Eased Up At End
In other words-while the Dis
covery of Brooklyn Handicap day
covered nine furlongs-easing
up at the end-in 1:48 1-5-the
Brevity of Florida Derby day
running at Aqueduct on Dis
covery's day-would have turned
his nine furlongs-easing up-in
ISL 3-5.
If, however, we make allowance
for the difference in ages of the
two horses. and the times of
year of their respective perform
ances. which comes, by the scale
of weights. to IA pounds. L. we
must credit Brevity with 2-5 Sec
onds. which would make his
time. by this writer's deductions
.1:50 Is.
And had Brevity turned in
such a performance. in June.
under 1875 pounds. at Aqueduct
with only the likes of Dnieper
and Bright Plumage behind him
he would not be acclaimed
another Man o'War."
In 1920, John P. Grier packed
1875 and ran 1-16 miles at Aque-
duct in the equivalent OF Brew
ity's hypothetical time, as set
down above.
Same Caliber Horses
He beat Donnacona and Nat
ural Bridge, about the same cal
iber of horses as those defeated
by Brevity. In my book that
makes Brevity possibly as good
a colt as John P. Grier-and if
he proves as good a horse, Joseph
E. Widener will have every reason
to be proud Of him.
So what? Well, four days after
John P. Grier turned in the fore
going race, he hooked up with
Man O. War in the Dwyer Stakes,
a mile and an eighth, at Aque-
duct. And the big golden Chest
nut gave John P. Grier 18 pounds
and ran him boWlegged!
Now there's 18 pounds and a
good beating that I'm pretty GER
tain Brevity will have to make
up before he proves himself
another Man O. War.
(P. S. Which isn't saying that
Brevity won't win the Kentucky
Derby. He may do it as easily
as Bubbling Over turned the trick
in 1926.

Drills On List
For ! Teams
Tomorrow
BY GARRETT WATERS


The spring weather of not so
many days ago has caught up
with the sandlotters in and
around washington.
BY that we mean, the boys
have become so interested IN an
early baseball start that in many
cases practice sessions have been
planned over the weekend.
The newly-organized Coffey
Sales Nine is one of these cases.
The Mount Rainier Grays happen
to be another.
Howard Connie" Wyche is be-
hind the Coffey Sales drill idea.
Connie" you know, was only re-
Gently selected to pilot the Store
men, having been "weaned' away
from his pet team, the "Majes-
tics"
Coffeys Drill at 10 A. NJ.
Well, to go on, the Coffeys
practice tomorrow on Friendship
Field at 10 a. m. The Mt. Rainier
Grays (thought we were going to
forget 'em, didn't you) drill on
the Mt. Rainier High School
field at II a. m.
These two sessions are only a
starter of what will be the rule
within the next two weeks. A few
days of balmy weather gets many
q team going and there promises
to be no exception this year.
This balmy weather question
has affected several leagues in
and around the city, also. Four
have held meetings and at pres
ent are completing plans for the
renewal of busy campaigns. They
are the Departmental, Federal,
Bankers and Government cir
cults. Others are expected to be-
gin activities very shortly.
The Federal League will have
10 teams this season. This is such
an increase over 1885 that two
sections will be necessary, to be
known as Single A and Double A.
The schedules of these sections
{ will be split in half, with the win
ners engaging in a play-off at the
end of the campaign. A final play
off will then enter the picture to
decide the championship Of the en-
tire league.
Big Season Seen
Getting back to the Coffey Sales
diamonders, Manager Wyche Wis
Ions a splendid season with such
stars as Lefty Joe Sullivan, Peggie
Brown, Lefty McIntire, Winnie
De Angelas, William Albert, Burt
Webb, Jake Fradin, Fotch Matthias,
Bob Matthias, Bill Dorist and others
in the lineup.
The Coffeys will play in the In
duStrial League on week days and
plan to wade through a 47game
Saturday and Sunday schedule un-
der arrangement by M q n a g n
Wyche. This latter sounds almost
unbelievable for a sandlot team,
but Wyche has the schedule to
back up his word and promises to
>"release" the entire list as soon as
every contest Is completely ar
ranged. The opening game is April
u against the st. Mary's Celtics.
Many we'll known county per
formers will take the field in the
Mt. Rainier Grays' practice. Among
the group will be Moxley, Green,
j. Merello, K. Merello, Newell,
Wanley, Whit, Chewing, Cole,
Robinson, Moore, Liggett, Jarboe
and Scott. The latter is "Tilly"
Scott, of Mt. Rainier High School
fame.
Robert Newell is manager Of the
Grays. He, like Wyche of the Cof-
feys, is arranging a big schedule,
and can be reached at HyattSville
212-J for additional games.

 After such opinions of our coun- trymen it would have been useless to explain that we know so little of architecture ourselves, and have sev- eral times made criticisms of con- structional composition to find later that MT.

 But so sat upon were we, that, up- on discovering an alabaster crusader so covered from head to foot with scratched initials that he looked like an ancient inscription in cuneiform writing. we immediately exclaimed: Those terrible Americansl They ought to be kept at home!" In our chagrin, we examined the initials, and a horrible fascination drew us on to see whether we could recog- nize any familiar names. We could not and we publicly apologize to all Americans, for what we found after many of the initials were dates such as 1630, 1547, etc.--and at that date all Cor nearly alD Americans were English, and those who were in America stayed there.
