Horse Acts as Tonic.

THE romance comes from the fact
that Gibby White. now only 20
years old, was seriously i'll two years
ago and seemed to have no interest left
in life. His father, who bred the filly
presented her to him in the hope that
she might arouse his interest. The
manner in which she has won race
after race produced the desired effect
and Gibby is now declared recovered,
although he could not have his wish
to drive Rosalind yesterday. His father,
however, took the reins and drove a
brilliant race to win the purse of S20,-
900 which goes to the victor.
White, by his victory, becomes the
first driver to win the Hambletonian
twice, having won in 1892 with Mary
Reynolds. He also has the distinction
of driving Axworthy, which holds the
worlds record for stations, mile in
1894.

pETE APPLETON, who pitched a
five-fit shutout against the
Yankee men in Washington last Sat-

year against 'em, will start the series
for Washington. Pete's curve, which

day likely will come Monte Weaver.
Outside of tentatively nominating

Whether by accident or de-
sign, Ruthville was the last por-
tiOn of the bleachers to 20.
They erected the concrete
bleacher section first in left
center and center, and now the
old seat Of American idolatry is
gone.
If it was by accident, it was a lucky
one; if by design, it was the acme Of
happy thoughts To look at the Yanks'
record since Ruthville went away. they
have missed it. New Workers shudder
to think of what might have hap
pened if the season had started with
out Ruthville.
In the 81 games they have played
since workmen began to tear down
the old bleachers, the Yankees barely
have managed to show better than
500 record. BY winning the series
f1rale with Washington yesterday,
they won IL and lost 10 since Ruth
ville's demise. Before the tearing down
was begun, the Yanks seemed well on
their way to finishing the season with
a greater number of victories than
New York's 1927 club. Over one
stretch they actually won 27 games
at home and lost only 2.

Would va Like to Take a Walk?

MAYBE you overlooked it, but
during the three game series
with the Yanks in New York, our Mr.
Ben Chapman drew eight bases on
balls. In the opener he was walked
twice. Again in the second game he
strolled twice. Yesterday, he walked
four times.
Significant? Well, the Mats
think 50. It's because of the
Chapman-JakeP Powell deal, they
say.
You see. when the Yanks acquired
Powell in trade for Chapman, it didn't
take them long to bench Jakey. Some
of the Gotham newspaper men
thought Mccarthy got lemon and
said so. Chapman, meanwhile, has
played good ball for Washington.
5000, say the Griffs, when Chap
man made his debut in the stadium
in a Washington uniform, New York
pitchers evidently were under orders
to give him nothing good to hit. Ben
paraded to the plate 16 times and on
10 occasions he reached base. Yet he
made only two hits.
Chappie, himself, thought he
was getting the drift of the idea
yesterday. When Hadley walked
him for the fourth time, Ben
threw away his bat, took off his
cap, and busted of the plate.
Then he yelled to Hadley-and loud
enough for the Yankee dugout to hear
Whats the matter with you guys?
Are they slapping fine on you for
every hit make?"

When the daughter of Scotland
whirled around the triangular track
in 2:0134 and 2:0234 she made the
fastest time ever recorded by a winner
of trotting's richest stake. 1t displaces
the old marks of 2:02H and 2:0234

Candidates File For
Nomination
Republicans Have Contest In
Every Congressional District

The time limit for fling Con-
gressional nominations ended Mon
day night, with primary contests
indicated in the six Maryland dis
tricts.
Although further Congressional
candidates. are banned, the field will
be open until midnight Saturday for
candidates wishing to file for the
Presidential primaries.
Up to the present the only Presi-
Dental primary fight is in the Demo-
cratic ranks, with President Roose-
welt aligned against Col. Henry
Breckenridge, of New York city.
Political observers feel that the
strength of Gov. Harry W. Nice with
the Republican State party organiza-
ton will tend to keep candidates
from entering the field.
Only two of the present Demo-
cratic representatives from Mary
land are without party opponents in
their Congressional districts. They
are Representatives T. Alan Colds
borough, of the First district, and
Ambrose ]. Kennedy, of the Fourth.
Every district will have a Republi-
can party fight for the nomination.
State Senator o. Straughn Lloyd,
of Wicomico county, minority floor
leader in the State Senate, is seeking
the Republican nomination in the
First district. He is opposed by H.
Burdette Messenger, Of Federals-
burg.
Four Democrats and four Repub-
licans are seeking the nominations in
the Second Congressional district,
represented by William P. Cole, Jr.,
Democrat, who is seeking renomina-
ton. Two Democrats are opposing
Representative Vincent L. Palmisa-
no, Democrat, who is seeking re-
nomination in the Third district.
Three Republicans are in the Third
district primary fight.
In the Fourth district three Re-
publicans want the nomination, while
in the Fifth district, Representative
Stephen w. Gambrill, Democrat, is
opposed by DR.. John William
Klemm, of Mount Rainier. The
Sixth district is the stage for the out
standing primary fight in years, with
eight Republicans filed. Clay Plum
mer, of Gaithersburg, is opposing
Representative David j. Lewis,
Democrat for the party nomination
in this district.
