.ESPEY IS UNIQUE
! AS SPORTS STAR
He Is Only Washingtonian to
Give Up Title to Try
Another Game.
BY ROD THOMAS.

DDIE ESPEY, the new Camp
r. bell Sweepstakes champion, is
l. the only sport addict within
the ken of WaShington's vet
ersn sports scribes who ever quit the
throne of one game to try his hand
at another.
For two years, as a lad Of Is and 16,
Espey ruled the District pocket billiard
players. Picked as a sure thing to 90
places in the bigtime of the green
cloth, he turned suddenly to bowling
and now you find him, billiards. COM
pletely forgotten, riding the crest of
another wave.
Il gave up billiards" said Espey
today. because liked bowling better.
The exercise appealed to me-"
It's Stand-off.
90 THE Capital lost a prospective
y wizard with cue and ivory and
gained one in the realm Of min
eralite and maple, for Espey's victory
in the Campbell Sweepstakes was all
that was needed to inspire the young
man with that well nigh limitless con-
f1dence which is prime asset Of your
truly great bowler. The same test has
broken the confidence and shattered
the careers of several duckpin shoot
ers who seemed certainly headed to-
ward the pinnacle.
There is strong probability that
Espey will become the foremost duck
pin bowler of all time In Washington.
At the age of 81, when most bowling
careers barely have begun, this popu-
lar youth has achieved the goal which
is the ambition of every star in the
city-a victory in the gold beglam-
CURED Campbell Sweepstakes.

Here's a fish tale, apparently
without a fiction motive, and Ger.
tainly without equal in this part
Of the country.
A pound-and-a-half fish resem'
bling a golden carp fell out of the

in the yard of Elwood Barnes,
I'LL Stuart St., Ballston.
Neighbors say they saw a flash
in the sky and allowing their gaze
to. follow it to the ground heard
a "plop."
It was the fish.
They declare there was no one
in the house to throw it out, nor
were there any planes overhead
to drop it.
Whoever is responsible for the
fish landing in Mr.. Barnes yard
can have it if he calls and claims
it, he said today. 1t is on ice.

BEER CONTROL
ST|RS FIGHT
INC0UNTY
Alexandria, Arlington
Oppose Regulatory
Power of State

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. 10.
Organized opposition to regula-
tions of the State alcoholic bever-
age control board of Virginia,
which leaves counties and munich
palities powerless to regulate sale
of beer, was being formed in Alex
andria city and Arlington county
today.
Officials of both places were
complaining that the early morn
ing beer drinkers of nearby
washington were swarming into
Virginia as soon as the deadline-
2 a. m.-for the sale of beer in
the District prevented further i'm
bibing of the foamy beverage.
Under Virginia ABC board
regulations, only that body has
the power to control sale of beer
and the local towns and cities are
helpless to order beer parlors
closed at any particular hour.
Ordinance Overruled
Officials Of Alexandria and Ar.
lington declared their courts were
being cluttered with drunken, dis
orderly crowds that invaded the
all.night beer establishments in
Virginia.
An attempt was made by the
Alexandria city council several
months ago to regulate the oper'
ating hours of these establish
mentS when it passed an ordl.
nance, on the recommendation OF
Capt. John S. Arnold Of the local
police department, ordering the
beer parlors to close at midnight.
Local dealers, however, learned
through counsel that such an or
dinance was invalid inasmuch as
it was contrary to State laws. With
this assurance, they made test
case of the ordinance and Judge
James Reese Duncan, of the civil
and police court, dismissed the
case on the grounds the city was
without power to regulate the es'
tabliShmentS.
Mayor Backs Fight
Mayor c. E. Dawson, and other
city officials who favored enforce
ment Of the ordinance, said the
case would be carried to the State
Supreme Court on the grounds
that any municipality, under the
State Constitution, has authority
to pass laws regulating its police
activity.
Over in neighboring Arlington
opposition to the restrictions set
out by the State ABC Board was
likewise being formed.

T0PARLEY
Job Insurance Plan
To Be Subject of
Controversy

Runways for the speeding Of
the Districts social security pro.
gram were to be creased today,
with the prospect that by tonight
two Of the three points would
receive congressional approval
and the third would be the SUBJ
ject of bitter House-senate con-
ference.
Representatives Henry Ellenbo'
gen CD of Pennsylvania, House
author Of the measures, revealed
that he intends to ask the House
today to agree to the Senate
amendments to the blind and old.
age pension measures, and will
move to send the controversial
unemployment insurance proposal
to conference.
The Senate made three major
changes in the House-approved
local unemployment insurance
measure. One of the changes,
and the most controversial, elimi'
mates the House provision calling
for District government con.
tribution to the insurance fund.
Another would reduce the time
during which benefits would run
from 26 to 16 weeks. A third
would place the administration Of
the fund under a local board.
The Pennsylvania Representa-
tive has asserted that he will
make a determined fight against
the Senate changes, but it is be.
lieved that thc Senate conferees
will stand their ground in the
conference fight, especially since
District officials have made a
strong plea backing the position
of the Senators.
Although Congress will adjourn
this week, it is not believed likely
that the wide differences of opin.
ion between the House and Sem
ate on the unemployment meas.
ure will cause it to die in con-
ference, since all are agreed upon
the vital necessity of some kind
of unemployment insurance legis-
lation, and it is believed one
group will give in in time to per-
NIT approval before Congress
ends this session.

Letters of recommendation from
hundreds of high schools, clubs,

''I can do anything they can

He is a memory expert. He can
recite the 48 States in IA seconds

tails exclusive horse-loving set,
ask either one of the two Toms
still employed there.
There is Tom Davis, about IS
years old, now the "tack man"
whose principal duty is to look
after the saddles and brides of
what is now a riding school. Tom
Davis, native of England, has
been living and working at the
old establishment for more than
II years. He will tell you:
"There were $50 members
when first came here. When
the club was at its height,
about 16 years ago, we had as
many as 14S horses in the sta

The Other Tom
The other Tom-Tom Camp

there for q years. This Tom
started shoeing horses in Ireland
as a boy. Forty-four years ago
he came to America. He said:

grets that the Riding and Hunt
Club had moved to another local
ity, but he is still at his forge
shoeing the horses now rented out
to riders.
Tom Davis said:
"There is more riding now
than ever before"
Tom Campbell broke in:
"Sure, saddle horses are COM
ing back. Maybe, it's because
the rates are not so high. But
before only the wealthier people
rode; now the working people
ride too"
Both Toms have blue eyes, gray
hair and graying moustaches.

there are two parrots, four canar

ten thoroughbred wirehaired fox
terriers, and a tiny goldfish aqua

AS to his fox terriers, Mr.. Davis
remarked:
'I've got the greatest bunch

place would be carried away II
it wasn't for the dogs. They
catch two or three rats every
night"
Mr.. Davis has been breeding

Was Not Asked

Internal strife broke out today
within the thinning ranks Of "the

7 trouble arose after Congress
passed a joint resolution, which
has been signed by President
Roosevelt, authorizing the appro-
priation of $4,000 as a public
order fund for the SEVENTEEN an
nual national encampment Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic here
in September, 1886.
Protest Voiced
Upon hearing Of this action. the
few remaining members Of the
Department of the Potomac. G.
A. R., and it's allied and auxili-
aries, decided they did not want
the encampment here. So James
G. Yaden, president Of the G. A.
R. Memorial Corporation, wrote a
letter to the Commissioners, max
ing an engagement with them for
a conference with himself, John
M. Kline, department commander
of the local G. A. R., and Mrs
K. P. McElroy, of the auxiliary
The letter read in part:
81 am reliably informed that
the Department Of the POtO-
mac, G. A. r., was not con.
suited about the introduction
and passage Of this resolution
and furthermore the Depart
ment of the Potomac, G. A. R.,
and its allied organizations,
feel that while it would be a
great honor to the District Of
Columbia and to them to have
the SEVENTEEN national encamp-
ment held in the District Of
Columbia in September, 1886,
they are not physically able
properly to entertain the ma
tiOnal encampment Of the
G. A. R."

Committee, who sponsored the

that Washington had already

campment.
Site of the encampment will
not be chosen until next month
when the C. A. r. holds its sixty
ninth national encampment in
