lovely house that can be sublet

six rooms, bath, three porches,

living room, which has a brick
fireplace with mantel was fur
nished with comfortable chairs,
divan, Winthrop desk, radio and
other attractive pieces of furni-
ture. The dining room was
quite a good size and could seat
eight or ten comfortably. Off
the dining room was screened

would be able to enjoy for quite
a while. The kitchen was quite
up to date and had a large
electric refrigerator and every

bedrooms, all comfortably and
attractively furnished, two of
which had double beds and one
a single bed; a large screened
sleeping porch and a complete
bath with shower and linen
closet. There was another linen
closet in the hall. The floors
throughout are hardwood and
the entire house has just been

a large dry basement with

Team To Start
Practice On
Sept. 18
Bv GARRETT WATERS

The Palace A. C. gridmen are
believers in an early start.
At least they have plans for the
coming football campaign already
mapped out, which plans will be
carried out September 18 when
the first practice session of the
season is listed.
The Palace eleven, lest it has
been overlooked, is one of the big
teams in Washington in the un-
limited class. Every year the lads
from Southwest play a long and
tough schedule, not to mention the
fact that many important games
are won-ofttimes resulting in
championships.
The team does not plan playing
league ball this year. Instead an
independent schedule will be
tackled-a schedule that includes
the cream of the football crop in
the city and vicinity.
The first game is an excellent
example of what the Palaces have
in store for themselves and their
ardent followers. It is against the
Richmond Arrows, of Richmond,
Va, october 6.
See Big Season
The Palaces believe they will
fare quite we'll in their first at
tempt at independent football.
The team has signed several new
players while the remainder of
the roster is balanced with the
"old guard" of years gone by.
Buddy Bussink, former Gonzaga
and Catholic University back,
heads the group of newcomers.
Others include the Ruedi brothers,
Joe and Andy, both tackles; Frank
Williamson, center at Georgetown
last year, and Fred Schwarzman,
guard, formerly of the Mohawks.
The "old guard" list is well
known to local football followers.
Clarence Merryman and Ed Scan
Ion are the ends: Joe Hudson is
tackle; Percy Vernon and Doll"
McDermott, guards, and Jimmy
Dearborn, Frank Tonker, Ed
Healy, Mike Scanlon, John Scan
Ion and "Pie" Juliano, backs.
Still others of the old players
are John Trundle, end; Ray KEN
per, guard, and "Snorky" Shlorb
end.
NitOwitZ Manager
''Tank" Nitowitz, formerly Of
the Meridians, has been corralled
to act as business manager.
"Tank" already has an interest
ing schedule arranged-a schedule
he will announce in full later. He
is handling the list and schedul'
ing more games at National 1887.
While playing league ball." the
Palaces can look back to splendid
records in various classes. They
started as 125-pounders. A title
was won in that division, followed
by championships in the 135 and
$50 pound classes. Last year the
first half title was captured in
the National City unlimited class,
The team dropped out of the cir
cult shortly following this success,
deciding suddenly to play indie
pendent ball.

ing light of all Gold Cup boat
stars entered in the Presidents
Cup Regatta this year--an event
which comes late next month on
the Potomac River off Hams
Point.
At least, it is the slogan of
Horace Dodge and Hubert H.
Lucker, Of Detroit, owners and
operators of the boat, "Impshie, D."
who hope to create a stir by de-
feating the El Lagarto in what
will be the feature race of the
Presidents Cup affair.
There is one big reason for
this attitude of Dodge and Luck
er and their Gold Cup associates.
Refs has won the event so many
times that they want to take the
Lake George champ down a peg
or two.
Lucker is in Washington now
inspecting conditions along the
Potomac, the course of the "big"
race, etc, 1t is not known yet
just who will drive the "ImpShi,
but regardless of whether it is
Dodge or Lucker, it is the aim to
push the boat to the limit in order
to bring home a winner.
Lucker believes the "Impshi"
has an excellent chance. The
boat competed in the event last
year under the name of the Hor-
net and led all the way until an
accident in the stretch made it
impossible for it to win.
At that time the "Impshi" was
owned by Aaron DeRoy, also Of
Detroit, and driven by Bennett
Hill.
The boats name has been
changed because DeRoy h d
taken it over from the Hodge
Lucker team" only a few months
before the race.

Horse racing starting mas come
through many transitions. Early
races were commenced" with the
drum, then the bell, nett with the
flag. Many of these old-time
starts were walk-upS; the starter
gave the signal as the field was
walking up to him. But he had
a recall flag; if he didn't like the
break he signalled a man with
a flag up ahead and that official
waved his banner at the jockeys,
they pulled up, and returned for
another try-and maybe another
and still another. Veterans can
recall to you races Of the '80S and
'9Os that were not started until
there had been upward of 80 re-
calls. Often fields were at the
post from 20 minutes 20 as high
as two hours. The horses scored
and scored" from as far up
stretch not as trotters and PAGERS
do but they were moving in many
of the attempts to get a start.
All this was wearing, exhausting.

the spectators. Australian racing
men felt The system was wrong,
experimental with a barrier de-
signed to effect standing starts,
Americans heard of the idea, tried
their hands at perfecting such a
device. Several were tested, none
proved satisfactory.
An Australian made a barrier
work, his racing countrymen
hailed it. One of them brought
it to San Francisco. Tried there
for two weeks, our horsemen gave
it the okel.. That was in January
of 1896. Before the year was out
all American tracks were using
the Australian gate or an Amer
lean one patterned after it. With
in five years England, France and
other European countries were
starting races with gates.
France perfected barrier that
would not break. It was tested
here at Belmont Park, but our
jockeys and horses were too
quick ION the draw for it-that
is, for their own safety. One
horse and jockey broke into it
and the rider was almost decapi-
tated. Twas discarded, though
its sponsors still swear by it.

lrivalS in the first two SECONDS OF
a race.
Stall gates, now almost univer-
sally used in America, were per-
fected less than 10 years ago. A
compartment for each horse was
provided. All but a few horses
are quite willing to break from
them; now and then recalci-
trant brute refuses to enter his
stall or, forced in, turns a soner-
sault and perhaps ruins himself
and injuries to the jockey.
But the main objections to stalls
for starting races is voiced by
breeders, owners and trainers.
Many aver that horses should not
break from flat-footed start,
that it is too great a strain on
ankles and tendons. These men
advocate the walk-up start. Per
haps they are right-about the
detrimental effect of a standing
start on horses fragile legs.
But walk-up starts are difficult
to attain, as hard as starts
under the old scoring" system
of so years ago. Quick-witted,
alert jockeys find ways to gain
step on the starter" just as
some human footracers find a
way of beating the gun"
Unless all starts are of the
walk-up variety if some are to
be walk-ups, while others are
from a standing break-if some
tracks adopt the walk-up and
others stick to the stall gates or
barrier-then all form" will
disappear from racing. StudiouS
professional and semi-professional
players will have no chance of
winning, or breaking even. For
results of races started from
moving and standing starts are
seldom the same-the running
times are radically different and
unreliable. And unless a handi-
capper or player knows in ad-
vance what a start will be-mov.
ing or standing-he has no way
of computing the result. He is
merely taking a blind shot, trust
ing to luck.
Form" is the foundation of
American racing. To be formful,
the starting must be uniform
Left to the impulsive discretion
of starters, and the wits of willful
jockeys, it cannot be uniform.
