Uncle Toms Cabin
Still Occupied

According to Earle B.
Combs, Yankee utility out
fielder and pinch hitter, the
original cabin that inspired Har-
riet Beecher Stowe to write her
famous book, "UncIe Toms Cab
in," is still standing, land in a
good state Of preservation. It
is located only ten miles from
Combs home, Richmond, XIV.
The cabin at present is &C.
pied by an elderly but
well to do colored man,
says Combs, who last winter
visited the place and tried to
sell the darby an automobile.
Combs thinks he can land the
modern Uncle Tom as a Gus
toner next year when he re-
turns to his automobile agency
after taking a post graduate
course in manual training in
struction in the East Kentucky
Normal College.

WESTERN CREW
SHOULD REPEAT
e TR|UMP
Washington Oarsmen Seem
to Have Replaced Navy as
''RuIer Of Waves"
BY DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Due and
sufficient warning of parlous times
at Poughkeepsie was served upon
Eastern crews when the University
Of W4shington's championship eight
rowed the California Bears into the
bottom Of their shell recently, TO
win by eight and one-half lengths,
no less. Washington mustered a
semi-veteran crew for the occasion,
and it will be nothing short of a
national miracle if the Westerners
fail to repeat their victory of 1923
at the upper Hudson classic.
Washington seemingly has taken
the collegiate rowing supremacy
away from the Navy and means to
keep it.. TIE Middies ruled the
waves, if ony, from the last Olynl-
pic year at Antwerp until the finish
line at Poughkeepsie in 1923, where
Walling, strokine like a man pos
sessed, drove the Western shell
across the line in front.
1t was the first time the Nays
ascendancy really had been chll-
lenged in four years, although WASH
ington was a cCmmendable second
carried their honors so well that
they were picked as the American
representatives at Antwerp in 1920,
and to all practical purposes the
American Olympic committee might
very we'll be justified in selecting
Washington in toto were it not
for the fact that the Poughkeepsle
regatta is scheduled too late for
A,,swN 1A HI fSOFH
hardly hope to be selected without
first winning the Poughkeepsie race.
There doesn't seem to be any
doubt, however. that washington
is the best eight-oared crew in
America at the present writing. The
great Walling, for example, has
| proved unequal to the matter Oh
stroking the powerful outfit now
boated and has been dropped back
to No. 6. He has given way to
one Ulbrickson, who stroked the
1923 freshman eight. Ulbrickson
must be a moster oarsman 20 uis'
place a man of Walling's caliber.
The eight is very powerful ana
heavy, displacing lit pounds TO the

rowing bow oar and doing it well,
according to all accounts. Spuhn,
who came East with the crew last
year, is passing back the stroke OF

man in the shell, is at No. 5.
The Coast has ever been noted

NAVY WHITEWASHES
PENN STATE BALL TEAM

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April "a
Winning from Penn State by to
0, the Naval Academy put up q
splendid example of baseball. Heis-
ser, who pitched his first full game,
allowed but one safe hit
The midshipmen scored in the
third when, after two hands were
cut, Mckee tripled, and scored
when Fenno drove the ball to Far
relson so hard that he could not
handle it.
The Washington times., 1924-04-24

That knee failed him a year ago
just when he seemed certain Of
landing in the big show and caused
his release to New Haven, in the
Eastern Association. Thanks to
heavy muscles, his legs are stronger
than Bluege's, and, to see the little
fellow running around, one could
never suspect he had ever been
hurt.
Whether Gagnon replaces Prothro
or Peckinpaugh remains to be seen.
Peck is getting away to slow
start, both at bat and in the field.
but his caliber is well known.
He is one of the 1eadiest short
stops playing ball, working excep.
tlOnally well with the fiery Bucky
Harris. The Griffs manager be-
1ieves Peck will shortly hit his
stride and then, hold it through
the season, as all veterans do.
Prothro, however, is covering little
ground and is not hitting hard
enough to make up for it. oppos-
ing teams are laying down hunts
/
everywhere are slow in the spring,
threaten to drive him to the bench.
He lacks speed on the bases In more
ways than one. Yesterday ne was
nipped off second by Heimach,
though hardly six feet from the bag
With Goose Goslin exhibiting his
customary double jointed fielding in
the garden, the entire left side of
the Griffs' defensive line is much
weaker than the right side, where
Judge and Harris are playing higla-
class ball in every way. Harris is
covering acres of ground rs well as
| taking throws from the outfleid on
relays. Bucky is fighting to make
| his team a success, but some of
| the boys are tagging in the rush.
The word has evidently gone
abroad that GOSlin can, be stopped
| with slow balls. Both the AS
and the Yankees tried this method
| more or less successfully with
him. Yesterday Heimach slipped
q slow curve across for the third
called strike on the Goose, MAX
ing him look foolish.
Judge and Rice have slumped in
their hitting, but Bucky Harris
worries little about them knowing
that they are sure 70 come back
with a rush.
George Fisher is hitting the ball
hard, but in poor luck. He was re.
placed yesterday by Carr Smith
! more to break up Heimach than for
| any other reason. Harris says
; Fisher is sure to be savage hitter
as soon as he finds himself, which
won't be long now.
Bryon Specie through his fancy
relief work, is bidding for starter
and may be accommodated before
the Griffmen go back to Washing
ton. The Western Lacquer looked
good against the AS in his one
frame yesterday.

Two Ring Champs on
List Of DevOtees
of Golf

The ancient game of golf
threatens to worm its way as
deeply into boxing as it has into
the ranks of the ball players.
Time was when a boxer--or q
ball player, for that matter
would have taken a sock at any
one accusing him of dallying
with the Scotch pastime. Now
they glory IN it. Benny Leonard
and Johnny Dundee are two.
chamions who take their golf
seriously. Even more startling
is the way boxing managers have
been overcome. Picture Billy
Gibson and Leo Flynn as chasing
the little white pellet. Billy,
they say, is good at II, at that.

Army's Welterweight

Eddie Burnbrook, welterweight
champion Of the army, has one,
of the greatest knockout records
of all time. When Eddie put
away Red Shannon in two rounds
at Fort Bragg one night last
week he registered his forty
ninth Knockout in sixty-two
bouts. That means a knockout
average Of 700. In the thirteen
bouts in which he failed to score
q Knockout Burnbrook won nine
decisions, received two draws,
lost one verdict, and was stopped.
once. AL Norton put Eddie out
at the Velodrome last summer.
Later Burnbrook erased that
black mark by flattening Nor

for thought in that record.

When you go down to the store
some day between no~ and Christ.
mas 70 buy toys fcl the little folks,
there is only a remote chance that
YOU viii carry home any that were
made outside of America.
1t Is not so long ago that most Of
the toys were made in Germany and
millions Of dollars Of American
money went to Europe, when it
should have remained at home to
provide capital for the employment
of American labor.
The war changed all that. It shut
off German imports. and If the
Germans could have transported
their toys ia Americas shores. the
prejudices engendered BY the war
would have made their sale i'm
possible.
Thus the American toy business
was built up. and this year it will
exceed S56,000, 600. which was the
record established in 1928. This
does not include children's carriages,
wagons and sleds made and sold in
America last year, which brought
the total up to more than S90,000,-
GOO.
This is very substantial indus
try that should be supported by
Americans as they come to the sea-
son when games and toys are pur-
chased as gifts. II provides en-
ployment for thousands of men and
women, who in turn spend their
money for other Ameriean-made
products and the produce Of the
farm, which thrives best under the
stimulus of good home market.
