SPORTS
Signs Are Encouraging
In Many Sport Fields
Big Golf Entry
By KIRK MILLER

There are many signs on the
surface of sports indicating
prosperity is no longer just
around the corner, but rather
actually here. Possibly the man
in the White House should be
given credit.
The patronage at the ball
parks the opening days of the
season indicated the people gen.
orally have little more money
to spend for recreation than
they have had for several years.
From Louisville, KY, came
word that 48 hours before the
famous Derby which will be run
tomorrow, that hotels have neen
forced to turn down all registra-
tlons. The reduction in the
price Of the purse from $4,000
to $4,000 hasn't made the old
blue grass classic any less a
magnet to the throng.
All Of which is very encourag-
Ing for the general athletic out
look, but the real tip-off that
sports is staging a big come
back is to be found in the num-
Der of entries received by the
United States Golf Association
for the National Amateur Open
to be played next month at
Merton Cricket Club, Ardmore,
Pa, near Philadelphia.
Record Entry in 1880
Ten hundred and fifty willful
golfers are among those who
are to attempt to qualify for
title play. This represents an
increase Of 1876 over last springs
entry and is the first instance
since 1880 that the list has
swelled over that Of the previous
year.
That year established the re-
cord number of entries received
for the amateur, LIT making
bids during that famous period
when Bobby Jones was cleaning
up every major golf honor in
sight.
In 1881 the entry list fell to
f,141. The following year it
sunk to 1,011 and last season it
went under the thousand mark,
915 to be exact, for the first
time in cent amateur history.
All Of which statistics prove
an encouraging sign for 1884
which is witnessing surprising
activity in golf, not only in
Washington but throughout the
country, according to those en-.
gagged in merchandising golf
equipment.

Ruth Slow Afield

The recent visit of the New
York Yankees to washington
established pretty well in the
minds of the fans that while
Babe Ruth is still likely to
raise rumpus at the bat from
time to time, he certainly isn't
getting about in the field as
of yore.
He is waiting for those
ground balls which roll out
there and is showing distinct
difficulty in bending over to
handle them. preferring to drop
down on one knee and let
them come to him.
He defers to the center
fielder for most flies hit to
right center and otherwise is
playing his position as befits
a gentleman in the rocking
chair age of baseball.
But the old boy still has
color around the plate and has
managed so far to keep his
batting average we'll around
the 300 mark.

Leroy DugGn Fights
Nick NiccO Tuesday

Larruping Leroy Dougan, crown
prince of WaShington's club fight
ers, reappears at Portner's Arena
in a fighting semifinal Tuesday
night, meeting Nick Nicco in a
scheduled eight-round main sup
port to the Covelli-Charley Conner
headliner.
Though defeated in two Port
ner appearances, the little Italian
has virtually stolen the show on
both occasions, his ability to
"take it" and keep fighting back
establishing him as a prime
favorite among Washington box
ing followers.
The Washington times., 1934-05-04

The present board consists of
twenty Prince Georges County
residents, prominent in political,
social and public life. who arc
scheduled to meet in Upper Mari.
boro, Md, today to plan their
course in the light of the demands
of those who have controlling in
terests.
Salaries Cut
Several years ago they received
an annual salary of $1,500, besides
a block of stock. Since then, sal
aries have been shaved down in
the interest of economy until today
they receive only $500, it is said.
Now, a new move is being made
by prominent stockholders to cut
out salary altogether or make it
practically negligible.
The other important onslaught
that the Prince Georgeans face is
that of cutting the number OF di-
rectors from 20 to less than ten.
In the face of that demand,
twelve Of the directors are reported
as refusing reelection at The
annual meeting held two days ago,
which fifteen of the directors
attended.
At the annual meeting, Incl
IDENTIFY, no dividends were declared,
but a report was made showing a
net profit for the last meet.
Fail To Name Manager
The Prince Georges directors
were initially named to aid in gov.
erning the Bowie and Upper Marl-
boro race meets in the interests of
clean racing and the residents of
the county. These directors be-
gan to realize that their services
were becoming less necessary, how
ever, when they failed to muster
sufficient strength to name their
own race manager last year.
Now the group called "Balti.
more interests" which includes
prominent Baltimore sportsmen,
evidently feels that representation
of Prince Georges on the board is
unnecessary and ask the changes
with that in view.

Chase Me Race Horse
Runs for Any JOCKEY
To SeUen Wins

marvellous 5-year-old, Chase Me,
owned by Mrs. John Bosley and
her daughter, Sarah. Of Balti-
more.
Up until the time he was a
4-year-old, Chase Me was mere
ly family riding horse about
the Bosley estate, outside of the
Monumental City, and more Of
a pet than anything else.
Last season the Bosleys de-
cided to enter him in compe-
tition, and he not only won his
first race, but five straight
events thereafter before winter
came.
Day before yesterday at PIN.
lico Chase Me won his seventh
consecutive race. taking the
lead in the mile and 70 yard
event and never relinquishing
it.
Now we find racing fans ask.
Ing themselves how much far
ther this Chase Me will go and
will he be good enough to equal
the record of Colin, which
started as 2-year-old in 1907
and won Is straight events?
Certainly he is well on his
way to at least approach that
record and apparently has
much il his favor. For in
stance, in his seven victories
he has been ridden by four
different jockeys, Gilbert, Be.
lizzi, Sullivan and Porter, prov
ing he is just a running fool,
needing no especial handling.

POLI'S

Tonight is the last chance Wa terburians have of seeing su- preme double feature program in- cluding "Peck's Bad Boy", featur- ing Jackie Cooper, and Take the Stand" with Thelma Todd and Jack LaRue.
 For four days starting tomorrow Polls proudly presents the first actor of the stage and screen, George Arliss, in "The Last Gen. tleman'', worthy successor to 'The House of Rothschild."
 This distinguished screen star al- ways welcome in Waterbury comes back in his latest picture, which right at the present moment is breaking all records at the Roxy Music Hall in New York, city and in all the larger cities of the coun- try where it is showing.
 A typical Arliss picture cast has been again assembled and support ing Arliss will be Edna May Oliver, Ralph Morgan, Janet Beecher and Charlotte Henry.
 One of the most surprising f1n- ishes ever shown on the screen will be part of this picture and the management of Polls asks it's patrons not to divulge the finish to their friends, let them come in and be thrilled, as you will when you see the picture.
 On the same program and vieing with the feature picture is an as- sortment of the usual carefully Sc. lected shorts that have now be- come a part of the high-class pie ture programs of Polls and this one is no exception. Among the short subjects to be shown are Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly com- edy, a sport reel, scenic, cartoon and then the news with Edwin Hill as commentator.
 Starting Wednesday for three days only Polls will present an- other of their sterling stage shows This time it will be "Schooldays On Parade, one of the best that has been here yet. with a cast or 40 players and its own band, which should thrill all lovers of the living stage. On the screen there will be Warner Baxter, Vince Bar. nett and Herbert Mundin in Hell in The Heavens"

height of adornment Is a coat of gold paint, are jammed to capa- city.
 tail bars are roaring with busi- ness from D. m. until a. m. Hotel night clubs and the ex-speak- easy clubs pick up where the others leave off, and keep the whirl going until sunup.
 In between the four leading "class" movie houses are doing every week, business of S55,000 with "Kid Millions," $SO,000 with we Live Again." $50,000 with Evelyn Prentice," and S35,000 with "White Parade".
 The diner who would seat at the Hollywood, the Paradise, the Palais Royal or the Casino De Paree, must go early to get table. The after-theater prowler who wants to finish the so-called even ing at the Cotton club, Small's the Ubangi, the Place Piquale, or any one of fifty other night clubs does well to engage his place we'll in advance.
 Amusement hunters are paying $350,000 a week into the treasuries of the 26 >theaters now operating, not counting the innumerable bur lesque shows, flea circuses, freak museums and hot-dog stands that clutter up what used to be Times Square. The leader of all these enterprishes is "The Great Waltz. which is dragging down $42,O00 weekly and making people glad they paid it.
 Besides all this, there are such things as the National Horse Show, which brought out more hard boiled shirts and white ties, more ivory-headed canes and Oscar Hammerstein hats and ermine wraps than were ever seen in Madison Square Garden.
 And finally, if the social do- ings at the swanky Waldorf As toria are an omen of the future, the merry, mad chase for pleas ure will keep up until next spring.
 Among others who are dazzled by the lavishness of spending and the desires of people to stay up fate chasing joy, are the people who run the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad. They have added two more trains to the suburbs late at night. One leaves at midnight and the other at 1 a. m. ,t

STRAND

Cecil B. DeMille's spectacle Cleopatra" heads the double fea- ture bill opening at the Strand to- day.
 With Claudette Colbert, Warren William and Henry Wilcoxon in the principal roles. the film boasts of a grand array of star talent, a varita- ble army of extras (more than 5000 men women and children took part) and a supporting cast that includes Ian Keith, Joseph Schildkraut, c. Aubrey Smith, Ger trude Michael, Irving Pichel, Will liam Farnum, Robert Warwick, Harry Beresford.
 The film story starts with the am bilious ruler of Egypt using the mighty Caesar as foil against her brother and co-ruler. From Caesar, after he has been killed, Cleopatra drifts from lover to lover until Marc Anthony, noble Roman sol dier, falls in love with her.
 And it is this love, which has echoed down through countless pages of history and fiction, that takes up the greater portion of the film. Tn fast-moving scenes of beauty, color and spectacle this deathless love portrayed.
 The manner in which the two lovers finally defy the entire world. and find perfect peace and happi- ness brings the film to a most sen- sational finale

More than 900 applications for membership in the Jefferson, Dom ocratic club were announced by Attorney Joseph Navin, president of tNlt organization at a meeting held in the city court room last night. The applications have been made by residents of all sections of the city.
 Attorney Navin addressed the gathering relative to the appoint ment of a governing board to re- lieve the strain of preparing for future activities from the shoulders of few.

 Plans will be mapped out in the near future for dinner dance that will take place in January. It IS expected that this occasion will be one of the seasons highlights.

M The Local TheaterS
STATE

"Gentlemen Are Born" starring Franchot Tone with Jean Muir, Margaret Lindsay, Ann Dvorak and the Broadway juvenile stars Ross Alexander, Nick Foran and Robert Light comes to Warmers State theater tomorrow for four days at the head of another splendid dou- ble feature program.
 The story, written by Robert Lee Johnson, shows four college chums, each of whom is sure he is destined to success when he leaves college. One intends to be great newspaper man, an- other is to be great architect; the third, nationally famous college football star is confident that he will make a record as a coach, and the fourth is to fol- low in his wealthy fathers foot steps.
 aFte takes them in hand and does things to them. Of the men, one dies a felon; another breaks physically and spiritually when his father, unable to withstand the financial crash commits sui eide. The other two defy fate.
 The picture, however, is not all tragedy. No sweeter romanccs can be imangined than those en- acted by Tone and Margaret Lindsay and Alexander and Jean Muir. Ann Dvorak, contrary to the usual roles in which she is cast, has tragic part as the wife of Nick Foran, the one member of the quartet who is unable to cope with present day conditions.
 There is plenty of humor, touches of light comedy and music including an original col lege song written for the pro- duction by Sammy aFin and Irv- ing. Kahal.
 The companion feature will be Gift Of Cab" with cast of 30 stage, screen and radio per- sonalities, headed by Edmund Lowe and including Ruth Biting, Phil Baker, Victor Moore, Hugh O'Connell, Henry Armetta, Gloria Stuart the Beale Street Boye, Gene Austin and others. Performances tonight conclude the engagement of "The Scarlet, Empress" and That's Gratitude"
