One remarkable gelding that
has done things with all the
heart and power of great
thoroughbred is Rushaway. This
gelded son of Haste and Roseway
has withStood a. campaign de.
signed for a horse of iron. His
steel has been considerably
tempered, but he is still fighting,
although the chart indicates that
he is about to descend the scale
of his former glories.
LOWERS RECORD
It is a loss of great material
when such a horse as Rushaway
is not considered when in the
prime Of his form. The common
trait Of trainers and the general
characteristic Of horsemen is to
take everything from a horse
while he has it, and their eager
ness very seldom leaves anything
but the shell of a good performer
And so it has been with Rush
away, the derby horse. His record
is truly remarkable.
This ebony son Of Haste has
competed in five different derbieS
and has won three Of them.

Today we are to hear from
who is best qualified to dr.
1ootball-George Preston Mar
shall.
If the fact that Mr.. Marshall
has owned and operated a pro-
feSsional football team for the
past seven years, the last two at
q profit in Washington, and The
first five at an $85, 900 loss in
Boston, does not qualify him as
q man who knows his football,
let us call your attention to his
coonskin coat, which he doesn't
dare to take to California when
he departs day after tomorrow.
Bearded in his plateglass "pri-
Vate" office, where all who pass
on H Street might behold the
grandeur of its trim and modern
iStic fittings, Mr.. Marshall need
ed but one invitation to rn
oracle regarding the phase of
sport in which he pioneered
here.
NAMES GREATEST STARS
He whirled out of his swivel
hipped chair and started to pace
the floor like a puma in its cage,
and these are his approximate
reactions to the question as to
which player or players repre-
sent the ultimate in their par
ticular departments of football
play:
The greatest players G. P. M.
has seen in college OF profession
al football are Messrs. Pinckert,
Battles and Edwards-quite nat
urally. Had Mr.. M. not gone
forth to get the three greatest
players of his ken for his Red
skins, he would be guilty of
treachery to his purpose.
Pinckert, to Mr.. M. is the
greatest blocker in any type of
football.
Pinckert is the d deadliest
tackler.
One orchid for Pinckert. eh

CLARK TOP KICKER
Earl Dutch" Clark, until 10
days ago a member of the De-
troit Lions coaching staff and
just recently named Cleveland
Rams head coach. is the best
drop kicker Marshall has ever
witnessed - including Charles
Brickley.
Earl had as much distance as
Brickley and more accuracy,
quoth the Redskins chieftain
without even as much hesitancy
as it takes to flick the ashes
from a borrow cigarette.
Too, as a broken field runner,
Clark surpassed even Marshall's
former Cliff Battles, the erst-
while West Virginia Wesleyan
player out Of Akron, Ohio. Yes.
George had seen Harry Costello
roam the grilled field for
Georgetown, but Clark was the
best ever to pass beneath
Georges critical notice.
Sammy Baugh, always the
apple of Marshall's eye, still
stands at the top of the lot in
forward passing. but running
Texas Sam a close second is
Benny Friedman, the famed
Michigan marksman.
HONORS ISBELL
Marshall sees as the closest
competitor to Baugh in the item
of projecting the pigskin, one
Cecil Isbell, of the Green Bay
Packers, who is an all-around
back and even less dependent
than Baugh on a capable re-
ceiver. George holds that pass
ers like Baugh and 1sbell can
make a receiver look good.
Would Mr.. Marshall perhaps
pass on the matter of the best
receiver of a forward pass in or
out of professional football, now
or at any other time.
He would.
"Malone!"
ANY qualifications"
"Yes, Malone has never gotten
the recognition he deserves as a
receiver of forward passes be-
cause he isn't as good a carrier

mothers been hurt in an ac-
cident."
"That's tough" he said.
''Hope it's nothing serious.
I'll be waiting here until you
come back"
Oddly enough, it seemed
to Hamilton, she was smiling
as she walked toward the
rear.
Hamilton failed to notice
that Ed stiffened to alert
ness as, out of the corner of
his eye, he saw the two men
in the booth in front of him
get up quickly and prepare
to leave. Their movements
were unhurried and so were
Eds as he sauntered after
them to the counter.
REMOVES CASH BOX
Pete, busy with his cash
and register tape, still had
his back to the counter.
While one of the two men
stood in front of the cigar
counter, the other reached
quickly behind it. Ed, coldly
calm, saw the metallic CLINT
of Dorothy's cash box as it
was slipped under the wait
ing mans coat.
No one else had seen the
swift move. The man who
had snatched the box called
Pete and presented his bill.
While Pete was making the
change for him, Ed slipped
up behind the pair.
"Stay where you are," he
said in a low, warning voice.
81 have you covered. One
move and it'll be your last. "
He raised his voice. "Pete,
call Mr.. Hamilton and then
telephone for the police"
The two men, after a hasty
glance over their shoulders,
stiffened into immobility.
"That's right Ed said
quietly. "You re showing
sense. I'm not in uniform,
but I'm a cop-and, thanks
to you boys, I'll be a SER
geant after this"
Hamilton, with Dorothy in
his wake, came hurrying up
to them.
"What s wrong?" he asked
anxiously. ''Miss Mallon
said she telephoned the po-
lice to come here"
'Nice work. said Ed,
without turning his head.
"It won't be long now. I
got your signal, honey"
"What's happenedY" Ham
ilton demanded Of Ed.
"One of these two has your
cash box,' said Ed. 'The
other one took it from behind
the counter when Dorothy
went back to answer the
telephone. 1t was a nice bit
of timing, but thanks to her
signal to me, it didn't work.
She told me these men were
in here every day at this
time, Mr.. Hamilton, so I kept
an eye on them while I was
waiting for her.
"That'S splendid" Hamil.
ton, bewildered, managed to
say. "I'll see that the com.
pany doesn't forget this
Miss Mallon."
Don't bother about that .
Ed grinned. "She won't be
here or Miss Mallon for long
I'm taking her out of here tt

siren almost drowned ou'

when Miss Mallon told yo1
her mother had been in

"That was it." Ed grinnec
at him. ''That was her emer

he added, in response to Ham

Here it was, almost 5 and
her relief, the man who
worked through the dinner
and supper times, was late.
Pm sorry, Ed," she told
him. "'But I'm afraid I'm
going to be late. The night
man isn't here yet and I
can't begin to make up my
cash until he gets here. And
that II take quite some time;
you know how Saturdays
are: Our receipts Saturdays
are almost as much as two
other days. Will you wait?
REFUSES DATE
Before Ed could answer
one of the customers from
the bar that occupied the for
ward part of the restaurant
brushed him aside to pay his
bill. Rather the worse for
wear, the customer grinned
blearily at Dorothy's fresh,
clean blondeness.
Here y'are, dear" he
said, showing a bill across
the glass counter. OR you
doin' anythin' tonight"
"I'm afraid l am, Mr.. Mar
tin" she said. "Sorry."
II guess I'd better wait"
Ed growled. Cor maybe one
of those drunks will make
you a better offer"
Don't be jealous, Ed. You
know better than to think
that. You know, I have to
be polite to the customers"
''Nice folks" Ed remarked.
"Do you get many of 'em like
that drunk? Trying to make
dates, I mean"
"a few. But they're harm
less and I can get rid of
them easily enough" A
frown crossed her face and
she added, "There's some of
them, though, that puzzle
me-"
"For instance"
"Those two men sitting in
that second booth in front

=, They've been here every day
at this time for the last week.
They don't drink much; just
nurse a couple Of drinks for
about two hours. When they
pay their bill, they're very
conversational, but they've
never gotten fresh"
INNOCENT LOOKING
Ed turned slowly and sur
veyed the well-dress pair in
the booth. They looked inno-
cent enough both of them
completely occupied with
their drinks.
"Can you make anything of
it," he asked her.

thing funny about it. They
should be leaving soon; ;
here's Pete, my relief, and
they always leave about 10
minutes after he gets here"
Ed nodded to the night
cashier as he hurried to his
place behind the counter,
then said:
"Well, I'll keep an eye on
'em while I'm here. In the
meantime, till you get ready,
I m going to be customer.
I'm going to sit in that booth
in back of your two CONVEX
sational friends and have a
glass of beer. And don't for

away, "1'm a customer now" "
Dorothy smiled in answer
to Eds grin as she took her
cash box from the cigar case
and started to make up her
cash.
Pete stood behind her,
with his back to her as he
took his own cash box from
a little safe and began tc
count up his own cash in
preparation for taking over
the register.
Hamilton, the assistant
manager of the restaurant
hurried up to the counter.
"There's a telephone cal

CHANGES:
FOR ARLINGTON

ARLINGTON, Va, April %.
Names of the Clarendon and
Ridge telephone exchanges in
Arlington county will be changed
about June l to eliminate con-
fusion in the washington dial
system, j. A. Cummins, manager
of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company here, an
nounced today.
The Clasendon exchange will
be changed to Oxford, and the
Ridge exchange will be renamed
Ivy.
Users of the dial system in
Washington have caused confu-
sion by attempting to dial the
Clarendon exchange and getting
a Cleveland exchange number,
and by mixing Ridge with the
Randolph and Republic exchanges
in Washington, Cummins said.
Because telephone numbers in
Arlington are being built up to
four digits, preparatory to the in
stallation of a new system here
this fall, changes also are being
made in county telephone num-
bers. The changes will be carried
in the new directory, which will
be delivered in June.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
The high light of the Congress
came late yesterday afternoon,
when President Roosevelt came
to address the delegates, the first
time he has done so since he en-
tered the White House.
The D. A. r. has officially op-
posed many of the New Deal poll
cies, and yesterday morning
passed several resolutions aimed
against the Administration.
But when the President walked
on the stage of Constitution Hall
on the arm of his military aide,
they gave him a warm reception,
and as he spoke they applauded
freely.
The President spoke in a jocular
vein, telling them that as a de-
scendant of Mayflower and Revo-
lutionary families, he would call
to their attention that ali present
were descended from Immigrants
and revolutionists."
PRAISES YOUTH WORK
Turning to the serious side, he
praised the organization for the
work it is doing among the youth
of the nation, and stressed the
Importance of such work.
The President pledged to the
Daughters that "the sovereignty
of the United States shall never
be impaired" He also assured
them the United States is taking
definite and practical steps for
the defense of the nation"
After his brief address, the
President joined with the dele

Q.N.SO President Roosevelt re-
defined the two prime detectives
of the American neutrality law at
his press conference today, asst
ing that so far as practical under
the present act it had been ap-
piled satisfactorily to date,
The law is designed first to keep
the United States from being in
volved in foreign wars, Mr.. Roose-
welt pointed out.
Secondly, if foreign war does
take place, the law is designed to
see that this nation, so far as
is humanity possible, avoids giving
aid to either side of the conflict
or to penalizing either one of the
combatantS.
BRITISH MISSION
The President was asked whether
he thought the law had worked
satisfactorily in the case of the
Spanish revolution. He replied af-
TENTATIVELY insofar as was prac-
tical under the present law.
The President had no comment
to make on the impending ar

which will seek to buy American
