THRONG!SWATCH
TWO SPORTS IN
BALTIMORE
By HARRY COSTELLO

BY HARRY COSTELLO
BALTIMORE, April 30.-ThiS
good old city seems to have stolen
the Washington Bicentennial
Committees thunder, at least for
today.
Some $4,000 persons, fully TO-.
900 of them from Washington
and nearby Virginia, were to at
tend this afternoon two impor-
tant sports events here, the thirty
eighth renewal of the famous
Maryland Hunt Cup point-to-point
race, and a lacrosse battle be-
tween West Point and Johns Hop
kins University.
Close to 10000 cross-country
and fox-hunting enthusiasts, as
we'll as society leaders from all
sections of the country, were eX-
pected to witness the thirty-ninth
Maryland Hunt Cup, while an
other $4,000 planned to witness
the lacrosse game between two
undefeated twelves ranking at the
top of the northern and southern
districts.
Scene Of Cup Classic
Snowhill Farm, near Towson,
was the scene of the Maryland
Hunt Cup classic and a sensa-
tional raceAwas promised with II

hazard on the far side.
C. L. Heiser's Bon Master and
Benjamin Leslie Behr's scissors,
the former twice winner of the
Maryland Hunt Cup and the lat

widespread attention today.

Hopkins Slightly Favored
Johns Hopkins entered the in

favorite to win from the Cadets.
An Army triumph today would be
interpreted as throwing the Olym-
pic games lacrosse contention
wide open, while a Hopkins VIC
tory would mean that Baltimore,
College Park and Annapolis would
have corner on probabilities for
the Olympic games competition.

speech, and has been helped a great
deal by the vocal and literary sup
port of Albert Stump, 1926l928
Democratic senatorial nominee, Bit
terly opposed to Myers.
It goes back to 1923, when the
house speaker sought to wrest the
senatorial nomination from Stump
in a bitter campaign, they tell me.
If OBannon's pledges will stick
in the Eighth, he can be said to
control at least $50 of the 154 dele
dates there.
Shively, it is said, will obtain at
least a complimentary vote from
the Fifth district on the first bal
lot, which means 127 votes.
After this ballot, the delegates are
expected to break and scatter.
Both Van Nuys and Myers have
been angling for the Eighth dis
trict, in event that O'Bannon de-
cides to give up the ship.
Myers has been claiming Van
derburg county's 81 votes hands
down, but he may get little sur
prise, according to the dope.
It is said that Val Nolan, Evans
vile city attorney, has been in cor
respondence with Van Mugs and
may take a large number Of dele
gates to him.
The house Speaker also is count
ing heavily upon American Legion
support, because of his activity as
a member, but if what is told is
true. the ex-service men care only
for the nomination Of Paul v. Nc
Mutt for Governor, and are saying
two legionnaires at the head of
the ticket is 700 much and may
peeve the old guard.
The Democratic senatorial fight
is a tight affair. But II the dope
heard here is correct, Van Mugs
steadily is gaining ground.

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

XXTHEN you look back at it, the
w motto Of the average big city
during the recent years Of high
prosperity seems to have been
anything goes"
Money was easy, and everybody
was out to get his. There was
graft in politics and there was
funny business in the marts OF
trade. Private and public morality
descended rs stock market prices
went up.
A picture Of all of this is con-
tanned in the novel, Babylon on
the Hudson" by an anonymous
author.
This writer studies the turbu-
lence of the boom period and the
chaotic turmoil Of the depression
By following the fortunes of the
three children of a moderately
wealthy New York merchant.
They are two brothers and a sis
ter, and when the merchant dies
an aging lawyer is left to look af-
ter them; and it is largely through
his eyes that the action is seen.
1t makes a queer picture. Most
Of the recent municipal scandals
in New York are dragged in,
thinly disguised.
Racketeers, crooked politicians,
interruptions financiers and shady
lawyers chase one another across the
pages in a dismaying procession.
Reading, you get the impression
of a society grown utterly corrupt
utterly rotten, ready to disintegrate
at the first serious shock.
Babylon on the Hudson" could
have been edited to good advantage
1t is wordy, full Of musky philos-
ophizing, confusing, involved
and its revelations" after all
hardly will surprise anyone who has
been reading current newspapers
and magazines.

Brothers, and sells for $3.50.

editors and managers, feeling that
all is over in the Governor nomi-
nation race except the shouting,
turned their attention to the sena-
torial situation in their conferences
here.
Although there are four contend
ers for this nomination, only three
seem to be receiving any mention.
They are Frederick Van Mugs, for
mer district attorney and former
state chairman; Walter Myers,
speaker Of the 1881 house and the
nominee for mayor in 1925, both of
Indianapolis. and Lew O'Bannon,
Corydon, publisher and 1924 nomi-
nee for Lieutenant-G Governor.
The fourth man is Bernard Shive-
" of Marion, former state senator,
who was co-author of the Shively-
Spencer act, establishing the pub
lie service commission. and whose
campaign in the main has been
directed toward the utility issue.
Van Nuys and Myers seem to hold
the center of the stage, while inter-
est in O'Bannon is concentrated on
the question of where he will at
tempt to throw the Eighth district
vote pledged to him If he decides
not to go. or sees during the bal
loting that his chances are mighty
slim.
The two Indianapolis aspirantS
have been battling it out over the
state, and while Myers has been
striking for the industrial centers,
basing his main campaign on his
stand against prohibition. Van Nuys
has been seeking the support Of The
rural sections.

Bridges Central Span
"Frozen" Into Position

1t is,perhaps not generally known
'act, but the following incident actual
" happened, says the Washington
Star. A certain bridge was under
construction, and when the central
span was lifted into place 1t was found
to be slightly too long to fit into the
supporting spans. The engineer in
charge purchased an enormous guam
tity Of ice, and, packing 1t around the
steel members, caused contraction Of
the steel, eventually shrinking the en-
ire structure and allowing the central
span to slip into Its proper position.
The fact that the bridge was too
long resulted merely from a day Of
unseasonably high temperature, which
happened to correspond with the day
on which the last member Of the
bridge had to be placed. The simplest
solution would have been to delay
closing the bridge until the tempera-
ture dropped, or perhaps inserting
the member at night. The fact that
the engineer thought Of packing the
eantilevered arms Of the bridge with
ice. indicates clearly what q resource
full engineer he was. The bridge IL
the Eads bridge across the Mississippi
river at St. Louis, and the engineers
name was James B. Eads.

Visits Of Death Angel
Most Frequent at Night

The question Of the time Of day at
which most deaths occur has engaged
the attention Of the French scientist.
Lavastine, we are told in the Neues
Wiener Journal (Vienna), reported BY
the Literary Digest. We read:
:, ION the strength of carefully col
lected statistical material Lavastine
has come to the conclusion that the
predominant majority Of deaths occur
at night
"Most people die during the time Of
sleep, between seven o'clock In the
evening and six o'clock in the morn.
Ing. More rarely death occurs I'm the
hours which man usually spends
awake. Thus Lavastine observed last
year that In the hospital under his d.
rection about 120 patients died at
night, whereas according to the rec
ords only IS deaths occurred In the
daytime,
at is interesting that the French
scientist although he expressly empha
sizes his rejection Of astrology, traces
this back to cosmic influences. still
unknown to us.
Moreover, he has also concerned
himself with the problem Of the hour
Of birth, and has collected extensive
material from the memoranda Of Pa
risian hospitals for women. Here. too.
1t may be proven from statistics that
The number Of births in nighttime 10
