LEGION GROUP
ASKS BEER
CONTINUED From Page n
bonus issue at its first session TO-
day.
Bonus Action Held Up

Qhys
Bonus Action Held Up
The committee reached the
deadlocked report of the subcom.
mittee which had divided three to
three on the bonus. The full COM
mittee discharged the subcommlt-
tee and then failed to reach an
agreement itself because Of a split
in the ranks of the majority over
demanding a reduction in interest
rates on bonus loans.
The resolutions subcommittee
voted 9 to Z Tor revision Of the
dry law. with the vets unable to
agree on a plan for revising it.
Divided on Three Plans
The same division of opinion
occurred when the full resolutions
committee held long night ses-
sion. The committee adjourned
with the vets still deadlocked
over three distinct plans.
One group demands repeal of
L1E GlS11OCCL1O14 &AAAAC4AOAAACAAOS NAA-
other a referendum on proh1bi-
ton, while the third wants imme-
date modification Of the Volstead
act to permit the manufacture
and sale of beer. Those demand
ing legalization of beer are
strongest.
President Hoover will be
credited with q moral victory
when the legion declares it will
forego demanding the cash
bonus but the verdict was ar
ranged before the Executive came
to Detroit.
Can't Agree on Plan
The convention will go on rec
ord as believing the bonus should
have been paid in full when Con-
gress enacted it. Then, pointing
out the grave economic crisis, the
convention will say it does not
ask for the cash payment at this
time.

Colt Must Make Good

If the colt would grow up to
disport himself upon the Amer
lean turf as Sergeant Donald
son did in behalf of the Amer
lean Army a decade before,
why then it would be a. happy
choice, indeed, as a name. And
if by any chance the young
animal should develop into the
kind of a horse that wasn't
worth it's feed, the owner at
least had the privilege of TAX
ing him out behind the Glen
Riddle stable and shooting him
until he was dead as those 26
Germans Sergt. Mike Donald
son left behind at Hill No. 288,
or maybe it was 1873.
But the rising twelve or thir-
teen thousand souls who saw
Sergeant Donaldson take charge
of the fourth and feature race
of the opening day charity card
at Bowie Monday afternoon and
retain command thereof until
the enemy was his" must
have visualized the famous SOL
dier for whom he was named,
when the classy little colt shot
out ahead of his field at the
quarter and gradually worked
his lead up to eight lengths,

CANADIAN D j {
At AUDITORIUM

'Tis said that the Canadian
mounted police always get their
men, and Wallace Dugan has
tried to live up to this slogan as
a heavyweight wrestler. Dugan
is a member of the famous Cana
dian mounted police and will be
seen in Washington Thursday
night at the Washington Audi
torium, where he is to oppose
Hans Steinke, the numbering Ger
man.
Dugan has been going like a
house afire in Canada and has
entered this country, hoping to
make his way with those wrestlerS
harvesting gold in the American
fields. It will be a battle of
giants, as Dugan and Steinke tip
the scales at PAS pounds each.
They're as big as Tiny Roebuck.
if that gives any idea as to their
sizes.
This bout, however, will be
nothing like that anticipated
when Chief White Feather, the
cruel Indian. and Rudy Dusek,
the Nebraska Wildcat" step
into the ring. It's like putting
two angry lions into a cage
and throwing the key away.
When Promoter Turner an
nounced this match to his au-
dience last Thursday night as
the feature for the show this
week, the fans nearly tore the
roof off the Auditorium. They'll
be there to see DuSek and White
Feather push and punch each
other all over the canvas. What's
more, neither wrestler win draw
any sympathy from the fans, who
will laugh when one or the other
is in agony.

Just a Thoroughbred

Why, you could almost hear
Sergeant Donaldson say to
those other nags as they shot
out of the stall gates, What
is youse guys doin' in this
here race?" his superiority was
so marked.
"a orough bred" one
couldn't help remark to ones
self, and a thoroughbred he
was and is. All horse, if you
ask, just like the fellow from
whom he got his name was
and is all man, as he so well
established at Hill No. 288 Cor
was it 1882
There we're six other races
on that bang-off card, and vari:
GUS horses ran and some Of
them won and many of them
lost, but that was just dressing
and garnishing for Sergeant
Donaldson's race, called "The
Opportunity" and Sergeant
Donaldson made it all of that.
The day was dedicated to
the unemployed and the stands
and clubhouse we're full of them.
A motley crowd, all bent on
coming away with more than
they took with them and prac-
tically none succeeding. For,
you see, good horses, like Ser
geant Donaldson, don't pay
much when they win, because
a horse like that is expected
to do something great and the
mutuel machines won't bet you
hardly any odds at all they,
the Donaldsons, won't win.
The Washington times., 1931-03-31

Along about october 13, hard
ly a month before the armis-
tice was signed, Sergeant Don
aldson, at that time a private
in the 165th Infantry of the
Forty-second Division, single
handedly captured Hill No. 288,
or maybe it was 1873, which was
just about as loaded Win Ger
mans as mules hoof is with
dynamite.
So, as we say, Sergeant Mike
was a pretty good man at that
time or he couldn't have
brought back 26 prisoners from
Hill No. 288 Cor was it 1882
without even stopping to count
the number of dead he left be-
hind.
And possibly that is the rea-
son that 10 years later, when a
chestnut colt was born to the
Glen Riddle Stables whose pa
rents were Whisk Broom I'd
and Assembly,, and the owner
wanted a good name for the
likely looking Spindle-legged
thoroughbred, they lighted on
the name of Sergeant Donald
son therefor.

Pan-AmericQn Day
To Be Observed
At Ball Park

Baseball will take on an
international aspect on the
opening day here, April IA,
when Pan-American day will
be observed, the Latin-American
countries participating to the
extent of having some repre-
sentative of their country raise
their native flags at the ball
park.
The program is in charge of
DR.. L. S. Rowe, director gen.
eral of the Pan-American Union,
and dignitaries of this country
as we'll as those to the south
will participate in the observ-
ance of the day. President
Hoover will be present and
will, Of course, throw out the
first ball.
The Washington times., 1931-03-31

as if to say to the rest of the
horses, as Sergeant Donaldson
said to his comrades at Hill
No. 288 Cor was it 1892:
: Follow mel"
The best hunch bet a fellow
could possibly have, even
weren't Sergeant Donaldson a
very fine breed, that horse
which bears the name of Mike
Donaldson, Irish and as game
as a man could be.
And to the half-chilled audi
ence which rose and cheered
to a throat when Sergeant
Donaldson made such a run
away race of it, it must have
been worth the whole after
Moons shivering and standing
first on one foot and then on
the other just to see such a
horse and such race.

EVERYSCHOOL
ELIGIBLE FOR
EVENT
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

President Dave Thomson, of the
District Golf Association, has
called a meeting of his executive
committee for April 8 at the
Manor Club at $50 p. m. to con-
slider the proposed wide-open inter.
scholastic golf championships.
Thomson is suggesting a tourna.
ment that will be open to the
public and parochial high and
prep schools. He feels that the
tourney will be an instantaneous
success, and, within a short time,
will develop into one of the most
coveted championships in the
District and surrounding territory.
'T believe that we can make
headway with such a tOurna-
ment," observes Thomson. "We
will not only invite every high
and prep school in the District,
but will send invitations to
schools in nearby Maryland and
Virginia.
I'VE could look for entries
from GOnZaga, Central, BuSi-
ness, Western, Tech, Eastern, st.
Johns, Dewitt Prep, Friends, st.
Adams and Woodward Prep in
the District alone. Besides, we
could also expect entries from
Episcopal High, Alexandria
High, Washington and Lee
High, Georgetown Prep, Hyatts-
vile High, Rockville High, Chevy
Chase-BetheSda High and Sill
yer Spring -Takoma Park High.
"We'l have to make the
tourney a One-day affair the
latter part of May or the first
week in June. Our main prob
lem will be in naming a day
on which we can expect the
schoOlbOys to compete. OF
course, the schOOlbOys can play
on any Saturday, but none Of
the clubs in our association
would be able to surrender
their courses for Saturday, be-
cause this day, as well as Sun
day, is reserved for members.
81 know that there is a
Dawes Trophy for which the
public schOOlboys compete as
the interSchOlastic champion
ship, but 1 am informed that
only Central, Tech and West
ern provide entries for this
event. Our tournament will
have a wider scope and be more
prominent as a result"
Members of the women's golf
committee at Beaver Dam Coun.
try Club met at the home of Mrs.
Alma Won STEINER, the chair
man, and discussed methods Of
improving play for the women.
They voted to invite the men to
a mixed Scotch foursome on May
8. Other golf events of interest
for women will be on May 80,
July 4, Labor Day and the an
nual championship.
A dance will be held at Indian
Spring Saturday night to help
defray the expense of renovat-
ing and decorating the club grill
room, which has been frightened
up considerably with the mem
bers of the women's golf COM
mittee supervising, and actually
doing part of the work.

D. c. Golf Body Meets April to Consider SchOOlbOy TOune
RED SOX GIVE
BOSTON FANS
H OPE

The amazing record of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, the collapse OF the
Pittsburgh Pirates against the
Cubs and Detroit, and the inabil-
ity of the worlds champion Phil
adeIphia Athletics to break even
against major league opposition
are the features of the exhibition
season to date.
The feat of the Red Sox in
winning nine of their 10 games,
even though minor league clubs
furnished the opposition in each
contest, has convinced some op-
timistic Boston fans that Shane
Collins is going to perform the
miracle of lifting the Beaneaters
out of the American League Gel
lar this season.
We think the Sox will be
lucky if they win nine Ameri-
can League games by the mid,
die of May, but the Hub hope.
fuIs are going right ahead,
gathering their pOsies while
they may, even though the
morrow bring disilluSiOnment.
The Pirates took their fifth
straight beating from the Cubs
Yesterday and have won only two
of their 10 games with big league
opponents. Unless all signs fail,
Jewel Ems and his crew are going
to be left at the post again when
the National League derby gets
under way two weeks from today.
The Athletics, like the Pirates
have been hampered by pooc
pitching. The Mackmen have
managed to win but six OF their
13 games with other major
league outfits.
The other 13 teams have been
playing at just about their 1880
speed.
In interIeague contests the
American League clubs have
the edge, having won 19 of
their 36 games with National
League teams.
Discounting to some extent the
performances of the Red SoX,
Cleveland and Washington, all OF
whom have to face major league
opposition, the l6 big league
teams might be rated as follows

GOLF
By CHESTER HORTON

When you begin by design to
use your golf club more as a
whip it becomes apparent that
