 Vanderpool is the outstanding member of trio of dark horses who will compete for the pot of gold that lies at the end of the Kentucky Derby course. The son of Campfire and Bramble Rose, who races under the colors of Mrs M. P. Aliens Tennessee Stable, won II consecutive victories as two-year- old.
 In spite of his unusual record as a youngster, Vanderpoof remains somewhat of a problem. He was not. allowed to meet any of the really high class juveniles, with the exception of Equipoise.
 In his first meeting with Equi- boise, the latter stumbled at the barrier and was never able to catch the Allen colt. In the second en. counter Sonny Workman carried Equ- ipoise to a four-length victory, only to be disqualified for rough riding. Most of the spectators thought that Vanderpool was beaten horse in spite of the interference. Others thought that Vanderpool would have won an easy victory. The latter be- lief was shared by the judges, and as most of the spectators had made wagers on the popular Equipoise, the judges opinion would seem to be the best.
 The best thing that can be said of Vanderpool so far is that he IS remarkably consistent. Eleven

straight wins means almost every kind of racing condition must be faced. The Campfire colt, since he always managed to win, is thus superior sort of performer under most track conditions. However, he seems to prefer a heavy track to one where the going is fast.
 Vanderpool was laid up most of the summer with injuries of one sort or another. This does not speak too well of him as a heavy campaigner, a belief that his recent illness tends to confirm.
 The Allen colt has not been asked to go a distance of more than six furlongs. so it is impossible to tell how he will like the derby route of a mile and quarter; nor has he ever been forced to carry anywhere near the derby weight of 126 pounds. The Campfires were always pretty fair distance horses, however, and were never particularly bothered by weight. From all indications. Van derpool will be in there with ven- geance and, if he is not the favorite, at least he is one of the best of the long shots.

Why keep the club low and close to the ground at the start of the backswing?
 To execute a good golf shot, the club must hit the ball a low sweep ing blow directly behind it. Since the club head must come down in the same arc in which 1t goes back to the top of the back-swing, 1t is essential that the club head go back close to the ground. This is the first department of the proper pivot and no golfer can pivot correctly by quickly lifting the club head.

MARTIAL ALLAW IN TWO SECTIONS OF
 CHINA TO-DAY

Peiping, China, July 20.-(UP) Martial law was declared to-day in Peiping and Tientsin, nearby port of North China, as a precau- tionary measure against persiste nt reports of rising rebel move ment.
 The city here was entirely quiet at 1 D. m.
 Rebellion In North China, indi- cated in the martial law dispatch from Peiping, apparently was aini- ed at the overthrow of Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang, young Man. chufian leader now in control of the Peiping Tientsin area.
 The young general, as he Is known, is sympathetic to the na- tional government at Ranking, and has governed northern China and his own three provinces of Man. churia under an agreement of union with Nanking.
 He has been popular in Man. churia, but a group of former North China militarists. said to in- clude General Chang Chung Chang. former Shantung province war lord, has been seeking to incite troops to rebellion against him south of the great wall.
 Such a movement could be call culated to cause serious concern Tt Nanking, already harassed in the south by rebel government" at Canton, and powerful bandit-com- munist forces operating in south central provinces below the Yang tze river.
