explanation of the mentality which would criticize the
use of guns by agents of the Bureau of Investigation

French, Irish Officers in
Jumping Event.

n VIEW YORK, November For
nj the second time in seven
" years, the French Army team
L captured the Bowman Cha1-
lenge Trophy in the international
military jumping competition at the
National Horse Show in Madison
Square Garden tonight, in a contest
which kept 10000 onlookers in q
constant uproar.
Since all New York crowds are tn
clined to favor the Irish next to the
home country, the stands were in q
state Of the galloping shrieks as
Capt. Pierre Clave and Capt. Ahern
of the Irish Free State squad fought
it out for this coveted military trophy.
When the last score was counted.
Capt. Clave on Amidon had outdone
Capt. Ahern on Gallow CLASH by
second. a margin which is considered
to be in international competition the
equivalent of losing hounds or stay
ing with them in the hunt field.
Third Place to U. S.
In third place came the United
States Army teams Blacxie, winner
of the touch-and-out earlier in the
evening, and fourth was the French
Army's Champagne.
To coin a cliche, Blackie was re-
garded as the dark horse Of the Amer.
lean squad before this show, but hav-
ing qualified in the Bowman elimina-
tons on Friday and won fourth round
of the touch and out, there were some
who believed the old boy might come
through with another score for the
United States tonight.
1t was an outside bet, however, and
Blache did not choose to 60 so well
for Capt. Milo Matteson as he had
gone for Capt. Hal Isaacson in the
touch-and-out sweepstakes.
AS for that class, the American
horses also COPIED the red ribbon,
with Lieut.. Ray Curtis aboard Dinger,
while third place went to the
Wynfromere Farms Plymouth Rock
and fourth to Trillora Farms Epic.

changed its name overnight to the
American Chess Federation and

The N. C. F. needed a new st;mu-
