting, and one that will surely be productive of accidents. The boat owner that in- dulges in such antics should be pro- hibited the river and a fine imposed. At present there seems to be no other method of combating this evil other than that of dousing the malefactor with a bucket of water as he close by, and if dirty dishwater is ob- tainable, so much the better.

'NOW RANKS THIRD AS MONEY VINNER Reveille Boy, American Derby Winner, Challenges, but Finishes Last. By the Assoclated Press RLINGTON PARK, CHI- CAGO, July 19.—Blue Lark- spur, 1929 3-year-old cham- pion of America, galloped to easy victory over a select field of five in the Arlington Cup, with $25,000 added, before 30,000 swel- tering racing fans at Arlington Park today. The brown 4-year-old son of Black Servant-Blossom Time captured _the rich prize by three and one-half lengths, with Petee Wrack second and Toro third. Sun Beau was fourth and the frisky-acting Reveille Boy, surprise winner of the $50,000 American Derby, the only 3-year-old to accept the is- sue, finished fifth. Trailing in last place, the horse that paid $113.08 in the betting on the American -Derby and rewarded his owner, old Johnny Best of Memphis, who was broke at the time, with $49.- 000 for that victory, was nowhere in the race except for a fleeting moment at the start, when he attempted to give Blue Larkspur and Petee Wrack a bat- tle for third place. Equals Gallant Fox's Time, Larkspur ran the mile-and-a- qufll"':‘eer in 2:({; 4-5, a fifth of a second slower than the track record, but the same time in which Gallant Fox won the $70,000 Arlington classic a week ago. gAs a result of his victory, Blue Lark- spur moved into third place among the leading money winners of America for all time. He rewarded his owner, Edward R. Bradley of Lexington, Ky, with $25,200 for the mile-and-a-quar- gallop, bringing his total ‘earnings to $272,070, which ranks him next to Gallant Fox and America’s leading money winner, Zev. Owner Bradley, who bred Blue Larkspur in the blue grass region of Kentucky, was present with a party of friends to watch his cham- plon race to victory. After the race, Owner Bradley was presented with the cup by Louis L. Emmerson, Governor of Tilinois. Six Scared Out. Blue Larkspur, ridden by the old- timer of the saddle, Jimmy Smith, was a heavily-played favorite, and rewarded his backers with $3.52 to win, $2.84 to place and $2.32 to show. Petee Wrack, overlooked in the betting paid the sur- prising place price of $9.62 with $4.16 ;g 5aohow. ‘The show price on Toro was Although Gallant Fox and the West- ern champion, Misstep, were' missing from the list of starters, the presence of Blue Larkspur was sufficient to scare out six others. Snow Flake, Stars and Bars, Victorian, Maya, Gallahad and Paul Runyan were withdrawn after it became apparent to their owners that the track would be fast as lightning and their entrles had only a remote chance of winning. Johnny Best, owner of Reveille Boy, however, thought that his pride and Jjoy with the weight advantage of 12 pounds could conquer Blue Larkspur. Reveille Boy gave evidence that he was ready for the race of his life when he bucked and reared, twisted and turned and finally threw his jeckey, Johnny Leyland, off his back twice before he was let outside the starting gate. By the Associated Press. “Germany has replaced her soldier life with athletic life,” remarked Mur- ray Hulbert, upon his return from the Olympic Congress at Berlin. “Instead of it being an armed camp as prior to 1914, the nation now is & net work of gymnasiums and athletic fields. Berlin has one major fleld of some 80 acres on which athletes from all over Germany train uate. These athletes go to the smaller towns and cities and pass on their en- thusiasm and skill. “The result is that athletics have be- come not only general, but contagious in Germany and the indications are that in the games at Los Angeles in 1932 Germany will carry off many of the chief honors.” ——— By the Associated Press.
