Nautical-minded Washingtonians are

are no restrictions except that your
craft shall use only zephyr power ~

It was the second Of . series Of eight
races for sail boats of all classes. There
were catboats, sloops, snipes, canoes
and several which were starting new
classes. They were all Handicapped and
grouped at the committee boat. The
picture they presented awaiting the

of uniformity.

THE masters tournament, which

blanca, former world champion, and
Samuel Reshevsky, who made such an
outstanding record in this country
last year. This is the first visit of
Reshevsky to Europe since he left
Poland, his native land, about thirteen
years ago, to display in this country
his unusual abilities as a child player.
This also will be the first time Capa-
blanca and Sammy have met. and
considerable interest centers in the
ticipating, including Sir George
Thomas, British champion. and w. A.
Fairhurst of Scotland. Places also are
reserved for Mir Sultan Khan, former
British champion: A. Lilienthal, Brian
Reilly and Miss Vera Menchik, world
woman champion.
On July to 20 will be held the
annual tournament at Yarmouth for
the British championship, and the
British Chess Federation announces
that an international tournament of
the first magnitude Is planned for
1896.
TNGLAND and France already
r. have announced their intention
of sending a team to the inter-
national team tournament, to be held
at Warsaw, Poland. France will be
headed by Dr. Alekhine, world cham
pion.
A chess match by correspondence
between Illinois and California teams

Nor would the losers nerves be quits
so tangled.
Another possible improvement would
be to have the terriers, which are
the noisiest Of all dogs. benched in
corner by themselves. Then they
would not be so likely TO start all
the rest of the menagerie to going.
ID UT it was q swell show! And NOT
ID the least swell part was tbs
party which followed the judg-
ing Friday night. The banquet room
)tel Hamilton was reserved
for the exhibitors and their friends,
who were treated to a delicious mid
night supper, good music, a slick floor
and little private floor show staged
by Joseph O'Hare, president Of the
club, and entitled "All by Myself" His
hoofing was good-so good that he
was presented a special prize for best
in show by Mr.. James w. Spring, who
came down from Boston to sort out
the group winners for best Of all
breeds.
TT IS surprising how often the breed
er of one variety of dogs will keep
one or two Of another breed purely
as pets. Mrs. George Hosmer of Hos
mer's Bulldog Kennels. kept two Bos-
ton terriers. one conventionally marked
brindle, Peggy. and the other, a tan
and white, La Tootsie. Recently,
Peggy became afflicted with a cancer
GUS growth, and being old, took to her
bed in the certain knowledge that she
had but a short time left to live.
La Tootsie. too, seemed TO sense
the imminent end of her constant
companion. For three days she stayed
right with Peggy. Every time the sofa
on which Peggy lay was accidentally
jostled, Tootsie moaned and sighed as
If she were in pain, although poor
Peggy lay quiet. Hoping 10 spare her.
Mr.. Hosmer put Tootsie in another
room, but she would not have it. She
fused and ragged and scratched at
the door until she was allowed to re-
join her friend. When at last Peggy
died and was buried. Tootsie lay by
her grave and refused to eat for three
days. Now whenever she Is allowed
out for exercise, Tootsie visits the
grave of her little comrade.

y deal OF pride to his own record
as an example of what college pitch
ers may hope to achieve. He still
holds some big league records, notably
three victories pitched in one world

games and never was defeated in a

longest game on record in the Ameri-

Some of the most notable victories

Negro Athletes Star.

TT SEEMS exceedingly unusual that
Negro track and field athletes
are able to star to such an extent
IN two particular events, the broad
Jump and 100-yard dash. There have
been many outstanding Negro athletes
In these two events in the last few
years. Some time ago Harvard pro-
duced a great broad jumper in
Jourdin, Michigan had record
holder in the same event in Hub
bard, Ohio State now has one in
Owens, while Columbia and Temple
each has an exceptional performer.
Only little while ago another great
Negro athlete at Marquette was tear
ing up the century dash. AS far as
the broad Jump and 100-yard dash
are concerned, it seems that Negro
athletes are supreme. and that these
are the two events in which they
excel.
It seems that Manhattan College,
which won the mile relay champion
ship at the Penn Relays Saturday.
Is pretty well fixed for material for
the next few years. Besides taking
the varsity mile title, the Manhattan
Freshman four won the champion
ship race for freshman teams. Man.
haitian likely Is to be right hard to
beat for the next two or three years
ut least.
Four Of the five men who placed
In the javelin throw in the Penn
games threw the spear over 200 feet.
That shows real development in that
form Of competition, because it has
been only a little while when it was
not expected that the victor would
get that distance.
Maryland, for the first time since
1t has been sending teams to the Penn
relays, came back Saturday night
with two victories, one in cham
pionship event. It took the sprint
medley event on Friday in the cham
pionship class and Saturday captured
the general race in which it was

THE MOVE TO AVERT WAR.

President Roosevelt has set up the barrier which should keep the United States out of any conflict in Europe or Africa at this time. By proclamation, the Chief Executive called into action the Neu- trality Act which prohibits the sale of munitions or implements of war to either Italy Ethiopia in their present trouble. In addition, citizens of this country who travel ships of these nations will do so in the future their risk This, of course affects only Italy as Ethiopia has vessels the high seas.
 The action marks the first official recognition by any country that a state of exists no formal the neutrality of the United States True, Italy lenge, interpret that portion of the shipping act unfriendly against her because Ethiopia has no ships but it is doubtful if she will under the present circumstances.
 The outstanding point of the present action and the fact that probably will keep this country free from any entanglrment across the water is that it is in direct with the policy that led into war in 1917 During that conflict this country in- sisted upon the right of neutral nations and their citizens to freedom of the That is free and unmolested passage wherever they might be- Under the present act the citizen must beware when he gets off of American soil and he at his own risk on ships of warning nations.
 It should mean no matter what the final result in the present trouble that this country is free o embarrassing situations that might lead to war Il would appear that the President taken the right timely action under the power granted him by Con- gress and it is probable that it will lead the rest of the world to see the benefits and thus avoid another international clash.

WEDNESDAY,, OCTOBER 9, 193s
 Mingled good and evil planetary influences are discerned in the horo- scope for today, according to as trology. It is day to walk eau tiously among ones fellow men. In the early hours bankers should profit, for there may be news of special interest to them. This is an suspicious day for paying debts that have been ignored.
 There is a sign believed to en- courage secret intrigue and double dealing. Deceit may be expected even among friends. This is time when many illusions will be lost including some associated with the summer vacation.
 Women may meet disappoint- ment, but toward evening they come under a benefic direction of the stars.
 This is read as an suspicious time to present plans to persons in au- thority. It is also rule of the stars Inder which it is wise to end pro- jects that have proved to be futile.
 Astrclogers stress the importance of facing facts about ones mistakes, including those connected with love affairs, and they counsel immedi- ate right-about chan ges, even though they entail sacrifice.
 Educators and intellectuals now are under configuration that promises progress through conserv- ative policies. The stars seem to promise success through slow and 'eliberata progress.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of jour neys and there may be illness that brings changes. Loss of relatives will be attended by inheritances.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intelligent and far seeing. Subjects of this sign may gain great prominence.
