LD Lord Culpeper would have whirled in his grave like an electric fan had he seen what they were doing under the banner of his name down at Culpeper, | Culpeper County, Va., last week. Not that his lordship could have objected to the presentation of a| horse show tagged with his monniker, nor could he have found fault with | the performers therein, inasmuch as Mrs. Whitney, Dr. Allen, the Col- | berts, Manley Carter, Jim Andrews and Mrs. Lee sent the cream of the | Virginia crop into the charmed circle. | Doubtless, however, he would not have been too pleased with the races that were tagged onto the end of each day's showing. He would not have been amused, we say, unless he possessed that fine old Roman sensa- | 0 it huma which put the boys in hys- terics when the lions really snipped | off a good mouthful of Christian. And out of native courtesy, what- | ever his past experience with that | antic art known as press relations, | he doubtless would not have made | several news writers fight gate men for the privilege of giving the show some free publicity. ‘ We have watched Culpeper races | for three seasons now, and each year | they have been worse than the last. People run lame horses in them or horses so unsound that they are able to walk to the post evenly, but are bound to come out of the race limp- ing. The only rule for jockeys is that they must bury their own dead. | This year on the first day a kid | from Baltimore, who wanted that $5 badly enough to risk his neck for it, was ridden into the rail and his leg broken. They tossed him in an am- bulance that night and sent him back to his home. Thus the State of Vir- ginia did not have to pay for his hos- pitalization. | In the steeplechase that day, one | jockey was so woozy he fell off his horse twice, once before and again during the race. IN THE second day dashes a boy lost an iron off his saddle and began leaning over on the horse next him for support.

As a mat- | ter of fact, she said she would have preferred the overland course. | In the opinion of every competent horseman we ever have polled on the subject, all but a few hunter classes in promptly started plying his whip on | \ the other lad Again, in the finish of the agricul- tural race. for which the Warrenton | Hunt had presented a handsome | trophy. two colored boys were bump- ing one another all over the track, ! grabbing leather on each other's horse. One of them even tried to pull himself to the fore by hanging | on to the seat of the other’s trousers. Now a scene like that is unde- niably funny. There is also an un- questioned thrill in watching horses weave back and forth in front of one| another going into a brush jump.| That such sport improves the breed, or is even humane, we doubt very| much. If racing stewards are not going to stop boys from trying to kill one another for $5, why not revive the gladiatorial arena?

O'MAHONEY IRKED, FLATTENS INDIAN Wolf, Slams Him Often for Speedy Fall. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, July 9—It's bad business, getting an Irish- man’'s dander up. Chief Little Wolf of Trini- dad, Colo., tried it last night with Danno O'Mahoney of Ireland, who claims the world heavyweight wrest- ling championship, and found himself bouncing on the ring floor like a rub- ber ball. O'Mahoney, weighing 234, which was 24 pounds more than the Indian, was willing to make a nice little party out of it until the Chief em- ployed some tactics that might be termed foul. He gouged. pinched, slugged and scratched. He used his elbows and he howled blocd-curdling howls. And he got the Irishman's dander up.

Our reports from the bass fishermen are few and far between, but one angler—Georze Miller of The Star—using the opening day for his piscatorial venture, landed 12 of these bronze gemesters fishing in the Shenandoah around Riverton, Va. He returned to the water all but four weighing in the neighborhood of 21, pounds each. | He reports that owing to the muddy condition of this stream for the last | several years, there being just a few fishing days during the entire period, | the water is full of small-mouth bass. The Shenandoah is a little cloudy today and the Potomac muddy, and again, history is repeating itself. Anglers are, indeed, lucky when they | get a break in fresh water streams hereabout. They have to contend | with mud in these streams and the| wind in broad open areas. { sl | AST Friday, Saturday and Sunday Chesapeake Bay was covered with white caps. Sunday a strong wind from the Southeast kicked up a heavy sea. but despite this condition many good catches were reported, very large hard- nead being landed on the Gooses Four local anglers, Randolph Routte, | Walter Garner, Freddy Cole and Si Perkins, made & trip to the Gooses When they arrived at Capt. Woodward’s place at Kenwood Beach, they were advised by him not to go out until late in the afternoon; that it would be only a waste of time. While waiting to make their start a boat returned with large numbers of big hardhead and this was too much for these anglers. They immediately started across the Bay to the familiar fishing grounds. Arriving on the Gooses at 4:30, after riding big waves in the steam- boat channel, all lines soon were in the water. Not a strike was had for the first hour and according to Per- kins all wanted to move, but their captain advised them to remain. *You will start to catch fish at 6 o'clock, not before,” he told them, so they patiently waited. At 5:55 they got their first strike. and from then until they stopped fishing had the time of their lives,' | 1anding the largest hardhead they had ever seen. “The only reason we stopped fish- ing was not because we ran out of bait, but because we ran out of hooks. The big fish broke all our No. 19s. The fish were biting just as well when we stopped as when they started to strike,” Perkins told us. “Honestly I have never seen such big ‘horses’ At first we thought our hooks were being cut off by the blues, but as not a blue was landed we decided our strikes were from the biggest dog-gone hard- head that ever traveled the bay waters. All our catch ran from hard- head weighing 2'2 to 4 pounds, and some of them even larger,” Perkins said. THIS angler also reports that Sat- urday night about 10 o'clock a party returned from the Gooses with 50 many hardhead that they left 200 year. of them on the boat. This sounds al- 'OU may have thought the penul- timate in boys' long tennis matches was played Sunday, when Harry March was elim- inated in a 22-game set at Prederick, but, of course, you couldn’t foresee what Charley Channing was to do yesterday.

They said they were waiting for the blues and sea trout to come up the bay. “Then we will give you a good report,” | one of them told us. ‘They went out from Kenwood Beach in one of Capt. Woodward's boats. E. A. Baker, one of the staff photog- raphers of The Star, who is spending his vacation at North Beach, informs us that plenty of hardhead are being landed in that vicinity. He reports that one party of five anglers landed 125. all good size, in a comparatively short time. Baker also said the water has been rough the last three days. | " HERE are some anglers who are not | content to land hardhead, but want to try their luck with gamier denizens of the deep.

Close behind Rippy came a me- chanic’s helper at the Navy Yard, a beer barrel slinger, a high school lad. a poultry salesman, another prep schoolboy and a flock of assorted fellows who haven't yet attained the comparative afluence which goes with | country club membership. Rippy was a decided favorite to top the field in the closing twin rounds today, & stunt which will give him (f he does it) a leg on the Leoffler trophy and the captaincy of the local team of four to go to Indianapolis to play in the natiopal tourney late this month. But right on his heels were Bobby Burton, the bespeckled me- chanic from the Navy Yard. and red- thatched George Malloy, the beer man. Rippy scored 75-68 for a 36-hole total of 143 yesterday at Rock Creek Park. But Burton and Malloy were only a shot away. Burton also scored | | a 68, following a first round 76, while Malloy put together consistent rounds of 73 and 71.

The first lethal blow of the day was struck by James Foxx, the Margate mauler, most con- fident of all the current home run kings.

Gooty Gomez, the odd Castilian, was | hot as a flame for three innings, re- | tiring nine men in a row after Martin opened the can with his single in the first—but vengeance and the homicide | squad caught up with Gomez when | Vaughan doubled and Terry singled in | the fourth round—one run crossed the | plate and Mel Harder, last year's win- ning pitcher, began to warm up. Foxx did the second of his specialty | numbers in the same fourth inning, striking out with great ease and pres- ence of mind—Bob Johnson rounded out the brother act by doing the same, but Schumacher's chance for an in- Ining of 100 per cent whitewash was spoiled when Simmons scratched out an infield single—Joey Vosmik fetched a yell from the loges with a single in | the fifth and another yell as he crossed the pan on Foxx's second hit. For the hometown crowd this | game was Vosmik vs. the Na- tional League. To sum up the drab, well-played | contest: Gomez was the winning pitcher and deserved to be: Foxx sup- | plied the winning punch with two hits and three runs batted in; the American League used 13 players, the National 18. ‘ \ Bob Johnson, the American League’s leading hitter, went hitless and struck out three times in a row, distributing his favors to Schumacher twice and Dean once.
