the National League championship and

shut out the aggressive, dangerous New

Barry DETECTED sgd Howe's long

In the first period, passed to Johnny

foot drive that ended New York hopes.

that the youngsters do not imagine
foxhunting is a matter settled be-

Obviously they propose to learn
something about the management and

could work with hounds without be-

nominated for the thirty eighth rum
ming of the Little Grand National
Steeplechase at Hereford Farm near

Eight entries have been received for
the Churchville Cup, maiden timber
race which is the second feature of
the program.
Mrs. Francis P. Garvin's Tertius,
winner of the My Lady's Manor point
to-point last Saturday, and Manton
Metcalfs Tres Bon, which won the
Right Royal Cup the same day, are
among the outstanding nominees
from the Maryland circuit.
Melbourne Jake Listed.
FROM Virginia will come Paul Mel
Ions Melbourne Jake, which
recently won the Middleburg Cup and
the Deep Run Hunt Cup, and Robert
B. Young's Frostcake, winner of the
Orange County Hunt point-to-point
and timber race at the Middleburg
meet in two successive starts.
J. w. Y. Martins Inshore, which
took both the Little Grand National
and the Maryland Hunt Cup in 1886,
also is on the entry list, as is Stuart

tie up in contests at the Landon
School The date is to be April
"a at 1 o'clock.
There are eight classes in all, most
OF them equitation events for children
OF various ages and degrees of skill
and experience in riding.
Winding up the afternoon will be an
1nter-school team jumping event, in
which it is reported riders from the
Madeira School, Arlington Hall and
other spots will participate.
FOLLOWING these commendable
preliminaries, the younger ele-
ment will have a chance at the hot
competition offered by junior events
in the Washington Horse Show, the
meeting which supplants the old
National Capital this year and brings
our annual three-day Spring exhibit
ton to the Meadowbrook Club ring
instead of Bradley. Farms.
More than half a dozen
junior tests are set for Satur-
day, May 8. the second day of
the show, the most amusing of
them being the pony Corinthian.
While it by no means Is a strictly
juvenile affair, the annual Warrenton
gymkhana deserves mention at this
point, because it is probably the
most superior day Of nonsense ever
contrived down in the hunting coun-
try, and because the proceeds are
donated to that worthy cause, the
Fauquier County tuberculosis As
sociation.
This year the gymkhana will run
all day, beginning tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock and continuing until the
last creased pig has been missed and
the last mule has baked at the idea
Of mule racing.

this year will include a dog show

which the last rider to finish wins

Trip to Aid japanese.

THE trip will aid Japan, because 1t
will show them the necessity of
speed and an all-court game.
Resumption Of the challenge is a
healthy sign, but Japan needs Western
influence.
regret to say the Japanese are just
steady push 'em-back" base liners,
with no variety. Even Yamagishi,
with all his shots, is mentally like the
rest, content to play the same old stuff
But he does it brilliantly
1t Is a pleasure to welcome once
more japanese team. We all recall
their great athletes and sportsmen of
the past-I. Kumagae, z. Shimizu, T.
Farada, J. Satoh and the rest.
This 1887 team will maintain that
sporty tradition. Such visits foster
good will between nations. I hope
their visit will be pleasant.

Not Strong at Doubles.

VAMAGISHI, if he can rise above
his temperamental weakness,
might cause Bulge trouble. But the
chances are Bulge will beat him, and
our second singles player, whoever he
be, also will have good chance.
japanese have never been good
doubles players, due to their lack of
good volleying, but this years pair,
with Yamagishi, will be better, due to
Jiro's fine net game, regardless of his
partner.
I cannot see Japan seriously threat
ening Bulge and Mako, but they will
at least make it interesting.
I pick us to win, Al, possibly SO,
but somehow I feel Yamagishi will win
one singles. Keigo Yamada, Hideo
Nishimura and Fumiteru Nakano, their
1888 champion and doubles titlists,
with Yamagishi, are unknown guam
titles.
