the most dependable horses at Jeffer-

ter momentary lapse by taking the
Johnny Powers memorial handicap
after a thrilling drive at the fair

Though the Old Town handicap

Americas foremost and most popular
trainers. A handsome silver plate
was given to John McPherson, owner,
until a horse in his colors again sue
ceeds in winning the race.
Marvin May won the Powers
memorial last year in the colors OF
the Mays Lake Farm stable and is
the first double winner of the event
which has been featured since re-
sumption of racing in Louisiana.
On their last meeting Marvin May
was distant trailer behind My Rever

HOPPE TO WELD CUE.
HERE IN SIX MATCHES

Washington billiardists will be
given their annual treat this week
when Willie Hoppe. recrowned king
OF the balkline game. shows his wares
at Sherman's establishment in H
street. Willie, accompanied by R B.
Benjamin. his manager. and his new
"sparring" partner. Tadao Saganuma,
will arrive in Washington tomorrow.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoons and evenings the cham
pion and the Japanese will play 800

Hoppe has participated in few ex-
hibitfons since regaining his crown
from Young Jake Schaefer. Most of
his time is spent at his billiard acad-
emy in New York now that his
regular annual tour is ended. How
ever, he decided to play in a few
more cities and Washington happened
to be one of those SO favored.
Suganuma, who will oppose Hoppe.
Is a. pupil of the balkline king. The
Japanese, a student at New York
University, has developed rapidly
under Hopes tuition and recently
defeated Edgar Appleby, holder of
the. amateur championship. Suga-

CONTROL PLANS BEGUN
BY AMATEUR SHOOTERS

NEW YORK. January 6.-The ANA
teur Sharpshooters of America today
made their first move toward assum-
ing absolute control of the sport
when incorporation papers were
drawn up for a new organization, to
replace the American Trap Shooting
Association, the existing governing
body. The new organization will be
known as the Amateur Trap Shoot
ing Association Of America and will
be. incorporated under the laws of
Delaware.
The .incorporators are George S. Nc
Carthy of Newf1eld, n. j.; Ralph L.
Spots, chairman of the trapshooting
committee of The New York Athletic
Club. and DR.. George H. Martin, a
prominent New York sportsman. AS
soon as the necessary legal steps
have been taken, the amateurs will
assume formal control.
The American Trap Shooting Asso-
citation, which has governed the sport
for years, was sponsored by manufac-
turers of ammunition and trapshoot-
ing accessories.
The purpose of the new organiza-
ton, as stated in the Incorporation
papers. are to promote and govern
trapshooting in the United States,
Canada, the Canal Zone and Bermuda
The new organization, it was pointed
out, is to rest on membership and
not stock-selling basis.

Dempsey can whip any man in
the world today. But could he
whip the cave man of our an
csstry-the RhOdesian man, for
instancef
An ancient fossil skull and part
of a skeleton hRve recently been
found at the Broken Hill mine in
I'm northern RhOdesia, Africa. An
thrOpOIOgists are of the opinion
that these are the oldest known
human remains extant-even old
er than the Heidelberg man, who
lived about 100000 years ago, or
the NeanderthaI man, who rOamed
over Europe in the early palaeO-
IIthic age, when the Mediterranean
sen was a valley and the Sahara
desert a fertile country.
Could our preseRt-day champion,
who is easily the physical master
of any man alive, cope with the
rough and wOOlly- old RhOdesian
babyf
The RhOdesian man - must have
been tough customer to exist at
that period of severe climates and
huge vicious animals. The recon-
struction of the Rhedesian man re-
sembIes somewhat a gorilla i'm ap-
pearance. 1t is safe to assume that
this prlmeval person was as strong
as a gorilla, and the strength of n
gorilla is well known. These huge
apes have tremendous power and
can break the strongest bars of
cages. One frightened hunter, hav-
ing lost his rife, saw gorilla
grasp IT and bend the barrel al
most double with ease.
Imagine Dempsey I'm a ring with
one of our ancestors. 1t is very
doubtful IL Dempsey, with his
science. skill, and intelligence,
could compete with the animal-
like agility. and the gOrilla-fike
strength of the RhOdesiRn man.
Jack wouldn't last a minute.
A left hook ON the chin would
not even make the, lOng-armed,
hairy old boy think. His thick
skull and the huge museles OF his
law and neck would render him
fmperviOus TO any punch ON the
head. and his heavysets muscular
torso, with ir0n-like ribs, would
protect him against Dempsey's
right handlers to the body. And
what would happen to Jack I'm the
clinches9
supposing the old boy lost his
temper!
Dempsey may be the greatest
fighter I'm the world today, but not
Of all tfme.
Ishould say not! .,

HARNESS HORSE DRIVER
HAS WON OVER MILLION

Thomas w. Murphy computes his
winnings in the sulky in the last
fourteen years at $1,0s5, 1925 in
purses and stakes. Only twice-in
1910 and again last year-has he
failed to head the list of successful
drivers at the close of the season.
His achievement in driving trot-
ters and PAGERS to extremely fast rec
ords are perhaps more remarkable
than the amount of money he has
won. OF the five trotters that have
beaten 200 without the aid OF
windshield, two = Peter Manning,
156a4. and Arion Guy, 1.591a-were
driven by him. while Directum 1.
1863; Miss Harris NJ. 1884,; Mar
garet Dillon. 1.5SA: Frank Bogash.
jr., 1891, and Sanaundo. 1.594. attest
his success in developing zoo PAGERS
Horses trained and driven by him
now hold the worlds records for trot-
ers and PAGERS of any age: also the
trotting records for two-year-olds
and four-year- and the pacing
record for three-year-olds.
Murphy's first champion trotter was
Native Belle, whose sensational mile
in 2.07A in 1909 wrested from. Arion
the record for two-year-olds that he
had held eighteen years. Since then
the Poughkeepsie Wizard has driven
every two-year- that lowered the
record-Peter Valo in 2.06A and later
in 2.O41a, and then The Real Lady in
204L. where the record now stands.
The record for three-year-olds has
fallen five times in the last nine years.
and three times with Murphy in the
sulky. while the record for four-year-
olds during the same period has been
lowered from 2.O3A to 1.5912 by
young trotters of Murphy's develop
ment and driving.
II is needless to add that no other
driver in the annals of trotting has
approached his truly wonderful rec
ord. And if il can be said that his
opportunities have been unrivaled it
may be answered that he made them
all.

equipment, except the placing Of a
small metal disc in the top of each
pin, so that the magnets in the car
rier" can take hold of the pin.
The machine Is operated with TWEEN
ty-nine pins, so that while one set is
being bowled another set is in posi-
tion for replacement and the third
set is on it's way to the second posi-
ton. The reason why twenty-nine
pins are used instead of thirty is a
technical one involving an intricate
mechanical problem.
Strangely enough, the difficult part
of the process is not. in lifting the
pins, sweeping them into the pit, or
In returning the ball, but in a revolv-
ing magazine which takes the pins off
an elevator and throws them into po-
sition for resetting..
In picking up and replacing the
pins the machine replaces them, snot
on the spot" but exactly where they
stood. This is something no pin boy
could do. A pin will often be knocked
two or three inches out of position
and. still remain standing. In this
case the machine replaces the pin in
its former position, thus making it's
operations absolutely accurate in
every respect.
Advantages of Device.
Among the bepef1ts claimed by the
inventors Of this machine are the fol-
lowing:
The ball is returned in fifteen Sec
onds as against approximately twenty
to twenty-five seconds where pin boys
are used. The machine permits ten
games per hour as against an average
of seven games using pin boys. One
kilowatt of current is sufficient for
ten games. which costs about one
third of cent per kilowatt. Pin boys
are usually paid s. cents a game for
their work in Chicago alleys.
Another item, of more interest to
bowling alley owners than to bow1ers
is the saving of wear and tear on
pins. The average life of set of
pins is said to be about $500 games
After that much usage the pins be-
come worn like a rundown heel on
your shoe and the bottoms of the pins
have to be machined on to make them
stand firmly. The inventors of this
machine guarantee that a set OF pins
will last 1000 games in the new nia-
chine, due to the. fact that IL, sets
them UP evenly and lightly each time
they are set up. 4- $3.50 !
