Il am going to do a lot Of hard

planned when interviewers asked
him his reasons for going to Maine
at this unkindly season. I'll chop
down a lot of trees, run through
woods and rough it generally to
improve my legs and wind for my
bout with Max Baer.
Il am going to remain up there
for five weeks and then return to
Pompton Lakes, N. j., where I
will start boxing. I feel silly doing
all this preliminary work for an
opponent like Baer, who, in my
estimation, is nothing but a great
big strong guy and the dumbest
boxer the world has ever seen. But
it is well to be on the safe side.
While Sharkey was pouring

How about you. Jack?"

Other more traditional features Of
the program will be class for horses
that have not won blue ribbon in
any of the four club shows this sea-
son; one for ladies' saddle horses;
nom winner jumpers: pairs Of jump
ers; ladies' hunters; handy hunter;

now mapping out a unique program
for the cherry blossom festival horse
show to be held April 10 on the foot
ball fields southeast of the Tidal
Basin. Noted for his originality in
planning horse exhibitions, Col. Scott
is running true to form in this task
and promises to supply Washington
ians with q type Of equestrian en-
tertainment never before offered here.
There will be little to remind the
spectators of the usual tanbark fiesta.
Col. Scott has decided it would not
hurt people in general and even
horsemen who cannot see beyond a
hunter or a saddle horse to know
that there are also work horses. troop

Consequently he has arranged to
start off with a grand parade of all
the types-riding academy horses
mounted by people who ride riding
academy horses; polo ponies by polo
players; work horses driven by men
who can handle one horse. two horses,
four in line; hunters by ladies and
gentlemen who hunt.
One exceptional feature will be the
ruling that all entries are to be spe-
cially selected, not accepted at ran
dom as is the practice in the ordinary
exhibition. The animals seen in ac-
ton will be chosen for the suitability
to demonstrate the uses and best
features of their types.

which comes in the show ring when
conformation judging is done will be
