the temporary buildings there.
Field House Used Regularly.
Construction of the field house at
the Palisades Recreation Center and
the building of wading pool and
play area have met a popular demand,
Mr.. Finnan declared. The field house
is utilized regularly by large num-
ber of organizations, including the
citizens of that neighborhood, as well
as girls and boys groups.
Located at Sherrier place and Ed
munds place, the development, along
the palisades of the Potomac River,
represents the first field house Of that
kind constructed in the Washington
park system, the park chief said.
Plans were worked out in conjunction
with the civic groups Of the neigh
borhood, so that they could be prac-
tical and serve the greatest number
of public requirements, Mr.. Finnan
said. The equipment is thoroughly
modern and the building offers facili-
ties that include an auditorium that
can seat 800 persons comfortably; a
stage. dressing rooms, play rooms for
girls and boys, motion picture projec-
ton booth and a small kitchen. where
foods may be prepared for neighbor-
hood parties.
The development of the grounds at
the Palisades Recreation Center in
cludes a wading pool. an active game
area, which is surfaced; three soft
ball diamonds and picnic area. IL
Illustrative Of the popularity of the field
house, Mr.. Finnan said yesterday that
last year 245 permits were issued for
its use, but inasmuch rs some per-
mits were good for an entire month,
this represents a great many people.

Under the city-wide program, sprin-
kler systems were installed in the

Mental Hazards Removed.
r ICKENBACKER said there were
three reasons why Meyers record
could be shattered
One OF these is the elimination Of
a mental hazard at the turns in the
way Of resurfacing the track with

drivers will be able to sweep through
these turns at lighting velocity and
know that their tires will take hold

Another mental hazard which has
been cast into the discard is that Of
fuel supply" he continued. In the
race this year there will be no limit on
the amount used, although economy Is
TO be encouraged in the way Of q spe.
cial prize among the winners.
"Souped" Fuel \ Myth.
HE fact that commercial gasoline
will be used instead Of the LIQUID
dynamite is great step in automo-
bile racing. BY experiment we have
found out that this 'souped' fuel was
really myth. What it gained in one
directiop it tore down in another and
was much harder on the engines Of
the racing cars, in many cases causing
excess heat and q cracking up Of the

Rickenbacker said the drivers Of
this generation are far superior to tho
old-timers.
The driving Of fast automobiles to-
day is real science and profession"
he asserted. "The younger pilots have

Working hunters should be confined

WEAK US. TENNIS
TEAM DUE TO WIN

- AN FRANCISCO, April 2s.-Ihe
United States Davis Cup team
should beat Japan in zone elimi-
~ nations here this week end, but
probably Is the weakest ever to rep
resent this country, George H. Hudson
said today.
He is the instructor at the Berkeley
Tennis Club, proving ground of such
past and present champions as Helen
Wills Moody, Anna Harper, Helen
Jacobs, J. Donald Bulge and many
others.
After watching Davis Cuppers
Bulge, Frankie Parker, Gene Mako
and Joe Hunt in practice, Hudson de-
clared there seems to be a weak spot
in every one OF our representatives
this year."
Hudson sees an American victory
through Bulge winning his two singles
matches; Parker, probable No. 2 man,
taking his individual set-to and Bulge
and Mako teaming up to take the dou-
bles event for 4-to-1 wind-up Of the
three-day competition.

Budge's Task Not Easy.

RUT Bulge will be very fortunate to
win from Jiro Yamagishi, Japa-
nese captain, as he is not up to his
1885 form," Hudson said His fight
should carry him through, however.
Parker probably will lose to Yamagishi,
but should win handily from Fumiteru
Nakano, No. 2 on the Japanese team.
Our chief worry, however, Is not
30 much in defeating Japan as our
chances OF beating the winner Of the
Australia Mexico zone play The
Australian team should come through
handily. 1t will be a tough hurdle
for any other nation in the world"
Observers have noted a falling of
Of Budge's game. The countrys first
ranking player blames l4l2 ounce
rackets, an ounce lighter than those
to which he Is accustomed. He has
been forced to use the lighter model
while awaiting q shipment OF the

T T PERHAPS is too late to get any
thing done about the situation
this season, but sooner or later
L the new Washington Horse Show
successor to the old National Capital
Association, should revise its specif-
cations for working hunter classes.
The introduction of working hunter
classes in big shows has brought lusty
cheers from this column in the past
It unfortunately has not brought into
action quite as many real working
hunters as we had hoped. being tired
of watching the performances Of
horses that would faint dead away
at the thought of a good hard run
to hounds.
One reason the so-called working
hunter division has proved largely an
added advertisement for conforma-
ton horses is that no barrier has
been raised to prevent the chesty
show pigeons from entering into
working classes also.
Ostensibly the purpose Of the
special working hunter compe-
titions is to encourage owner
riders to exhibit the horses they
actually use during hunting
season.
Not many owners. however, want
to bring their stout but battered
charges to show, pay entry fees
and then run up against such horses
as the gilt-lined Whitney and Gug-
genheim strings can present.
No judge in his right mind, no mat

overlook conformation and judge en-

either way, he's done.
Farr Due Chance in U. S.
NOW about Farr? Tommy will
come to America for a chance at
the title. What's more, he'll proba bly,
get tin 1888
BY that time, I hope, the present
muddle will be cleared up, and Tommy
may be the best drawing card as a
challenger.
Farr seems somewhat like Owen
Moran, the great little English light
weight Tommy isn't flashy, but Is q
good plodder, game and strong enough
to fight through at an even pace.
His victory over Baer has been
great stimulant to boxing in Europe,
Just as a defeat would have been q
body blow to the sport in England
know Farr is eager to come here.
A few months ago my friend, Ted
Broadribb, Tommy's manager, wrote
asking me to try to arrange for Tom
to get in Braddock's training camp
10 act as sparring partner. Or, failing
that, to get in Louis camp.
Briton Is Ringwise.
I'm SURE" Ted wrote, Tommy
will give good account Of him
self and will help either man. know
he can whip Ben Foord. the present
English champion" This, of course,
was before Tommy beat Foord, thereby
bearing out Broadribb's boast.
I guess Broadribb remembered Jim
Jeiries was a sparring partner for
Jim Corbett when jeff was trying to
get up the fight ladder.
Although comparatively young-Farr
is only 23-he's had plenty experience.
Hes ringWise and is not dazed by
the bauyhooed exploits of any op-
ponent. At least, he wasn't against
Baer.
I'm sure Broadribb will bring Farr
here to challenge the winner Of the
heavy title fight, if one is held in
September. Everything Is "if" in
fighting now.
Tommy Rugged Fighter.
ENGLAND is hailing Farr as 4 great
- champion. 1t tends to magnify
his victory over Baer, former world
champ.
Tommy deserved credit, at that.
He tried to make a real fight of it.
certainly he showed no fear Of his
bigger foe and WAS more than willing
to lead. Farr also has 4 ruggedness
that has been lacking in most recent
English heavies.
At least it looked that way against
Max. I thought the broadcast was
poor. Our fight announcers do it
much better. Still. it may have been
70 dull they couldn't even make 1t
sound good.
II Farr didn't do anything else, he
popped up pro boxing in Europe.
And he may also do little popping
up here in America. Darned II boxing
doesn't need a healthy shot in the
arm. I'm sick Of the Baers and wolves
who infest the sport.
