The battle, strictly one between

fought before 10000 spectators, who
paid approximately $l75,o0o to
see it.
Loughran obtained the verdict OF

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Wash- ington is preparing for the longest and most brilliant social season in years
 Several events contribute to the unusually early opening of the sea son and it's lengthening into late April. President Hoover's electing to stay in the capital all summer kept many important personagss here who ordinarily would have gone abroad.
 Tho extra session of Congress brought many congressman and their wives here far earlier than usual The visit of Ramsay Mac Donald, prime minister of Eng land, and his daughter Ishbel early in October, will start the social season off in earnest.
 From then on it will be round of dinners, teas, receptions and balls. Easter, the time when so- ciety sheds it's bright garb and goes into eclipse, comes very late-April 20
 And not since jolly William How ard Taft was president has sea- son of such lavish entertaining at the White House been anticipated as this coming first winter under the Hoover regime.
 While the champagne punch of Taft days cannot return, Washing ton : is wondering if the Coolidge spartan diet of ice water for state receptions will rot be supplanted at least by fruit punch.
 The Hoovers have done more en- tertaining in six months, say vet eran social leaders, than the Cool idges did in seven years. If frosted cakes and fruit punch are not an accompaniment to high heels and tail coats this coming winter, the wiseacres will miss their guess.
 The President and Mrs. Hoover have scarcely eaten luncheon or dinner without guests since March IA. They have gone in strong TOT group entertaining. These groups have ranged from cabinet officials and other high dignitaries to news paper men and officers of the Glri Scouts. They have taken large parties with them on their week end trips to the Presidents fishicy camp.
 Meanwhile, for those no more Il terested in official entertainment than in capital festivities in general, vista Of spangled nights stretches ahead glamorous with smart unl- forms, titles and interesting per- sonalities from over the globe. Many of Washington's brilliant
