Draws 10000
Late Specialized Victorian

GOSHEN, N. Y. Aug. IA
100 years ago Goshen was a
sleepy little village nesting in a
hollow of the Ramapo Mountains.
Since then it has sent its sons
forth to fight in the Mexican
War. the late unpleasantneSs be-
tween the States, the Indian wars,
the Spanish War and the World
War.
Today it is the same sleepy
old village, doing peacefully be-
tween wars and talking horse
always talking horse-for this. Of
course, is the home Of Handle
tonian the Tenth, from whom all
great trotters draw their blood
lines.
A century ago Hambletonian-
bought for 5000 by a man with
an eye for a great horse-Was
roaming the hills hereaboutS, en-
riching his young owner to the
extent of some $4,000 in stud
fees, and laying the foundation
for that long line of horses which
was to stamp the American
trotter and PAGER as the greatest
on earth.
Today some of his descendants
will go to the post in the tenth
renewal of a race named in his
honor-the Hambletonian-which
is to the trotters what the Ken
lucky Derby is to the runners.
Most of the 10000 who have
turned this little village into a
roaring horse camp will string

The Riggs lads believe they Will

Ion, The team is well balanced
to the extent it's lineup is spotted
with many talented ball players,
both of local prominence and
players of former college reputa-
tion.
Mensh Heads Group
Bennie Mensh is one OF the
local group. Veteran sandlotters
remember this player as a star
in the days when the Jewish
Community Center, Rialto and
Takoma Tiger mines were the
class of the amateur field. Ben
ME served terms with all Of them
at various times, and inserted his
timely hitting to advantage for
each team.
Then there is Mike Hunt. for
mer Wastern High luminary.
Mike has been catching for the
Riggsmen most of the season, but
Friday will return to his old
love- -shortstop-because OF the
appearance of Earl Hancock, an
other star veteran. who'll be es-
saying a comeback on the sand
lots.
Still another is Wally Stearns,
also a former Western High star.
Stearns is the first sacker of the
team. Sam Cherry, second base;
Jim Bridges, right field, and
Chick Hollidge, pitcher, complete
the list of local lads. The latter
was an understudy to Joe Sulli-
van at Eastern last spring-a
youngster who has turned in some
slick hurting for the Eiggsmen
since the start of the campaign.
Ford Cramer. pitcher, tops the
group of former college stars.
He hurled for Amherst College
several years ago and featured
his career with a decisive victory
over Princeton. Country" Win
ters, pitcher, and Wayne Fort,
center fielder, complete the list
Of college lads.
Former Catawba Star
Winters was formerly of Ca
tawba College. of North Carolina.
while Fort is from a Baltimore
school.
Riggs boasts a list Of competent
utility men, as all good teams
should. Oscar Bielaski is one,
while others are Jock Hutchinson,
Jack Snead and Sam Talbert. Bic
laski is an outfielder, Hutchinson
and Snead are infielders, and Tai
bert catcher.
In preparation for Fridays
game, the Riggs play the w. B.
Hibbs nine at the Roosevelt sta.
dium today at 5 p. m. The Hibbs
are leaders of Section A Of the
Bankers League. The game, how
ever, is only of a practice nature
for both teams. since they cannot
meet in regular fray until after
the schedule is ended. At that, it
might be a tune-up for the cham
pionship series coming later, par
ticularly if the two win their re-
spective section titles.
One other outside" game IS
scheduled by the Riggsmen. It is
for Saturday, when the Union
Trust nine of Baltimore will be
met in Baltimore at p. m. This
contest will decidedly put the
Riggsmen on edge for that very
important setto with National
Savings next Tuesday. They hope
so, anyway.

One woman was rescued after being
overcome by smoke and 35 other
guests rushed from their rooms partly
clad shortly after am. yesterday
when fire broke out in the kitchen of
the Occidental Restaurant, 1413
Pennsylvania avenue.
The rescued woman, Helen Rhea,
20, of the l400 block of Harvard
street, was taken down a ladder at
the side Of the building by Sergt. C.
P. Poole of No. Is Engine Company.
She later was given first aid at
Emergency Hospital, where her con-
dition was described not serious Her
room was in the two-Story building in
which the kitchen and restaurant are
located.
Many guests next door in the Oc-
cidental Hotel also left their rooms,
after being awakened by hotel en-
ployes. The fire, however, was con-
fined to the kitchen and part of the
upper floor of the building at 1413
Pennsylvania avenue. Several guests
decided not to leave their rooms, after
seeing firemen had the blaze under
control.
The guests who fled were quartered
shortly afterward in the Willard Hotel
Charles B. Simmons, manager of
the Occidental, said the origin of
the fire was undetermined and eSti-
mated the damage at approximately
$4,000. Two alarms were turned in
by hotel employe.
Repairs were being made today to
the kitchen of the restaurant, which
is temporarily closed. Simmons said,
however. the restaurant will open

the company union plan, as against
affiliation with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. in the election held

The election represented the first
test of strength of the A. F. of l..
in a Washington industry. The vote
was 776 for the company union and
go for affiliation with the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers.
Officials of the electric company
denied the statement, made by
Charles L. Reed, assistant to the
president of the brotherhood, that
coercion had been used to influence
the voting. Reed repeated his charge,
made in letter to the Regional Labor
Board on January %, that coercion
and intimidation of workers precludes
the possibility of fair election" One
company official said that no such in
fluence had been brought to bear.
At hearing before the board in
which the union and the company
were represented both sides agreed
to abide by the results of the election.
The hearing was called when the
union charged that the company was
violating section IA of the N. r. A.
code. Reed said this morning that
the results of the election bore out
our contentious that fair election
could not be held"
Employees affected by the election
are maintenance, operation and con-

SUSPECT QU|zZED
FOR R0BBERYL|NK
Man Identified in Street Car
Shooting Saturday Night
Questioned.

Identified by passenger as the
gunman who seriously wounded and
robbed a Capital Transit Co. street
car conductor Saturday night, Robert
r. Nolan, 80, of Columbus, Ohio, was
to be questioned by police today to
determine whether he participated in
other recent holdups here.
Nolan. who police say is known
also as John McGinnis, and Harrison
K. Moore, "a, of the 800 block of L
street, were arrested as they sped
away from the vicinity of Wisconsin
avenue and Macomb street, where
Preston C. Bowling, 38-year-old con-
ductor, was shot through the groin
and hip and robbed of $3.50.
Ran to Waiting Car.
Bowling, who was said to be i'm
proved at Georgetown Hospital, had
stopped for a passenger when the
gunman boarded the car with drawn
gun and demanded his change car
rier. Apparently thinking the con-
ductor was about to draw a gun
when he attempted to pull some bills
from his pocket, the bandit fired,
grabbed the coin container and ran
across the street to a waiting machine.
Attracted by the shooting, an eighth
precint scout car manned by Police
men Thomas Brown and w. V. Chase
saw the automobile speed off and
gave chase, overtaking it on Klingle
Bridge, when the two machines
locked bumpers. The balustrade
saved the cars from a 125-foot plunge
from the bridge as they skidded to a
stop.
Nolan and Moore, who police said
was driving the pursued car, sur
rendered when they were overtaken.
No charges have been placed against
them.
Not Linked to Murders.
A ballistics test of a long-barreled
.38-caliber revolver found on the
bridge shortly after the men were ar
rested and identified by passengers
as the one used on Bowling disclosed
the weapon was not used in the muir
der and robbery of two Capital
Transit Co. employees at Chevy Chase
Lake last month. The gun contained
one discharged shell, police said
Inspector Frank S. w. Burke said
Nolan and Moore have been dissolved
of any connection with the car barn
shooting, but stated they will be
grilled extensively about other hold
ups and robberies.
When taken to the hospital, Bowl
ing requested that news of the shoot
ing be kept from his wife, who is
seriously i'll with influenza.

One of the places visited was Mar
shall Heights northeast, in the out
lying part of the District, where
evicted persons have gone to live.
Here there is no sewerage and people
who are on relief live in sheds they
have built themselves.
In the alleys from which these peo-
pie, mostly colored, are being evicted,
the houses are two stories high. con-
tain two families and the rental is
from $12 to $14 a month per house.

evicted families, rather than. let them
