lies after they have been Sc
lected.
POPULAR SYSTEMS
The most popular systems in
supplying names for the young
stock is to combine syllables
from the sire and dam, and a
very good example of this is the
leading 3-year-old filly of 1888,
Jacola. Jacola is a daughter
Of Gmp1 Jacopo, out of La
France. So the name selected
for heI' is a portion of the sire's
name combined with the dams.
Bull Lea is another horse that
has been named in accordance
with this custom. He is by Bull
Dog, out of Rose Leaves, and
the combination of Bull from
his sire and the first three let
ters Of Leaves, from his dam,
gives him the name.
Another favored method in
selecting names is to select one

Farley bill, fixing June 20 next
as the date when the New Jersey

ton of horse-race betting, has been

The proposed amendment to the
State constitution calls for pari-

the prohibition of lotteries. roul-

In Tennis World

NEW YORK, Dec. "a N.N.S.).
Don Bulge, who stood between
Bobby Riggs and top national
ranking last year, today took
time out from practice for his
forthcoming pro debut against
Ellsworth Vines to boost his
Davis Cup teammates to the
head of the class in the red
heads version of the first ten
ranking.
Budge's first ten probably
differs considerably from the
U. S. L. T. A. official ranking,
which should be out soon. For
one thing, the U. s. body will
surely put Bulge first in the
lists. Don eliminates himself
from his selections.

ON PEDESTRIANS
2 Associations Assert

By A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens AssCcia tiOns Editor

Congress Heights and the Wash
ingtonians, last night opposed en-
actment of any regulations for
pedestrian control as unnecessary
and impossible of enforcement.
Instead of a pedestrian-control
law, the Congress Heights group
urged the construction Of under
passes at congested street inter
sections as the logical way to
handle the situation. E. ]. Read,
former president, pointed out that
both New York and London are
meeting the problem by underpass
construction.
HIGHER SPEEDS
The District Commissioners were
asked to raise the speed limit from
20 to 80 miles per hour on Nichols
Avenue Southeast, northbound be-
tween Milwaukee Street and Sher-
idan Road, and southbound on
Howard Street to Milwaukee Ave
nue.. DR.. Winifried OverholSer, Su-
perintendent of st. Elizabeth'S
Hospital, it was reported, favors
the increase.
The association reaffirmed a
former action, urging the appoint
ment of District Commissioner
from the Southeast, and recon.
mended Adelbert w. Lee, president
Of the Randle Highlands Citizens
Association, for the post.
A donation of $25 was made to
the Community Chest, and IS 70

treasurer; Mrs. Edna Dulin, sec
retary, and Mrs. Alma Allen,
financial secretary. Taylor ana
Cooper were named delegates to
the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations.
PARKING BAN OPPOSED
Besides opposing pedestrian con-
troll, the Washingtonians also
went on record against the pro-
poSal of Commissioner David Nc
Coach. jr.. banning all night park
ing. Abolition of right and left
turns at all busy intersections was
asked.
A request was forwarded to
President Roosevelt urging early
appointment of a peoples council.
for which an appropriation of
$500 was made available by the
last session of Congress.
The American University Park
Citizens Association last night
protested to the Public Utilities
Commission the recent action of
the Capital Transit Company in
reducing service on the Massachu-
sets Avenue bus line. It was
charged overcrowding and delay
was the result.
CRITICISM MADE
The company also was criticized
for operating obsolete and worn-
out equipment on the line.
The association opposed park
ing on streets adjacent to play
grounds. 1t also opposed an ap-
plication to establish a gasoline
station on the south side of Massa-
chuSetts Avenue Northwest, be-
tween Forty-eighth ana Forty
ninth Streets.
