On SKATERS

Practically everyone but Hokie
Smith and his King Pin bowling
team had conceded the National
Capital League title to the fast
flying Silver Spring Skating
Rink.
Last night the King Primers
showed their contempt for the
Skaters by sweeping their set.
Eddie Keith, who not so long
ago threatened to quit bowling
because he wasn't hitting any
thing, came through with a 146
game and 403 set.
The Lucky Strike BARRIERS and
Book of Washington each picked
up lost ground when they took
the odd game from Fountain
Hams and Star Service, respec-
lively. Perce Wolfe Book OF
Washington tossed in a Alb set
and Freddie Moore Fountain
Hams) a 161 game. Jack
Whalen was another who was
going good, smashing out a 157
game and 403 set.
Lucky Strike took two from
Temple and Peoples Life did the
same with Judd and DetWeiler.

The last time I saw him work
was with the Stanton Cleaners,
and as usual, had his opponents
completely baffled with his fast
breaking curve. I can't recall
what team he was pitching
against, but I do recall he had
it eating out Of his hand.
Reminds of Grove
This youngster reminds me Of
Lefty" Grove, the king of them
all. He has the same free mo-
tion and is cool under fire like
the immortal Red Sox finger.
With proper schooling Lanahan
should come up to the big leagues.
I would like to see Walter John
son take him under his wing. In
about two years, this slender
southpaw would probably be
throwing the pill by big league
batters.
Notice, Managers
Some minor league club man.
ager should dig up Lanahan and
give him tryout. I'm sure that
manager would never regret it.
Charlie Guyon, big Injun"
coach at Eastern High School, de-
clares Dick was one Of the best
pitchers he had the pleasure Of
tutoring. He says:
"Lanahan is o natural pitch
er. He never goes to pieces
under fire like the majority Of
high school FINGERS. His fast
ball is about the best I've seen
in high school circles. A few
years from now 1 expect Lana
han to land in the big leagues"
Make yourself public, Lanahan.

SOLOns Haze Been Too
Hdsty In Giving The
BOys The Ozone Here
By BILL CORUM

eharmless stimulant is legion.
Indeed, as everybody who knows
what time it is around the tracks
knows, this practice was common
place.
Here in Florida they developed
a complex on the subject. A
year ago down here trainer
could have given his horse a dose
Of INT as big as a cannon ball
right in the paddock without
anybody raising a protesting
voice. This season they even
went so far as to suspend a
man who voluntarily came in
and reported that he thought
some of his horses had been tam
! pered with.
He was later reinstated. But
it is typical of their attitude
that they have been barring
horSemen first and questioning
them afterward. This is both
high-handed and un-American,
and was bound in time to bring
about a repercussion.
That the repercussion came on
the eve of Mr.. Widener's derby
was unfortunate, but possibly for
the best. 1t is all we'll enough
to say that the trainer is re-
sponsible for his horses at all
times. and that he should hire
honest employees who wouldn't
think of giving one Of his horses
stimulant out of spite. We
should have honest bankers, too.
But the record of the past few
years indicate that we haven't
always been so fortunate.
Little Horsemen Important
From overhearing some Of the
gentlemen involved discuss the
matter, I'm afraid the Florida
State racing commission thinks
that so long as it has Mr.. Widener
in it's corner, it will have fine win
ter racing here. This isn't true.
It's the little horseman-the fel-
low with from one to four head
who makes winter racing.
Check up and you will find that
the big stables do not support
these Southern tracks any too lib
orally. Not even Mr.. Widener,
himself, has an imposing string
here this winter. Nor his partner
in the track, Colonel Ed Bradley,
either.
So, with racing opening up in
California, Texas and Arkansas, I
should think it would be wise Of
the racing officials hereabouts to
be a bit more solicitous Of what
might be called the racing'for-a-
livelihood horseman.
They might wake up next season
and find all their racing days like
this derby day. But that has been
the history of Florida. It never
has been able to stand prosperity.
Horse racing has kept the schools
of this State open for the past
couple of years, and they are apt
to miss the boys when, and if,
they're gone.

Fla. HOrSemen Strike
But Too Late For Us
Still We're For 'Em

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March IT
During the past few months this
country has witnessed almost
every conceivable sort of strike,
including coal strikes, automobile
strikes, moving picture strikes,
taxi strikes, and walters strikes
But here in Florida today we've
got q new one-we've got a race
horse strike.
AS this Is written it looks as
though Joseph E. Widener may
have to run his $4,000 Florida
Derby as part of a two or three,
race program, and that what has
been widely ballyhooed as the AL
ligator States biggest racing day
may turn out to be a flop.
This situation developed sud
denly yesterday when the lon 6

hands and moaning in anguish.
sympathizes With Owners
The strike, of course, comes too
late for the players. Had the
noble thoroughbreds walked cut on

would have got more sunshine

the necessity of borrowing money
with which to get home.
Even so cannot but sympa.

This is the date made famous
by st. Patrick, who was said to
have driven the snakes out of

date on which B. F. Patty, who is
chairman Of the local racing body,
drove the race horses out Of Flor
ida.
Practice Is Commonplace
It is one thing to give a horse

and quite another thing to give
him a pernicious habit-forming
