B—11 Thorson Is First in Excelsior OUTRUNS FINANCE INSTRETCH DRIVE Win at Pimlico Nets Owner Bryson $9,450—Aneroid Finishes Third. By the Associated Press. ALTIMORE, Md, May 8— Calumet Dick stepped in front in the stretch at Pim- lico today to win the historic Dixie Handicap and $9,450 net in prise money for E. K. Bryson, his owner. Jockey J. Wagner brought the 8-year-old son of Gallant Fox-Martha Bnow home a length and a half in front of Mrs. E. Denemark’s Finance, which had led most of the way. Anerold was third and Count Arthur, fourth, in a field of seyen. Although light rains left the' track slightly off, Calumet Dick covered the mile-and-three-sixteenths in just two-fifths of a second short of the track and stake mark held jointly hy Gallant Knight and Dark Hope. Foul Claim Not Upheld. JOCKEY C. ROSENGARTEN, up on Aneroid, reported his mount had been interfered with in the running of the race and claimed a foul. The stewards, however, did not allow his . claim. Calumet Dick paid $8.70 for $2 tickets to win in the mutuels, $4.10 to place and $2.80 to show. Finance was worth $3.60 to place and $2.60 o show, while Aneroid returned $3.50 to show. ‘The winner carried 108 pounds, the lightest weight, since Aneroid, which had been allotted 106, went to the post two and a half pounds over- weight. Finanoe had top weight of 118 pounds. Pimlico Results FIRST RACE—Purse, gids; ¢he Focomoke: 6 ongs. 8. Renick) 22,80 10.30 510 Ma y (Morris) 380 2.90 K (Knapp) 290 $1.000; 3-year- n—Shebane.

Two-year-old home-bred maid- ens strive to break into the win column. TRAVELO gets the nod because of the good effort this youngster turned in here Thurs- day. DARK FLYER is good and may be very close. SECOND RACE—DUNDRILL SKIMALONG, FLYING FEATHERS. In the 2-mile steeplechase, Dun- drillen figures to head home these fair leapers. He is an experienced timber-topper and can handle this fleld. THIRD RACE—ACAUTAW, VITA- SCOPE, BALCONY. ACAUTAW is going in great style now, and this spot seems to be made to order for him. He is our best bet to gallop in front. VITASCOPE can trim the rest. FOURTH RACE—STGQOL PIGEON, PROTEUS, BALMACAN. A crowd of cheap sprinters go to the post. If he can get off the also eligible list, STOOL PIGEON stands a royal chance of bagging the event. The gelding has shown more than any of the rest. FIFTH RACE—ABADDON, HERALDED, BOMAR.

' B: the Associated Press., EW YORK, May 8.—Thorson, S-year-old star of the Buck- ley M. Byer's stable, streaked down the stretch and then held on with unusual gameness to- day to win the thirtieth Excelsior Handicap, closing feature of the suc- ceasful Jamaica racing season. Perfectly rated by Jockey Willie Ray, Thorson moved up resolutely Into contention and won by a half length over Mrs. Payne Whitney's long-striding Memory Book. Whop- per, the favorite at 8 to 5 in the six-horse fleld, flnllhed third, Whopper Poorly Ridden. HORSON, carrying the feathery import of 107 pounds as against 116 for Memory Book and 127 for ‘Whopper, ran the mile and a sixteenth over a lightning fast strip in 1:434, and paid off at 5 to 1. Whopper, given a faulty ride by Jockey J. Gilbert, seemed too anxious to get off fast. He opened daylight between himself and his rivals, but faltered as Thorson and Memory Book caught and passed him. Memory Book, well ridden by Eddie Arcaro, was overhauling Thorson at the finish. The victory was worth $6,950 to Thorson’s owner. Inhale’s Victory Thrills, THE crowd of 15,000 spectators, who braved a threat of rain to watch the closing card, was thrilled as Inhale ran off with the Rosedale Stakes for 2-year-old fillies. The fleet bay daughter of the Porter, which has finished out of the money but once in seven starts, dazzled her field and equalled the 5-furlong track record of 5835 seconds. Inhale, owned by John Hay Whit- ney, ran the race like the 1-3 fav- orite she was. She made every post & winning one and won by six lengths over J. M. Roebling’s Invoke, which, in turn, led Fooled to the wire by seven lengths. Jamaica Results By the Associated Press.

Washington Social Chess Divan. PEN for chess play, the Wash- ington Social Chess Divan is the finest place in the Dis- trict for indulgence in “the game of kings, the king of games.” The divan is an outgrowth of a local movement launched last Oc- tober to provide for chess fans a centrally located club where one may come and enjoy the very best in chess facilities at the least cost. . The Metropolitan Chess Associa- ton sponsored the idea for a wide- open “District Chess Club” for clubs and member players. The chess de- partment of The Evening Star has promoted the plan. Unit clubs in the District have contributed their support. But all in all the Social Chess Divan resulted from the ac- tive belligerency of several chess nuts who never learned the meaning of “can’t.” Many donated cash sums at the beginning to publicize the divan idea by card and by personal letters to chess players residing in the vicinity of the Nation's Capital. On March 1 the divan opened its temporary quarters at 1625 Connec- lcut avenue. Within the brief space of one month the monthly member- ship swelled from a handful of 40- odd to 109 ardent supporters. Instructional lectures were featured, intradivan tourneys were initiated and arrangements made to accommodate District title tournaments. An Easter dance was the surprise of the month, and sophisticated Washington realized that chess had its public social aspects. Need for a permanent location— 8 downtown location easily accessible by car or bus to all sections of the | city—was obvious. So the Connecticut avenue divan closed its doors for- the month of April, shifted its meetings to Sholl's Cafe and made plans to open on a more substantial and independent basis by May 1. Social Divan at Parkside Hotel. T FIRST the proper location was 8 problem. Many rental agents | tendered suggestions. Finally the members began to size up the situa- tion very carefully and possibilities were explored by the divan officers | and chess director. Satisfactory arrangements were | reached with the Parkside Hotel for | renovation of the ground-floor space | adjoining the main lobby and con- verting it into an attractive club. So the divan, or “room of state,” or “council chamber,” for organized chess-play is now an established fact. The words—Washington Social Chess Divan—apply to the entire active member players. The words—Sociai Chess Lounge— apply only to the game room itself, with its modern playing facilities, which are available to both active members, visiting players or clubs, casual players or “drop-ins” who like an occasional fling at chess, and itinerant chess fans who are in and out of Washington from time to time, o|yet relish a place where they may | :)".‘VE friendly chess matches without | 8ssuming a quarterly or annual mem- bership burden. The Social Chess Lounge and its facilities may be used by any lady or gentleman player for the small daily cover charge of 25 cents. Visitors may come and play at wiil, Membership in the Downtown Wash- ington Social Chess Divan includes use of the Social Chess Lounge and its facilities, circulation library, in- structional lectures and educational exhibits. Members have carte blanche privileges to everything, may compete for the divan championship if they choose and may use the game facilities | morning, afternoon and night. Fees for official membership cards | are $10 per vear, $3 per quarter or | $1.25 monthly. You may take out any membership you prefer. But the annual membership or quarterly mem- membership as a club for clubs and | in the Washington Social Chess Divan | bership Is a material saving for the | dyed-in-the-wool enthusiast. Modern Equipment Installed. with diagram; red, white, green, black and natural chessmen; current magazines from Europe, Australia and South America; American chess pub- lications and the latest chess books | are present for the entertainment of | either visitor, player or active member.

Kurtsinger, as he had done once | on the back stretch, simply gave War Admiral & tap or two with his whip, seemingly by way of a reminder to| his mount that they still had a little important business to attend to. Pom- poon cut down a-length from War quarter pole, but the winner had the situation fully under control. Scattered behind the one-two horses was one of the most decisively beaten flelds in Derby annals. Reaping Re- ward, the hope of Mrs. Mars' stable and highly regarded by most experts, was the biggest disappointment. The Sickle colt, after moving up on the last turn, simply didn’t have the speed to match either of the front runners. Trailing Pompoon by eight lengths, Reaping Reward was three lengths in front of Melodist, the gray colt that sprang into prominence by capturing the Wood Memorial from Pompoon Just a week ago. Melodist, in turn, was a length in front of tne Sande- trained Sceneshifter, owned by Max- well Howard. Heelfly, carrying the colors of the noted Waggoner Brothers of Texas, finished sixth, 2 lengths behind Sceneshifter, after showing plenty of early foot, but weakening under the fast pace in the stretch. Reaping Re- ward’s stablemate, Military, never was a factor and wound up in fifteenth place. The famous colors of Col. E. R. Bradley, whose thoroughbreds have won more Derbies than those of any other owner, four, finished twentieth and absolutely last as Billionaire “folded” in the stretch The Bradley Stable hasn't been in the money since Pimlico Races April 29 to May 15, Inc.
