Carolina CUP
Is Feature
For Year
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Well, it's March 11th, there's
snow on the ground, and winter
seems to be very much with us.
Even so, spring is Gust around the
corner" as Herbie Hoover was
won't to say Of prosperity.
Proof that spring is rushing
upon us from the South is fur
nished by Mr.. Harry D. Kirkover,
genial chairman of the race com.
mittee of the Carolina Cup Rae
ing Association.
From Mr.. Kirkover and Cam
den this morning there arrived a
condition book for the hunt race
meeting to be held over the Spring
dale course at Camden on Sat
urday. March 81. Right behind
the Camden condition book came
q notice from the Sandhills Racing
Association that the 1887 steeple-
chasing "e son will open with a
bang Saturday on the beautiful
Barber estate with the running of
the Sandhills Steeplechase.
Not to be outdone, by either
0d44O11ll4o VI NduluCL1, w Wd1ICLIOAl
kicked in with the information
that it will stage its annual Point
to Point races Saturday.
Know Barber Estate
When the hunt race meetings
and point to points arrive, can
Spring be far behind?
If you've ever motored the Mid
land road, between Pinehurst and
Southern Pines, surely you'll know
the Barber estate. If you love
horses and race tracks, you'll re-
member the race track on the
Barber estate, for it is an oval of
grandeur. Minus such a thing as
the country race track grand
stand, the racing strip on the Bar
ber estate stands out clear and
distinct. It's a track within
track, and was designed for steep
lechase races and for flat events.
'Tis said of the Sandhills meet
ing that each year it becomes
more and more dramatic. How
ever, among the old timers, The
Carolina Cup is THE opener.
Takes on Importance
After the Carolina Cup, the
jumpers move into Virginia and
Maryland for the big Six" there

fore the Carolina Cup takes on an
Importance that must be reckoned
with.
The big Six," if you are not
up on your steeplechasing, are:
Cd Deep Run Hunt Cup, Rich
mond. April 3; MY Lady's Manor.

burg, April 10 and IA; Grand Ma
tional, Hereford, Md, April II;

April "a, and the Virginia Gold Cup,

Mr.. Kirkover has done nobly by
the Carolina Cup meeting this
year. He has listed seven events
for the day: % the Palmetto
Steeplechase, about two miles over
a timber course, for four-year-oldS
and upward that have never won
a race over a timber course or
more than one race over a brush
course; (2) the KerShaw Steeple-

course, for four-year-olds and up

one race; 90 the Carolina Cup

they probably would rather see their
tomatoes 60 than to see them drip
ping gruesomely from a combatants
nose or down his shirt front.
On the other hand the growers, as
represented by the washington
Canned Tomato Sterilization Com
mittee, do want to see an increased
use for their delicious red vegetable
and while they may deplore the
wastefulness of using tomatoes as
weapons, they at least can feel that
such hostilities cause no deaths AND
do use up certain bit Of the sur
plus. :,
Unless something is done about 1t
growers fear that they will suffer
heavy losses in the marketing OF

some extra tomatoes during the next

externally as the Indio duelists DID,

THE VERSATILE TOMATO

The tomato, once intriguingV
known as "love apple" has long
been recognized as a nourishing
health weapon, and in the theatre OF
another day the tomato sometimes
served as an eloquent form OF dra-
matte criticism.
Not until recently, however, has
anyone thought of using tomatoes
in industrial warfare and even In
the rugged individualism of personal
dueling. An instance OF their use
in one of the eastern labor fracases
was reported little while ago. and
hard upon this came news from IN
dio, California, that q couple OF
gentlemen had fought 1t out at
thirty PAGES, with tomatoes as wea-
pons instead Of pistols.
Washington tomato growers are
understood to have looked upon
these developments with mixed feel
ings- perhaps as mixed as q succu-
lent combination salad, into which
