"UNK" PROVIDED MANY
HORSE SHOW ENTRANTS

The sister of that famous literary
man Anonymous, who has written
so many poems and epigrams, was
discovered, so the story goes, at the
recent National Capital Horse Show.
A much perturbed lady came to
the officers of the show and said 1t
was evident that some sharp prac-
tice was going on. In looking over
the program she had discovered that
no less than 10 entrants whose birth
covered stretch of only three years
were reported to have had various
sires, but the same dam. Ten fosls
in three years, the lady Indignantly
declared, were too many. Such a
progeny was impossible. The dam,
she said, was INK.
1t was explained to her gently that
"Unk." stood for unknown.

HALF-BROTHER OF DERBY
VICTOR FAILS DISMALLY

CHICAGO, May 81 P).-Clyde Van
Dusen, victor in the Kentucky Derby,
would have no cause for pride in the
performance of one of his half-brothers
had he been at the Aurora race track
yesterday.
Flagship, sired by Man o. War, as
also was Clyde Van DuSen, finished
tenth in field of IL in an $500 claim
ing race, after leading for furlongs.
Clyde Van Dusen is a son of Man
o. War-Uncle's Lassie and Flagship is a
son of Man O. r-Understudy.

BALTIMORE, May 81 CP.-Signing
of contract for Joe Dundee to defend
his welterweight title in a 15-rcund
bout in Detroit during the month Of
July has been announced here on be-
half of Floyd Fitzsimmons, Detroit pro-
moter, who obtained the contract.
The promoter said he expected to get
Jackie Fields, whom the National Box

LOUGHRAN FAVORS
OUTDOOR TRAINING
Thinks Schmeling Is Wise in
Selecting Camp to Get
Ready for Pauline.
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN,
Light-heavyweight Champion of the Worl

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Cnaunplon OF the WorIu.
Max Schmeling, I see, will train for
the Pauline fight at Bill Dryers big
farm at Lakewood, N. j. This place
is one of the finest on the Atlantic
Coast.
I have always been strong for out
door training and particularly like to
be near the sea. A lot of my prepara-
tons for bouts have been made at
Wildwood, N. j.
One of the few fighters with diff
ferent slant on the matter is Tom
Heeney. Tom always liked a gymna-
SUM and worked in one as long as he
could when he was getting ready for
Tunney. 1t took lot of persuasion
to get Heeney away from New York
and down to Fair Haven. 1t took still
longer for him to get used to the nov
city Of working in the open air.
I don't know how much outdoor
work. aside from running on the road,
Schmeling has done, but he expressed
himself as greatly pleased with the
surroundings at Lakewood.
That stretch Of the coast always has
been popular with boxers. Years ago
Jim Corbett trained in the Asbury Park
section for his bout with John l.. Sulli-
van.
The Schmeling Pauline fight is
scheduled for June 81, so the boxers
soon will start intensive training. Vic
tory means so much to each that
neither will miss a chance to get in
the finest possible condition.
There is some talk of pitting Pauline
against Jack Sharkey If he wins, and
more than a hint that Jack Dempsey
himself may come back to competition
next Fall to take on Schmeling If the
German should be the victor.
However, September Is quite a dis
lance away. Lots of things can happen
between now and then. I hope to do
sufficiently well to force myself into
the forefront and take the play away
from the other contenders. My bouts
with Ernie Schaaf and James j. Brad
dock will be definite steps toward that.

Consider the regular batting order
right down the line and the batting OF
the players this year does not begin to
compare favorably with their perform
ances in the 1923 campaign. First is
Buddy Myer, who with the Red SoX
last. season hit for 1913 and stole 81
bases to lead the league as pilferer.
This season he is hitting at only .284
clip and to date his speed has gained
but two sacks. Continuing at the pres
ent rate he would steal but dozen
bases this season.
Rice Far or 1928 Form.
Sam Rice was nifty hitter last year.
In fact, it was his 1928 average of 1923
that regained him the berth in right
field, for Manager johnson from the
start of the training campaign had Red
Barnes slated for this post. But Sam
has fallen far below his 1928 pace. He
is seeking the apple now for just .28e,
q very poor figure for him.
Next comes the greatest surprise and
disappointment of the year, Goose Cos
lin. Hammering the ball at .379 rate
last year to win the American League
batting championship, the Goose 10
date has walloped for a mark OF only
.275. And, unfortunately, in the past
, two weeks the Goose has been going
from bad to worse. He has been unable
to time his swing well and when he has
met the ball generally it was with little
force Goslin's slump has hurt the Ma
tionals' cause, hurt it to greater ex-
tent than anything else.
The veteran Judge is below his last
years rating, too, but not SO far below.
A few good days at bat would bring him
back. He hit tor 1906 last season. Now
he is hitting for .294, having done most
of his clouting in recent engagements.
He soon may be packing the punch the
Nationals need.
BIuege, Tate Above Par.
Bluege is stepping along at a pace
two points better than his .297 average.
And his hits have been timely, too. But
during the past week OSsie has shown
signs of slipping. Sammy West, who has
been having an awful time trying to
solve left-hand hurting this year, is "a
points shy OF his 1928 record. But be
it recalled that West during the first
half of the last campaign was an ex-
ceptionally weak hitter. He had an
aaYerage below $50 as late as August
in 1928, yet finished the campaign with
.3o1.
AS to the catchers, Tate is batting
more than hundred points better than
Muddy Ruel and seeking above his 1928
average. Benny now shows a mark of
1858 against last years .246. Ruel hit
for .257 last season, but the best he
has mustered to date in the present
battling is an average of .156. Last OF
the regular lineup excepting pitchers
and pitchers may not rightly be con-
sidered in reckoning clubs batting
strengths Joe Cronin. Joe was in
stalled as regular shortstop because 1t
was thought he would add to the Ma
tionals' offensive strength. He hit .243
during his half-season in 1928. This
year, he has hit at .1e1 clip.
Comparison of the present average of
the Washington hitters with their fig
ures last year is startling. 1t reveals
clearly just why the Nationals are not
getting anywhere in the present flag
race.

The Four SOckmen.

HICAGO is all set and ready to
4 back her Big Four against the
Big Four of the Yankees
Hornsby, Wilson, Stephenson
and Cuyler against Ruth, Geh-
rig. Meusel and Lazzari.
In fact, Chicago feels fairly certain
that her Big Four will get its chance
to prove the argument in the next world
series.
Philadelphia is ready to dispute
this part of the debate. A long, lean
citizen by the name of Connie Mack
will make no such concessions. and
in this stand he has the support OF
his entire community.
IF the Yankees fail, it will not be
through her Big Four, but upon their
lack of pitching. They have no such
pitching for pennant race as the Attn
ietics can command, and they will have
no such pitching for the world series as
the Cubs can call on, If both happen to
reach that goal.
No team in base ball history ever had
such a devastating pair as Ruth and
Gehrig. The matter Of the Big Four
from any one team Is another argU-
uent,

hard to right as to left field, which is
quite feat for right-handed batter.
It's never safe to pitch outside to him,

bit rough in the field, but has good

But not this season.
In five games there this year "Big
Poison" has failed to hit a safe blow.
The best he got yesterday was a walk
in four trips to the plate.

The Fastest Ball Player.

The Fastest Ball Player.
~ EAR SIR: Who is the fastest man
in base ball? American League
IL players say he is Jack Rothrock
of the Boston Red Sox. The
story is told that Paddock once gave
Rothrock 5-yard handicap in Los An
geles, and the Red SoX star ran him an
even race. Eddie Morgan and John
two other flyers, and Roy johnson of the
Tigers can move with the wind. The
National League also has some fast
boys, and the question probably never
will be answered. But 1t would take a
real wind burner to pass Rothrock.

The Golf Ball.

TT will be something like year and
a half before the proposed new anc
1 larger End lighter golf ball comes
into being, but the change is still
being discussed by both buffers ane
stars.
The buffers are beginning to grumble
over the proposed loss of distance, but
this will not be marked, and 1t should
be overcome by their ability to get the
new ball up much quicker with longer
range club.
golfer today can get the present ball
into the air from a close lie with
brassie, spoon or the longer irons.
Anything even resembling f1rst-claSS
braSsie play is almost entirely abb
sent among the rank ana file of
golfers, unless the ball happens to sit
we'll on top of matted turf.
The new ball isn't so much larger
but it looks to be much larger than IL
actually is, and its lighter weight is
more easily got into the air. 1t is at
least the belief of the United States
Golf Association that 1t will make the
game of golf more pleasant and bring
about greater variety Of strokes that
can be PLAYED with somewhat less ten
sion than the game carries today.
The Roughest Game.
IT. HERE has always been some sort
of argument as to whether foot
i ball, boxing or wrestling was the
rougher game. A large number of
votes were cast in behalf of the Crap
pling pachyderms. But Gus Sonnen-
berg, the old Dartmouth foot ball player,
has proved that foot ball has it all over
wrestling. Gus has become wrestling
champion by introducing foot ball tao
tics. In a recent match he merely got
a quick start, dived at his opponent,
ranlmed his head into said opponents
abdomen and the battle was over.
Sonnenberg, using this same foot ball
system, could make most of the heavy
weights jump out of the ring. There
wouldn't even be contest. And yet
any number of our heavyweights are
the most expert wrestlers in the bust
ness, knowing every hold and every
grip that the old game carries.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
II a bridal breakfast and din
Aer are served breakfast at II
o'clock when Is the proper time
for the dinner?
2. At a church wedding where
the bride wears a white ensemble
suit, would it be proper to have
a maid of honor and one brides
maid? Or would it be better to
have a maid Of honor and two
bridesmaids?
8. II the bride wears an en-
semble suit. should the brides.
maids be dressed similarly?
4. Would a large bridal bou-
quet be proper? l.. l.. j.
This would depend entirely
upon the plans of the couple as
to the time that they plan to
start for the wedding Journey.
1t is most exceptional to serve
both a wedding breakfast and d
wedding dinner.
2. For such an informal we'd
ding, when the. bride Is dressed
informally she usually has only
one attendant-her chief attend.
ant. OF course, she may have,
IL she wishes, a bridesmaid or
two, and two is best IL she is
to have any bridesmaids.
5. Yes.
4. With an ensemble suit a
small corsage bouquet would be
more appropriate.
