D. A. R. GROUP VISITS.
DISTRICT MARKER.
Milestone Placed by Wash
ington in 1892 Has Proved
Elusive Point.

Leaders of the Daughters of the
American Revolution made plans today
to preserve the will-o'-the-wisp Of the
10 milestones imbedded in mother earth
under the direction of George Washing
ton to mark the boundaries Of the Dis
trict.
Rediscovery of the elusive marker
was verified yesterday by delegation
of members of the patriotic organiza-
ton who journeyed to the storm swept
spot on the banks of the Potomac
River opposite Jones Point, where the
stone new rests
The marker is on farm near Oxon
Hill, Md, owned by st. Elizabeth's
Hospital. 1t is located so close to the
edge of the stream and on such low
ground that the murky waters OF the
Potomac frequently obscure 1t from
view. It bears the inscription: "Juris-
diction of the United States, Miles 8,
POI p (poles)''
The milestone was found recently by
Miss Jane Bassett. an employe Of the
State Department and member OF the
D. A. r. It originally was discovered
by others more than quarter of
century ago. The marker was placed
in 1892.
Among the members of the party who
viewed the milestone yesterday were
Mrs. j. Franklin Little, regent OF Po-
tolnac Chapter; Mrs. H. H. Thompson,
former State historian; Mrs. Grace
Porter Hopkins, State publicity chair
man; Miss Helen Hartman, State regent
Miss Katrina Harvey, State historian,
and Mrs. Donald E. Earll, State mile
stone chairman.

PARIS CP).-Premier Andre Tardieu
has declared himself bourgeois" by
wearing a white vest.
He wore it first, with a formal cut
away coat, at a meeting at Nancy, IN
Lorraine. 1t was considered significant,
because the white vest was regarded
as a sort of distinguishing mark, set
ting him apart from the Socialists and
Radical-Socialists.
Those class-conscious politicians
wouldn't be caught dead In q white

Anyway, the premier's white vest has

QUESTIONABLE ADDS
ANOTHER STAKE RACE
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 26.-The Wearing
of the Green" reverberated through the
Westminster hills today as James
Buffers QUESTIONABLE came romping
home, winner of the derby at Empire
City.
The Irish melody has announced the
triumphs Of Butler horses over the
Butler-owned track many times in the
past, but never did 1t sound more cheer
full to the master Of Eastview
His long list of victories include prac-
tically every stake run at Empire City,
but the fourteenth running Of the derby
today was the first time the green silks
have led their field over the mile and
a quarter derby jaunt.
Mack Garner had the mount on the
Butler speedster and he had little
trouble guiding the 3-year-old to his
score. Breaking on top, Uncle Mack
took slight hold on his mount, allow
ing the colt to open up lead Of two
lengths as the field hit the back
stretch
As the quartet turned into the
stretch, Garner let QUESTIONABLE out
a notch and he soon widened his
lead to three lengths. Spinach and
Awake tired under the whip as Gone
Away passed them in the drive to the
final drive.
The zeigler racer, however could not
menace QUESTIONABLE and was beaten
by five lengths. Spinach was two
lengths back Of Gone Away and three
lengths in front of Awake.
Because of his impressive string OF
victories, QUESTIONABLE was made the
favorite at the prohibitive odds OF
to 4.
He stepped the route in 2.o54s.

GOLF|NG At NIGHT
TO Be GIVEN TEST
Luminous Balls That Can't
Get Lost Give Promise
of Big Following.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n VOW, according to word from Chi
N cago, they are going to try the
experiment of playing golf at
night at the Sunset Valley Golf
Club.
Night foot ball is already established.
Last year nocturnal pigskin chasing
filed the Golfers of small college ath-
letic associations that we're greatly in
need of money, and in base ball the
experiment of conducting the national
game under electric lights has resulted
in some of the smaller leagues attend
ance being enhanced fourfold. Pros
poets are that nearly $4,000 spectators,
the greatest In the history Of the Jer-
sey City base ball club, will crowd the
field tonight when Newark and the
Skeeters inaugurate o'clock base ball.
AS to golf it has this advantage
you do not have to light up the links.
Luminous balls, made bright and vivid
by certain preparation Of phosphores-
cent paint, are all that is necessary.
Chicago is hailing the idea as a
brand-new one, but it is not so new
as those who will recall tests made at
Van Courtlandt Park by Miller Bloomer
will be ready to testify. Bloomer stood
up there on the tee and sent balls
streaking down the fairways or into
the ruts like meteors. Those who were
in the World War, If they recall the
tracer bullets Fl ed by airplane machine
guns, will have an idea of the exhibit
ton that Bloomer put on. Whether the
ball went into the underbrush. wher-
ever it went, it was never lost It
gloWed like a beacon in its seclusion,
and thus was easily found.
And then some time ago they tried
out golf at Briarcliff under illumina-
ton very similar to that used at foot
ball and base ball games. 1t worked
well enough as long as the ball was
kept on the fairway But any devia-
ton was a lost ball surely and GER
tainly.
But the phosphorescent ball would
seem TO be the ideal medium for night
golf. 1t will be surprising If within a
year various links are not crowded with
armies of ghostly nocturnal players.

PIGEON HOLE WINS
ARLINGTON STAKE
Outsider Runs Through Mud
in Best Time of Career.
Sun Beam Last.

By the Associated Press.
A ELLINGTON PARK, Chicago,
~ July 26.-Racing through mud
n fetlock deep, Pigeon Hole, s.
year-old son of Hollister-Pig-
con Pie. won the s45.OOO Arlington
Handicap, second richest stake of the
Arlington meeting, today, beating Gu
rate in a stunning upset by a length.
The Nut was third and Paul Bunyan
fourth, in a field of IL.
The surprising winner, owned by Hal
Price Headley of Lexington, KY, raced
the mile and a quarter in 2:o735, the
best performance of his career.
The stake had a gross value Of
S45,5o0, and Melted owner Headley
s34,40O The effort Of Citrate, owned
by Joseph E. Widener of New York, was
worth $4,000. with $4,000 going to The
Nut and 81 500 to Paul Bunyan.
Pigeon Hole was an outsider in the
wagering, due to the wad of money bet
on Sun Beau and Citrate, the heavily
played favorites.
With no particularly great stars in
the field, possibly excepting Sun Beau,
the field of II originally named, was
reduced to II at post time, due TO the
sloppy condition of the track.
The big disappointment OF the race
was the performance Of Sun Beau,
owned by William Sharpe Kilmer of
Binghamton, N. Y. Sun Beau shoul-
dering top weight of 125 pounds, did
not extend himself in the muddy rae
ing. and was trailing most all the way,
finishing last.

w. Red" Cunningham, pro at Burning
Tree, with whom Brick grew up as a
caddie at the Washington course. Il
played him the other day and he bet
on 10 and II and made 10. And the
next time I bet him on II and 70 and
he made 70. Finally I bet him on
straight 70 and he made 49," Brick
said. ANY guy who can shoot like that
can win my money"
So it seems that Brick now comedies
that Walter Cunningham can shoot a
bit of golf now and then. Brick is
right Any gent who can shoot II, IL
and 70 over that Washington course
can shoot considerable golf, for there
isn't hole on the course that cannot
easily wreck score.

l. days have passed. but Clarence Kel-
ly'S victory in the recent dental tour
ney at Baltimore has just come to light

tiers went over to Baltimore a few days
ago to play a group of Baltimore's, and
in conjunction with the team match in
dividual prizes were offered. DR.. Clar-
ence Kelly of Washington won the in
divtdual prize, but notice of his winning
85 did not appear in any of the papers.
