The shortage of men in Twin
Cities seemingly has gotten a lot
of danes at each others threats

will be interesting to see what eff
feet the influx of the Summer

since that colony is mostly made up
of men. The above observation was
inspired by a cute little st. Paul
Miss who says she's taking a lot
of things that she won't be taking
when the sun starts to shine on
both sides of the street.
TITS rumored that a newly-dec-
Grated beer tavern with a swanky

the immediate vicinity.

On Changes
Today
6 SUGGESTIONS

The Board Of Commissioners met
this morning to. consider certain
amendments to the act governing
boxing in the District Of Columbia.
The recommendation which is
viewed with greatest alarm is that
by which the District Boxing Com.
mission would be empowered to
supervise and regulate such other
sports as may be deemed neceS'
sary.
Now there is something to cause
chin rubbing, not to mention brow
wrinkling. The fistic daddieS might
even try to keep rassling reason
ably straight, and what headache
that would be.
The Commissioners may decide
to change the name of the Boxing
Commission to Athletic Commits
sion" just in spirit Of good clean
fun. Being an athletic commits
sion, they could readily supervise
athletics in general.
Here are the proposed amend.
mentS to the act governing boxing
in the District Of Columbia:
II. That the act be amended to
read, instead Of Boxing Commits
Sion,' an Athletic Commission
"2. That the act be further
amended thus: The commission is
hereby empowered to license the

"3. That the act be further
amended somewhat as follows:

INTERESTING FACTS
Reviewing the result Of four
races over q period Of years from
1919 to the present reveals some
interesting racing facts. Take for
example Pompey, a great juvenile
Of a dozen years ago. He won the
Hopeful Stakes and the Futurity
in 1925, accounting for more than
500, 900 for his owners with those
two triumphs. But he did not win
the Kentucky Derby the following
year, nor did he take the Preak.
ness.
Pompoon, a son Of Pompey,
won the Hopeful Stakes and the
Futurity in 1886, but War Admiral
showed him the way home in the
Kentucky Derby and likewise in
the Preakness. Pompoon was a
good horse, but not great enough
to conquer the diStance-loving
War Admiral, which ran as his
sire, Man O. War, had run before
him.
Man O. War in 1919 romped off
with the Hopeful and the Flu
turity. Not eligible to start In
the Kentucky Derby for the rea-
son that he never had been nomi'
mated, big Red" trained on to
take the PreakneSs in 1920. In
deed, this superhorSe stands alone
in having won three out OF the
four races we are considering.
SHARE HONORS
Pompey and his son, Pompoon,
share with Man O. War the honor
of having won the two big juve-
nile races.
Gallant Fox, Burgoo King,
Omaha, Bold Venture and War
Admiral accounted for both the
Preakness and the Kentucky
Derby. In fact, for the last three
seasons the horse that won the
Derby repeated in the Preakness.
To include the Belmont Stakes
in the considerations Of horses for
the period under discussion would
enhance the prestige Of Man O.
War, Gallant Fox, Twenty Grand
and Omaha, as these four horses
triumphed in that testing race.
The following chart shows the
horses that won the Hopeful
Stakes, the Futurity, Kentucky
Derby and Preakness from 1919
down to the present.
