1t is said that the institution
has postponed the event due to
the lack of finances. For the first
four years the meet was limited
to Eastern parochial high and
prep schools, and was called the
Eastern Catholic scholastic field
and track meet. Last year the
field was opened to all Eastern
high and prep schools.

city, placed second and third, re-
spectively.

BRADLEY FARM s
HUNTER TRIALS
. GIVE THRILLS
BY HARRY COSTELLO


Captain Snuff appeared bored
as he came to the starting mark
Saturday afternoon in the hunter
trials of the Riding and Hunt
Club, at Bradley Farm.
Here was he, stout-hearted,
sturdy and brilliant son Of the
great English sire, Friar Marcus,
and the noted French dam,
Yvonne B, running a hunters
trial before q few hundreds Of
spectators, when a few short
years ago he had Streaked over
the most difficult Of courses in
his native Surrey, with England's S
most noted Jockey aStride him,
and with more than $4,000 per-
sons raising tumult in honor Of
him, and his master, Little
Davy," Prince Of Wales!
Captain Snuff must have re-
called those glamorous days in
Surrey, for he seemed to survey
these few hundreds Of people at
Bradley Farm with naughty de.
meanor.
Somewhat AIOOf
A hunters trial for the horse
taught since babyhood that only
speed and endurance mean any
thing to the thoroughbred! He
seemed, verify, to object to horses
Of cold blood coming near him.
A peculiar place, no doubt,
but old Captain Snuff realized
that his master, Thomas Town
send Mott, 1920 Glenbrook Road,
Edgemore, Md, who had the leg
UP on him, wanted Captain to
do the 14-jump, two-and-a-half
mile course in 7:10 or there
abouts. So the good 11-year-old
went right out and stepped it
off in 7:06, more than a minute
and a half better, than his near
est competitor. ..a
It was good to see the old
Captain leave ground. behind
him, and had WaShington's race
goers known that the son Of
Friar Marcus and Yvonne B was
to take part in the trials Satur-
day, there would have been
thousands out to watch him per.
form.
Lots of Real Sport
It was a day Of real sport at
Bradley Farm. The course,
planned in the very heart of a
natural and beautiful hunt coun-
try, has the great virtue Of per
feet visibility. One may stand
near the old stone house and
see every post and rail jump,
every chicken coop, every stone
wall, every Hitchcock brush.
Varied going in this course, too;
trappy in places, with faults ever
staring one in the face.
Much excellent riding by both
men and women featured the
day. A few unique features, also.
For instance, Major w. M. Grimes,
M. F. H., Washington Drag
Hounds of the Riding and Hunt
Club, took mother and son over
the same course in the same
afternoon when he had leg up
on Nancy Andrews in the quail
fled class and took first ribbon
with her son, Life Of Reilly, in
the green class.
Test of Qualities
The object of Saturdays trials
was to test hardness, endurance,
cross-country galloping and the
ability Of the horses that have
hunted during the season which
started last October Is and closed
Saturday. During that time there
was. hunting twice week.
There were many popular rib
bon winners, but none drew more
applause than c. A. Gwinn'S
Skippy, which took third hohors
in the hunter class. Mr.. Claude
owen rode Skippy in .faultless
fashion

However, for the next three
weeks, starting tomorrow, times
Will be parlous Gas our good friend
Sabatini would put it,, for during
that period the thriving Virginia
sea town will be the mecca of the
country's duckpin smashers, as
the national championships will
be disputed there.
Turn to Norfolk
With all good duckpinners, who
dutifully eat their spinach and
aspire to become supreme masters
Of their favorite method of vast
ing evenings, concentrating their
attention on the historic seaport,
few notes regarding its career
as a duckpin center. y i'll be no
more than appropriate.
It is only in the last three
years that Norfolk has taken
duckpins seriously. The natives
realized that the game was some
think worth looking into when
John s. Blick pried the lid off a
brand new 48-alley plant, the
Health Center where the tourna-
ment is being held, thus showing
the city's quota of drives to 70.
Up to that time Roane'S "a maple
ways were the only ones available,
and duckpins played second fid-
die to tenpins there. With the
new plant duckpins became all
the rage.
Duckpin Body Formed
The Norfolk Duckpin Associa-
ton was organized in 1929 with
H. P. Franklin as president and
energetic John Y. Daniels, jr., as
secretary. The body set things
a-humming right away, and in
three short years it has worked
wonders.
The association stages three an
nual sweepstakes for men. The
big stars shoot in the Tidewater
Stakes. Billy Gauer is the pres
ent champion, with Bill Inge and
John Y. Dennis winners the first
and second year. A Class B and
Glass c and junior sweepstakes
were inaugurated this season.
A sweepstakes for women has
been running for three years,
Frances Wessman, the current
victor, finally breaking Katherine
Wallis two-year reign.
Twelve leagues, twice the num-
ber of two years ago, are going
full blast. All are run on the
split season basis.
Major Circuit
The Twin City CNorfolk-Ports-
MOUTH League is the major cir
cult. It includes eight teams.
Only two of it's 56 bowlers fail to
hit the 100 mark. Bobby Creamer
is setting the pace in the 'oop
with 112; Gauer, Tidewater cham
pion, is second with Ill, and Joe
Halapin, third with 10. The
other men leagues are the Tide
watc~, Industrial, Cosmopolitan,
Seaboard Railroad "a reformed
ten-pin loop, Norfolk and West

ness Mems, Mems Church, Civic

The Norfolk Ladies League is
the city's only feminine loop, but
it boasts some exceptional talent,
including Catherine Wall, who
Saturday rolled a new worlds f.l-

MANY KINDS OF FISH KNOWN AS
 SARDINES.

Sardines growing in popularity in the diet of Americans. The Maine pack runs to about 20O0- 900 cases year, while that of California approxi- mates 100000 cases annually says Dr. A. C. Hunter, of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. So popular. indeed. are these little fish that the Am erican sardine packing industry has grown enormous ly during the past decade or SO Tn addition, we import large quantities of sardines.
 Commercially speaking says Doctor Hunter, "any small canned fish of the herring family is a sardine The herring family includes not only the true sardine, pichard, but also the sea herring or slid and the sprat brsling. The word pill chard' applies to a sardine packed in British Co., lumbia In California this pilchard is labeled 'sardine' while in Maine young herring takes the name Maine sardine' It is pilchard also that is called sardine in France Italy Spain and Port ugal while in the North Sea countries find sprats canned and labeled as brising, sprats, sardines.
 Various kinds of sardine packs go by different names 'Salacchni' is dried, salted, and pressed sardne which comes in small wooden tubs 'sar- dimes in salt from Italy are generally imported in round cans of various sizes and are put up by the dry salting method 'Anchoves in salt are prepared from anchovies in identically the same manner as sardines Fllets frequently used to garnish salads are the sides of the anehoves which after curing, have been skinned and freed from the backbone and most of the small rib bones"
 Label statements on sardine packages may read packed in tomato sauce" packed in musatrd sauce or packed in white wine" Small flat cans contain ing approximately ounces commonly used in packing very small fish These are frequently pack ed in olive oil The Maine sardine of commerce really herring, is usually packed in cottonseed oil or mustard sauce Labels also tell the buyer the true quantity of contents in the can.

Boston News Bureau9


 Depression being worldwide as we have often been told, it is wholly in order that certain symp- toms of it's course should show marked similarity in different countries That is strkingly borne out by some current news reports from Germany and England well the United States. They show that hoarder is much the same in every land.
 In Germany there is launched sweeping scheme lof merging and housekeeping of banks ordained by the Government, which for while will hold control in the largest and the third largest. This and the writing off of losses and of shares is to quidiate the bank crisis and to pay off it's bills. The con- fdent hope is that it will instl confidence and will stabilize the flow of credit. This will be par tcuary welcome to foreign creditors, whose present stake is less involuntary And particularly it is counted upon in Berlin to put an end to popular hoarding
 The thing is of course somewhat reciprocal Fer it the weakness among some German banks last summer which precipitated another kind of hoarding the world around. And that weak ness itself largely due to a prior flight of foreign credits Now in due time the task has been taken up of fortifying the German banking struc- ture permanently
 Also here the outstanding reconstruction job has been similar reinforcement both of the banking machinery and of popular confidence, the two being decidedly nterrelated. The imminent "baby bond campaign will come sort of emotional climax to the several prior steps reaching their full scope with the Glass -Steagal bill The American hoarder should reap composure as well as the German
 An interesting lesser instance is the anti-hoard- ing incentive supplied to British possessors of gold sovereigns and hafsoyereigns to sell them to bullion brokers and get the premium offered by other hoarders the other side of the Channel The owners curiously reported quite willing now to spend their proceeds when converted into paper at profit, where they had been loath to let go their gold. And some benefit to both trade and sterling is also reported.
 l Just as the Colonels lady and Judy O'Grady were sisters under their skins" much the same emotions have been governing hoarders of diverse currencies in different lands.

SOMETHING MORE TO WORRY ABOUT

Calculation in Alaska" is of the most recent Geological Survey Stephen R. Capps, well known geoogist and engineer the staff of that bureau, who has spent many years in investigations in the Territory is its author It deals with evidences of glacial periods in Alaska from early mid Paleozoc time through Pleisocene glaciaton to the present Proof convincing to the geologist has been found of recurrent ice-ages here, and MT. Capps concludes that we living in what is possibly only an intergacal stage
 We read that "the time that has elapsed since the Wisconsin ice invasion is probably shorter than half the average duration of the Pleistocene inter glacial stages Whether not the maximum stage of deglacation has been reached is not known, but it is entirely possible that sometime within the next 50O00 or 100000 years the northern part of the continent may again be subjected to submegence beneath a continental ice sheet"
 MT. Capps is thus more liberal in his estimate of our lease on habitable conditions than another geologst who recently wasted a column in New York newspapers announcing the near approach of another iee-ags say in not more than 10000 years. Whether MT. Cappss conclusions are more reason able than the other is something that will affect none of us at all Whether it be 10000 100000 years is something to worry about, but for some other generation which in it's time may have succeeded in harnessing the energy of the in such manner that glaeiation may be controlled

Gas capacity would be increased to 7,43O,000 cubic feet, more than three times the volume of the Los Angeles and 33O,OOO cubic feet more than the Lz-129, under construction in Germany.
 Gain in Lift
 The length would be 859 feet, and there would be an estimated gain in total useful lift to about 2l0000 pounds, or 4O,000 pounds more than the Akron.
 Maximum speed would be reduced by approximately Is knots, and it |has been estimated that there would be a five and one-half per cent increase in fuel consumption at a speed of 50 knots.
 To accomplish the change even if authorized now naval construct DTS believe it likely that the ship would be completed under present plans and then cut in the middle or insertion of the extra bay.
 This, they say, can be done with put sacrificing any structura a l strength, though the addition of the bay would delay the com pletion of the ship from two to three months.
