Lacquer Lady Scores. LACQUER LADY, Fadeley’s chestnut mare that at one time raced in the silks of Mrs. Andrew J. Cummings, continued her sensational work that has carried her to nearly a dozen titles this season and won not only the gold cup emblematic of the show championship, but also the reserve championship ribbon in the open Jumping section. Another member of the Fadeley gtring, Hunger Marcher, won the open jumping title by turning in blue rib- bon performances in the touch and out and handy hunter classes and scored third in the open jumping, giving him a total of 12 points to 8 for Lacquer Lady in this particular division. Lacquer Lady took blues in the ladies’ hunters, corinthian and hunter classes to win over George P. Plum- mer’s King Dominant, who placed as reserve champion yesterday after win- ning the first leg on the Gold Cup last year, while she won the open jumping class and was second in the touch and out to place reserve to Hunger Marcher in the open jumping championship section. Still & third member of Fadeley's string, Ullmer, who was taken in by the Fadeley barn a short time ago after a brief career on the race track, registered the other triumph of the Fadeley stables by winning the blue sibbon among the bridle path hacks. Crowd Exceeds 2,000. More than 2,000 people turned out for the charity show, which was held in the ring at Tilden street and Ford- ham road, and witnessed the complete domination of the meet by the Fade- ley horses. R King Dominant managed to win the suitable to become hunters class, while Mrs. William G. Hill and her daughter Margaret won the family class and Vernon G. Owen won the tacky class. Fadeley made no entry in either of the three classes. SADDLE PONIES. 12.2 hands—Won by Patchwork. owned and ridden by Allison jr.: second. Princess. owned by Dr. D.

It is a story that may be read in the eyes of every stray mon- grel that roams the streets, that may be gleaned from the ter- rible toll reaped daily by speed- ing automobiles. It does not need telling here and now. Instead, I shall tell a few of the many tales which illustrate why every home needs a dog. And the heroes of these stories are all dogs that live, or have lived, in this community. They are stories of dogs that go about their daily affairs unconscious of the fact that they are heroes, or that they are shining examples of the truth of a slogan. ONE of the great dog heroes of all times, a dog that ranks with the St. Bernard Barry and the half-fiction, half-fact collie, Lad, immortalized by Albert Payson Terhune, was a little mongrel terrier called Rags. Rags adopted an American solider in France, one Sergt. Donovan, and while Dono- van lived was his inseparable com- panion in both mischief and valor. With a mind keener than that of R.

IN A thickly wooded section of Idyl- wood, Va., there lives an Irish ter- rier. He is the property of Dr. L. M. Lucas. Also the property of Dr. Lucas is a little boy named John. Last year, when the terrier was just a few months old and John was not quite 2 years old, just about analagous ages, puppy and John were playmates |and pals. John was confined to a portable playpen, but puppy frisked in and out as he pleased. One day, overcome by the injustice of his in- voluntary incarceration, John seized his opportunity when mother was | busy and climbed out of his pen. Elated with his freedom and enticed by the rustling woods all around him, John went exploring. Much to his surprise, pup did not follow, but on he went alone. In the meantime the baby terrier, aware that all was not as it should be, was making frantic efforts at windows and door to at- tract Mrs. Lucas’ attention. Finally, annoyed by the puppy’s incessant barking and yelping, she came out to investigate and discovered ‘he empty pen. Her first thought w.s to go toward her neighbor’s, thinking John might have been attracted by the sound of children’s voices there. The trip was fruitless. Examination of roadside and near woods were equally fruitless. All this time_ puppy kept tugging at her. At last, in desperation, she followed the dog’s lead and found her son playing at the very edge of a sharp bluff. SOMEWHERE in Washington lives & man named L. A. Pearson. The very core of Pearson’s pride and affec- tion is a nondescript little yellow and white dog named Grease Ball, and thereby hangs a tale. Several years ago, Pearson was confined to bed with a long and painful fliness. And, as is often the case, his mood as followed day, became a deeper and darker indigo. One day, somebody brought in a little scrap of white fur spotted with tan. Out of the fuzzy ball shone a pair of dark eyes, and a little pink, warm tongue dripped af- fection. It was the first interesting thing that had come along in eons.. Playing with the scrap, which was named Grease Ball, teaching it to mind and to per- form tricks became the most ab- sorbing project for the pain- wracked man. And with his mind occupied by the | cup |dog. the pains gradually were forgot- ten and disappeared. The dog, due to his constant . contact with the man, sharpened his faculties to the point where it might truly be said of him that he understands everything that is sald.

AIR HILL, Md., September 19.— It may or may not be true that an army travels on its stomach, but a steeplechase horse travel$ on his heart, and Frank M. Gould’s What Have You proved it here today in winning the third an- nual Foxcatcher ‘National Cup after surmounting luck that would have shattered the spirit of & less coura- geous jumper. 5 Up against 10 of the top-fight hunt race horses in training today, What Have You wheeled at the post as the starter’s flag went down, yet he came on in the end to win by a head in a desperate stretch battle that could easily have sent a much fresher horse into the sulks. ‘The rangy 8-year-old son of Try- ster was galloping along far back of the fleld for the first mile, when Pete Reid, the Baltimore amateur jockey, finally got him running, but after that he closed up the gap with great sweeping strides, pulled into conten- tion before the race was two-thirds run, took a short breather there, and then slashed out in the final fur- longs to collar Campbell Weir's Sol- dier’s Fate and cinch the $1,500 first money. Proves His Mettle. OLDIER'S FATE has always bee rated as a tough horse to beat on turf, and when the two tied up for the stretch duel few could believe that ‘What Have You would still have enough left to cut down one so for- midable. Nevertheless, the big, game chestnut did the trick and Reid re- deemed himself by the strong ride he put up to help him do it. In third place at the close of the gruelling grind over 22 grand national size barriers was Benjamin Leslie Behr's Baffler, a recent acquisition from the Hitchcock Stable, and fourth went to Mrs. Frank M. Gould's Daniel Soot, one that might have plucked the choice prize had he not gone lame during the running. Eight starters completed the route, a feat which William du Pont, jr, considered sufficiently difficult to merit a prize of $100 each, regard- less of position. One of those that did not turn the trick was Mr. du Pont's own Red Sea, a lightweight | gray that simply could not jump the towering fences, and the other to fall was Mrs. F. Ambros Clark’s John Poindexter. Louis Stoddard, jr., rid- ing his own Black Cock, pulled up in lame, Last to Get Away. FROM the break that set What Have You dead last and Louis Leith’s Consumer on top, the latter always was a strong factor until the turn for home, when he faded to fourth trying to run on three sound legs. Soldiers Fate was also moved into contention early and with Baf- fler and the Poplar Lane Farm's Rooky Shore laid in patient attend- ance of Consumer's hot pace until that one chucked the battle. Then it was Soldiers Fate and Daniel Scot hammer and tongs as the beautifully matched field swept across furlong after furlong of shin- ing green turf. In what amounts to the back stretch of this splendid racing plant, Soldiers Fate worked his way on top and his backers among the 18,000 tense on-lookers began to send up a roar of encouragement. What Have You, meanwhile, was edging nearer the leaders, and as they went to the fence just before the turn for home, came boldly to them. Even the most optimistic of his rooters expected the Kkilling strain of making up so much distance to tell at this crucial point, but they were wrong. What Have You forged forward, looked Soldiers Fate in the eye two fences from home, stepped on top and refused to yield an inch thence to the finish line. Two Are Close-up. BAmm and Daniel Scot were not far behind the first two, but the others were strung out all over the place, staggering home thor- oughly whipped by their part in set- ting a record-breaking pace. The time was 6:15.1, four-fifths of a second less than the previous mark. ‘While the division of the $3,250 in spoils offered by the majn feature was the chief concern of the day, three other well-filled tests ‘added further splendor to a meeting Mr. du Pont hopes will become the Aintree of America. J. C. Brady's Crooning Water won the first of these, of 2 miles over a small brush course, and the others went to Richard K. Mellon’s Tool Box, the best of 11 that went a mile and 7 furlongs over turf, while Mrs. Marion T. Gibson’s Itsaboy copped the closing 7-furlong dash by jumping the gun at the start and never allowing the 17 other starters to get a look in. Ama- teur jockeys had the leg upon every winner of the day. FIRST RACE—Fair Hill Steeplechase: miles over' the small brashcormse: $500 added. ~First. Croonin by J. C.

OW that the first tinge of cold weather has been felt, anglers are making preparations for some of the big rockfish ex- N pected in the Potomac, Patuxent and West Rivers. Another week or two should see these big striped beauties | starting in their Fall feeding spree, and from the size and number of those already caught, this should be | & banner season. They will stay with us long after other species have set out for warmer waters, and will be the main attrac- tion after blues have gone. Some anglers and boatmen believe that this has been a poor season for blues be- cause of the excess of fresh water in the bay, and this should make rock- fishing that much better. Rockfish ascend into fresh ‘water to spawn and are partic- ularly common in brackish bays and rivers where they may be found throughout the year. They hibernate during the Winter season, and the lower Potomac is about the best place for them along the whole Atlantic Coast. There is & definite run into fresh water during the Spring spawning season and again in the Fall, but they can be found at all times in Chesapeake Bay. The usual catch weighs from 1 to 15 pounids, but fish weighing from 25 to 50 pounds are not uncommon. The record for rod and reel is 73 pounds. A Maryland law prohibits the catch- ing of rockfish over 15 pounds because of the amount of spawn carried by such large specimens, but Virginia has no restriction and larger ones are commor in brackish rivers there, especially the Chickahominy. IN SPITE of the commercial and sporting importance of this fish, very little is known concerning its habits. The generally accepted theory is that they spawn in the Spring in the Chesapeake Bay region, and then start a migration northward as far as Connecticut, returning in the Fall. In the past few years they have come more and more under the protection of State game amd fish authorities, and already have begun to increase. A study made by the Connecticut body this Summer shows a tremen- dous increase in the number of 2 and 3 year old fish, which is be- lieved to be a result of the protection afforded them during spawning sea- son by the Maryland and Virginia authorities. This increase has been noted in Chesapeake Bay by commer- cial men and sportsmen, who have caught more pan rock—1 and 2 pound specimens—this season than they had in any previous season. Catches of from 50 to 80 in a few hours by sport fishermen have been not at all uncommon. | Stream contest of last season came from there. ALL. anglers agree that the fisher- | man who hooks a striped bas| with the proper tackle has a run for | his money. For the pan rock caught in the bay during the Summer, this department recommends a fresh-wa- ter steel casting rod and 10-pound silk line. For those who do not care | to use a silk line in salt water—and there is plenty of controversy on this | subject—a three or six threat Cutty- hunk line of good quality is all that is necessary. For the larger specimens around Tall Timbers, Piney Point, Broomes | Island and Sand Gates,.a slightly | heavier rod, drag reel and 9 or 12 thread line is required. When they are hooked they do not spend their time leaping out of the water, trying to shake the hook; rather they hit hard and bring all their strength to bear on the line. If they cannot break the line they try to chafe it on rocks or entangle it in seaweed and kelp. The pan rock are caught trolling with spinners, drones or small spoons. The larger ones are taken still fish- ing with cut bait or a whole peeler crab on a drift line, —— S HORSE SHOW DATES SET Middleburg’'s Annual Event to Open September 30.
