FOLLOWERS of mounted sports In

FOLLOWERS OF mounted sports In
~ Washington were preparing to-
day for one of the biggest week
4 ends in local equestrian history
as final arrangements were completed
for the opening Of the Southeastern
l2-goal polo tournament here tomorrow
and the inaugural of outdoor night
horse shows on Saturday night.
Capt C. Hancock Reed, manager Of
the polo competition which will bring
10 teams into action between tomorrow
afternoon and July 26, announced to-
day that the West Shore Country Club
of Harrisburg, Pa, would send a quar-
tet Of malletmen here to replace the
Freebooters In the Potomac Park meet.
Harrison Ruled Out.
A r THE same time Capt Reed made
= known that Cyril Harrison. the in
ternational star who plays regularly
with the Maryland Polo Club, will not
be able TO Join his teammates in action
here unless the squad Is eliminated
from the major contest and partici-
pates in the consolation matches. Har-
rison carries a seven-goal handicap,
and under the national rules of these
divisional tournaments no individual
may be rated above six goals. A recent
effort to have Harrison's handicap
lowered before the matches was un-
successful.
The Maryland aggregation conse-
quently will 90 into the fray tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock with a new
combination carrying only four goals,
while their opponents, the Sd Cavalry
Yellow team, will be rated at II.

Griffs Blow Chances Galore.


MONTE got rid of the last batter in
>'A the first inning and from then
on the Grifmen had nothing upon
which to concentrate except getting
back the runs Chicago made in the
hrst frame. In the White Sox fourth
weaver also was nicked for score
bat only because Kennedy's tap to
Monte was beaten out for hit, Rip
Radclife's more solid blow sent him
10 third, and Larry Rosenthal's long
dy to Johnny Stone scored him.
Washington had plenty of chances
10 win the game. In the fourth thu
Mats had two men on base, a run
across, and blew a chance for a big
inning when Cliff Bolton hit into a
double play.
In the sixth, when they nearly
drove Kennedy from the box, the
Griffs staged three-run rally and
tailed of only after Luke Sewell
trapped Bolton off first base.
Again in the ninth inning the Har-
fismen had another chance to wind
I'D with q game-tying rally. Red
Kress and Ossie Bluege opened the
inning with walks and Pinch-hitter
Carl Reynolds, UP for Weaver, flied
out, Jesse Hill, who replaced Ben
Chapman, drew a third base on balls
to I'LL the sacks, but Buddy Lewis
ended it all when he drilled into a
double play.
In addition to losing the ball game
the Griffs almost lost one of their vital
cogs when Chapman came up with
split finger because he attempted to
make O shoestring catch Of liner by
sewel in the ninth. Chapman's finger
forced him out of the battle, but the
deet-footed outfielder, sore finger o.
not, was expected back today.

Baskets of food will be the ad- mission charge at benefit basket ball game between the Hopeville Community Club Speedboys and another local team at the Hopeville gym on the night of December g, 1t was announced today. The bas- ketball team, working in coopera- ton with the Hopeville Community club, will play a team which will be secured for the game by man. ager Jack Grady.
 The idea is a novel one and it is expected large crowd will turn out for the game.
 Donations of canned goods, cof- fee, sugar, etc. will eb acceptable, to supplement what the club will pur- chase. Although times are much better this year and there are fewer families in need, the club de- sires to make the baskets as gen. erous as possible so that the fam flies will have something in their larders for the days following Christmas. This plan was used last year and the response was so gen. erous, 1t is being repeated this year. Entertainment will also be offered. Members of the Welfare Committee in charge of arrange ments are Mrs. Alice Gallond and Miss Mary Mazzarella."

ORK'S MARRIAGE TO CoMMONER THRILLED ENGLAND

since Q brother of King Charles II was permitted to marry Lady Anne Hyde.
 The happy young pair were wed at Westminster Abbey April 26, 1923. Their path to and from the church was lined with vast crowds such as only London seems able to turn out.
 The bride had chosen as her bridesmaids two children who were nieces, Cecelia Bowes-Lyon and Eliz- abeth Elphinstone, and six close friends, Lady Mary and Lady May Cambridge-kinswmen of Queen Mary-Lady Katharine Hamilton, Lady Mary Thyme, Miss Diamond Hardinge and Miss Betty Gator. Queen Mary loaned her a historic bridal veil of priceless lace.
 When the bride, accompanied by her father, arrived at the Abbey, she found awaiting her King George Queen Mary and the dowager Queen Alexander. The groom was attend ed by two of his brothers, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Glouces- ter. The archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England, performed the ceremony.
 On the way to Edward the con- fessor's chapel, where they were to sign the register, the new duchess of York did a gracious little thinng which went right to the hearts of the people. She made a detour in order to pass the tomb of the un- known soldier and placed upon it her bridal bouquet.

Shun Palace Life

After their honeymoon the young couple settled down for time in White Lodge, an old-fashioned, garden-surrounded Georgian house in Richmond park. It combined the beauty of the country with the fact that it was really in greater London and only about 20 minutes to town by car. But soon they determined to live right in town and after two or three tentative places, finally bought the big four-story stone front house at 145 Piccadilly, whose back windows look over Hyde Park. Here some of the neibhbors are the Rothschilds, Lord Allendale, and the Duke of Wellington. In purchas- ing this house, the young man, who was a possible heir to the throne of Britain, set 8 precedent. He was not living in 8 royal palace. He was making home just as any other well-to-do young man might.

Bride Makes 8 Hit

What pleased the English public was that inasmuch as the Prince of Wales, as King Edward, then was not married and gave no indication of marrying, the bride of the duke of York might ultimately be queen and Britain would have a British queen-British by birth, blood and education.
 In an carrier day such mar riage would have been impossible. Even as late as the time of King George second 6 decree had been is- sued that royalty should only mar " royalty.
 But in this matter King George V had become democratic as be- fitted the ruler of a democratic country. He had frely allowed his only daughter, Princess Mary to marry a cmmoner. He saw no req son why his sons should not do SC also, especially if they were British

his family and his humorous atti- tude toward the way 1t is treated by the British rpess.
 For instance, in February, 1o3O, in opening 8 new school, he paid 8 neat compliment to his Scotch wife, saying:
 T commend study of domestic science in all seriousness, for I know from personal experience what real comfort can be given to home by wife who is interested in domes- tic matters"
 In May, 193O, he attended a dinner in support of the British Press Fund, which seeks to take care of sick and impoverished newspaper men. Among other things the Duke slyly said:
 T owe a rather special debt of gratitude to the gossip columns of our newspapers for, if I am in doubt as to what is happening in my own home, I need only turn to the gossip in the Daily Wonder and will find all the information I require. The latest remark or ac- ton of our little daughter Eliza- beth, though probably totally uri- known to myself, is set out in de- tail"
 When his brother ascended the throne, the new King honored the Duke in various ways to accentu- ate the fact that he was heir pre- sumptive to the throne. Thus one of King Edwards acts was to pro- mote the Duke to some of the high- est ranks in the British army, navy and air force. And on the eve of St. Patrick's Day, 1886, the King made him Knight of the Order of St. Patrick. AS he was already a Knight of the Garter and Knight of the Thistle, thel Duke was thus made member of all the great British orders of chivalry coming down from the far past. THE END.

Goes Around the World

In 1927 8 more important job loomed for him. The Common wealth of Australia was to hold a great celebration in honor of the formal opening of the new Parlia- ment houses in the new capital of Canberra. This city, like Amer ica's Washington, is a made-to-or- der capital city. It was deliberate ly planned, just as Washington was. The Austhralians wanted somebody from the royal house to go out there and preside over the opening. The King. when Prince of Wales, had visited Australia, and so had his eldest son.
 It was therefore, decided that the Duke of York and his Duchess should go to the antipodes. From the young mans standpoint there was one main objection to the er- rand-his stutter. This would se- riously interfere with the speeches he was expected to make. But he put himself in the hands of an Australian specialist, recently set tied in practice in London, and by very hard work soon was able to deliver fair speech.
 On January 6, 1927, the Duke and Duchess set sail on the huge battleship "Renown." heaching the Panama Canal two weeks later. They made a brief and triumphal stop at the British possession of the Fiji Islands and so on to New Zealand, where the Duchess espe- cially captured the crowds by the smile that the London papers-in naming her "the Smiling Duchess" had made famous.

It is expected that the present drive for the benefit of those needy who cannot afford Christmas presents for their chil- dren and themselves will show greater results than the one just completed.

On to Australia

At last, bidding New Zealand goodbye. they rejoined their ship and made another 1000-mile jour ney, this time to the great metro politan city of Sydney in Australia.
 Finally, they went to Canberra in May, 1927. After the elaborate cer- emonies there, they returned to their ship and started on the long homeward journey. The empire got rather a nasty shock on May 26 when the vessel wirelessed there was a fire on board. caused by oil in the boiler room. However. the ship was stopped and the confiagration put out, the main damage being slight burns to four seamen.
 Now thoroughly broken into pub- lie life, the duke was given many other jobs by his father. In 1920 he was made Lord High Commissioner for the annual convocation Of the Church of Scotland. which takes place in Edinburgh with great cer- emony.

Democrats in the senate are not alone in the fight for party control in the 1887 legislature. The Demo- crat . few weeks ago predicted that a contest for the democratic leader ship in the house of representa- tives would take place. The con- test is now on. Representative John D. Thoms of Waterbury is being boomed for reelection as minority leader of the lower house. His op- porient Is Representative Benjamin Tonkonow of Meriden, now judge of the police court of that city.
 First information on the cam paign of Tonkonow to oust Pres ecutor Thoms from the minority leadership was announced in the Democrat late last month. Since then, it has been learned, Tonkonow has contacted members of the 1887 house, democratic side, in an effort to oust the local man from the leadership.
 Seeks Support
 At the outset, Attorney Thoms was not anxious for reelection as minority leader but he was pre- vailed upon to seek reelection once more. As Q result he has sent many letters throughout the state to those who will sit in the 1887 house ask in gthem to support him for the leadership.
 Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith informed the Demo. crat today that he had not set any date, % far, for the caucus of the democratic side of the 1887 house of representatives. He said he would issue the date next week. Many be- lieve that the house caucus will cc- cur during the last week of the cur- rent month.
 No special date has been set, however, and no predictions are in any way positive

BY MILTON BRoNNER

London, Dec. 12 = The highly sentimental, royal romance-loving British public got one of its best thrills in January, 1923-the Duke of York, second son of King George V, was engaged to be married.
 And what was more, his chosen bride was not some foreign prin- cess, who would have to get used to British ways and, perhaps, even have to learn how to speak English and understand the people of the tight little island. Nor was this chosen bride of royal birth at all. She was just a commoner-as compared to royalty. She was the Lady Eliza beth Bowes-Lyon, pretty daughter of the earl and countess of Strath- more, Q, locality aristocratic family in Scotland, much as the family of King Edwards Mrs. Simpson be. longs to the Maryland aristocracy.
 And everything the romance lov- FITS read about the match made them like 1t all the more. For the girl had been partly reared in a typical movie-type Scotch castle--Glamis- which has an ancient history and a fine authentic ghost to beet. Also the chosen bride was not bringing any great riches to her husband-to- bS. The Strathmores were what could be called land-poor.
 Then, bit by bit, the story of the courtship came out and this, too, tickled the crowd. For the royal duke had to propose not once, but several times, before he was finally accepted.
 On January B, 1923, the duke had come to St. Paul's Waldenbury, the English country home of the Strath- mores, to spend the weekend. Ev- erybody went to church the follow ing Sunday except the duke and the girl. Very transparently, he proposed that they should take a walk in the sunny air instead. Their stroll took them into Q wood which was favorite of theirs. Here he popped the question once more and hero he was at last accepted. Both knew it would be all right with King George and Queen Mary. The duke had already discussed it with them and found they would be delighted with the match. In the discrete way they have in England, this feeling was also conveyed to the parents of the girl.
