course we asked him, being
filled with curiosity. 1t seems
that the term originated with
the French, who called such
walls "Ah An" meaning a sur
prise, a wall that one CHANGED
upon. Then later, the English,
taking this same term, changed
it to "Ha-Ha." Why they
changed it, nobody knows, but
at least we learned one new
thing.

DUNLAP DEFEATS
 SACCOLI, l25=04

Vincent Greenleaf Dunlap, the fat but friendly 'coco-cola kid" ex- ploded another bombshell in state cut circles when he topped the sec ond place Dom Soccoli, 125 to 94, last night at the Wooster with one of his finest exhibitions of the green table game. High runs of 28, 27, A and 25 were recorded in favor of MT. D. who attributed his unusual success to coco-cola gargles every eight minutes by the clock. Jimmy Gregory of New Britain clinched the title of state champ with IA wins in IT matches to date.
 Goombar Soccoli had very tough evening all told, also being taken over by the local rug rajah, M. Saliman Malouf, who made 60 balls before Soccon got 100. About the only upset left now is for Phil Bar bour to beat Bob Stone, and Frenchy Kelly to beat Pheelop.

 Two prominent absentees were Lawrin, Kentucky Derby winner. and War Admiral, champion three year-old of 1887, who were among entries named yesterday at Miami for the Widener handicap, to be run the same day at Hialeah Park. Seabiscuit, victor over the Admiral in a recent match race at Pimlico, Md, also was named for the Flor
 
 ida event.
 Weights for the Santa Anita will be posted on December with min imum assignments of 100 pounds. Horsemen were certain Seabiscuit would draw top impose, probably 133 pounds. At least 8 dozen others will break somewhere between 122 and 128.
 The nomination list topped last years record of 93. A total of 43 three-year- were entered; thirty 4-year -olds; B two-year-olds; B five-year-olds; Seven six-year- olds and one seven year old, Maryneu.
 Weights Will Tell
 New York, December T. UP) - Charles s. Howard, owner of Sea- biscuit, indicated today that there was a possibility his horse would meet War Admiral again, in the $50, ,O00-added Widener cup race to be run March at Hialeah, Fla.
 Howard said that, contrary to public belief, Seabiscuit now is in Columbia, s. C., and not Califor- mia. He said Seabiscuit would stay there until weights are announced for the Santa Anita handicap and the Widener race, both of which will be run March 4.
 When we see the weights" How ard said, i've will decide between the two races. I am willing to ad- init that the weights will play 3 heavy part in the decision. would like to have Seabiscuit defeat War Admiral again and also am keen to have him beat Stagehand if he can. It looks now as though those two horses will race at Miami"

 The sale of their star goalie Tiny" Thompson to the Detroit Red Wings apparently won't affect the Boston Bruins winning ways this season.
 Today they were out in front of the National Hockey league race by three points, thanks to last nights 20 shutout of the Chicago Black Hawks, Stanley cup winners.
 The victory gave the Bruins a total of 15 points, three ahead of the New York Rangers. The Hawks re- mained deadlocked with the New York Rangers for third.
 The Bruins forged into the lead when Bobby Bauer scored in S:29 on a pass from Milt Schmidt while Earl Seibert, Chicago defense star, was in the penalty box. Gordon Pettinger score in 16:32 of the last period on pass from Getliffe while the Hawks were concentrating all tl-eir forces in Bruin territory in and ef- fort to tie the score:
