Admiral Not at His Best
In Other Pin1lico Races

'Seabiscuit defeated War Admiral,
he would have to break the track
record. was right. One-fifth of a
second was knocked from the rec
ord of 1856 rs, set up by Pompoon
in winning the Dixie Handicap last
spring.
War Admiral has only one fact
in his favor in his defeat, and
that is that he has never shown
his best races over the Pimlico
course. He has won there, but
still they were not his most bril-
liant victories. Masked General
almost upset his winning record
last fall at this track and, had he
not run to the outside fence, would
have defeated War Admiral by a
good margin, instead Of finishing
second.
When winning the Preakness,
the Admiral finished by only a
head in front Of Pompoon.
This is not meant to take any
thing away from Seabiscuit, for
he proved himself king of the turf
in the match race Of yesterday,
and a true champion can run over
any kind Of race track, carry
weight over any distance and look
a fast horse in the eye.
And so my compliments and
admiration are to Seabiscuit and
his owner. Charles s. Howard.

tine Of claiming and handicap
races.
It was truly a great race and
one that will be recorded in thor
oughbred history with all the
honor and glory it justly afforded.
The whole world loves a winner,
and Seabiscuit has gained the
championship of the turf with
hard-earned honest and game
races.
POPULAR VICTORY
While War Admiral went to the
post much the favorite, there were
secret wishes in the general pub
lies heart that the little red horse
would win. He has raced hard,
met all opposition, given weight,
run all distances and proved game
ness and quality throughout. His
victory was d most popular one.
War Admiral is truly a great colt
and with all due respect to Charlie
Kurtsinger, for he is a good boy
on a horse, he did not ride as
smart a race as George Woolf.
Seabiscuit and Woolf used a
lot of psychology on the Admiral,
and it worked. They knew it
would never do to let the brown

WESTERN STAYS
IN RUNNING FOR.
HIGH GRID TITLE.

Western High School is still in
the running for the title today
following it's 12-to-0 defeat Of
Woodrow Wilson before 2,400 at
Western Stadium.
OF less effect on the interScho-
laStic race was the Eastern-Ana-
costa scoreleSs tie before 1,500 at
Eastern Stadium.
Westerns victory gives 1t a rec
ord of three successes in four
starts. A defeat for either Central
or Tech, now tied for the lead
with three victories and no defeats
each, will automatically throw the
Red Raiders of Western into a tie
for second place.
western took advantage of
breaks in the first and last quar-
tiers, to score touchdown in each.
Five minutes after the game
started Rem Lawrence recovered
a tumble on Wilson's one-yard
line and on the first play the
alert Western fullback lugged the
leather across for the first score
Of the game.
In the fourth period, Barnes
intercepted pass near midfield
and teamed with Hilleary to ad-
vance the ball to Wilson'S 21.
Barnes plunged across for the
touchdown.
Eastern's aerial attack failed it
tie resulted in its game with the
Anacostia Indians and a scoreless
tie resulted. After a Sea-saw game
was about over, Eastern's backs
made one determined drive to Ana

Here Paul Cohill started hurl-
ing passes, three of them netting
but six yards when the ball was
lost on downs. With it went
EaStern's big opportunity to score.

ficers for the coming year.
AS was expected, heading the
slate on most of the nomina-
tions was the name Of MRS.
RALPH PAYNE, three times
president of the w. D. G. A.
Two Good Reasons
But MRS. PAYNE, mindful of
the honor which had been Of
fered her, refused with thanks.
Congressional stands an eX-
cellent chance of holding the
women's national championship
next year. MRS. PAYNE, more
than any other one individual,
was responsible for convincing
Congressional of the adviSability
Of extending an invitation to
the U. S. G.. A. to hold the ma
tional at the River Road Club
in 1889, After the invitation
had been wired, Congressionals
board of governors asked MRS.
PAYNE to serve as head of the
committee on arrangements if
the u. S. G. A. should award the
national to them next year.
That job would be no snap,
requiring great deal Of time
end q masterful buildup to make
the event successful. To leave
herself free for the national
was the main motive which
prompted MRS. PAYNE to de-
cline to serve another year as
president Of the w. D. G. A. She
plans to invite a representative
from each club to serve on the
committee for arrangements for
the national with her if Con-
sressionarS bid is accepted, =,
Another reason is that, &C
cording to a new amendment to
the constitution, the retiring
president of the association
serves on the executive board
during the ensuing year as hon.
orary vice president in an ad-
visory capacity. She can still
give the association the benefit
Of her past experience.

ARMSTRONG'SGO col
WITH GARCIA SET.
n 0 I'VE MBER Is.
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 Q,N.S).
The Saddest man in our town to-
day is Ceferino Garcia, the bat
ting Filipino. The maddest is
his manager, Ceferino ParnassOs.
The most worried is Henry Arm
strong, the welterweight cham
pion. And the most disappointed is
Mike Jacobs, the fight promoter.
And all because there will he
no Armstrong Garcia fight, as
scheduled, in Madison Square Gar
den tonight.
The combined sadness, anger,
worry and disappointment of the
aforesaid quartet came about when
Armstrong fell while taking final
light workout yesterday and, to
quote his doctor, Slipped his
sacro-iliac articulation, affecting
the nerves of his right leg"
In plain language Henry has a
bum back and a bad leg, and to-
day his torso is trussed up like an
Egyptian mummy.
This, of course, Is all very an
noying and painful to Henry, but
Henry's physical pain is nothing
compared to the mental anguish
of Garcia, ParnasSus and Jacobs.
Jacobs was the first to recover
and Immediately announced the
fight would be held November 25,
subject to the approval of the box
ing commission and the doctors.
Garcia, man of few words, was
almost in tears when he heard the
bad news. He was like starving
man reaching for a hamburger.
He thinks all he has to do to win
the title is to get Armstrong in
the ring and he'll quickly have
the title he Graves.

After Georgetown's brilliant vic
tory in Philadelphia, when il
shellacked a highly favored TEN

ials of G. w. and the Redbirds Of
Brookland, we find that victory
and defeat revolved about the

spondent learned that young Joe
McFadden is the real success Of
the carryings-on Of the undefeated
HoyaS. Take it from a fellow who
knows and who saw the game.
"This McFadden really has
that team going places. You
know, at one time of the Temple
game, two of the Georgetown
players appeared to me to be
arguing in the huddle. It looked
to me as though they had their
own ideas on what play that
should be called. SO did McFad-
den, so he walked away and let
those birds argue it out. Then
McFadden came back, gave his
team the signal and, before the
arguing young fellows knew
what it was all about, Mellen-
deck, Darmohray, or somebody
ripped down the field for a nice
gain.

this gent:
"I never saw such signal call
ing. It was terrific. I thought
G. w. was going some place at
the beginning of the ball game.
The signal caller Immediately
called a play and Vic Sampson
ran wide around left end for a
nice gain of is yards. But the
play was called back because of
a clipping penalty on the Colo
nials.
II thought the play would be
called soon again. Well the sig
nal never come for that play
again during the entire ball
game.
Naturally, Ole Miss found out
that G. w. was running all its
plays into the line, so its line
closed in for these line bucks.
The signal caller never did try
that wide end run again, and
I'll never figure it out"

ing the signals in the game.

Points Lesson to People
y Trained to Enjoy Cruelty
, the Editor of The Star:

10 tne Eoltor OF The Star:
The terrible suffering, death and eco
nomic loss caused by the civil war in
Spain Is staggering What can it mean?
No one can answer. But certain thoughts
arise in the minds of those who know
somewhat of Spain's history.
Phillip II was King and Thomas de
Torquemada was very close to the King
and one Of his trusted advisers. The l1or-
rible tortures Of the Inquisition were in
stigated by these two arch fiends.. The
Netherlands. were the scene of the abom-
ination. sMen, women and children were
put to death by means almost too dread
ful to mention. Burning at the stake was
one Of the common amusements of the
brutal crowd appointed by the King to
execute his will. Why such horrors? Be-
cause the people of the Netherlands
claimed the right tosworship God in their
own way and according to their own
conscience.
For many generations past the chief
amusement both for the mob and for
the cultured class in Spain has been to
see the agonies of a bull tortured to
death az bull fights
A people trained to enjoy cruelty SO
degrading is now realizing the meaning
OF the cruelty and debasement of war.

tween these fearful realities, but at least
one may recall the old adage that some

Cancer in Washington.

There are approximately 2,500 cases
of cancer-diagnosed and undiagnosed--
In Washington. Ii
The death, rate is close to 140 per
year per 100000. Only about 900 of
the victims receive treatment at any
of the twelve District institutions
equipped for the work. Last year 354
were given x-ray therapy at single
one of these institutions-the Warwick
Memorial Clinic attached to Garfield
Hospital. When the 237 cases reported
from Mount Alto, which do not properly
belong in the Districts quota, are elimi-
mated this means that the Warwick
Clinic gave approximately half of all
cancer treatments in Washington.
Until quite recently this was one Of
the best-equipped cancer centers tn the
United States. There was hardly any
thing approaching 1t in the Middle
Atlantic region. It's services were denied
to nobody, rich or poor. white orscolored,
who came to it for help. Now, it seems,
this clinic has reached the limit OF
its present capacities with no evidence
whatsoever that the cancer burden in
the District Of Columbia or inthe coun-
try at large is growing less Even II

With increasing emphasis being placed

Legislation which would accomplish
this has already passed the House and is

entirely permissive rather than manda-

derstandable concern by those who might

Hope after hope has proved futile.
There is no assurance that there ever

OF malignant growths grouped under

has been abundant proof, however. that
the various maladies can be greatly

cases arrested permanently by various
forms Of radiation. With this realiza-

as to how they are to meet the problem

A Medical Monopoly?

a new and interesting turn has been
given the group health" controversy by
disclosure that the Department Of jus
tice has begun an inquiry into complaints
that the American Medical Association
and the District of Columbia Medical
Society have combined to establish, in
effect, medical trust.
The administrator new trust
buster" Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold, in charge of the de-
partments Antitrust Division, is di-
recting the investigation. The purpose,
it is said, is to determine whether the
fight waged by the A. M. A. and the
District Medical Society against the
much discussed Group Health Associa-
ton, Inc, constitutes a combination in
restraint of trade" within the meaning
of Federal antitrust laws.
The inquiry, perhaps by coincidence
only, comes close on the heels of a sug-
gestion by the law journal Of MIR.
Arnold's alma mater, Yale University
that certain bylaws of the District
Medical Society and the A. M. A., pro-
hibiting members from engaging in
group practices. are in conflict with anti
monopoly statutes.
1t might be embarrassing to Mr.. Arnold
and to his chief, Attorney General Cum
mings, if nothing should come of this in
quiry, for inevitably they would be sub
ject to the charge that they were merely
waving club over the heads of the
societies in an effort to frighten them
into abandoning their war on "socialized
medicine; that they were resorting to
the same sort of intimidation charged
against the societies by defenders of the
group health plan.
1t would be unfair thus to impugn the
good faith of the Department Of Justice.
Both sides in the bitter group health
controversy should welcome interven-
ton of the Department Of Justice. The
air has been thick with charges and
counter charges, and it should do no
harm to have an impartial fact-finding
agency study the evidence and weigh its
worth. If the law has been violated by
either side, it is the duty Of the depart
ment to take proper action. fn
Until the atmosphere is cleared of the
accusations and recriminations that
have been flying about during recent
weeks, the suffering public, whose only
interest is to have its pains and aches
eased in the quickest and, most eficient
manner, will continue to look on with
varying degrees of bewilderment.
Indeed, when all is said and done, the
fact remains that the man on the street,
and even Mr.. Arnold, is going to settle
for himself, without help of the Depart
ment Of Justice or any one else, the
question of which physician or group of
physicians he win choose when his sinus
starts acting up or a cramp seizes him
amidships. That Is no time to bubble
about monopolies or socialism, His only
interest in such emergency is to take the
shortest cut to the best physician avail
able, irrespective of the latter's profess
sional afdliations.

where now legally existent. Without ex-
ception, representatives Of various civic
groups, property owners and trade or
ganizations have expressed themselves as
satisfied with the revised section. With
almost equal unanimity they have sup
plemented this approval with the wish
that the measure as now written should
become law during the present Congress.
OF particular weight in determining
the merit of the pending legislation Is
the fact that the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and the zon-
ing Commission, public agencies vested
with the principal responsibility of de-
veloping and preserving the citys physi.
cal beauty, have interested themselves
actively in this matter and are the actual
sponsors of the legislation. q product Of
some two years of careful, consideration
and adaptation to the needs of the city.
It's prompt enactment should be OF
value to the rapidly growing national
community.
