Fort Myer Lists
Final Horse
Show

The fourth and final of the
Fort Myer Indoor Horse Shows
will be held at the Riding Hall,
Fort Myer, on Tuesday. March 8,
1887, at 1880 p. m.
Major Arthur P. Thayer, Third
Cavalry, who has been placed in
charge Of the program has ar
ranged nine classes which are
planned to be intensely interesting
to both spectator and exhibitor.
AS an additional feature Of the
show, the Hunter and Jumper
Championships will be awarded to
the horses that have scored the
greatest number of points in their
respective classes. Lieut.. Frank S.
Henry'S Clipped Wings is now
leading on the Jumper Division
and Margaret Hills Question
naire has amassed the highest
total in the Hunter-Hack Class.
Points won in the forthcoming
show will be added to those al
ready scored, and it is entirely
possible that horses now in second
or third place in their respective
divisions will forge to the front
and emerge as winners.
Two classes that are certain to
occasion much interest are the
studen; jumping class and the stu
dent hunt teams. These classes are
restricted to girl students at
schools where horsemanship is a
recognized activity. Large groups
of rooters will be on hand to cheer
their respective representatives on
to victory.
Seats may be obtained by call
ing the ticket officer, Fort Myer,
West 1000, Branch 43. A complete
list of classes follows:
Glass Humping for enlisted men.
Class 2-Handicap touch and out.
Glass S-Prize awards student jumping.
Glass 4-Open hunters.
Glass 5-Pairs of hunters
Glass 6-ROad hacks.

Rx GARRETT WATERS

One more torrid week is ahead
for school sports fans. Item No.
/ brings the curtain down on the
interhigh school basketball series
for 1887.
Item No. 2 is the ninth annual
Sportsmanship Tourney to be
held as always before, at Mont
gomery High School, in Rockville,
Md.
In regard to the interhigh
finale, the Eastern and Western
teams play Friday at the Tech
gym. this is definite, now that
the Community Center has agreed
to give the Friday date to the
series.
Eastern and Western are tied
for the title. that is, the teams
have finished the regular schedule
deadlocked for first place with
seven victories as against two
losses.
Great Twin Bill
This deadlock came about last
Friday when one Of the greatest
double.headers ever played in the
series was recorded Eastern
went into the twin bill with the
knowledge it had only Tech to de-
feat for the championship.
But the pressure proved too
much as Tech triunphed by put
ting up its strongest game Of the
year.
This Eastern loss came after the
first game had opened the show
that contest was between West
ern and Central.
Western had to win that one in
order to gain tie for first place
should Eastern lose to Tech. the
Georgetowners triumphed, as 5000
or more cheered then they
waited for Tech to stop Eastern.
There's plenty of excitement to-
day over the new developments. :.
it'll increase all week until the
thing is settled Friday night at
Tech. the game should set new
record for attendance.
Too, it should bring some more
thrills, unless one of the teams
cracks under the pressure. this
departments early predictions
favor Western to win. but it is
with reservations, since Eastern is
still too good a team to sell short.

played as scheduled. It h ou G h
there is one change. the scene
will be the Roosevelt gym instead
of Tech. the hour remains at

SpOrtsmanship Test
Now, a bit about the Sportsman
ship Tourney at Rockville. It's
the "brain-child" of Principal
Schott, at Montgomery High. the
idea Of the tourney is not to win,
but to gain points for sportsman
ship.
The tournament has been quite
successful in the past, since
teams from both county and
city have clamored to play. fur
her, it has fully exemplified Prin-
cipal Schott's idea of sportsman
ship. which in itself is sufficient
reason why the test should be held
and why it is so popular.
The dates for this tourney, Incl
dentally, are March 4 and s..

By the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, September Warning
against long-term installment selling,
General Manager l.. S. Crowder of
the National Retail Credit Association
commented today, Three years to
pay will be forgotten phrase within
q year"
1.-THE selling and buying of mer-
chandise on terms that are too long.
Judged by the dictates of common
sense, is trading too much on the
future" Crowder said
Another dangerous tendency is for
the consumer to buy one article after
another on time payments until he
is obligated to the extent of his earn
tngs. Then something happens.
Merchants, too, are apt in their
eagerness for sales to extend long
terms and longer terms until, as in

STEEL |NGOT RATE
MAY Be REDUCED
Some Circles Believe Fall
Upturn Too Slow to
Prevent Decline.
Hy the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 9.-In face
Of disappointing automotive demand
and declining backlogs, the steel in
dustry continues hopeful of a grad
ually rising volume of new business in
September said Iron Age today in its
weekly review.
In some quarters, the trade publica-
ton said. there was a disposition to
question whether new orders will come
in sufficient time to prevent a drop in
ingot production rate over the next
few weeks.
"Backlogs at some mills have de-
clined to such a point that recent high
mill schedules are not warranted" :" the
review continued. Some mills have
accumulated stocks of ingots and will
slow down open-hearth production un-
til these stocks are used. Orders are
needed for nearly all products except
tin plate, galvanized sheets and line
and oil we'll pipe, in which there still
are comfortable backlogs.
This weeks drop in ingot output
to 70 per cent from an estimated SO
per cent last week was occasioned
partly by the Labor day holiday and
partly by an adjustment of operations
10 lower business volume. Sharpest
drops occurred in the Cleveland-Lo-
rain and Youngstown districts.
Scrap prices are rejecting the
easier mill situation together with
the growing uncertainty as to a con-
tinuance of exports to Japan. The
Iron Age composite price dropped to
s19.75, almost half way between the
high and low for the year.

has suffered from Summer dullness,
