It's all very well to jest about Holly

couldn't prove it on a Frank Borzage

In Borzage love scenes the ten

the characters go about other deeds

Gold Gun
Race IN
TopPlace

NEW YORK, April 122.-With the
British International or Harms-
worthy Trophy relegated to another
year of inactivity, the American
Gold Cup championships will con-
tinue to receive the star billing In
world motorboat racing circles dur
ing 1888. This international 12-liter
classic will be run at Detroit over
Labor Day next September.
The Gold Cup, with entries from
four nations last year. became n
real test for world supremacy in
the 12-liter class Not only did
some stirring competition develop
but the race produced new speed
records for every competitive dis
lance in the Gold and Presidents
Cup event.
Reports from Europe claim that
both the French and Italians will
make another bid for the Gold Cup
on the Detroit River this year and
Canada is almost certain to be rep
resented A still further increase in
speed is anticipated which will add
to the international Importance OF
the race. Last year new lap rec
ord of II .446 miles an hour was es-
tablished, a new heat m ark OF
68645 m. p. h. was turned in, and
Notre Dame, Herb Mendelson's
winning boat, averaged 63.47 miles
an hour for the total distance OF
ninety miles.
Despite the presence OF numer-
/ Gus 12-liter craft in Europe no
single event for the class on the
continent compares in Importance
10 the American Gold Cup and the
European boats never have turned
up the speed in competition that
they were forced to make ON the
\ Detroit River course last fall.
England is reviving the Duke OF
York Trophy race this year and the
Spreckles Trophy for outboards will
be continued in France as the out
standing internati o nal events
abroad likely to attract American
entries.

national Tangle
Bu PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Prob-
ably it was inevitable that the 1889
New York worlds fair and Grover
Whalen should become involved in
international affairs. Now that they
nave, Mr.. Whalen, whose efforts in
,ther fields have been almost Nap
)leonic, is trying to wash his hands
# that aspect of fair promotion and
allow Secretary of State Hull to
bear the brunt.
Mr.. Whalen came to Washing
ton to show President Roosevelt
some of the plans for spending the
$3,000,O00 contributed by the fed
eral government to make a tourists
delight of Flushing meadows, where
the fair is to be. The plans are
handsome no end, and SO is Mr..
Whalen.
After he emerged from the Pres
ident's office he stopped in the gen.
eral White House reception room to
show the plans to reporters and to
explain some of the business about
the fair. 1t was at that point that
we discovered Mr.. Whalen's interest
in international affairs.
Up To Mr.. Hull
The Nazi anschluss was kept a
long distance from American shores
for the most part, but it reverberat-
ed in Flushing meadows. When Hit
Ter anschlussed Austria, he liquid
ated one of Mr.. Whalen's most in
teresting customers. Prior to the
anschluss, Mr. Whalen had promises
from GA nations to prepare exhibits
for the fair. Austria, one of the Ga,
had about it some of the perfume
of the Balkans and the Orient and
might have been expected to con-
tribute an exotic note the like of
which can not come from Germany
even when the anschluss is includ-
ed
For all practical purposes Mr.
Whalen has written Austria off his
list although officially he won't take
such a telling step as that until
Secretary Hull has sanctioned the
anschluss, which he has not yet
not fully.
But that is not all. There is the
Spanish affair. Mr.. Whalen barely
had outlined his fair program than
General Franco. head of the In
surgents put in a bid for space.
We didn't learn whether Mr.. Whal-
en- invited General Franco to parti-
cipate. Mr.. Wnalen was in unfam-
liar surroundings in Washington
and among unfamiliar questioners
and chose to discuss the safer sub
jects of dioramas and park ent-
RANGES
We did learn that he is withhold
ing acceptance of the Franco ex-
hibit. To accept might imply rec
ignition of the Franco regime. and
Mr.. Whalen was chary of taking
such step.
That is a matter which Sec
rotary Hull must settle" he said
