Pigeon-Rocing Season Here
Officially Opens Today

for birds that sometimes never
come home at all. but to one who's
trained his pigeons faithfully, fed
and watered them daily. locked
them up at night, banded them with
their distinctive numbers and ship
ped them a couple of hundred miles
away. there's no thrill like seeing
the valued possession swoop down
out of the sky to his home loft.
Pigeon fanciers' joys are divided.
First. there's the fellowship attend
ant at the express Office where birds
are shipped to their liberation points
each Friday night. Then there's the
anticipatory wait and joy of seeing
the bird come home. And lastly
there's the congregation at the
opening of the clocks when bands
which have been removed from
the birds leg to start the clocks
are taken out to ascertain which
bird made the best speed. Not al
ways is the first bird to report the
winner. for loft distances vary and
their differences computed to deter
mine the fastest flying performer.
Today the Capital ConcOurse As
sociation, embracing the Aero, East
Potomac and Capital City Racing
Pigeon Clubs. are racing from Cum
berland and Charlottesville. All
birds should be home before noon,
but no one will know until clocks
are opened tonight who has won.
The sports funny that way, for un-
like any other race there's no way
of telling the winner Immediately
upon its conclusion. but pigeon fan
ciers seem to like 1t and that's all
that matters
Maybe anticipation still remains
half the JOY of competition.

MILDLY Crew Scores
EffortIess Victory
Over Columbia
Tors Serve Notice They
Intend to Hang On to
National Honors
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
NEW YORK, April 29-Navy's S
crew. unbeaten since 1887, served
adequate notice it will be cunning
for the national championship again
at Poughkeepsie in June when it
scored an easy victory over Columbia
in their ia mile duel on the Harlem
River today
The Middies pulled into an early
lead and fairly coasted to a length
and one-half victory in 7 minutes
AIS seconds.
Although there were only three
members of last years great crew
in the winners shell, they rowed like
the 1888 eight as they held a smooth,
even pace of 80 strokes to the minute
almost all the way.
Columbia never was in the race.
Navy. stroked by Tom Walker, Sd,
of Daytona Beach, Fla, started pull
ing slowly. but surely, away and at
the half-mile boasted length lead.
With little more than a mile
remaining to go there was a length
of open water between shells. but
Columbia reduced this little by a
desperate sprint at the finish.
Experts estimated that Navy, had
it wished. easily might have equalled
or broken the course record of TAOS
set by the Midshipmen last year.
Today the champions seemed con-
tent to win. Their coxsvain was
silent most of the way and never
called for any extra effort.
The Navy Jayvees also were i'm
pressive as they scored a two-length
victory over the Columbia reserves
in the smart time of 7:43.l. Co.
lumbia's freshmen salvaged some
honors by finishing length and
one-quarter ahead of the Navy
plebes.
