ed in 1929 as the prize in wom-
ems cross-countyy air derby from
Santa Monica, Calf, to Cleveland.
It was won by Mrs. Phoebe Fair
grave Omlic, of Memphis, Tenn.
The following year it was posted
as the prize for similar race from
Long Beach, Calf, to Chicago,
where the 1880 races were held and
was won by Mrs. ODonnell who
raced the distance in Is hours and
13 minutes.
The award was offered in 1881
as the annual prize for the women's
closed course speed classic, and was
won by Maude TAFT Moriarity of
Springfield. Mass. She averaged
l87.574 miles per hour over the So
mile course.
The trophy itself was produced
at a cost of more than $4,000 and
is said to be one of the handsom-
est ever offered for a competitive
sporting event. The design is SYM
bolic of women in aviation. and de-
picts a woman flyer standing atop
Of the globe. The figure holds a
plane in her outstretched arms.
Besides the race for the aerol
trophy, there will be the Amelia
Earhart trophy race for the George
Palmer Putnam cup, an award off
cred by the husband of the trans
Atlantic flyer. This closed course
race was established, officials said,
to encourage women to develop
their capabilities for speed flying.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. = The
clatter of army tanks and the
pounding of cavalry hoofs down
Pennsylvania avenue during the
bonus army fighting a few days
ago stirred for one old-timer here
fond recollections of happier
Washington, gone forever.
He remembers Pennsylvania ave-
nue. as a street of good cheer. Its
curbs were lined with inviting old
restaurants and cafes. They
stretched the whole area of the
recent war zone. In the good OLD
days congressman and senators,
yes and even cabinet officers, drank
their way up the peaceful avenue.
They would begin in the cool OF
the evening at Old Mades, at Third
and the avenue, slipping cooling
frosted juleps while fish caught in
the pool behind. the old wooden
hotel were broiled over wood Goals.
Then up the avenue they moved.
The last stop very likely would
be Old Shoomakers. Its cobweb
covered rows of whisky barrels,
holding the finest barrel stock in
Washington, sheltered in the cool,
musty air of this ancient tavern,
held q special fascination. 1t was
Little Phil Sheridan's favorite stop.
The place was presided over by a
dignified barkeep of the old school,
Gus, who taught Sunday school and
ran his business with the solemn
dignity of an undertaken.
This is the Washington that
drifted back into the memory as
the noise of the advancing cavalry
made strange history at the foot
of the capitol last week. A con-
vivial sleepy, peaceful capital,
where men argued hotly on the

YANKEE RUNNER
REMAINS SILENT
ON FOUL CLAIM
BY GEORGE II. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.-Ralph
Hill, 24-year-old lad from an Ore
gon farm, was the toast of the
Olympic games today-a champion
among champions.
He gained that distinction by the
manner in which he lost an in-
portant race
Obviously fouled in the 5000 meter
run by Lauri Aleksander Lehtinen,
of Finland, ne lost to Lehtinen and
had no word of protest to offer.
In fact, he spent his time offer
ing excuses for Lehtinen, worlds
champion at 5000 meters, rather
than advancing his own claims.
Lehtinen and Hill came into the
final stretch one-two, with scarcely
yard between them and Hill, in
one of those last minute finishes,
attempted to pass the Finn.
He went outside and Lehtinen,
after look over his shoulder, also
turned outside, and directly in the
path of the flying Hill.
The Oregonian broke his stride
and turned to go inside but it was
too late. Running the inside lane
he finished second to Lehtinen by
inches.
A boo that could be heard blocks
away went up from 10000 fans.
They believed that Hill would have
won the race easily without the
interference that Lehtinen assert
edly offered.
The United Press talked to ID
sports experts, including those Of
rival press associations and news
papermen of New York, Chicago,
Los Angeles and Buenos Aires. OF
the group 13 expressed the opinion
Lehtinen's foul was deliberate. The
fourteenth thought Hill had been
fouled but that the action was un-
intentional.
Hill Makes No Protest
Hill, himself, was the calmest
man in the stadium as everyone
waited for the judges decision.
"Fouled?" he said to the United
Press in an exclusive interview,
well, wouldn't care to say that"
Did it break your stride?' he
was asked.
"I'll tell you something" he an
swered. cat the end of a 5000
meter race I don't think anyone
has a stride"
would you have won if you
hadn't been fouled?"
II haven't said that I was fouled,"
he answered. "It was a pretty close
race and maybe would have won."
The finish was so close that an
other foot and Hill would have
been ahead.
What are you going to do noW?"
Hill was asked.
IT guess I'll go back home and
plant potatoes" he said
And Hill, a tall, skinny farmer
boy, left the stadium for Olympic
village, to pack his suitcase and go
back to his Oregon farm.
A long time ago Baron Pierre de
Couberton, founder of the modern
Olympic games, said "the important
thing is not the victory but the
fight; the essential is not to have
won but to have fought WE'LL

Small Crowd At
Political Rally

That Ell Centro's Thursday night
political rally gave more voters a
chance TO listen to candidates than
has any other meeting in the coun-
ty was the concensus of opinion
today as the candidates went on
with plans for the next meeting of
this kind.
A comparatively small crowd
gathered at the city park to view
and listen to the candidates, but a
larger audience was reached by
the first radio broadcast of a po-
litical rally made this year.
Outside speakers included George
Burnham, Republican candidate for
United States congress, Tom Hur-
ley and former Mayor Austin, all
of San Diego. Imperial Valley
candidates for all offices were out
in force.

The events that happen in a

"Skyscraper Souls" playing Sunday
and Monday at Fox Imperial air
dome, the daily doings of the
thousands of employees and execu-
tives in a large New York office
building have been used 70 produce
a film that offers something new
in the way of human interest.
Each of the 102 floors of the
worlds greatest skyscraper offers
new dramatic interest, the sus-
pense rising story by story until the
climax is reached. Gratitude, love,
intrigue, humor, pathos, tragedy,
romance, reckless daring-all are
entwined in the plot.
Warren William, the new idol of
the screen, has the leading role,
with Maureen !O'Sullivan, winsome
Irish lass, heading the support,
which also includes Gregory Ratoff,
Anita Page. Verree Teasdale. Nor
man Foster, George Barber and
Jean HerSnOlC.
For tonight, the management
offers another Of the popular double
bills when Tom Mix, the prince of
western stars, and Zane Grey, ia
nous writer, will be presented.
Mix, and, of course, his famous
horse, Tony, are seen in "The
Texas Bad Man." Tom being the
bad man who is not so bad. For
a time Mix assumes a double role
of peace officer and outlaw, but
eventually he succeeds in breaking
up gang of outlaws who have
been terrorizing the state Of Texas.
1t wouldn't be a Mix film with
cut romance and there is plenty
of it in the current film. Fred
Kohler, Lucille Powers, Franklin
Farnum and others are in the
cast.
Zane Grey, whose novels have
been best sellers for years, also
holds equal rank as a deep-s9a
fisherman.
In South Sea Adventures, the
noted author is seen in his role
of fisherman, fighting monsters Of
the deep that the average fisher
man doesn't even know exist. This
film is instructive and entertain
ing as well as being highly thrilling.

There was a mellow flavor to
Washington before the machine
age, the age of tanks and gas
bombs. A yellowed volume, written
by Thomas Fleming at the begin
ming of the century, tells in homely
phrases about the Washington Of
that day, describing the new con-
gresham:
"He is usually attired after the
manner of statesmen, with closely
buttoned frock coat, highly polished
boots, and if from the west, wide
brim, slouch hat.
IF he halls from an eastern con-
stituency his head is likely to be
surmounted with a bright, tall
silk hat.
HE struts along Pennsylvania
avenue with head and shoulders
thrown well back, clearly conscious
of his new-found Importance, and
woe betide the old-time friends
who would dare to address him
familiarly.
This state usually lasts about
month. Then, as he becomes
familiarized with his high station,
he gradually unbends until at the
end of the second month of his
term he is most likely to be seen
accepting an invitation to the Ear
of the house at the expense of
some visiting constituent"
