standing so far away from your
partner that good dancing IS an i'm
possibility SLOUGH, debutantes

Don't be full Of romance, and en-
barrass your partner by smuggling
up close or hanging on to him
so tight that he has to drag you
around the floor Don't lead as
you did in dancing school-----let
the man do that Don't wear
wide brimmed hats while dancing
and cut your partners face
Wear your hair so fluffy that it
tickles your partners nose
Don't sing in your partners ear
or at all for that matter Don't
show your partner how popular
you arc . by stopping TO lalk
to people on the dance floor
especially if he does not know them,
it leaves him dangling in mid air
IF YOU ARE A MAN Don't
look over your partners Shout
der and flirt with someone else O..
Don't ask another girl dance
while your are dancing with some
one Don't try to steal kiss
in dark corner Of the dance floor
Don't clasp your partner so
earnestly that you bunch her dress
up in the back and her slip shows
Don't say May I have this
wrestle" or May borrow
your France" Don't ask the tall
est girl in the room to dance if you
are not very tall Don't leave
your partner stranded in the middle

Joe Fratort of Philadelphia-an
amateur. The latter will be s.
round bout.
And there, in the pale beam of the
mazda glow, surrounded by the tin
sci, the bunting, luscious hams,
stacks of sugar, keWpie dolls, bal
looms and all other trappings that
go with a carnival, Washington fans
will have an opportunity of meas
uring the man who had his chance
and lost it and the kid who has yet
to make his bid for fame and the
cash that comes with it.
Some say that Gallagher in
his salad days was better
equipped for the cruel, pun
ishing business of fighting
than De Chard.
He was as tough as shoe leather,
and his rock-like jaw sopped up left
hooks and right-hand smashes like
sponge. When right" Marty
could ladle out numbing punches in
a steady, fountain-like gush, too.
But Marty had two strikes on him
when he pulled on his first pair of
dueling mittens to argue with Henry
Lamar at Silver Spring. He didn't
like to train-shunned the gym as
faithfully as churchgoes and lacked
the killer instinct. Outpointing an
opponent satisfied his physical
proWess and he actually didn't have
the heart to hit one when helpless.
De Chard Has Fighting Heart.
De Chard in street clothes is a
quiet, unassuming youngster but
De Chard in fighting togs is a
stranger to the wellmannered boy.
Long lean limbs propel him about
the ring at amazing speed for a
heavyweight. He tears into his op-
ponent like a beast charging its
prey and his supple arms swing
without apparent effort.

Favor, owned by H. NJ Simpson of
Washington. The imported trophy
must be won three times by the
same owner before it becomes his
outright property.
Last weeks sport in Cumberland
provided plenty of thrills. The
jockeys are riding out every mount
in an effort to secure points in the
race for the diamond ring offered
to the winning jockey by President
Manley. Johnny Shanks, veteran
Washington pilot, has as good a
chance as any other boy to snare
the valuable award. A similar trophy
is offered to Cumberland's leading
winning trainer. It may be won
by Charley Feltner of Berryville,
Va, who has powerful string at
the Maryland course. Feltner ships

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 12.-Col. Edward R. Bradley,
aged master of the Idle Hour Farm
OF old Kentucky, stepped right into
the 2-year-old championship picture
today when he sent out Bimelech to
win the Saratoga Special, before a
crowd of $4,000, largest of the Spas
diamond jubilee meeting.
The unbeaten son of Black Toney-
La Troienne made it three straight
for this summer when he ran the
6 furlongs in 1:104s, only two
fifths of a second off the track rec
ord, to beat rank outsider, the
Christiana Stables Briar Sharp, by
four lengths. The Millsdale Sta
bles' Andy K. was third, another
length and half back.
Bimelech Leads All Way.
Supposed to be comeback effort
for Andy K, which finished first
in last weeks United States Hotel
Stakes, but was disqualified for
running out at the start, the Special
developed instead into runover
for the Bradley 2-year-old, which
was carrying 122 pounds and was
handled by F. A. Smith. Breaking
on top. Bimelech made every post
winning one. Briar Sharp closed
fast to be second.
Bimelech previously had won a
6-furlong maiden race on June %
at Aqueduct and a 5l2 -furlong dash
by six lengths at Suffolk Downs
July IA. His remaining stake en-
gagements at Saratoga include the
Grand Union on August 26 and the
$4,000 Hopeful on September 2.
The victory today was worth
$4,000 to the Bradley 2-year-old in
this only winner-take-all event in
the country. With this purse his
money earnings now total $l0,40o
Picked as Derby Winner.

SEVENTH RACE-CATECHISM,
EVERGOLD, WHOOPER.
