Browns today, the Yankees win over

Invaders F1urried.


CCORING twice In the fourth chuk-
ker, the Old Dominion quartet
set the invaders in the middle of a
mild ditcher. got another score in
the frantic fifth period and galloped
on to win with two beautiful shots
placed straight between the pylons by
Denny Skinker and Hugh Fontaine.
skinker's goal, made by an under
the-pony angle smash, so startled the
visitors that they seemed never to re-
cover from their surprise and in the
end they looked a thin shadow of the
team that had run up three easy
counters in the first two chukkers.
The Kentuckians and their con-
querors meet again today in a return
engagement and it is possible the
Iroquois squad will come to Washing
ton later in the week to meet the
Sd Cavalry Yellow team, considered
the strongest aggregation in Wash
ington.
The SUMMARY:
Evening star., 1936-07-26
The Big Jump.

THESE figures give you some idea
of the big improvement in time,
height and distance, as the years
have rolled along. There has been a
big advance in equipment-in track
conditions-in mechanical aids. There
also has been a big advance in all
around athletic skill.
For example, Carr ran the 400
meters eight seconds faster at Los
Angeles than Burke did at Athens in
1896. Eight seconds means around 70
yards-an overpowering margin In
one Of the shorter runs. Hampson ran
the 800 meters nearly % seconds fast
er than Flack did at Athens-a mar
gin much wider than 100 yards.
They have added nearly feet to
the pole vault and more than half q
foot to the high jump.
Beccali, the Roman flyer, peeled of
the 1,50o-meter gallop just AZ seconds
better than Flack's time in the gay,
but not so speedy 90s.

OLO experts who claim that 90
u per cent Of mans game Is in
the speed, stamina and tract
i ability of his ponies, crawled
quietly into the dog house yesterday at
Phipps field near Middleburg, Va, when
q magnificently mounted team from
the Iroquois Polo Club Of Lexington,
KY, went down to a rs defeat at the
hands Of virginia's pride, the Loudoun-
Fauquier mallet squad.
Apparently hopelessly outclassed In
the first half Of the game, when the
Kentuckians' horses ran circles around
them and the Blue Grass riders out
hit their best shots by a wide margin,
the Virginia foursome came to life
in the final stages, walked away from
the short end Of SO score and made
the match one of the best seen here
abouts in many a year.

That is why women especially benefit
from Capudine, . pleasant-tasting.

relieves high nervous tension and pain
by soothing the nerves. For nervous

Capudine is ideal. If Capudine does

JUDGE CURRAN
IN REPLY TO
VANDUzER

Answering the attack made by
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer on two Of his recent rulings
In Traffic Court cases, Judge Ed
ward M. Curran, silver-haired
"youngSter" of the D. c. judiciary
today was quoted as saying he was
certain Director Van Duzer had
been misinformed as to the facts,
The traffic head had taken eX'
ceptions to a decision in which
Judge Curran is said to have re.
ferred to a number Of charges
against a defendant as petty,
whereas a number of last years
traffic deaths were traceable di'
rectly to violations of these specific
regulations. Replied Judge Cur
ran:
CALLED CASES MINOR"
II not only did not refer to
the violations themselves as
petty but rather to the cases;
the term I used was minor In
the case in question, the police
man charged the defendant with
speeding and added three other
charges, neceSSitating the draw
ing up of three separate actions.
What he should have done was
charge the man with reckless
driving, since each Of the other
OffenSeS constituted an element
or reckless driving, as does speed
ing itself.
II took the mans personal
bond on the entire slate, not
because I thought he was in
nOcent but because he was not
entitled to bring his case be-
fore q jury, charged as he
was with the several minor
OffenSes. I felt and still feel
that . man who stands before
me faced with q number Of
charges for which the total
penalty IL as great as though
he were charged with one
major Offense, has a right to
demand a jury trial, q right
which I am not permitted to
extend to him."
A defendant charged with reck-
less driving may have his case
tried by a jury or by a court
as he desires. The penalty for
this offense is a 500 fire.
Bike Rider Dismissed
In the other decision, Judge
Curran dismissed the case against
a boy charged with riding his
bicycle through a red light. Traf.
fic Director Van DuZer was
quoted as pointing out that a
bicycle is a vehicle and subject
to the traffic regulations just as
is an automobile. Commented
Judge Curran:

traffic ordinance, he will be
found guilty as charged or the
case will be dismissed, accord
ing to the circumstances sur.
rounding the committing Of the
alleged OffenSe."
Judge Curran said he felt that
the mere fact the boy had been
brought before him would act as
a deterrent in any future rides
he may take on his bicycle. He
also said he felt that Mr.. Van
Duzer had not been made familiar
with the exact circumstances in
each Of the instances he com
mented on.

A COnquerOr Brought To Life
I like to think about the Napo-
leon of Maurice Evans at the Ma
tionaI Theater this week.
Until I saw est. Helena" Napo-
leon had never been real to me.
The conqueror of Europe was a
strutting theatrical fellow who
butchered men, grabbed nations
and had his portrait done with
his arms folded.
Mr.. Evans portrait of Napoleon
lives. It is greatness in the flesh.
It has humor, philosophy, states
manship, dignity, sympathy-all
the qualities of genius.
Since Hitler and Mussolini have
crowded the dictator stage, Napo.
leon has largely passed out OF
modern thought and discussion.
Now and then one discovers
however, that the little CorSican
is the hero of man or woman
important in public life.
