ENATOR WILLIAM G. McADOO
- of California was too fond of pol
itics and travel to suit his wife, whose
interests were in sculpture, painting
and home life. So the former Eleanor
Wilson, daughter Of the wartime
President, went before Judge in Los
Angeles with her complaint and in
AZ minutes had been granted an inter-
locutory divorce decree. Mental
cruelty" was the charge, and Mrs.
McAdoo testified that the senator had
been living almost entirely in Wash
ington for two years, and that it was
impossible for her to reside in the
National Capital because the climate
there was injurious to her health.
Senator McAdoo did not contest the
divorce, and there was a property set
Element the details of which were not
made public. The custody Of the two
children was vested in both parents.
1t was revealed that the McAdoos have
been separated since last December.
DAYS of torrential rain in the
~ mountains Of southern Poland re-
suited in raging floods that poured
through the valleys, drowning perhaps
as many as three hundred persons.
More than $1,000 were without food
and shelter. The property loss was
tremendous, all the crops just har-
vested being ruined.
Many popular resorts crowded by
summer vacationists were cut off.
Eighty-three camps Of Boy and Girl
Scouts were evacuated, after the
youths experienced narrowing difficult
ties.

erything hits him wrongly. Food is
not right and medicines are no good,
and a thousand and one other things
furnish grounds for complaint. This
condition nearly always precedes the
time when the patient gets out of bed
and takes a few steps again.
The circumstance to which l have
referred is such common occurrence
that it seems to me there Is no better
illustration of the condition in which
American business now is represented
to be. 1t is highly significant. In the
first instance, it shows, according to
the experts, that business has enough
new life blood to start fighting back
against administration plans and pol
icies that cramp its style, and. Sec
ondly, vigorous opposition never has
failed to be healthy thing for the
country as a whole.
From the information l get in many
quarters, it is yet too early to tell
whether commerce and industry is 60
ing to be unit in any one course of
it's opposition. The strictly recovery
phases of the New Deal are not going
to be attacked, even by the Republican
national committee That question ap-
parently is settled. But business in
terests apparently and quite logically
are distinguishing between recovery
and reform. Take the legislation that
created the commission for control of
security sales and policing the stock
exchanges, as an example. frankly
do not see how the Republican leader
ship or business interests can expect
to get far in criticism Of that, even If
it is solely reform proposition. On
the other hand, business interests can
and will attack such projects as the
government manufacture and sale of
electric power in open competition
with private plants. such as is taking
place under the experiment in the
Tennessee valley.

are arising out of the work so speed

Reports from these sectors are
only mildly encouraging, but au-
thentic.
Tomorrow may be the grand
opening Of the hardhead season,
and then again it may be just
another day. However, a few are
sure to take the anglers hook.
Weather Beneficial
The warm weather of the past
few days is certain to have had
a beneficial influence on the deni-
zenS of the deep.
Fishermen who have four days
to spare and really want to be
certain of catching them, need
only to get in touch with Lou
Steiner. Steiner has arranged a
four-day fishing trip to Ocean
City, Md, where the fish are re-
puted to be biting ravenously.
The party leaves Monday after
noon, from VOLTS Sport Store,

Trout are biting hard at Wacha-
preague, Va, and blues are be-

and that the half kindly, half
Sardonic smile.
Appearance Fools
Which shows how easy it is to
be fooled by appearances, for
when the opportunity presented
itself the Little Rock boy left
his mentor quickly enough and
apparently without compunc-
ton.
Speaking of champions, one
goes today in the Metropolitan
Handicap at Belmont Park. Per-
hapS the most worthy turf
champion we have seen under
colorS since Samuel Riddle
called it a day for Man O. War
and shipped him out to Faraway
Farms for the duration.
The name of this champion
is, Of course, Equipoise, and &C.
cording to the entries Mrs. Eliza
beth Bosley'S undefeated Chase
Me will try to match strides
with him today. Somehow, race
horses have a curious way Of
finding the right name and
Chase Me has yet to see horse
shoes in front Of him in seven
starts.
But there have been no Equi.
poises behind him and probably
won't be if Mrs. Bosley elects to
put him to the test that tells
today.
Indeed, at Pimlico last Satur.
day, Long Boy" one Of the
best known and best Of the
clocking brigade, was fairly beg
ging Damon Runyon to bet on
Chase Me if this race should
come up, as it has come up to-
day.
Sharp And Ready
"Long Boy" is much better
than a green hand when it
comes to sizing up horses in
training, too. But they must
beat "Ekkie' for me when he is
sharp and ready as he is now,
and especially at a mile.
I freely admit that if they
string the distance out far
enough and pack enough
weight on the bulldog son
Of Pennant - swinging that,
it is possible to stop him. But
weight would also stop Dillinger,
if you could just find some
handicapperS with nerve enough
to put it on him.
At a mile, as he is today, I
mold that Equpoise is as close
to unbeatable as horses come,
and if Chase Me can make
him chase him, then Mrs. Bos-
ley has a true CHAMPION in her
barn and she need worry no
further about placing him. He
will need no placing if he can
beat the Whitneyite. All he
will need is a rider.
Equipoise, you may or may
not know, has a new hoof on
his bad foot this year, and the
MeSsers. Whitney and Healey
have him out after that money
winning record of Sun Beau'S
in earnest. Trainer Healey,
incidentally, deserves great
credit for the condition in which
he has brought his horse back
to the races this spring.

According to consensus Of
opinion, Frank "Huck" Wynne
and Joe Sullivan were the out.
standing players Of the series.
Star at Western
Wynne, who catches for West
ern, was not only the leading
batter, but displayed a strong
throwing arm which had the op'
posing performers sticking close
to their base. He also was a
whirlwind in snatching bunts in
front of the plate and mailing
the runner at the initial corner.
Sullivan who is the ace Of the
champion Eastern Indians staff,
pitched and won all four of their
games.
His southpaw slants were
poison to every inter-high bat
ter. Not one hitter was able to
solve his twisting curves with
regularity, and, as a result, he
compiled great number Of strike
outs.
Four From Central
Four players from CentraIs
ranks were honored on the initial
team; three from Eastern; two
from Western and one Roose-
velt. Tech, last year champion,
failed to gain even one player on
the first team but managed to
grab a position on the second COM
bination.
Francis De Stephan's (Western)
brilliant fielding and timely hit.
ting gave him the third base job.
The diminutive Italian got prac-
tically everything that came his
way and his throws were almost
invariably accurate.
Leonard De Lisio, Central,
named the first baseman, because
he fielded rings around the rest
and come through with hits in
opportune moments.
Cleon Chaumbris, also Of Gen.
trail, was unanimously selected as
the left fielder. His extra-base
hitting enabled Central to capture
second place.
Bryant, Nolan Named
Bill Bryant and Tom Nolan, of
Central and Eastern, respectively,
took center and right field posts.
Both fielded in excellent fashion
and hit way above 300.
Carlton Giovanetti, the lone
Roosevelt selection. who was
awarded the keystone position,
was the most polished player in
the series. He made many re.
markable stops and catches and
was Roosevelt's best hitter.
Charlie Cuozzo, of Eastern, was
given a slight edge over Angelo
Chumbris, brother of Cleon Chum-
bris, because Of his superior hit
ting.
Claude Cowan, Central, who
pitched fine ball all season, was
named the second pitcher.

CANOEING

With the decision Of the inter
national Olympic committee to
have canoeing as a "demonstra-
ton" sport, Washington water
sports followers are reminded of
the feat of the Washington Canoe
Club 10 years ago at the Olympics.
Like the race to be held in 1886,
the 1924 games added canoeing
only as an exhibition. The Wash
ington Canoe Club divided honors
with Canada, each winning three
races. The Canadians won the
single SOULS and the Washing.
tonians the double SOULS.
Local canoistS were agreeably
surprised to learn their favorite
sport had been added again and
haven't decided whether to com.
pete or not.

The End of Another
Beautiful Friendship
Observation-Disclosures.

NEW YORK, May 19.-Word
comes from the Pacific Coast
that Kid Chocolate, the pugiliS-
tic symphony in ebony, is play
ing hide-and-Seek with his
erStwhile manager, the dapper
Senor Luis Guitterez, and I am
sorry. While Guitterez searches
for him in Los Angeles, the pat
ent leather keed with the rolling
white eyes is signing for fights
on his own hook in Frisco, indi-
eating that another famous ring
partnership has come to an end.
I repeat that I am sorry, but
not because Kid Chocolate
means much in the boxing busi-
ness any more, or ever will, but
because in winding up his ball
OF yarn he did not wind up with
Guitterez, with whom he started.
It is, strictly speaking, a mat
ter Of great unimportance, since
as q great boxer Chocolate is as
spent as q country boys last
dollar on Saturday night, and
Guitterez was always just an
other manager. But the two Of
them together were as odd and
As picturesque combination as
We are apt to see in many a
year in the fighting business,
and it is unfortunate that they
could not have faded out, as
they arriVed-together.
Fails to Appreciate
AT no time did I share the en-.
thuSiaSm of Hype Igoe and
other of my colleagues for the
beautiful boxing of the ebony
skinned boy from the streets
and alleys of the once gay CAPT.
tai Of Cuba. No doubt this was
because I did not really appre-
Ciate such boxing. My idea of
O great fighter-if we must have
prizefighting-iS one who leaves
his opponent there for his pant
ing seconds to carry away, and
Chocolate certainly was never
that sort Of ring warrior.
But even though some Of the
keed's brilliance as a boxer may
have been lost on me, I was
never blind to the obvious fact
that the Chocolate Guitterez
combination was one Of the most
colorful partnerships in the last
10 years Of boxing. A partner
ship comparable in some ways
to that between Dempsey and
KearnS, Deschamps and Carpen-
tier. Leonard and Gibson,
Sharkey and Buckley, and
Schmeling and Jacobs. I mean
by this primarily that it was
one Of those combinations where
you could not mention the name
of one without Immediately
thinking of the other.
I shut my eyes and see them
still, the nervous, fidgety, sleek
and graceful little fighter and
the tall and nonchalant mana
ger, leaning languidly on the
ropes, and rewarding his meal
ticket now and again with a
terse and clipped phrase in
Spanish, you thought to your.
