have its second running In California

has equaled.
Cavalcade Appears Fit.
MRS. ISABEL DODGE sLOANE's
A'A Cavalcade, 3-year-old champion
of 1894 when he defeated Discovery
with regularity, appears fit enough
after a year of misfortunes to give his
great rival a real battle for the rich
stake.
The only time Cavalcade was beaten
at IA miles was when he stumbled
and lost his rider at the start of last
years Suburban Handicap at Belmont
Park. That was his last race.
Fred M. Alger. jr.'s Azucar, winner Of
$1O8, 400 in the inaugural running OF
the race, showed he would be a factor
when he won the San Felipe Handicap
at Santa Anita Saturday.

queror Of Discovery last year when

will carry 116, pounds in the coast
classic. While this 14-pound conces-
sion from Discovery is not as great as
he enjoyed when he defeated the
champion, the little Western owned
horse has been steadily improving
with age. Top Row, fourth in last
years Santa Anita, holds the world
record Of l:42 for Lie miles.
Ladysman Is Liked.
OTHER nominees considered as hav-
ing good chances to upset Dis
covery, each Of them holding cham

the rich stake last year and 1925

i preparation for the American

at Tech High heartened by the re-
ceipt of the entry of Jimmy Mcclure,
18-year-old defending champion Of
Indianapolis.
Mcclure, who did not lose single
match in the 1885 tournament, raises
to three the number of the country's
first 10 ranking stars now entered in
the coming classic, destined to set
a new high in interest of Washing
tons table tennis-playing enthusiasts.
Mcclure is ranked second nationally.
Sol Schiff, third ranking paddler
from New York, and Richard Tin

Louis, already have signified their in
tention of playing in the first 1886
championship. Both Schiff and Nc
Clure participated in the world

Of all of the country's ranking stars,
local authorities are looking to Elias
Schuman, 16-year-old Wilson Teach

Schuman, sized lad about

is so far ahead of the local field
as to be almost without competition.
If any one can make an impression
on the Nations best, it is Schuman,
District officials say. He hits the
ball hard and has a nice driving
game for one so young.
