IN TRIANGULAR MEET
Beaten Half Point as Relay Is
Taken by Washington-Lee.
G. W. High Third.

,APTURING the final event of the
program, Westinghouse Highs
track team defeated Central by
the slim margin of one-half point
yesterday in a triangular meet at
Central Stadium. The Little Generals
scored 58l2 points to Centrals So,
while George Washington High of
Alexandria ran a poor third with el2
points
With the outcome of the meet hing
ing on their respective performance,
Washlngton-Lee's crack mile relay
team, composed Of Bassford, Choate,
Toulott and Milks, whipped Central's
quartet of Servator, Hoadley, Jonscher
and Chacos, covering the distance in
3 minutes and AZ seconds.
Despite the defeat, Coach Pearce
was heartened considerably by the
showing of his Central cinder- pound
ers. Louis Chacos, who won the 220-
yard dash and discus throw, looms as
a threat in the interhigh meet next
month, as does Jonscher, who an
nexed the broad jump with a leap of

CALENDAR PACKED
|. FOR EQUESTR|ANS
Maryland Hunt Cup Heads
Program Today-Sunday
Dates Filled.

10 CROWDED is the local sports
calendar with equestrian events
today and during the next week
~ that apparently it will be diff
cult for citizens to get around the
Maryland or Virginia countryside
without being stepped on by horse
Most important Of all the immediate
prospects are the Maryland Hunt Cup,
which was to be run at 4 pm. today
on the estate of j. w. Y. Martin in
Worthington Valley, Md, and the Vir-
ginia Gold Cup Association races next
Saturday at the estate of Alexander
B. Hagner, near Warrenton.
Today those who do not wish to
tour all the way beyond Baltimore to
see the classic Maryland Hunt Cup
may console themselves with Junior
Horse Show sponsored by the Landon
School near Bethesda, Md.
Tomorrow afternoon at pm. the
Riding and Hunt Club will hold its
first point-to-point race, starting on
Freres Farm, near Potomac, Md
Selection of Sunday date for this
event, which Is restricted to members
of the Riding and Hunt Club, indicates
the scarcity of open days for amateur
horse competitions around this sector.
The American Legion Horse Show,
set for Sunday afternoon, May 2,
on the East-West Highway, is another
affair that was crowded into a Sunday
engagement by the powerful lineup
Of Saturday attractions. Rather than
face the spirited competition of the
Virginia Gold Cup meeting, which
sports editors in Virginia voted the
most important and popular sporting
event Of 1886, the American Legion
committee wisely decided to set its
annual exhibition on Sabbath this
year.
The equestrian scene will by no
means become blank after the I'd of
next month, however, for the impor-
tant Washington Horse Show will run
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May
Z, and 9, and other contests are
slated in quick succession after that
one is ended.
