Widener announced his deci-

The Widener colt showed his
first sign of lameness last Sat-

While they were getting ready
to send Chance Sun away most

Talbot recalls.
eve received no regular pay,
but worked on tips. Seldom
did 1 come away with less than

money in those days; 81 a day
was considered good wages.
Some who used to bowl besides
LOeffler and Auth were the
Miller brothers, Gluck, Nau,
Krause, Abel and Rupert"
Strange as it may seem, though
Talbot has been close to the
pin game for more than two gen.
erations, he has rolled only one
season with a league and that
was in 1888 when he filled in for
the New York Aces in the King
Pin Business Mems League and
carried an average Of 104.
Rolled 279 in 1898
However, he has bowled count
less independent games, both of
duckpins and tenpins, and back
in 1898 he created a sensation in
Chicago by rolling a 279 tenpin
game.
All day yesterday he watched
wistfully as old familiar figures
came, rolled their game or two
and, patting him affectionately on
the arm, went their way pen.

he met Miss Betty Lloyd of De-

Heinie is the proud daddy Of
three lovely little girls, Shirley

wee little bit of a sweetheart.
1t was quite in keeping with

should play ball. His older broth

Derby on May 4.
The colt proved beyond a doubt
that he has plenty Of speed and
stamina and the Derby route OF
one mile and one quarter will not
be beyond his power.
In the Woods Memorial he ran
the mile and seventy yards in
1:42 As just three-fifths of a Sec
ond off the track record set by
Stang way back in 1925. Today
won by two lengths and was going
away at the end.
Always Good Colt
Today did comparatively little
racing last year, scoring only one
victory and that in a maiden
event, but he was always &C
counted a good colt and displayed
excellent efforts in each of his six
other engagements, all of which
were in stakes. The Whitney colt
might have crashed through to
prominence last season but an in
jured foot bothered him in the
last four of his starts and finally
resulted in his retirement for the
year in August.
Probably the best race Today
ran as a juvenile was in the Ar
lington Futurity when he finished
in fourth place.
Today was moving strongly in
third position at about the three
sixteenths post when he swerved
slightly under the whip and when
he did so, he split his hoof. This
injury undoubtedly prevented the
Whichone colt from finishing any
stronger than he did. However, he
was only beaten length for the
lions share of the purse.
Top Breeder
Today, from a breeding stand
point, leaves little to be desired.
A member of the first crop of
foals by Whichone, the Belmont
Futurity winner, which combines
the blood of Spearmint, Hanover,
Broomstick, and Peter Pan, Today
traces through his dam to Prince
Palatine, Broomstick and Sir
Dixon. There is not a flaw in this
combination.

OUer Ethiopian War
tcontinued from PAGE u

SeIassie's blistering speech OF last
Thursday, in which he accused
1Iussolin of deliberately fomenting
war for his personal aggrandize-
ment, dampened the title enthu-
siasm the government had for al
lied efforts to prevent an outbreak.
It was understood the French
British efforts to prevent war were
based mainly on fourt points: l..
Determination of Ethiopian from
tiers in Italy's favor; 2. Economic
concessions by Ethiopia to Italy;
8. Concession to Italy of the right
to build a railway connecting its
East African colonies of Eritrea
and Somaliland, now separated by
British and French Somaliland; d.
appointment of Italian counsellors
to Ethiopia, similar to those of Bril-
tain in Egypt.
May Accept Two Points
It was thought here that the first
two points might be accepted by
Halle Selassie under allied pres
sure. He seemed in no mood to ac-
Gept the other two. and Italy mas
ynade it plain that it will accept no
eolution which does not give it alb
9olute domination If Ethiopia.

rolled in suddenly, enveloping the
boat. When she hit the rocks,
screams could be heard on shore,
about $50 feet distant. The coast
guard, less than half mile dis
tant, had boats at the scene in
quick time. The fog lifted as sud-
denly as it had rolled in and pas
sengers saw they were but a short

it is thought her bottom is sprung.
