BRADLEY FARMS, Md, May
Stanley Greene, I'd, Leesburg.
Va, won the feature event of the
early days schedule OF the Ma
tional Capital Horse Show here,
the horsemanship test for children
under IL years of age.
1t was the third time in row
the great little horseman from
Loudoun County had won this
event. The two outstanding per
formers in this horsemanship class
for children we're young Greene
and Miss Margaret Hill, of Wash
ington.
When the judges asked the two
to exchange mounts, young Greene
won by remarkable show of
equestrian tact. Once on Miss
Hills pony, the Virginia lad was
soft and relaxed, handling the
rather fractions poney with the
cleverness of a seasoned horseman.
He was neither stiff nor worried.
On the contrary, little Miss Hill
encountered some difficulty handl-
ing young Greene's poney, Queen
of Sheba. 80. -.
In the open class. Roland Daw-
sons beautiful saddle pony, Model
Man, scored a brilliant victory.
Ably handled and beautifully
shown by little Pauline Longworth.

Discovery Is Threat
HorSemen here today were of
the opinion that Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt's Discovery would run
a much better race than he did in
the Derby last Saturday. When
this writer asked Trainer BUD
Stot1er what his chances were in
the big classic, the famous trainer
said:
'WeII, this is Discovery's
training ground. He practically
trained over this course for the
Derby and the PreakneSs. He
seems partial to this course, and
besides, If you are q hunch play
er, did not Discovery whip Cav
alcade here last year, on NOvem-
ber 4, to be exact, when my
horse ran second and CavaIcade
third? You know the old saying,
history may repeat"
Thus Trainer Stotler was conf
dent that the chestnut son of Dis.
play and Ariadne would redeem
himself today and probably make
history. The colt will probably
rule as second choice in the wager
ing, with the Brookmeade Stable
the odds-on favorite.
George Strate, trainer CT Agra
rian, who ran third in the Derby,
stated that he was not sure that
he would send Agrarian postWard'
He said:
'Why should I run after Cav
9lcade? I tried him three times
this year. Twice he set track
records to beat me, and in the
Kentucky Derby he was nearly
seven lengths in advance Of my
horse. It's my opinion Agrarian
is q good cOlt,a but I am not
foolish enough to think he can
beat Cavalcade."
NE MARK SEEN
With the traCk at its best. the
mile and three-si: -teenthS, the dis
tance of the PreakneSs, a new
track record my be set. G. H,
Bostwick'S Mate, back in 1881
stepped the distance in 1859, when
he beat Twenty Grand. But
many horsemen believe that Cav
alcade, if he is forced to run, may
equal or break this mark.
There will be no advance sale
of tickets on the PreakneSS. The
totalizator, according to Manager
Mort Mahoney, won't permit ad'
vance sales. However, Mr.. Ma
honey says his crew Of 10 sellers
can operate the giant machine
fast enough to cater to $4,000
fans.
The race will be broadcast over
both the Columbia and National
network. Glen Mccarthy, Of New
York, will broadcast from the top
of the judges stand.

THREE.GAME.
SERIES ENDS
HONESTLY
BY GARRETT WATERS

by GAKhETT WAIEhS
They began like champions.
They set the town agog by their
play.
It was a swell start for Mickey
Cochrane, making his debut as a
big league manager. But unfor-
tunately, Mickey's we'll wisherS,
became enthusiastic too soon.
For the Detroit Tigers, if you
please, are not the team today
they were about two weeks ago.
Their second division standing
tells this story, while reports from
brother teams, who have seen
them play, more than qualities
the idea the Motor City crew is
sadly lacking in championship
form.
Always That Chance
OF course, there's always that
chance that better things might
come to pass in the future play Of
Cochrane and his men. Cochrane,
a fiery leader If ever there was
one, will be the chief reason for
this, as he'll have his performers
playing ball or know the reason
why.
But right now the outlook is
far from bright as the team is ex-
periencing a decidedly tough time
Of it, on this, the first eastern
invasion Of the year.
On the strength of this, the
GriffS should grab themselves a
couple Of much needed victories
in q series which has three games
on schedule. The set begins to-
morrow and lasts until Tuesday,
when Cronin will hurry his gang
off to Cleveland where the Griffs'
first western invasion Of the cam.
paign commences.
The Tigers will come to town
with a fair looking lineup in
each Of the positions. The in
field will find such men as Hank
Greenberg at first; Charley
Gehringer, at second; Bill Rogell
at short and Marvin owen at
third.
Goose Goslin, who played here
last year, will be in left field;
Gerald Walker. in center, and
Pete Fox in right. Mickey
Cochrane himself, will feature
the catching department while
the pitching will employ such
FINGERS as Fred Marberry. Carl
Fischer, Vic Sorrell, Elon Hog
Sett, Schoolboy Rowe, Vic
Frasier, Tom Bridges, Eden
Auker, Joe Larkin and Luke
Hamlin.
Strong Utility Men
Joyner White, dependable out
fielder, and Bill Clifton, kid in.
fielder, headline the utility de-
partment. White takes Walkers
place in center field ever so
often, while Clifton stands in
readiness to fill in at some in
field position.
Tom Bridges, Vic Sorrell and
Fred Marberry have been doing
the best pitching for the Tigers
to date. Hogsett has filled the
relief role most Of the time, while
Fischer and Auker have turned
in commendable efforts here and
there.
But the Tigers are still a second
division club. Maybe Cochrane
will get things working more
smoothly later on. It is hoped so,
as the league needs another team
besides Cleveland to uphold the
power of the West.

meeting.

they were all dlSpeIIe0 To-Day.
Today it can be safely said that
the veteran minor Lacquer has
won himself a real job with his
new club following his efforts Of
yesterday, which found him play
ing stellar ball in the game that
the GriffS lost in the late mo-
ments to the st. Louis Browns,
4 to 8.
Gets Two Hits
Heralded as a supposed weak
sister" at bat, Phillips discounted
this fact Immediately by slugging
out two hits in four times at the
plate-hits that gave every i'm
preston that he might continue
as a consistent batSmen.
His first bingle was q line
double to left in the fifth inning
which had power written all over
it. His next was a homer into the
left-field bleachers in the seventh,
which at the time appeared as If
it might represent the margin OF
victory for the day.
Fans who haven't seen the new
backstop in action as yet will get
their chance during the next few
days, or before the Griffs depart
for the West on Tuesday.
Eddie will be behind the bat in
two games today, as the Griffs
and Browns are scheduled for a
double-header, beginning at 1:30
o'clock. This twin bill is some
thing new for this time Of year,
incidentally, as in past seasons it's
been league rule that no double.
headers could be played until
after the teams had make their
respective first trips around the
circuit.
But it seems the magnates
changed the rule at the baseball
meetings last winter, making it an
optional matter for the teams in
volved, meaning that if both
agreed to a double-header. they
could play one. Today's attrac-
ton will find Tommy Thomas and
Monte Weaver working for the
Griffs and Ivy Andrews and
George Blaeholder for the Browns.
End Of Series
The two games. will end the
Browns stay here. Yesterday,
Hornsby's crew got off to a flying
start by nosipg out the Gr1ffs in
the tenth inning Of q decidedly
tense 4rto-3 battle.
Home runs almost won the
fracaS for the GriffS in the early
innings as Manager Joe Cronin hit
one in the first inning with Man
ush on base, and Phillips hit an
other in the seventh with the bases
empty. This latter clout Of Phillips
put the Griffs ahead, 3 to 2, at the
time.
But one-run rallies decided the
verdict for the Browns in the
ninth and tenth. In the ninth,
Cliffs double and Vests single
deadlocked the score at 3-3, while
in the tenth Pinch Hitter Camp
bells single, with Hamseley on
second, decided the issue.
Lefty walter Stewart hurled
excellent ball for the Griffs until
the tenth, when Hemsley gathered
his double with two out. Then it
was Jack Russell who gave up the
hit to Campbell for the decision.
Bump Hadley, Jack Knott and
Buck NewSon were the Brown
hurlers. .Hadley pitched until the
eighth, while Knott and NewSon
hurled the ninth and tenth, re.
spectively, Knott getting credit
for the victory,

Failure of Bond Issue to Get
Funds to Build Jail
Causes Action

Fairfax county, Virginia, has
lost its $4,000 public works loan,
granted by the PWA recently for
construction of a new county jail.
The loan was rescinded by Pub
lie Works Administrator Harold
L. Ickes, along with loans in other
States totaling $11,579,450, when
the county officials failed to exc
cute bond and contract agree
mentS before the "deadline" set by
the Administrator.
IckeS recently threatened to
withdraw the loan made the
county if action were not taken
Immediately to put through the
agreements. He set February 19
as the dead-line.
Fairfax county authorities
pointed out to the Administrator
that the agreements could not be
signed by them because of the de-
feat of the bond issue recently.
Franklin county, Virginia, was
another to lose it's PWA funds.
The $4,000 grant made by the
Administration for a county build
ing improvement program was re-
scinded by the Administrator.
Ickes pointed out that this prof.
ect was under construction when
approved and that no new en-
ployment would have been created

PROGRAM
officials Not Satisfied With
Date on Bonds Offered to
Guarantee Costs

Prince Georges County's $400,-
900 public works-school construc.
zion program was blocked today,
"A hours before the Federal Gov.
eminent had agreed to purchase
the bonds, by a technical ruling
by Public Works officials about
bhe bonds date of issue.
Nicholas Orem, county superin-
Eendent of schools; Richard F.
Cleveland, son of Grover Cleve-
land and counsel to the Board Of
Education in negotiations over
the program; Ogle Marbury, coun-
sci to the Board of Education;
and members of firm of bond
attorneys of Baltimore wrestled
with Public Works authorities to-
day in an effort to save the pro-
gram.
"Speed" Disappears
The latest move is only one of
O long series that has delayed the
program since the day the Pub
lie Works Administration rushed
county officials into petitioning
for the loan on the promise that
the money would be available in
30 days. That was last August.
Mr.. Orem and his attorneys
contend that the bonds, okayed
by a bond firm named by the
Federal Government, are legal
when they carry the date of issue,
which was last November, while
Public Works officials say the
bonds must carry the date of sale,
which is scheduled for tomorrow,
as the date of issue.
The change would necesSitate a
change of resolutions authorizing
the sale of bonds, and change of
the bonds and other papers, which
would indefinitely delay the pro-
gram.
Precedents Found
Mr.. Orem presented a list to-
day Of previous bond issues, &C
cepted by leading bond firms of
the nation, in which the date of
issue is either before or after the
date of sale. None of the firms
had specified what the Federal
Government is demanding, it is
pointed out.
