The Western Threats

! Probably the best Of the West
ern, or Kentucky front, are en-
braced in a list made up OF
Head Play, Strideaway, Brokers
Tip and Charley o. 1t may be,
and can be too, that none of
these will win and that the
Derby will be taken by some
aforementioned thoroughbred of
the dozen and half probably
starters. For instance, wouldn't
1t be coincidence, if Trace Call,
q 20-to-1 shot should win in
memory of Buddy Hanford, who
was to have riddent the Audley
Farm colt tomorrow.
Oddly enough, two of the

women. We speak of Mrs. w.
Crump's Head Play and the
Catawba FARMS Mr.. Khayyam.
It so happens that the proprie-

Besides raising fine horses,
Mrs. Austin raises fine rabbits

like to say whether Mr.. Khay-

Khayyam was nursed on grape
wine from the Catawba Farm,
but everyone who saw him win
the Chesapeake at Havre De
Grace last Saturday will testify
he can run, rabbit blood or no
rabbit blood-grape wine or
otherwise.

HANFORD
IN NEBRASKA

BALTIMORE, May 5-The body
of Bernard CBuddy") Hanford,
killed during a race at Pimlico
race track yesterday, will be sent
to his home at Omaha, Neb., this
afternoon.
A certificate Of accidental
death was issued by the coroner.
Hanford was to have married
Miss Bette Davis, of Havre de
Grace, Md, this month.
The Omaha youngster who
scared to prominence in the
short span of three years, met
his tragic death astride Mrs. F.
Ambrose Clarke's Apprehensive,
the famous sports woman whose
silks were carried to victory in
the Grand National SteeplechaSe
at Aintree, Liverpool by Kellsboro
Jack.
Hanford died while being car
ried to the hospital in an ambu-
lance which rushed to his aid as
he lay PROSTATE on the track. He
was examined at the emergency
quarters at the course and re-
gained consciousness and appar-
emily appeared to be only Jared
He was to have been given a more
thorough examination at the hos
initial hI1t IT, is believed the gravity
of his internal injuries proved too
much for the popular little fellow
and he passed away suddenly.

have ridden Trace Call in the
Kentucky Derby tomorrow.

Those Rabbit Goats

Just what they do with those
rabbits they raise commercially
up at Westbury is also difficult
to establish. They may make
chicken sandwiches out of their
meat or they may yet even
make tuna fish sandwiches out
of it.
Or perhaps the Catawba Farm
rabbits are raised so that the
gals around New York will have
lots Of fine mink and seal coats
next winter. AS we say, all of
this is mere speculation.
But here's one thing that is
not speculation. It is that they
do not make corned beef out of
the Catawba Farm horses, and
you can lay all you can get right
smack on the line to that. For
instance, it would be a pure
waste of good horSeflesh to take
an animal like Mr.. Khayyam
and pack him up in tins to be
sold off the grocer's shelf.
Any horse that can win $500
in one afternoon, as Mr.. Khay-
yam did in the Chesapeake,
would make expensive corn
willy, and it doesn't take an
Administration economist to fig
ure out that.

the Indians yesterday. But it was
one of those. cases where every
break went the other way in the
later innings.
The Griffs took a 4-to-0 lead by
scoring four times in the first IN
ming. They held this until the
sixth, when General Alvin Crow
der, Manager Cronin's starting
pitcher, apparently lost his curve
the Indians collecting three hits
in a row for three runs. This rally
tied the count at the moment as
the third frame had found them
coming one run, result of Spen-
GERS triple and Burnett's single.
Take Lead Again
The Griffs went one up again
in the seventh when Myer dou'
bled and Manush singled, but
Crowder could not hold this lead
as Burnett's single and Averilrs
long double deadlocked the count
again, SIS, in the Cleveland end
of the frame.
Here Manager Cronin inserted
Tommy Thomas in the place OF
Crowder and Tommy proceeded to
retire the side, not only right
then but in the eighth, only to
see the Indians nose out in the
ninth by Porter's single. Burnett'S
walk and Averill's single.
Mel Harder twirled the entirs
game for the Indians and fin
ished in wonderful fashion after
his poor start. It was his first
triumph of the season after three
attempts to get into the winning
column,

his speech were:
They'll be a fighting ball
club, my friends. A club that
will hate to lose. They'll be ag-
gressive to the nth degree"
So far this season the Griffs
have been every one of these
things. True, they've lost several
important games, but in every in
stance they've fought to the last,
have hated to lose and have
played aggressively throughout.
Yesterday at Cleveland, Prexy
Griffith saw the team of his
dreams lose an unusually import
ant contest to the Cleveland In
dams by a score of 6 to 5.
A ninth inning rally by the
Peckmen turned the trick when
Earl Averill, Indian center fielder,
socked a single to left with Porter
on second. Of course, the latter
scored easily with the marker
needed for victory.
En- route to Detroit after the
game, Prexy Griff was in the din
ing car of the train which also
found the rest of the Griffmen
eating at the same time.
Fighting Mad
He saw a fighting mad collec-
ton of athletes around him
fighting mad because they had
let what should have been a vic
tory slip from their grasp in the
dying minutes of the game.
"The boys really hated to
lose" he said. Gust look at
them. Bet they'll tear the ferO-
ciOusness out of those Tigers to-
morrow. That's the sort of ball
club they are. Lose today?
Boy, that means look out tOmOr-
row. Watch 'em."

Doubtful Starters

doubtful STARTERS
Pompoleon is a doubtful start
err. So is Good Advice, likewise
Silent Shot. They say the latter
won't go if the track is fast. 1t
rained all night and the forecast
for tomorrow is for more of the
same. Either way, Ladysman,
the two-year-old champion, is
Stoutly holding his place as the
ranking favorite, although the
contention is that his legs are
not sound.
Only Head Play, Mr.. Khayyam,
which ran to a track record in
Maryland last week, and Sadara
are spoken of with respect. Head
Play will have plenty riding with
him tomorrow. They like him
here. They liked the way he
beat Charley o. the other day,
and they have the assurance
that his leg, slightly cut in that
race, is sound. Moreover, he is
a Western horse, which auto
matically makes him a good
horse around here.
Likes Muddy Going
Since it looks like the real
estate around the Downs might
be a little fluid, the question Of
mud runners is not to be lightly
dismissed. They say Kerry Patch
likes it. He won the Belmont
Futurity but everybody seems to
be paying him no need. Head
Play, they add, likes anything.
So does Charley o. and Inlander,
a good horse at a good price.
Charley o. won the Florida
Derby, but it seems to be the
motion that he isn't horse
enough for anything like this.

NRA Booms Marriages;
 Cab Driuers Hire Pastors

ELKTON, Md, Oct. 31.-The N. R. A. has supplanted spring as chief impetus to the business of the marrying parsons" of Elkton, Last month three divines, some of whom are employed by taxicab drivers on a weekly salary basis, tied more than 800 marital knots an all-time record for this town of 3,3GO population.
 Situated in the northeast cor ner of Maryland-where the ma jor requirement. for a marriage li- cense is possession of the fee therefor-Elkton long has drawn thousands of couples yearly from nearby Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. Ministers posted bill boards to advertise their business. The business became a racket, 7 according to the Elkton Town Council, which passed an ordi- nance making it illegal for minis ters to pay those who brought them would-be brides and bride grooms.
 The chief result of the new or dinance was that instead of the parsons paying taxicab drivers and runners, the drivers and runners went into business together and employed pastors to marry their patrons.
 The depression cut into the Elk ton marrying business. A large part of the trade came from the industrial sections and when fac- tory hands were out of their jobs, they stopped geting married. But now business is booming again.

ACTION OF U. s. MAY FIRE GUN
 IN GREAT RAGE
President Roosevelt Await ing Word from British
 on Latest Move
ONLY FRIENDLY SPIRIT PROMPTS NEW POLICY
Domestic Conditions Call for Action-Economist
 Viewpoints Given

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-Presi- dent Roosevelt today expectantly awaited British assurances that his approaching operations in European markets for gold will not arouse retaliatory measures and fire the starting gun for a ruinous race to depreciate currencies.
 The London Government has been told in friendly spirit that the Presidents plan for raising prices here is for the purpose of steadying the dollar aborad and is purely matter of domestic policy dictated by conditions within the country.
 To Buy Tomorrow
 While the President is awaiting word from London, his advisers proceeded with preparations for making the first purchase of for eign gold hoping transactions will begin tomorrow.
 With purchases abroad, new com- plicaticns may enter the situation. Gold must be paid for in pounds in London, guilders in Amerster- dam and francs in Paris.
 Financial Aspects
 President Roosevelt must buy foreign exchange and must sell dollars for pounds, francs and guilders by constantly offering dol lars, consequently increasing their supply on the foreign exchange markets.
 Many economists are agreeing that the lackino of resistance from European capitals the Administra- ton could force the dollar value of the pound constantly upward thereby depreciating the dollar in reaction to the pound.
 No Extremities
 President Roosevelt has appar- ently assured the British he con- templates no such extremities and that his prime purpose is to in- crease the price of gold abroad as well as in the United States. for it's buying effect upon commodity prices and avoid such wide fluc- tuations as have characterized the dollar and pound relationship of the last few months.
