PIMLICO EXPECTING
A BANNER MEETING
Red Rain Disappointing Whitney
Stable, but Psychic Bid
Repays Mrs. Sloane.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DIMLICO is expecting a banner
meeting this Fall. Stables from
all over the country are shipping to
Maryland. The Maryland Futurity
will be run November 2, the Riggs
November 9. the Walden November
IL and the Druis November IA.
c. v. Whitney's Red Rain does not
appear to be the racing colt that his
stable and the racing public believed
him to be. The Hopeful winner has
had three opportunities to duplicate
his Saratoga victory, but has failed.
Red Rains defeat in the mile Of
the Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill
Downs Saturday left no doubt in the
minds of horsemen that the horse
was somewhat overrated. It Is COM
mon report that the horse Is unSound
and that a Winters rest may bring
him back into the form expected OF
him.
The Southern Maryland Agricul-
tural Association, which operates the
Bowie track, has arranged six valu-
able fixtures for its 14-day meeting,
beginning November IS. There will
be $4,000 in stakes, with SIS 900 Of
fered for the Thanksgiving Day
Handicap.
Add the name of Psychic Bid to the
list of bargain yearling purchases by
Mrs. Dodge Sloane. Like Cavalcade
High Strung and Time Clock, the
3-year-old whirlwind has won his cost
many times over. The colt, conqueror
of Sation, the American sprint cham
pion, at Empire City Saturday, earned
$37, $3.50 as a juvenile, which included
his Hopeful Stakes score. This season
he has won $14,390. His total earn
ings are $51,770.

The New England Transporta- tion company was formed for the purpose of protecting the passen- ger traffic of the railroad and in an effort to recover what had been lost to the highway competitors at that time, by offering motor coach service to those who pre- ferred highway rather than rail transportation. The company be- gan operations with fleet of 3S coaches. Four years later, the num- Der had been increased to 257, and the company was carrying nearly 5,000,000 passengers annually and operating more than 8,000,000 coach miles a year. Schedules and routes had been carefully planned with each extension of route mile- age, so that service might be SUD- plementary to and well coordinated with rail passenger service.
 Rapid Service
 Tn July, 1929, the New England Transportation company entered the field of freight service or mo- tor trucking. A fleet of trucks was purchased and was put to work to feed" main line and boatt rains by carrying less-than-carload freight to them from points not on the main or boat train lines. This enabled faster service than had ever previously been possible, and immediately met with favor able response from the shipping public. Consequently, the new serv- icel was rapidly expanded and closely coordinated with fast main line freights. It became possible for the railroad and thetrucks to move freight from any point on the New Haven system to practi- cally every other point on the sys- tenn overnight, the trucks being used both to feed" the trains and to take freight from them at the main line stations for delivery at points off the line. This rapid service led to. the adoption of the New Haven's present freight slogan Accept Today-Deliver Tomor- row" Today, this overnight serv- ice is possible not only to practi- cally all points on the New Haven system, but to destinations as far north as Maine and as far south as Baltimore.
 Despite the fact that larger rail- roads have adopted motor coach and motor freight service, the New England Transportation company is still considered the leading com- pany in railroad motorization. Its truck and bus routes closely paral- Tel the entire 2,000 miles of New Haven railway lines. Its service has become standard and ac- cepted factor in railroading in this sector of the country.
 The New England Transporta- ton company today owns 241 mo- tor coaches and 158 trucks. In ad- dition. it operates 31 five and six passenger sedans on some routes where frequent service for a com paratively small number of passen- gers is required.

Playground Activities
HAMILTON

Big or small, the players, the "ump's" ruling has to be to the liking of those particular athletes or there is bound to be fireworks. Yesterday at Hamilton Park in the midget league Umpire Carl Benson called a "raw" one on one of the players and immediately there was a bedlam. It took the combined effort of Eddie O'Don nell and Billy Schof1eld to save the ''Ump" from the irate players. The M. F. C.'s won the contest with the East End Aces 9-5, but the dispute was worth two such games.
 Tomorrow in the midget loop the Pirates will tangle with the Red Devil nine.
 The official opening of the i'm terplayround league finds four games carded for Monday after noon at 2:30 o'clock. Town plot meets Fulton at the Cooke street field. Waterville journeys to Ham, ilton, Fuller to Bunker Hill, and Division will pay a visit to Wash ington.
 The Hamilton Park Junior League Cadets and Arrows will mix it up this afternoon on one diamond and the Aces and Nomads will do battle on the other.
 A mistake was made recently by the official scorer in the East Ends-Blue Streaks game. The East Ends won the contest GA instead of what was previously announced.
 The junior interplayground ten his matches, which were sched- u1ed last Tuesday, will get started next Tuesday without fail, accord ing to Supervisor William Guilfoile Of Chase courts, who also heads the interplayground net activities.
 Bills junior lineup calls for matches on Tuesday with Fulton at Washington and Chase playing Hamilton out east. Bunker Hills boys have drawn a bye.

It was also reported that $1,SO0 had been borrowed for new furniture for the dormitory and lobby more than a year ago. Eight hundred dollars of this sum has been repaid.

ARMY'S CONVOY
TEST IS LAUDED
5000 Guardsmen Converge
at Pine Camp With
5000 on Way.

By the Associated Press.
PINE CAMP, N. Y, August IL
An old Indian fighter sat at his desk
at lst Army headquarters in an old
mill house today and directed the
movement Of the greatest body OF
troops ever assembled by a peace
time American Army.
Col J. r. r. Hannay, quartermaster
OF the 1st Army, expressed himself
as more than satisfied" with the
movement that today brought 5000
National Guardsmen here for the 1st
Army war games and started $4,000
more on their way
During the day Col Hannay, who
has seen Army transport change from
the covered wagon to the 65-milean-
hour squad car, inaugurated system
for the movement of troops in con-
voy by adio-controlled taxicabs.
Weather Extremely Warm.
While this radio-controlled convoy
was bringing $50 men the $50 miles
across Western New York in II
hours, troop trains and motor conveys
from other sections of the East were
disgorging thousands of Guardsmen
into the hottest day Pine Camp has
had this Summer
Gritty and dirty from the heat of
travel, they poured out of rail coaches,
motor cars and trucks into the greater
heat of scorched grass plainland and
withered pine stumps.
They formed their companies and
batteries and set about the task of
building O city until black darkness
forced them to rest.
Troops arrived from Connecticut.
Massachusetts,. Vermont and New
York
New Jerseys troops were on the
march and bivouaced for the night
at New York cities.
More to Arrive Today.
Other troops will arrive by train
today from New Jersey, Vermont
Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island.
The movement of troops and sup
plies was the first major portion of
the problems to be solved by this
maneuver and training period" Col
Hannay said
1T is the greatest peace time move
ment of troops this Army has ever
handled both by motor and by train
And we are more than satisfied with
the results" he added.
THE motor convoy movement was
designed to test the mobility and
practicability of the Army's mechan-
tied transport equipment.
The rail movement was designed
to test the capacity of Eastern rail-
roads to respond to the needs of the
Army in the initial stages Of a great
national emergency"
Col Hannay pointed to the fact
that the radio-convoy from Buffalo
beat even the Army's most optimistic
schedules by two hours.

On the successful use of the radio |
control cars, deemed practical py
Army experts because of previous small /
tests, may depend the adoption Of .he |
method throughout the Army, |
strengthening the essential trans
portation and supply work.
On the motor march today from
Buffalo, o conglomerate column of |
taxicabs and trucks was controlled by |
one man, the convoy commander, |
Capt. H. L. Zeller. Riding in one
radio car, he was in constant contact |
with his control officers in three others |
