Saw Mary a day or so ago,
and she had on the most fasci-
mating frock. It was of black
mousseline de sole with tiny
figures Of yellow running
through the material. Her
C a r t W h eel hat was black

Sunday afternoon, as the sun
is sinking in the West-and
we have our fingers crossed,
hoping for nice weather-the
Georgetown residence of DR..
and Mrs. William G. Gwynn
will be the scene Of party at
which their son, DR.. Henry
Beall Gwynn, will be host. He
will entertain in honor of his
brother-in-law and sister, Mr..
and Mrs. Lawrence Turnure
Sd, who will come from their
home in New York for the
weekend. Mrs. Turnure was
formerly Louise Harrison
Gwynn.
The Cosmos Club garden is
a delightful place to have
luncheon these summery days,
pleasantly away from traffic
noises, and yesterday we
glimpsed Sidney Taliaferro, i'm
peccably groomed in Navy
blue, having a midday snack.
Congratulations are being
extended to Mr.. and Mrs.
George Stannus upon the birth
of a son. Mrs. Stannus will
be remembered as Marian JAR
dine, a popular member of the
younger set in the Capital
when her father, Mr.. William
Jardine, was Secretary of Ag-
riculture. Later, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jardine went to Egypt, where
he served as United States Min
lister, and while there Marian
had as her guests numerous
Washington friends.
The youngster, born May 2
in Biloxi, Miss, where his par
ents make their home, has been
named Robert Dickie Stannus.
Yesterday afternoon, Mary
Cootes, tennis champion daugh-
ter of Col. and Mrs. Harry N.

of the graduating class. The Su-
perintendent of the Academy (who
is now Mai. Gen. William D. Con-
noD will make the selection each
year. On Wednesday afternoon,
June 10, DR.. Alfaro will present
the award at the special parade
for awards and stars. This year
it will go to Cadet Capt. S. w.
Holderness.
It will be like turning back the
years just a bit, and quite natural
for the Minister to be at the
academy-for he was graduated
from it himself with the class Of
1918, and his two sons, Jaime and
Colon, Jr., are now cadets there.
They are just finishing their
plebe year and their father will
be there to see them recognized, "
as they call it-that grand and
thrilling moment to see when, re-
turning from parade and just be-
fore breaking up to return to bar
racks, double lines are formed,
one turned to face the other, and
then handshaking goes on at a
great rate. Then it is that the
upper classmen drop their lordly'
manner toward the plebes and &C
cept them on an equal footing.
Sad FarewelIs
But it is not all quite so jolly
as that. There is the graduation
parade, with visitors from every
where lined along the western
side of the plain" and perhaps
the most keenly interested spec
tators being the line of "old
grads" standing just a little to
themselves. When the members
of the first class. about to be-
come officers of the Army, do
front and center" and the Wis
itors can easily hear those left
in the ranks saying their good

thing but a happy time.

With the moon beamlng It's
incest silvery rays, in a sky of
velvety dark blue, the Powha-
tan Roof Garden opened with
flourish last evening. The
guests arriving early for sup
per were Hospitality greeted by
the smiling. Ramon.
In spite of the Weather
Mans threat of rain, there
was nary a drop or even hint
of a shower. Small tables and
green covered chairs ringed
the dance floor. From the
high wall around the edge
huge urns glowed with soft,
orange lights casting a mellow
glow everywhere. Between
dances one could gaze out into
the sky, or over the edge at
the streets that seemed mere
banners of brilliants, oh SO far
away.
AS we walked in, the first
person we saw was Peggy Mol
ley, her usual good looking
self in a gay printed evening
frock of blues, green's with a
dash Of red and black. A very
energ etic pair dancing in
swooping circles, tricky new
steps and with a speed that
behooved everyone else to get
out of their way was Win
Brown, in a black net frock
with a very full, swirling skirt,
and Cole Mcfarland.
At small table off to them
selves sat blonde Jean Ulman,
wearing black, and Jimmie
Jones, very much engrossed in
their conversation.
Watching the gracefully glid-
ing dancers, our attention was
caught by an ethereal blonde
costumed in white with a lux
urious cape of white fox. As
she passed nearer we were de-
lighted to see Helen Tewks-
bury King and her young
Army doctor husband, Harry.
They paused to chat with
some friends and talked about
buying horses.
Brown-eyed Betty O'Malley,
recently back from Panama,
and platinum-headed Patsy
Parker, were at a table across
the floor from us. Betty was
wearing a simple little frock
of brownish checked chiffon
and her companion was in
white, with a spray of gar
denias in her hair. In the
group of young people with
them we recognized Brad
Swope.
Still others we saw "first
nighting it" were Kay Pear
son, in lavender; Rebecca
Davidson, in flowered print
Peggy Gibbons, in flame chif-
fon; Mary Mcdowell, in blue
and white; Lieut.. Charles Zon-
dorak, Lieut.. William NJ
Haynesworth, jr., and Mrs
Paul Lutes, the latter in black
net embroidered in white.

Let Jack Curley
Tell Y the Tricks
q New York Post.-wNU

Let Jack Cmley, the famed promoter,
tell you some things you ought 10 knoto
about the ancient pastime. Mr.. Curtey
says:
TOR every hold there is counter.
L Leverage, and not brute strength,
wins falls.
Accounts Of contests, great and
small, are preserved for US in poetry
and legend. The great Homer idolized
the game.
Wrestling dates back to $500 3. c..
Even among the most ancient nations,
wrestling was as we'll understood,
with its various holds and breaks, as
1t is at the present day.
Again, going back to Homer, we
can quote him mentioning the famous
encounter between Ajax and Ulysses.
Ajax was the incarnation of all ply
steal power in man; Ulysses, the pos
SCISSOR of every art and vile.
The written history of wrestling,
however, antedates the legendary tales
of Homer and the much sung siege of
Troy. In the land of Egypt we find in
.ncient temples evidence that wres-
Ting was perfected art many thou
sand years before Christ.
Not far from the bank of the Nile,
In the temple tombs of BENZ Hassan,
wrestlers are depicted in every hold

tions are cleverIy cut into the sides of

Pierri Takes Third Strike
in Promoting the Turks

Undaunted, Pierri sailed forth for
another Turk, and this time came with
another giant, Nouralah. Strange as
1t may seem, Pierri again put his trust
into American managers, and once
more Billy Brady signed the Turk
under his management. And still an
other trip for Antonio and again an
other Turk. This time 1t was Jai Ali
pronounced Hall AlaIi), and this time
not Brady but Martin Julian won the
affection of the invader, and for the
third time Pierri was without his
champion.
All these Turks were great wrestlers.
On his home-bound trip in 1898 Yous-
souf was passenger on the Inflated
French liner, La Bourgogne, anc lost
his life in the disaster.
A legendary story gained circula-
ton that the Turk wore belt around
his body. with all his money in 800 gold
pieces The story is no doubt a fable.
because no American managers would
have permitted Youssouf to get away
with so much weight in gold.
Did you know that wrestling was
the favorite indulgence of the Father
of Our Country. George Washington?
The general often INDUCED in i'm

Recalling Famous Race
Between Turf Royalties

When the "king of the Turf"-that
was Ray S, the great stallion owned
by the Fleischmans of cincinnati-met
the "Queen of the Turf"-that was 70
Tambien, the fleet little mare owned
by Chris Smith of Chicago? -. :.
There were two races, both of them
on the beautiful old ST. Louis Fair
Grounds course. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars were bet each time,
while eminent sportsmen grated that
the honor of their great cities was at
stake.
In the first race-the Club Members
at mile and quarter-they galloped
down the stretch hell for leather. They
came under the wire nose and nose.
No man really knows who won. The
judges said Ray S." Possibly they
were correct, because Monk Overton.
the little black man who rode him, was
a magnificent finisher. The crowd said
"Yo Tambien" and arguments were
loud and long, while more hundreds
of thousands were bet for the Memo
RAJ hdnulcdp.
This time Kentucky Bin and Brown
Dick, the famous negro trainers who
loved the little mare, combined their
talents. Perhaps they thought they
had been linked the first time out. Pos
sibIy they thought that Johnny Mooney,
the very good Chicago jockey, had been
outridden.
They decided to match jockey with
jockey, jinx with jinx. They engaged
frankie Jordan. ''When you get to the
head of the stretch just hurry along
home" was all the instructions they
gave him.
Perhaps it was the greater skill of
the new rider that did it. More likely
the great-hearted mare just could not
brook another defeat. No one really
knows now but
This time as the horses reached the
wire Brown Dick and Kentucky Bill
were dancing exultant jigs, crossing
and increasing gnarled fingers.
Out there on the track the little
mare was running as she never had
run before while, crouched on her
withers, Frank Jordan grinned and
looked back through crossed eyes at
the horse which this time could not
keep up.

More Than 100 Styles
of Modern Wrestling

There are today more than hun
dred known styles of wrestling. Of
which catch-as-catch-can is mostly
prevalent in America, Graeco-Roman
style in Europe, Judo and SOuma style
in Japan and collar-andelbOw in Ire
land.
In the old Roman amphitheaters the
contests were to the death. The gam
blers were seldom accused of fixing
things.
The immortal Shakespeare was a
wrestling fan. Note Orlando's contest
with Dukes wrestler in las You
Like It."
The most famous match in all his
tory was between Henry viii and
Francis at the meeting of the
Cloth of Gold In 1920. At that time
the French and English kings were
the foremost monarchs in the world.
In India, China and Japan wrestling
has been practiced almost uninter-
ruptedly for thousands of years. Reg
ular contests are carried on at Toxic
III ring SURROUNDED WIFI TWO Circles
Of thirty-six bags of earth. A bow
and a bowspring formerly were given
as the prize.
The time to throw a man is when
he is moving or eXerting his strength
in the same direction as that in which
you desire to throw him. The force of
the aggressor is then applied along the
line of least resistance.
Wrestlers come and go In cycles.
Just before the turn of the century,
Youssouf, the Terrible Turk, was the
Juror. He was an immense-sized gladi-
ator Yet had hard time downing
a little fellow named Ernst Roeber
Youssouf was brought here from the
sultan of Turkey to impress the world
with the strength of his regiment of
athletes. Antonio Pierri, Greek,
brought him here but was relieved of
him by Billy Brady.

no YOU remember way back when:
- A tall, thick-shouIdered man
used to stride to the plate at the old
Polo Grounds and the boys in the
beachers would start chanting:
"Buck! Buck! Buck!
Hit 'er oper the fence
Just for iuck!i"
That was Buck Ewing, one OF the
all-time greats among the catchers and
possibly as hard hitter as Babe Ruth.
In 1888 the Giants were playing the
ST. Louis Browns for the world cham
pionship, had lost the first game and
were trailing, 8 to o, in the ninth in
ming of the second one.
There were three men on base. Buck
came to bat. The bleachers roared
their refrain. 1t was plea, demand,
a battle call. Bucks bat was almost
twice as big as those used nowadays.
He swung it Justify.
The ball sailed far over the center
fielder's head, seemed still to be ris-
ing when it passed over the tally-hos
parked close to the fence.
That blow won the game and broke
the Browns, who put up only a pale
struggle while the Giants were romp-
ing away with the rest of the series.
Around town there still are old
timers who insist manfully that it was
the longest and hardest hit ball ever
produced in a championship game.
WHEREIN one season-John L. Sui
Ivan stopped 80 opponents in the first
round? And when Bob Fitzsimmons,
in a so-called world championship af-
fair against Peter Maher at Langtry.
Texas. knocked out the Irish giant in
thirty seconds of the first round?

Remember When O'Leary
Walked 100 Miles at 70?

When Dan o'Leary celebrated his
seventy-eighth birthday by walking 100
miles in % hours and 43 minutes at
the Cubs park in Chicago in 1919?
When ice skating was so popular
throughout the land and there had to
be some rules for governing competi.
ton in the sport? So-that was In
18e5-the code of rules used at trot-
ting horse meetings was made to APP
ply, with very few changes, to ice
skating. And soon came to be the code
governing ice skating competition
throughout most of the world.
When National league umpires were
for the first time granted salaries?
That was in 1888, seven years after
the league was organized.
When Jim o'Rourke caught his last
big-time ball game? That was on octo-
Der 2, 1904. Jim caught "Iron Man"
McGinnity and made a hit while the
Giants were winning their hundredth
game of the season and taking the
pennant away from the Cubs.
Jim was then fifty-two years old.
He had been playing professional base
ball for 81 years, mostly as an out
fielder. He had not become a catcher
until few seasons previously, when
he had bought a Connecticut League
club and found that he had no back
stop on the roster.
