TWENTY GRAND
ST|RS RACERS
BY PADDOCK

LAUREL RACE TRACK, Oct.
1.-THE Green Tree Stables
Twenty Grand was on every
tongue here today. When that
splendid colt conquered Equipoise
yesterday in the Kentucky Jockey
Club Stakes in 1885 flat, setting
new mile track record after
nine years, he was acclaimed the
outstanding colt of 1880, regard
less Of the performance Of
Jamestown in capturing the Bel
mont Futurity last month.
Horsemen here cannot recall
when a 2-year-old, or a 3-year-old
either, has stepped mile with
the crushing impost of 122
pounds in 1886, or anywhere near
it.
Twenty Grand has been in
stalled the favorite in the Pimlico
Futurity which is to be run
November at one mile-and-a-
sixteenth. And his odds have
been cut considerable in the
Kentucky Derby to be run in
1881.
The st. Germans-Bonus colt
has now taken the measure of
Equipoise twice, the first time on
October 4 at Aqueduct in the
Junior Championship Stakes,
when he carried Ill pounds and
drew out cleverly in the stretch
to win by a full length. YeSter-
day, however, he carried equal
weights with Equipoise picking
up II pounds from his previous
effort, and beat the latter a nose
after practically leaving the post
last, and having to work his way
up and come on from behind.
Twenty Grand has started only
six times in his career, and has
won four races, finishing second
once and unplaced in his other
start. He is a splendid looking
colt and seems to improve with
each start.
The Greentree Stable colt was
bred by Mrs. Payne Whitney, and
Trainer Murphy all along has
predicted great things for him.

While others may pirate of the
crowded Stadia these autmnal
afternoons. of the, new Notre
Dame amphitheater, the Yale
Bowl, Princeton's Palmer stad-
iur1 and the famed Rose Bowl
of Pasadena, we shall pause to
preach of a lesser sports stage
which happens to be immedi-
ately over what twenty years ago
was a stable for some Of the
fanciest steppers that ever
hooked to harness on a gay
Sunday afternoon in the Ma
tional Capital.
Up an alley between G. and H
Streets Northwest and in the
vicinity of Sixth, a group OF
boys, not a mothers son Of
them a day over IL or IA, has
established what is the head
quarters of the Python Ath-
letic Club. Whence the name,
none in the vicinity knew when
we called, but Python they call
it and Python it is.
In their loft arena the boys
have builded a ring, the corner
posts of odds and ends Of lumber
they ripped from the various
back fences. Piecing together
what remnants Of awnings they
could beg or borrow from the
vicinity, a canvas floor has been
tackled down for wrestling and
boxing, the padding therefor
being scraps Of excelsior and
lawn-mowings from the neigh
boring yards.
Talk of amateurs-here are
real amateurs. Every member
of the club, and the roster num-
bers two score boys, engages in
either wrestling or boxing and
many of them go in for both.
Yeah, and they have officers
and bylaws, but not enough of
either to build too many re-
strictions around membership
or competition.
Teddy Clarkson is the cur
rent president and Bobby
Whiteford is the secretary and
treasurer and they merely pass
on membership and keep track
of the dues. Access to their
attic rendezvous is by way Of
the ordinary loft ladder up
which every one Of us has
scrambled at one time or other
in our youths.
Hardly an afternoon passes
bbut matches of one type or the
other are held in the haf-light
of that alley gymnasium and the
cheering and the roofing. Of the
onlookers can be heard above all
normal community activity.
On the afternoons the mem
bers of the Python Club stage
fighting, the boys are admitted
up the ladder on their member
ship cards, thereby adhering to
the District of Columbia code
prohibiting the charging of ad-
mission for a boxing match,
but on the days wrestling is in
order, a 10-cent fee is levied,
all of which goes into pool

DESERTER DEATH
 PENALTY DROPPED
Parliament Makes Change in
 Army's Regulations

London, April P)-The British house of commons, voting last night on the army and 'airforce bill, pass ed the amendment of a labor mcm- Der to abolish the death penalty for desertion while in active service. The vote of 219 to S5 apparently settled one of the most debated questions which arose out of the wartime dis cipline of British forces. -.-- . 7.
 The amendment substituted penal servitude for desertion in the face of an enemy and was supported among others by Oliver Baldwin, labor member and son of the conservative leader, Stanley Baldwin. Other pro visions of the bill which were pass cd abolished the death penalty for cowardce in certain cases.
 In introducing the amendment abolshing the penalty for assertion while in active service Ernest Thurtle, the author, argued that since the death sentence no longer was in force for CoWardice-this provision had been passed previous ly-there was no logic for retaining it for desertion. He stated that out of 2S7 men executed while serving with the colors during. the war, 264, or 92 per cent, were shot for descr- ton.
 Says Many Deserted
 He argued that the death penalty did not stiffen the backs of the sol diers, for, in addition to those who were shot, 17,oO0 men deserted. Tom Shaw, secretary of state for war, in his answer said that provisions for execution of deserters should be so hedged around that they could be applied only to those who deserted in cold blood and not to those whose nerves could not stand the strain.
 Through a misunderstanding la bor members supported another amendment, to which they were in fact opposed, for the retention of the death penalty for soldiers quit. ting their posts or causing false alarms to be spread. This amend ment probably will be deleted later

Los Angeles, April (UP)-When Col. and Mrs. Charles A, Lindbergh return east, probably in the near fu- ture, their flying togs will be quite the latest thing in spring aviation apparel.
 The couple had delivery today on two electrically heated flying suits, designed by Dr. F. k. Charles.
 Col. Lindbergh decided he didn't l want one of Dr. Charles leather ''electric" suits, so the inventor con- trived a cloth made of fabric inn pregnated with rubber under 13 tons pressure. Virgin fleece and mohair satin were used in the lining. Electric cables have heat centers in the chest, back, arms and legs oi the suits. They will produce 40 de- grees of heat from a 12-volt battery A special generator installed on the Lindbergh monoplane will furnish the current.
