Ambas to
France, Paper Says

BOSTON, March 21.-[P-Th e
Boston Herald says today in a
copyrighted story that its Washing
ton correspondent has learned that
Alvan T. Fuller, former governor Of
Massachusetts,, has been tentatively
picked to succeed Myron r. Her
rick as this country's ambassador
to France.
Fuller. long regarded as possible
choice for the post, will arrive in
Washington Saturday afternoon
and The Herald adds, it is hardly
by accident" that his arrival Will
coincide with that Of Henry l..
Stimson, the new secretary of state.
The former governor has been IN
Palm Beach and is motoring north.
Apparently the only question n
settled is whether Stimson will ap-
prove Fuller'S choice for the Paris
post, the story says.

FORT WORTH, March 21.-Coach
Dutch" Meyers Purple diamond
squad took their first tilt Of the
season last week when they downed
the strong Frisco team, one of the
best sandlot teams of the city, 1876.
The offensive work of the Frogs was
especially pleasing to Meyer, and the
Purple showed real punch when hits
were needed to bring in TALES.
The mound work of Rob Ell Cox
also gratified the Purple fans. The
big right-hander showed dazzling
fast balls. mixed with a nice curve
and change of pace. He held the
railroad team to three hits, we'll
scattered. 1t is CoX's first year
on the team, he having got a late
start last season and failing to de-
velop as expected. This year he got
off to a whirlwind start and bids
fair to make the best hurler on the
team. Ellsworth Chappell also
worked well, but was hit rather free
ly. He also has been showing a
world Of stuff.
Ralph Buster" Walker, Frog
mound ace, did not see action in the
first tilt but is ready to go and will
probably get the call in the next
practice game.
Ed Sain, first-year catcher,
showed might with the club. sock

double, and counting for several

Steve Swetonic was one of five
American Association pitchers to
win 20 games or more in 1928.
But Steve had the jump on the
other four, for his team, the In
dams Of indianapolis, won the pen
nant and Swetonic had an extra
series in which to display his pitch
ing proves. What he showed in
the little worlds series, which In

why Pittsburgh bought the clever
young right handler.
In winning 90 and losing eight

ner, Papyrus. green clad Steve
Donoghue up. and the high spirited,
prancing zev, pride Of the American
turf. white clad Earl Sande in the
saddle.
The rival thoroughbred kings Of
Britain and the United States, pre-
mier jockeys Of the two nations.
10000 looking on under dripping
skies and 100000 at stake-these
were the elements of the great in
ternational race at picturesque Bel
mont park, the American Newman
ket. In September, 1923.
The race at a mile and half
through mud fetlock deep was lust a
ronp for Harry F. Sinclair's re-
n0STned colt, under Sande's skillful
guidance. The event, as colorfully
and deliberately staged as any in the
history of the turf, was conceived
by the late Maj. August Belmont as
the f%orerunner Of international rae
ing on a consistently big scale.
Following gallant little Papyrus
came the great French horse, Epin-
ard, which furnished a succession of
thrills in 1924 in races with such
American stars as Wise Counsellor
and Ladkin. Interest reached a
high pitch in these turf classics but
| the death of Major Belmont, long
a dominant power in American
racing, checked the ambitious fea-
lures Of his program.
It was the majors plan to bring
together annually the leading thor
ouhbreds Of Europe and America,
alternately in this country and
abroad. He blazed the trail but the
idea has languished. although this
year there is something of a revival
of international interest in the pres
ence on English turf of Reign Count,
winner of the 1923 Kentucky derby,
and Billy Barton. American jumper.
Major Be1mont's big event of 1923,
the most important match rae ar
ranged since Man O. War beat Sir
Barton at Windsor. developed a
number Of dramatic side-lights,
even though the actual race was a
disappointment.
Ben Irish's little brown horse
came e in royal style but in sub
sequent training failed to impress
the railbirds. Not much enthusiasm
for English derby winners chances
in the big race was aroused until a
few days before the event. Report
spread of a sensational time trial by
Papyrus and the colts stock doomed.
It began to look like a race, especi-
ally as troubles developed at the
same time in the American camp.
Betting odds shortened.
Zev, Kentucky derby winner and
first choice as the American entry
all along. developed a skin ailment.
The Sinclair -Hildreth colts training
was shrouded in mystery. Its every
movement was closely guarded.
Meanwhile, the Jockey club con-
sidered the possibility of calling on
the alternate entry, Adm. Cary
Grayson's My Own. But at q meet
ing the day before the race it was
decided to risk the homebred
chances with Zev.

being off-form or affected by any

1t may or may not have been a
successfully engineered coup. as
many professed to believe, but Zev's
hackers nevertheless made a slean-

Zev'S victory helped the Sinclair
horse establish a money-winning

A few years ago 6 man about 30 years old was tending tar wagon while at work on highway construc- ton.
 Some mischievous children opened up the escape valves of the kettle of boiling tar When he heard what had happened the man ran about a third of q mile 10 the tar-boiler. There he found q lake of tar on the road covered by clouds of fumes.
 He waded through the fumes to shut off the valves. He breathed deeply because he was out of breath. Immediately after coming out of the fumes he became violently ill with convusions. Since that time he has had repeated hcmorrhages from the lungs. He developed acute infam- nation of the kidneys, later severe anemia and finally some disturb anccs of the nervous system.

You want 10 watch out, Son, that you don't lose your hens some tine night. Here IS an account in the paper Of the taking Of all Of one farmers hens and the thieves got away with them"
 T don't believe any one Will bother Us" said Farmer Browns Boy. T guess Bowscr the Hound would sIye us warning"
 We'll replied Farmer Brown, "take my advice and be sure that you lock the henhouse door every night
 Farmer Browns Boy said that he would. In fact. he got up right then and went out to make sure that the henhouse door vas locked But wasn't really afraid that thieves would visit that henhouse. No one ever had stolen any chickens there that is, no human being had ever stolen any. Of course, Reddy Fox and Robbcr the Rat and Shadow the Weasel had from time 10 time taken 3, few, but somehow Farmer Browns Boy had never regarded these as thieves.
