Wyoming Loses Hard Drinking Title;
 District of Columbia 1st, Nevada End

To add further to the embarras- ment, Natwick pointed out that even in wine consumption, Wyoming was far below the national average. The national per capita figure for wine was listed at :49 balloons, while in Wyoming it was half that, with .36 gallons. California took first place in this field, Natwick said, with 2.S6 gallons per person.
 There were no cheers when it was reported that beer drinking in the state almost reached the national average. The state consumption was 12 gallons, while for the na- ton 1t was quoted at 1929. Minne- sota led the nation with 2l.65 gall Ions per capita, while Nevada again scored with a ranking of 206O gallons.
 So the atmosphere remained tense as bartenders wondered if their customers would take up the challenge.

 This, they thought, was no busi- ness for men who bend elbows.
 However, when the Lions club luncheon was over it was learned that Commissioner Natwick had fired 8 blast that rattled every liquor glass in the state.
 Wyoming had kept its per capita standing of 1:25 gallons of distilled spirits per year-but that was far below the record set in Washington. Residents of the nations capital drank 3.79 gallons of hard liquor for every man, woman and child, Natwich reported.
 Wyoming's record barely sur passed the national average of 1:l9 gallons, the commissioner said, and even Nevada had crowded into the alcoholic limelight with 2.98 gallons. There was little condolence in the fact that Iowa ranked low with a percapita average of AS gallons, as it was. known that Iowa was a dairy state, anyway.

V, Cheyenne, Wyo., = (UP) - Once healning bartenders are bit surly in Wyoming now and two-fisted drinkers aren't quite so happy. They've both lost their laurels, for the state no longer holds its No. l position in the consumption of hard liquor.
 It wasn't that Wyoming imbibers hadn't been doing their part-it was just that people in Washing ton, D. O., and Nevada had been doing more.
 u- The news engulfed the barroon1s with the suddenness of a full bottle crashing to the floor. Drinking men had been basking in the light of their distilled glory for two long years-a length of time, it was con- fided by one busboy, during which many ceased to take it seriously and occasionally even spoke lightly of the record.
 When it was announced that O. o. Natwick, director of the Wyom- ing liquor commission, was to speak before the Cheyenne Lions club, topers barely noted the news. Many surmised that the commissioner was

British Are Fooled.
To name a couple of more reasons
why sporting enthusiasts were up in
the clouds over Battleship's victory,
we might mention that in England
the authorities do not recognize Man
o. War AS a thoroughbred, claiming
that by his breeding he is not eligible
for their stud book Today's per-
formance by one Of his sons seems to
give the majubs something to think
about in the breeding line.
Battieships breeding on the sire
side is strictly American, but his dam,
Quarantaine, which was foaled in 1915.
was imported to this country from
France in 1924 by Mr.. Salmon. Quar-
antaine is by the French sire, Sea
Sick, out OF Queenie by War Dance.
Again Mrs. Scott is sister of Will
liam du Pont, jr.. owner of Rosemont
and other good stake horses in Amer
lea. Mrs. Scott has for years been
one of the mainstays of steeplechase
racing in this country.
Battleship is not the first horse she
has sent to the Grand National. In
1888 her great jumper Troublemaker
went abroad in the care of the late
Noel Laing, who conditioned the horse
for the race and rode himself, but
was unable to get in the money, al
though Troublemaker jumped the
course we'll enough and was one of
the few to finish.
Because of Mr.. Laings belief that
1t takes more than one season to accli-
mate an American horse in England,
Mrs Scott gave Battleship two over
there before he was put to the final
test. This year he has won handily
some nice races at good distance
always being ridden by the youngster
Bruce Hobbs, who was only 16 when
he started handling Battleship and
only II when he won the Grand Ma
tional, probably the youngest rider
ever to do so. The victory was some
thing of family affair, for Bruce's
brother Reginald is Battleship's
