two-yearold he lodged no mans horse,
won all of his II races and earned
$115,234 in purses and stakes. And
here is his history in brief:
Norwich, brown colt by Runnymede-
Hymir, by DR.. Lego, was foaled Feb.
IA, 1919, at the Napa ranch Of A. B.
Spreckles, wealthy Californian who
breeds and races thoroughbreds for
love of the game. His first start was
May 6, 1921. in the Suffolk selling
stakes at Jamaica, five furlongs, in
the Spreckles' colors. He won by
ten lengths at odds of 30 to 1 in
] :CO4-5. His was entered to be sold
for $4,000. He was not run up. Max
Hirsch then offered $4,000 for him and
Trainer G. w. Carroll said, "Sold."
Hirsch didn't like the colts knees
and sold him to Fred Burlew for ST.
800. Burlew was trainer for Benia-
min Block, New York broker, be-
ginner at the racing game Norwich
won the Greenfield selling stakes at
Jamaica May 16 and a purse at Aaue-
duct and Empire City for the B & B
stable.
After Norwich had won another
purse at Empire City, July 20, Sam Hill
dreth of Rancocas stable fame-Har-
ry M. Sinclair, the oil man, is the rest
Of the works-made an offer of some
thing like 100000 for Norwich. Bur-
lew was for selling, said he couldn't
afford to own half a horse as valuable
as Norwich. But Block said "No" to
Hildreth and bought Burlew's half in
terest for $4,000.
The luck of beginners is proverbial
on the turf. Norwich, with Burlew
training, proceeded to win fame and
fortune In short order for Block. The
colt went to Saratoga in August and
made clean sweep for the orange and
jade silks, winning the United States
hotel stakes, $9,075; the Saratoga Spe-
cial, $1O,5O0 and the Hopeful stakes.
$4,000. AT Havre de Grace, Septem-
Der Fl, he picked up the East Shore
handicap, $7,100. At Pimlico. Novem-
Der 8. he won the first running Of the
Pimlico Futurity from a field OF IL.
His share of the money was $40. $50.
He was then retired for the season.

Bill to Prohibit Blocs in Congress

try than combination In restraint 1t
trade"
IF we are to have an agricultural
bloc why not manufacturers bloc, a
consumers bloc, and numerous geo.
graphical blocs?" Mr.. Ansorge asked.
'Then legislation will not follow plat
form pledges, but will be the result Of
dickering and combinations between
various blocs 1t will be a case Of
you vote for this and Wen vote for
that and / shudder to think what will
happen to our representative form Of
democracy"
On the other hand, Senator Capper
said the other day in the senate,
among other things:
"Here, Mr.. President, Is the true
reason why we have group Of men
in congress sometimes called the farm
bloc. Our entire business structure
rests upon the land. The farmer not
only feeds us and clothes US, but Is as
a class our best customer Without
him the railroads would anguish, the
steel industry perish. Unless the
farmer and the farm industry prosper,
no other industry can. This Is the task
these representatives and senators
from. The agricultural states feel they
have cut out for Them"

Hoover May Be Chosen to Disarm China

TERBERT HOOVER, now secre.
i tary OF commerce, may head an
international commission to dis
arm China. China now has the largest
standing army or group of armies in
any nation in the world. The exact
number of troops is not known even
to the minister Of war in Picking, but
1t Is estimated to be between 100000
and 100000.
These troops are under various stu
chums," or provincial military gov
errors, who either are only nominally
under Picking or else are in open de-
fiance of the Chinese government. The
"tuchuns" levy and collect taxes, force
direct contributions from the inhab-
itants, obtain loans from local bank
ers virtually at the point of gun,
print and circulate paper money of
their own making, graft and squeeze
and wage wars as Independent war
lords while Picking looks on in utter
helplessness.
Members of the Chinese delegation
here admit little can be done toward
getting China back on her feet until
these paper tigers" are destroyed.
The most powerful among the "tu-
chuns" do not hesitate to wiring funds
from the Picking government, when
there is any money to wiring, and
openly dictate to the president and his
cabinet.

when allowance Is made for a head,
and 500 newspaper columns-in these
days OF eight-cOlumn newspapers
would mean a total of 621a pages,
about the size of the Sunday edition
of typical metropolitan newspaper.
No longer ago than 1912 Washington
was a sleepy, country village, some
what overgrown and spread over a
considerable territory. Now it is not
only a real city, live and hustling,
but capital comparing favorahly
with the great capitals Of Europe.
Just how the 100000 words are
divided each day among the news
services, correspondents and leased
wires is of interest. The Washington
correspondents total is roughly about
$4,000 words day by wire; the press
associations send another $4,000, for
there are five of these organizations
carrying 5000 to $4,000 words each.
The so leased wire services undout.ed-
ly send more than 100000 words daily,
making total of 100000 words tele-
graphed from Washington daily.
Mail service is probably equally
heavy, and writer's for magazines and
other periodicals who do not deal in
live news probably carry some 100000
words daily.

Only three other two-year-olds have
earned over 100000: His Highness
$1O6,9OO in 1891; Domino, $17O,89O in
1893, and Colin, $131, OO7 in 1907. Had
Norwich been eligible for the Futurity,
he would probably won an additional
$4,000, as he ran away from the Flu
turity winner, Bunting, when they met.
A truly great race horse must have
speed and courage and go distance
These are essentials. Additional fac
tors are health, ability to stand train
ing, intelligence, good behavior and
love Of racing.

he is healthy, sturdy, easy to train.

that he is well-behaved at the post,
a quick breaker, runs well in front
and can come from behind; that he
is game; that he can carry weight ;
that he is equally good in any kind
of going; that he has done everything
that he has been asked to do.
Those arguing against Norwich hold
that in winning his IL races he did
nothing phenomenal; that the two
year-olds of 1921 were second-rate
lot; that the Pimlico Futurity, run
in 1 40 for the mile, was a cheap race
except for the size of the purse; that

for extreme speed than stamina.
