N MAJOR YANEz
threat: TO U. S.
FOR JUMP TITLE

VII SVNIu 66
(COnt. from First Sports Page)
took the individual championship
in a jump-off against himself on
Toqui and Capt. John L. Hines of
the Fort Myer Horse Show team,
on Clipped Wings.
Colo-Colo cleared all the six
jump-off obstacles, including the
Toronto Bank. raised to S feet 8
inches, in 271a seconds. Toqui
was not so stouthearted. He took
one look at the raised Toronto
and tried to change Major Yanez'
mind about going over. Again the
Major put him at it and this time
he cleared it beautifully, along
with the rest Of the heightened
jumps, in 43 seconds. Toqui's
reward was the reserve champion
ship.
Clipped Wings completed the
circuit in 231a seconds, but
carried off a rail going over the
post-and.rail on the inbound trip,
which cost him the reserve cham
pionship.
GOVERNORS CUP EVENT
Another feature of today's show,
ranking second in importance to
the military jumping, is the inter-
State competition between six
four-man teams for the Governors
Cup. Two Virginia squads are
tied for first place, following
yesterdays encounter. Today the
interstate teams will negotiate
the more difficult course B, which
includes a double in-and-out and
a stone wall and, again, the To
ronto Bank.
Virginia team No. 3, headed by
U. S. Randle. of Vienna, Va,
and Virginia team No. /, Of which
Morris Clark, of Orange, Va, is
captain, have only 13 fault points
scored against them. Cleanest
performer so far has been Ran
dies Way, who, in spite of his
fast pace, managed to have only
one point scored against him.
The Districts squad is by no
means out of the running, being
only one point behind the leaders.
Rocksie was hurdling high, wide
and handsome in the jumping
class just before the show was
called on account Of darkness last
night, and should aid his rider,
Miss Margaret Cotter, captain Of
the District team, in leading her
squad to a better showing today.
The Maryland team standing Of
1917 fault points gives Fenton
Fadeley's squad a much more diff
ficult assignment. But If Lacquer
Lady is in fine fettle today. with
able support from Black Caddy,
the freak jumper, and the veteran
Hunger Marcher, Maryland may
yet be up in the contenders' ranks
by tomorrow.
HOUNDS IN EXHIBITION
For the second successive day,
spectators will be treated to a
sight seldom seen in the local show
ring. The Redland Hunt Club will
exhibit its pack Of hounds follow
ing the military competition,
through the courtesy of Thomas T.
Mott, M. F.. H.
Yesterday the Middleburg
hounds completely captivated the
crowd by their well-mannered ring
performance for Bob MadduX, the
nuntSman, and his whipperS-in.
The American.bred hounds packed
beautifully. with the exception Of
one individualist who set off with
inquisitive nose after a photogra-
+pher. He quickly returned to the
pack, however. in answer to the
huntsman's call.
Last event on today's card is
the colorful hunt class with IL
teams entered. Mrs. Cary Jack
son, Mr.. Randle and Mrs. George
Greenhalgh are each entering
three teams.
Other events scheduled for to-
day are the jumping class and
open working hunters event held
over from yesterday when dark
ness closed in; thoroughbred
hunters; $3.50 working hunters
stake: working hunters to be
SHOWN by amateurs, and handy
