YOUTH VS. SOCIETY
 CASE BEFORE COURT

The much-debated case of Youth ys.. Society will find at least a temporary verdict when Attorney General James s. Truitt presides over a mock trial to be held in the Auditorium of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, Sunday even ing at 7:30 o'clock.
 The prosecution, led by members of the young peoples group of the church, with R. E. Robertson serving as advisory council, will charge that society has failed in it's duty toward youth during the turbulent years since the World War
 The defense, led by H. L. Faulk- ner, City Attorney, will attempt to refute the charge by placing the blame squarely upon the shoulders of youth itself
 The evidence is expected to be largely circumstantial with many witnesses subpoenaed into court. Both sides waived jury trial, but Judge Truitt has announced court room doors will be opened to any one desiring to attend.

Thirty-Six horses are included
in the final acceptances, six of
them American-owned forming
the largest field in the past three
years. All 81 are expected to face
the starter. This is 10 more than
started last year, while the year
before 80 went to the post. Before
qualifications were required any
horse could be named and larger
fields often were the rule.
Miss Dorothy Paget's Golden
Miller, which won the Grand Ma
tional in 1894 and fell while in a
contending position last year, is
the favorite for the race, being
quoted at s to l, with Major Noel
Furlong's ReynoldStown, victor last
year, the second choice at 13 to 2.
Heavy ImpOst for FavOrite
Golden Miller is regarded in Eng
land as the wonder horse of steeple-
chasing and is one of the best
jumpers ever developed there. He
has been training well this year
and has been made the choice
despite his top impost Of IT'S
pounds. American owners are none
too optimistic this year despite the
fact that they have seven starters
among the entries. George H.
"Pete" Bostwick's Irwell Castle is
the most favored among the Amer
ican-owned jumpers, being held at
16 to /, the lowest figure for any
of the United States representa-
tives.
Mr.. Bostwick entertainS real
hopes of winning with Castle 1r-
well, which he will ride himself =.
The horse has been training well
and his owner has been getting
into condition in a series Of races
leading up to the Grand National.
The young American riders
mount was running well up with
the leaders last year when he sud-
denly parted company with his
mount at the Canal Turn. The
horse made a bad landing and
threw his rider, but prior to that
he had been fencing well and Mr..
Bostwick hopes for better luck this
time.
whitney Enters Three
John Hay Whitney leads the
American owners with three en-
tries, Royal Ransom, Double
Crossed and Rod and Gun. The
last, which is in at lat pounds,
the lowest weight for the race, Is
his best hope since Royal Ransom
will carry 161 pounds and Double
Crossed 158, putting them among
the highweights.
This is year that is expected to
favor the lightweights in the con-
test, due to a backward training
season and it was significant that
in the final acceptances IS OF the
81 named were in at less than $50
pounds. A severe winter has pre-
vented trainers from getting their
horses into as good condition as in
some other years.
Only 3 U. s. Victories
Among Americans who are
abroad to witness the race are
Louis E. stoddard and his son,
Louis E. Stoddard, jr.; C. v. Whi5-
ney and Mrs. Whitney, and John
Hay Whitney. The latter has been
trying since 1928 to capture this
classic. His Tomond II finished
third last year.

"Say, man! Talk about a

I've overheard several clockers

record that any horse ever turned

But nobody has ever timed q

The only horse ever claimed
to have run a quarter faster than
the record was Man o. War. And

Jockey Wayne Wright has final
ly shaken off the slump which
clung to the blond jockey for The
past two weeks, when he scored
with two leounts at Tropical Park
Monday and two yesterday.
Horsemen are of the opinion
that Wright will top the list Of

Wins Anita Derby
The Idaho lad started the cur
rent year by winning the $25,0OO
Santa Anita Derby with He Did,
the 100000 Santa Anita Handi-
cap with Top Row and the $40. 900
Florida Derby with Brevity.
The above was accomplished
within a span of less than one
month. To date this year &,
Wright's mounts have earned up
ward of $15O,OOO and the season
has just begun.
Wright has a busy year in front
of him. Being under contract to
Joseph E. Widener he will ride
Brevity, the Kentucky Derby IA
vorite in all the coming important
3-year-olds-stakes, he also has been
engaged by A. A. Baroni to ride
Top Row in all his coming stake
engagements.
The young Jockey gives a lot Of
credit for his success to his able
agent, Nick Huff, from the Ma;
tion's Capitol. Nick knows horses
and racing, and is very careful in
selecting mounts for Wright. For
10 years Huff rode for Edward B.
Mclean. His total years in the

agree with his as much as a full

the correct man was right!
Perhaps some day, the next Man
D. War, running over racing strip
as rapid as Hialeah, with perfect
weather conditions, may be caught
by the electric timer one furlong

performance may not come in my

Inherit Trait From Dam
There used to be a legend that
horses inherit the mudding or non

that it was a good rule to follow,

with nothing more authentic to

Up Well in
Practice
BY GARRETT WATERS

Take the breaks as they come
and you will not become dis
heartened.
That's the slant, Coach Herman
Littman, of Roosevelt High School,
has taken on scholastic athletics
these days.
The reason for it all, is the
realization that five Of his most
dependable ballplayers are ineligi-
BILE for varsity competition for the
first six weeks Of the now upon
us" baseball campaign.
Littman learned Of the set
backs yesterday, following a call
for outdoor practice-the first
since the rainy weather of recent
days.
Five DependableS
The "flunkies" include julius
Lewis, slugging catcher; Francis
Coakley, flashy outfielder: Sher-
rod Robertson, polished short stop;
Lewis Green, substitute catcher,
and Jack Crawford, utility in
fielder.
Littman is casting all gloom
aside in the face of this "distruct-
ion" To take care Of the emer-
gency, he's already mapped out
plans to plug the vacancies-plans
that should work very we'll, con-
Sidering the material on hand.
Behind the bat, the coach will
station George Coakley, brother
Of Francis, who can catch almost
as well as he can play second
baSe-his regular position last
year.
At short will be Larry Hanigan,
rookie of 1888, but now a most
promising prospect. In center
field, Joe Pitcher will hold forth
while at second base, Gerald Tas-
ser will be given the chance to
fill the bill.
Says Littman:
II think these boys will do
until the next advisory reports.
By then I hope to have Lewis,
Francis COakley, Robertson and
the rest back. If they do re-
turn they'll only miss the first
interhigh game, and that won't
be so bad"
A squad Of about so youngsters
practiced under the mentor yes
terday. One Of the features Of
the drill was the showing Of Sid
ney Ansell, young left-handed
pitcher.
Ansell Has Speed
Ansell is a former Maury High
School lad, of Norfolk, Va. He
came to school in September and
Is eligible for interhigh baseball.
The youngster has loads Of
speed and is supposed to have a
huge bundle of curves "up his
sleeves" If he makes good he'll
round out a capable pitching staff
for the Riders staff which al
ready comprises such talented
youngsters as Joe Bovello, Howard
Bowers, and Francis Blunder, the
latter left-hander.
Littman will send his charges
into their first game, April 2
against Episcopal High at Alex
andria. Shortly after, an inter.
esting trip will be taken down
South" where the Washington
Lee Freshmen, Staunton Military
Academy and Augusta Military
Academy mines will be met. BY
that time, Littman hopes the team
will be thoroughly prepared for q
stubborn stand in the interhigh
series.
