SHORT STORY

Once upon a time a man got up
early one Sunday morning to let
the iceman in, and not being able
to find his bathrobe, he slipped on
his wife's kimOna. When he opened
the door he was greeted by a nice
big kiss by the iceman. The only
way he could figure it out was that
the iceman's wife had a kimona
just like the one he had on.

 Miami, Fla, Feb. 25-(UP)--A movement to bring the champion thoroughbreds of England, France, Germany and Italy to this country for Q series of races with the top horses of the United States, haas been launched by the National As- sociation of Racing Commissioners.
 A committee of 10 of the most prominent turfmen in the country has been appointed to work out the details of the international stakes. Headed by Herbert Bavard, the committee includes Joseph E.. widener, Colonel Matt Winn, Jervis Spencer, Carleton Burke, Edwin J. Brown, Charles Francis Adams, John D. Hertz, and Frank J. Ortell.
 Tentative plans call for races at four distances six furlongs, mile, mile and an eighth, and mile and a quarter. Each nation will be asked to send its champions at these dis tances. The purses would be worth crossing the ocean for, too, for the present rough schedule calls for 6 graded scale of prizes topped by Q SiO0,OOO check for the mile and Q quarter event. The six furlongs would be worth s26,000, the mile S35, 5,00O, and the mile and an eighth 45O,0O0.
 The races would be held at the track making the highest bid.
 For proof that the international series would prove popular, one needs only to recall the tremendous excite

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 25.--(Up) -The new national squash racquets champion Is 0ermaine 0lidden, slender young Harvard student who was graduated from head of the intercollegiate column by eliminat. ing Andrew 1ngraham, Cleveland, O., in four straight sets in the finals here late yesterday.
 Glidden and Ingraham had fur- nished the two major upsets of the tournament in overwhelming the 1885 champion, Donald Strachaia, Philadelphia, and Neil Sullivan, of the same city, who was last years runner up.
 Glidden won the first set 15.0 and dropped the second 15-lS. Ingra- ham, weakening under the steady forceful drive of the sturdy college youngster, dropped the deciding sets, l6-8 and l5.6.

ment caused by the invasion of papyrus in 1928. Epinard 3 year later, and of Phar Lap, the Aus tralian wonder horse in i032. And these invasions were by single horses. Bring teams over to battle with our crack runners, and racing in this. country would hit an all-time high.
 The mile race between Papyrus and Zev, with Donaghue and Sande up, drew the largest crowd Belmont has ever seen. Zev won 1t, and the purse of 90O,6OO that went with the winning, but you'll find few horse- men who believe the American horse was the better. Papyrus was poorly trained, given Q sorry ride, end was sent out on the muddy track smooth shod. In those smooth shoes, Papy- rus was as badly handicapped as . football player in tennis shoes would be in mud.
 Epinard, who swept everything in France before coming to this side, raced three times and before tre- mendous crowds. Tn his first start, at Belmont for @2O, 900, he was sec- ond to Wise Counsellor in c six fur- long dash. The next time out, Epinard went Q mile at Aqueduct and was beaten by Ladkin, who had taken show money ct Belmont. In the last race Epinard went a mile and Q quarter at Latonia, and fltl- ished in between sarazen and Mad Play. The purse this time was $56,- 900.
 For eight years there was no for eign challenge, and then came phar Lap, the biggest thoroughbred ever known, They talk now of how Hal Price Headley's Whopper Is, but he would have been the size of a Shet- land pony beside the big red boy from down under. Horsemen were inclined to look upon Phar Lap as a freak until he banged around the Agua Caliente track to cover the mile and a quarter in 2:02A for Q new stake record. The big fellow was preparing for an invasion of the eastern tracks when he died of collie. Walter H. Donovan, president of the National Association of Racing Commissioners, and the man who named the committee to promote i1- ternational races, is of the opinion that sue lnstakes would prove the greatest boost racing ever had.
 "Unfortunately," Donovan told us, racing has been emphasized as Q means of betting, and not as . sport. Continued emphasis on the machines and not the horses, will kill the sport. International races would shift that emphasis to the place 1t belongs-out there on the track and not on the sellers and cashiers cages" 2
