The Lee Counselmans have
bought a delightful place about
27 miles from Washington,
near Latonsville, Md. So far as
they have been able to find
out, it was built in 1890, has
the very picturesque name,
Fertile Meadows, and is sur
rounded by 100 acres of richly
cultivated land. Their prize
winning horse, Yellow Girl, is
down there now, running her
legs off and enjoying to the
utmost her new country home.
The Counselmans won't be
spending much time there this
summer, however, as Mrs. Coun-
selman and her sons, Robert
who will be home from Har-
ward June 25, and Jack, who
has already returned from his
first year there, will be leav-
ing on June 20 for their lodge

When Alan Oocnrane Strange was kid playing ball around the Philadelphia sandlots and spend- ing his afternoons at the Phil lies ball yard in the role of bat boy for the visiting teams, his idol was Rogers Hornsby.
 The youngster watched every move of the master batsman, stu died and tried hard to adopt his style of swinging at the plate.
 The big opportunity came one afternoon when Hornsby broke a bat and tossed it to one side. Young Strange bounced upon it and carefully took it home to keep as reminder of his hero
 Now a brisk lad of 24, after de- veloping rapidly in two years of play on the Pacific Coast, Strange has been selected and installed by Hornsby as the new shortstop of the St. Louis Browns.

Gray-haired, portly and hospit- able, Joe Tinker is one of the few men along the Grapefruit Trail who takes you back to baseball s golden days, reviving memories of the old feud between the Giants and the Cubs, recalling the ex- ploits of Christy Mathewson and ''ThreeFingered" Brown.
 Tinker makes his home in Or lando, Fla. The ball field where the Brooklyn Dodgers are training this year is named Tinker Field Joe's place, in the main part of town, is a rallying ground for gab- feStS.

HERE'S ANOTHER
 ILLUSTRATION OF
 BONTHRON DRIVE.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Various defeated mile runners, and thous- ands of spectators who have thrilled to his powerhouse finishes will testify to the remarkable fin- ishing kick of Princeton's Bill Bonthon, but there also is some statistical data to prove it.
 When Bonny nipped Gene Venz- ke in the last quarter-lap to win the I. c. A. 1,500-Meters in the comparatively slow time of 3:57.4 he continued around the track 1l9.6 more yards to the mile mark, seeking to set record.
 The time as 1,500 meters had been so slow, however, that the timers didn't even bother to check the mile time
 But unofficial stop watch-h hold CTS caught him at ALA.
 That means Bonthon travelled those 1196 yards at the rate of 7.21 yards a second-a' pace that would carry him a quarter mile in 61,6 seconds!
 And that, piled on top of 300- yard sprint he had put on to cut down the 30-yard advantage Venz- ke held at one stagel

RAZORBACK QUINT GETS EVEN BREAK
 IN ALL RESPECTS

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, April 3. Three of the seven Southwest conference basketball teams fin ished the season with a percent age of 500, but the University of Arkansas was. the champion "breaker-even" of them all.
 The lanky Razorbacks split each of their six series. That would not have been so unusual if they had played each of their rivals nome and home" but the Hogs played two-game series with three schools here and the same number of sets on the road.
 Nor can the explanation be of- fered that Arkansas managed to win from the stronger teams at home but lost to the weaker teams on the road. The Texas Aggies, who placed second, were met at College Station and Rice, which tied for third, was played at Houston.
 Arkansas also won one of the two games Texas Christian lost all season and lost one of the two games which Baylor won all sea- son.
 Aside from Texas Christian and Baylor, the top and bottom quint- cts, the Southwest conference ag- gregations were the most evenly matched in years. Texas A. & M. in second place finished only two games ahead of Southern Method ist in six.

 Wade had driven across the country many times,' Rosley said, and knew all the short cuts. He also knows how to handle q car to get the best speed out of it without straining. Consequently we travelled rapidly and made marve- lous time"
