Rain Forecast
For Handicap at
Santa Anita

ARCADIA, Calf, March l. (UP)
NO big horse race is complete
without rumors of rain so today the
neighborhood's ace weather prophet
gazed unblinkingly at a bright sun
and forecast showers and other
unpleasant conditions for the $780,
900 Santa Anita handicap on Satur-
day.
His name was DR.. Irving P. Krick
and his reputation impeccable. He
said it will rain tomorrow, and that
the weather on Friday and Satur-
day will be generally unsettled with
probable showers. The citizens
needed his words despite a general
denial from the experts in Los
Angeles, because on his last out the
doctor correctly called the drizzle
that annoyed 10000 persons during
the Rose Bowl football game.

one round Tuesday afternoon. Then
he was called back to Long Beach
and will not be able to compete.
Lott, the dark-haired lad who
simply crushed his opponents last
year to win with ease, returned
from Glendale junior college espe-
cially for the tournament and was
slated to put up a strong defense
of his title.
Another favorite, Tunney Will
liams, recent winner of the Braw-

Tuesday afternoon with a 76, as did
Paul Post of Brawley, winner of
the guest flight division of the

peeved at Ellsworth Vines. He has
a couple of bones to pick with
Bulge because Mr.. Bulge has
clinched his professional series with
Vines. And he is sore at Vines be-
cause Ellsworth permitted the erst-
while amateur Don TO beat him
90 out of "a matches. He accuses
Vines Of playing tennis with a golf
club in his hands,
Perry says. "Vines has had bee
in his bonnet long before he started
his tour with Bulge. He's been more
interested in golf than in tennis.
He thinks he has the makings of a
great golfer. I wish somebody would
come along and give him really
good beating on the courSe-take
him for plenty of dough. Vines
might not mind the beating, but If
he lost lot OF money, it certainly
would give him q lesson"
Perry pats himself on the back.
He declares that tennis still is his
big thrill in life. Although he is one
of the most Americanized English
men you ever met, he is still too
much of q gentleman to predict
that he will "moider" Don Bulge
in their series which will start az
Madison Square Garden on March
10. The Perry-Budge series will
encompass about 38 matches in
various American cities over
DarinS nf eight u-eal.S
Perry says he has the game to
make Bulge look ike an amateur.
Don't forget that I beat him in
four out of the six matches We
played as amateurs. I've learned
a lot since I last played Dor, and
maybe ne has too. But I've got the
advantage over him.

Creates Caribbean Department.
Meanwhile. the War Department
worked swiftly to put into effect its
newly announced plan for increasing
the safety of the Panama Canal by
creating a Caribbean Department
under Brig. Gen. Edmund L. Daley.
This new Army unit, with head
quarters at San Juan, Puerto Rico,
will build, in effect, ring Of steel
around the Caribbean approach to
the canal. On strategic keys and
islands anti-aircraft guns will be
set up, airflelds established and
more troops garrisoned.
The Army scheme parallels a
naval plan for creating a $4,000 900
air and submarine base at Isle
Grande, Puerto Rico.
The House was expected to act
speedily to grant President Roose-
velt's latest requests for defense ap-
preparations. The Chief Executive
asked yesterday for $21,062 500 to
increase the military garrison in the
Canal Zone and for authority to
make additional contracts totaling
S. 1887 500. Much of the money will
go for airfield construction.
The President also asked Congress
