Younger Set Inherit Enthusiasm O
Elders For "Spot Of Kin9s

Control of "big-time" racing
in the United States is gradu-
ally falling into the hands of
the younger generation.
And how they love it!
The lads and lassies who a
few years ago were watching
the bang-tails run from fathers
or mothers clubhouse box are
now down in the paddock CIV
ing their own particular pets
the once-over before they are
paraded out to the track.
The John Hay Whitneys,
Jock" and Liz" were among
the first of the youngsters to
take racing seriously. For her
wedding gift, young Whitney
gave the former Elizabeth
Altemus a horse farm down
in Virginia. and for their
honeymoon they took a run
over to the other side to see
what they could pick up in
England and Ireland as a
nucleus for their stable.
The two are always the
first in the paddock at every
track. And Mrs. Whitney,
slim and pretty as a debu-
tante, goes over her favorite
with as much intelligent . at
tention as does her trainer.
Nor do the two, except when
they have guests they SIM
PLY cannot neglect, bother to
return to their box for the
race. Arm IN arm, they hang
breathlessly over the paddock
rail. The raIlbirds know them,
and wealth enG caste are for
gotten as millionaire and pau
per compare notes.
Name in News
Recently the name of Mary
Parker Corning" has begun to
appear in the racing news.
The CorningS, senior, have al
ways been enthusiastically in
tereSted in tEe game, but now
it is Miss Mary who does the
cheering for the family colors.
Laura Elizabeth Curtis, pretty
young daughter of Mrs. James
F. Curtis, of Washington, has
turned her back on society for
the stable. Taught to ride and
to love horses by no less an
authority than Mrs. Ambrose
Preece, under whose tutelage
so many Capital youngsters
have learned the first principles
OF horSemanship, she has gone
in for the sport with all the
enthusiasm her handsom
mother devotes to politics, So
ciety, welfare work, and a score
of other interests.
Fathers Heritage
Tommy" Letter, son of the
late Joseph Letter, was in
structed by his fathers will to
dispose of the Letter stable.
But no instructions (even con-
Sidering his dad had left him
any such) could cool young

Sport of Kings. He is, by the
way, now at Saratoga. Where,
also, is Mary Corning, her

call Goes Through

Portland, Ore, March 24-(U. P.)
In the midst of drive for recall
of Mayor George l.. Baker and two
city commissioners. Portland was
faced to-day with complete paraly-
sis of municipal government If the
recall is successful. No machinery
exists for replacement of the three
city officers--unless they name
their own successors before the city
auditor certifies the election vote.
Petitions asking recall of Mayor
Baker and Commissioners John NJ.
Mann and r. Earl Riley were be-
ing circulated by the "citiZens' COM
mittee of fifty" together with one
directed against Lotus L. Lngley;
Multonmah County district attor-

City business would be at a stand
still if the recalls were approved.
The only possible solution, one le-
gal authority said to-day, would be
for the recalled officers to elect
their own successors. Members of
the commission could read news
paper tabulations of the vote, and
resign one by one voting in a sue
cessor after each resignation.
