NEW YORK, May 15.-If the
experts" had listened to Sunny Jim
Fitzsimmons, who trained the colt,
they wouldn't have to be "eating" q
lot of glowing words about Johns
town today.
Because while all the raves were
going round about Jamestown's big
boy, comparing him to Man O. War
and Gallant Fox and War Admiral,
Mr.. Fitz had been saying right along
to hold off on that great" stuff
until his galloper had run a route
in the mud.
Hes a real nice race horse" the
gray little master mind of the turf
had replied to all questions, but
won't know if he's the greatest un-
til he's gone in the mud or has run
mile and a half"
So Sunny Jim probably was the
least disappointed of all when Chal-
ledon, a undermining son of Chal-
lenger II, came home with victory
in the rich Preakness and Johns
town finished next to last over Pim-
lico's racing strip, soaked by rain
for most of the day.
Needs Fast Track.
"It's just like I said," Mr.. Fitz
pointed out today. II guess he just
can't run in the mud. Give us a
fast track and Big John will pass
them again"
That's a likely theory, too, for
William Woodward's long-striding
bay has worlds of speed on fast
footing. But Saturdays race def
nitely exploded the myth that had
made Johnstown one of the turf's
great gallopers. He's a good horse,
because no selling platter can win
four straight 3-year- -old outings, in
cluding the Kentucky Derby, by q
total of Is lengths. And the son OF
jamestown had done Just that until

Born With Polo MoIIet
In His Mouth

we bOth laughed heartily at this
sally, for it is common knowledge
around Duffy's clam bar that few
men in the world possess a deeper
and sounder knowledge of polo
known to the early Persians as
african dominoes than your cor
respondent. You might say that
was brought up with polo mallet in
my mouth This led to a tooth dis
order which was later corrected by
bridgework.
Polo will reach its "Waterloo"-its
social climax, in other words-next
month, when the English and Amer
lean international teams come to-
gether with crash at Meadowbrook,
Long Island, which is the mecca for
the sport in this country, though a
resolution to change the name of the
town to Mecca, Long Island, and in
stall Arabian street cleaners, re-
Gently was defeated by the Board OF
Selectmen.
The person who lurches out to
MeadoWbrook to watch these
matches might just as well have
stayed home if he does not under
stand the rules, and something Of
the background, of polo. Polo's
background is magnificent-bright
pink, with liver -colored polka dots.
The rules are similar to those of
fy-casting.
Here are the points to keep IN
mind:
l. Horses can be changed only be-
tween chukkers, or in the middle of
a stream, which amounts to the
same thing.
O. The "chukker" is not to be con-
fused with the bowler" in cricket
or the pitcher" in baseball. The
bowler is a type of hat, and the
pitcher is something you can take to
the well one Cd time too often,
whereas the chukker is the equiva-
lent of the stymie in golf.
3. When a player drives the ball,
or "pigskin," between the uprights
with his mallet, he is credited with
a wicket" and the referee shouts,
"Oh, boy, that was a wicket shot!"
H, the game is simple.

TIPS You on Polo
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent OF The Star.

NEW YORK, May IS (NA.N.A).
"A man or woman is practically
"hors de combat" meaning no good
socially, If he, she. or it does not
follow the grand old game of polo.
A prominent vegetarian once ap-
preached me in Turkish bath and
said:
. "Lardner, would 1t be correct to
state that a person who does not
understand polo would be better
dead?"
Scratching my chest, replied in
the affirmative.
Yes, Trevelyan," I said thought
fully, ION the whole, that's true.
Ignorance of polo is what you might
call 'faute de mieux," or a living
death
Then why don't you cut your
throat?" said Trevelyan, quick as
flash. "You can't even keep a box
score"

The Merchants Wholesale Groc-
cry Company, Inc, organized here
twenty years ago by fifty merch-
ants, and which has since be-
ONE one Of the most important
business houses in Hagerstown,
will move into it's new home
within the next few weeks, it was
announced this morning by Roy B.
Mowen, manager.
The new home of the wholesale
grocery company, located at West
Franklin and Walnut streets, is
probably one of the most modern
plants of it's kind in the State of
Maryland. 1t is equipped with
elevator service, is two stories
high and has loading facilities for
sixteen trucks. A railroad siding
enables the company to unload
large quantities of merchandise
with the least possible effort, and
included in the building is a large
cold storage section for perishable
goods, such as fruits, meats, vege-
tables, etc. The new building
covers a floor space of $4,000
feet. This includes a basement
under the entire plant.
Plans have already been COM
pleted for the dedication and for
NAL opening of the building. The
program extends over a period of
three days. climaxing with a ban
quet. Many prominent men con-
nected with the food business in
the eastern section of the United
States will be in attendance.
The Merchants Wholesale Groc-
cry Company has an interesting
history. 1t was organized in De-
cember 1919, under the name of
The Greasy Company, and it's first

marager was Robert M. Fisher, Of
Columbus. Ohio T'-~ company
was formed under a cooperative
plan and merchandise was handled
for its fifty charter members on a
cost-plus three per cent. basis. In
otherwords. three per cent was
added on groceries sold it's mem
bers to cover overhead and oper-
ating expenses of the warehouse.
The same policy continues today.
Early records of the company
show that the first sale was that
of 25 pounds of pepper which sold
for As cents per pound. Two
years after the firm started bust
ness Mr.. Roy Mowen, then a clerk
in the freight offices Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, accepted a posi-
ton with the organization as ship
ping clerk, and two years later he
assumed the position of manager.
AS a result of his untiring efforts,
knowledge of the wholesale groc-
cry business and efficient and
courteous methods, the company
has expanded rapidly until today
it ranks high in the grocery field.
The growth of the company, in a
large degree, is due to his splen-
did management and the co-opera-
ton of the company members.
The old Greasy Company occu-
pied only a small portion of the
Beachley Building back in 1919,
but later it was found necessary
to expand and the entire building
was leased for additional storage.
etc. At that time the company
served only those within a small
radius of Hagerstown, but with
the new facilities afforded the
company plans to cover a much
larger territory.
