SOCIAL SIDE OF
WASHINGTON LIFE
IS RIDICULED
I ~. Latest MaNN

WASHINGTON. ~ Represents
tive Martin Dies OF Texas gave the
house 4 few hearty laughs at the eX
rt>nSp OF the pretensions Of Washing
toms otfCiald0m and society.
Il am sorry for the secretary OF
labor who wanted a Seven-pa sSenger
touring car and a $500 electric" he
said We set quite a pace In this
eNtravagant capital. but when a cab
met officer buys an automobile out Of
his contingent fund. why cant the
fish commissioner or any other gov.
eminent official DO the same thing?
"Many Of these officials in Wash
lngtUn seem TO have the limousine
habit with the Ford salary, and then
they MUST come to Congress for more
money or purchase machines out of
the contingent fund in defiance of law.
And then you go down the scale and
you find the man with the Ford habit
and the wheelbarrow salary. and he
wants the government to pension him
so that he may be eXtraYagaRt,
1t wouldn't hurt II the secretary
of labor should walk down the
streets Of WashingtOn$ And that re-
minds me that recently the secretary
of state found out he could not live
on $1,000 a month. Somebody has
made the base of living so high In
this capital of the republic that one
of our servants. the great Commoner
can not live in betting stvle on $12..
600 a year. 1t is a good time for the
representatives Of the people In this
capital to set an example of old.time
simplicity and Democracy.
The bill for creating vice-admfrals
is to determine a matter of social
precedence; 1t is for the. purpose OF
getting our admirals to the punch
bowl first. 1t is to keep our rear
admirals from having to stand behind
the admirals of Paraguay. OF Santo
Domingo or Hayti. or seme other
power, when tea Is being served.

HANDICAPPED OF RACE HORSES
MUST BEEXPERT IN HIS LINE

/ races usually produce. Hence the
handicap becomes the only means of
eQualizing horses and insuring better
contests"
Science in Handicappine.
AS Mr.. Vosburg asserts, there is
much more science in tandicapping
than taking cold and absolute results
as basis. Frequently. It is said that
horse wins easily because he is two
or three lengths in advance of his
nearest opponent. It is only upon rare
occasions that such is the case. AS
long as a rider is what is'termed hand
riding horse, it is almost positive
that the horse IS fully extended. To
win a race easily a jockey must be
riding without practically the least eff
fort or in any way urging his mount
to its utmost. Many times horse is
out to the last ounce, yet wins by
half dozen lengths. 1t is the knowl-
edge Handicapped possesses on such
matters that makes him competent
It is question of close observation of
a race and noting every incident that
occurs during its running that gives a
line on what weights to assign the
next time the same horses meet
Because one horse beats another
three lengths at the finish of race it
is no reason why FIVE or six pounds
should be taken off the beaten horse
the next time they meet Something
may have happened during the race to
cause the defeat by such margin or
the beaten horse may not have been
quite keyed I'D to his best condition
Then the distance of a race has much
TO do with the adjustment of weights
Some horses can run a mile with
stake horses, vet when asked to go
mile and a quarter have been beaten
bv selling pIaters
Many Thinqs to Consider
AS Mr.. VOsburg says, there are many
things to consider in adjusting weights
on horses in handicaps. the first
thought being the class of entries, and
then to figure which is entitled to the
premier position Of top weight. There
have been handicaDs in which none
but the CHEAPER class Of handiCaD
horses have been entered. where it
was suicidal to put 1876 pounds on
HOrSe. yet it was absolute and accord
ing to the rule to do so. There are
manv horses that deteriorate decided
~ when overloaded with weight, while
others handle weight without much
effort.

showing in Australia, made the same
mistake that many others have made
of entering into a contest Ton his re-
turrf) without being in proper condi-
ton. Pal was suffering from a severe
cold and bad ear, but he insisted
upon going into the contest in spite Of
the advice of his manager and doctor.
The result was that Pal did not do
himself justice, although from all &C
counts he easily held his own and
carried the fight to Tillman through
cut the battle. In the fourth round
brown landed a body blow that near
ly ended the encounter, but Johnny
pulled through and assumed the defen-
sive. 1t is likely the two boys will
get together again after Pal gets over
his cold. He has gone to his home
On the iron range to try to get into
proper condition, and will then be
ready for all lightweights. He still
has backing for a 20-rCund battle
against Willie Richie or any one in
the world at 1873 pounds.

100000 spent
BY THE MAJORS
TO Fight FEDS

1t has already cost organized base
ball in the heighborhood of 100000
to 4aEael the attacks of the Federals.
And Still the o. BIS insist that there
amt no such thing" as a Federal
league. They must have been spend
ing this money just because they did
not have anything else to do with it,
like the philanthropists they are.
This money has been spent in boost
Ing salaries. The stimulus has been
so great in this respect that it will
lie several seasons before salaries be-
come normal again, even II. the Fed
erals fall to get by IN their efforts to
horn in" on the preserves of the Ma
tional and American leagues. Most OF
the players who have signed with or
ganized baseball at increased stipends
have insisted upon at least twO-year
contract Some of them have been
successful in signing for longer
To some it might appear that this
is not good business. The Federals
have said that they intend to pursue
the policy established this winter in
bidding for players next Tinter. For
this reason iteappears that the players
would rather not be bound by con-
tract so that they might entertain pro
pcsals from the outlaws.
Playing It Safe.
But the players look at it in this
way. They have no assurances that
the Federals are going to last out the
year. If the independents fail ball
players realize that those who have
been signed for one year at greatly
increased wages will have to stand
for cut. And while the Feds" may
pull through with flying colors and
continue to live, and may even be,
come more powerful than they now
are, the players are playing the game
safe. They want to make sure of get
ting big money" for the next several
years without having to depend en-
tirely upon the tickle fortunes of a
baseball war that may or may not
last
The Federal league has been a great
thing for the players. 1t has enhanced
their value more than % per cent
since its inception. but if it goes
broke there's going to be some tall
salary cutting by the club owners at
the first opportunity
They like to meet the demands Of
the PLAYERS lust about as much AS they
would like to Jump off the WoolwOrth
building, At this time. of course there
Is nothing else for them to do. If q
player is star and unsigned it's a
cinCh the Feds are gOing to bid for
him, and the old employer must either
better the raise or meet it at least.
Since the Feds have been talking in
the thousands this has meant quite a
deal to organized baseball.
Two hundred thousand dollars is a
conservative estimate of what tho club
owners have spent in increased sal
aries.

W. S. Vosburg, who has filled the
office of Handicapped for many years
en- the Jockey Club and other tracks,
las contributed very intelligent ar
ticle to the columns of the Thorough
bred Record, on the subject of "Handi-
Gaping" A few excerpts will no doubt
prove interesting to Star-Bulletin read
ers:
Our American racing public has
been badly educated as regards racing
generally and in no respect more so
than in candicap knowledge. Race
goers seem to be possessed with the
idea that the topweight alone has
any right to win," says Mr. Vosburg.
We all know the intent of a handi-
cap is to SO -equalize the horses by
means of weights that the poorest
racer has an equal chance with the
lest. But if a lightweighted horse
wins the public rather resents his sue
cess, and then it is suddenly discov-
cred that he was thrown in pitch
forked' and other expressions of i'll
temper Of course this is because
they have not backed him-yOu never
hear complaints except from losers
end this illustrates the fact that the
interests of racing and betting are
rot always identical.
Horses Not Machines.
Moreover. the Americar-idea of
kandiCapping seems based on the as
sumption that racing is an eXadt sci
enee-which it is not We have read
articles on handicapping in which so
many pounds are allowed for so many
lengths, half lengths or heads. If
this were true, it would only need a
mathematician to make the weights
be need never have seen a race or
racehorse. AS matter of fact.
length may mean one pound or II
pOunds-it depends on how the horses
finish. We often read in reports Of
races that horse won easily when.
In fact. not one race in 10 is won
easily. The natural tendency is to
eXaggerate, to eXaft the winner. He
may be all out at the tinish but he
is recorded as having won easily, and
this causes many who credit such re-
ports to lose their money the next
time such horses start
There are people who affect to
sheer al handicaps and clamor for
eight-fOr-age races. But it is impos-
sible to interest the public in one
sided races such as weight-for-age
