TAN BARK
NY and
ls,,A,|'..:TURE. L., (.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, Jr.

THERE is just chance that the
Virginia Gold Cup at Warren
ton on Saturday will be the
n finest hunter steeplechaSe seen
in this part Of the country since
timber racing was turned over to the
semi-race horses. Should Indigo, The
Prophet and Inshore go to the post
at BroadvieW the three best known
cup horses in America would be
marching forth to battle over a a
mile course. and any one who wouldn't
crawl 20 miles in a SnoWStorm to
witness that tuSSle doesn't really
care very much about the hunt
meetings.
Inasmuch as even this idiotic
Spring doesn't threaten snow on Gold
Cup day. the Warrenton race should
come into its own as a rival Of the
great classic of Worthington Valley
There are to be not only post and
rail brushes over a notably fair lot
of fences. but some brush heats
that can give the public an accurate
idea of what goes on at Aintree, Eng
land. each March. I don't say that
a horse that can win at Broadview
will worry the Irish jumpers in the
Grand National, but a few of the
fences are stacked up as high as a
man is long-with his hat on-and
there will be jumpers from the
Hitchcock. Somerville. Gambrill. Reed,
Pierce and other stables to give a
real splash of class to the meeting.
flying trip to the course last week
revealed much improved turf, one
or two sensible notifications of the
fences and layout in general so
wisely arranged that it made some
only moderate jumpers go the brush
like stays. Noel Laing and Carroll
BaSSett were both on hand to see
four of their charges get a schooling,
and having had experience with vir-
tually every kind of steeplechaSe
plant in this country, they expressed
extreme satisfaction with the set-up
contrived by the able Mr.. George
Cutting. Obviously the hackers of
the Warrenton meet are determined
to make the first Saturday in May a
Derby day in hunt racing circles also
and here's hoping they succeed.
BEFORE the Maryland Hunt Cup
last Saturday the paddock sizer-
upperS couldn't quite bring themselves
to believe any horse could win three
big timber races within a period of
Is days, but Inshore's decisive vic
tory in quite respectable time knocked
all such ideas into limbo. The hand
some son of Infinite seems to thrive
on racing, and any steeplechaser would
prosper on such canny riding as
Henry Frost. jr, exhibited in the
Lite Grand National and the Mary
land.
The same peSsimists who doubted
the wisdom of starting Inshore in
Worthington Valley will be wagging
their heads around Broadview if the
horse goes to the Gold Cup, but those
who care for nothing but the ex-
cltement of a hot race are praying
for his appearance there. Inshore
would meet new class of competi-
ton in Virginia, and should he win,

clearly understood that these youths
work on part time basis for the pur-
pose of earning as well as learning.
Subscribers reading this article and
knowing of any young people needing
work can assist all young people by
directing them to the Unemployment
Office or to the Welfare Secretary in
the county seat. Some excellent OPP
portunities will be offered young peo-
pie in the very near future.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved
that this body in meeting assembled,
as the Retail Merchants Group of the
Eastern Shore Counties of Maryland,
notify the General Assembly of Mary
land of the unanimous and militant
opposition of this group to either the
continuance of the present ~ re-

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the body strongly advise the Gov
ernor and members of the General As

taxes upon the shoulder of the already
overburdened taxpayers of the state,
to curtail the political spending that
now exists in many departments and
plan a system of economy in govern
ment so that very little additional
revenue be necessary.
From the action of this meeting,
it would appear that those favoring
the present law, and will probably
work for it's re-enaction have stormy
time ahead to preserve the Sales Tax
Law.

A call has been issued for a state
wide convention of young Democrats
to be held at the Lord Baltimore Hotel
in Baltimore March 5. The Conven-
ton will be sponsored by the Young
Democratic Clubs of Maryland, it is
announced by Lawrence B. Femme

sage of guidance and a proposed
course of action looking to the coun-

Senator Tydings has not stated
what the nature of his address will
be and there is much speculation
among Democrats as to its content.
The senior Senator from Maryland is
regarded in Washington as one Of
the conservatives in the Senate. He
has at times criticized the Admins
tration's policies and at other times
supported them.
Frank Wickem, President of the
Young Democratic Clubs of America,

vention in Baltimore.

talent very much. After this fight
was off the card for the particular
evening it was slated, information
came to Brittingham's folks that the
audience left the arena almost in q
body-the othd r set-tos seemed tc
lose their drawing power. The con
clusion was that the kids" victory
struck somebody's pocket-book pretty
hetvily. The item in the Star-Bullet-
in read as follows:
''The biggest upset of the even
ing was the KO j. L. Drifting
ham, 3rd Engineers, administer
ed to Gunner Vivieros, 9Th F. A.
junior weller, who should have
won his fight easily. In fact he
had won his fight in the first
accountable something happened
that turned the tables completely.
'Vivieros took the first round
handily with a pile of straight
lefts that opened a cut on Brit
tingham's right cheek and threat
ened a TKO for Birmingham.
But in the second round Britting-
ham began placing his blows
more accurately, while Vivieros
began to go wild. In the middle
of the round Vivieros left himself
wide open for a moment and
Birmingham took advantage by
shooting couple of quick one
twos to Vivieros' jaw and head
that had him on his knee for
moment. Vivieros came up quick
ly, but he was staggering and
Birmingham placed perfect left
hook to the jaw that put vi
vieros to sleep for long after the
count"
For this victory, Birmingham re-
ceives a 60-day leave of absence, with
all expenses paid either for a trip
to China or to his home. He has
chosen the latter and is now probab-
ly on his way home to Accomack.
