Reports Of Strength
This Time Cannot
Be Discounted
Spirited, Well Mounted
Team in Tip-Top Trim
After Coust Drills
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

NEW YORK, April 2l.-Couriers
continue to arrive every few days
from the West, flinging themselves
from their lathered ponies to shout
that the British are coming and
to warn the American polo set
that the international matches at
Meadowbrook next month are going
to be hotter than a branding iron.
The relay of polo raul Reveres
is necessary, because for Is years
there have been nothing but false
alarms. Tommy Hitchcock and
his fellow defenders of American
polo supremacy have grown so ac-
customed to these wild rumors about
the Redcoats that they are difficult
to rouse by ordinary means.
But this time 1t seems to be on
the level. The British, after months
of quiet practice out on the Coast,
really are coming East with a polo
team. From every account, they
have both the players and the
horses.
Invaders Spirit Changed.
Further, says our informants. the
invaders are showing no symptoms
of the famous amateur spirit"
which is supposed to animate all
British sports endeavors and which
has proved such a serious handicap
to John Bulls athletes on past oc-
casions. Why, declare the alarm
lists, these polo players are acting
just like Americans. This evidently
is threat not to be dismissed
lightly.
They have four cracking good
players in Gerald Balding, Aidan
Roark, Eric Tyrrell-Martin and Bob
Skene. the last newcomer from
Australia who has been so impress
sive in practice matches that he
already is being conceded nine
goal rating by next year.
All except Skene have played 50
much on this side in recent seasons
that they are thoroughly adept at
the American style" game. which in
the last decade has borrowed impor-
tant features from football and ice
hockey as we'll as free-style wres-
tling. Skene, from all accounts. is
catching on remarkably fast and by
June will be ready to risk his neck
against any mans.
British Well Mounted.
What is even more important, per-
haps. this British delegation does
not expect to be outmounted It's
ponies have been more than holding
their own against all comers on the
Coast. They are of the best Argen-
tine and Indian stock, and there are
plenty Of them
This will be genuine novelty for
British team. Not since they bea.
us last, back in 1914, have the in
vaders been able to play on equa!
terms in this respect. They fell ia,
behind our Long Island set in the
breeding and purchasing of fine
ponies.
The British warned that they
were narrowing their handicap in
horseflesh when they held the
American team to a thrilling 1913
8-6 victory in the last series played
at London in 1896. Their first-strine
ponies were every bit as fast and
nimble as the American mounts.
The present British team has had
its remuda rounded out by the loan
of some top mounts from an Indian
maharajah or two who won't be us
ing them this summer, and this
might be all the help they need
Maybe Hitchcock, Cecil Smith
Stewart Iglehart, Mike Phipps ano
our other minute men had better
begin manning the breastworks.

The fact that the first hard
head had been caught wasn't
good news to George King,
however.
King is the fellow that sells you
boxing and rassling tickets up at
Turner's Arena. Only yesterday
morning he was talking with the
conductor If this department., and
promised that he was going to Bene-
dict over the week end and catch
us the first hardhead OF the season.
Canter and his party beat him to

Banquet Tickets Ready.
Tickets for the annual banquet
of the Bethesda Chevy Chase Chap
ter of the Izaak Walton League are
to be secured from Will Ayers. the
angling attorney, instead of from
Laddie Clark, secretary of the chap
ter, as reported here on Wednesday.
Laddie only yesterday turned the
job over to Ayers. His address is
room 400, Southern Building, and
phone, National 1886. Get your
reservations in early as only $50
will be sold, and half that number
already are taken.
Ayers is called the angling
attorney since Wednesday,
when he caught an l8-inch
trout up on Hunting Creek.
The Virginia trout season opened
yesterday, and one of the streams
opened for the first time in many
years was st. Marys River in the
Big Levels Area Of Augusta Coun-
ty near Harrisonburg. The stream
has been heavily stocked for sew
eral years with marked trout and
will be used to study the rate of
growth and feeding habits of the
fish. It will be open until May 20,
or one month. Limits are 10 day,
with 6 inches on brookies and Z
inches on rainbows. A State H.
cense and National Forest stamp
are necessary to fish it, as we'll as q
stream permit, which will be fur
nished by an attendant on the
water.
All fish caught will be measured
by the attendant, who will save
one stomach from each catch. All
fish placed in the stream in recent
years have been marked, and their
age Is known.

 Help Irl Search

Four troops from the East dis- trict were represented in the search for Jackie Grady last night. Troop 3, of the Mill Plain church, troop 13 of the Sacred Heart church, troop IS of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul and troop 34 of Christ Chapel. Two scouts from All Souls church were at hand when the call for assistance come to Scout Executive David Babson and they joined other scouts in the search.
 Nearly 75 scouts secured the marsh. In parallel formation they covered systematically all the territory, coming as far as East Main street and Niagara street in their search for the child.
 Leaders who assisted were: Napoleon Charboneau, troop 13 committee chairman; ArOl CharbOneau, Eagle Scout and assistant scoutmaster of Troop 13; Sc0utmastef James Burke of Troop 13; District Commis- sioner Carlton Chapin; Lee ROwley, troop 3 committee chairman; and William J. Low lit, Michael German and T. R. G0dburn, troop IS committee man.
 The scouts were dismissed at 1 o'clock this morning after they had been searching for nearly four hours.

American rights, interests and trade in the Far East. These hints have not had official confirmation, but neither have they been denied-too emphatically.
 Meanwhile in Congress, steps were being taken to strengthen methods short of war" that the President has said could be used against aggressors. There were alse indications that this government proposed to increase its aid to demo- cratic governments.
 Sale of Munitions
 The proposal of Chairman Key Pittman, D., Nev., of the senate for eign affairs committee to permit leash and carry" sales of munitions to belligerents was interpreted as plan to assist France and Breat Bri- tain in their rearmament programs
 Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, has recommend ed that Congress authorize aid to private interests in building giant drydock in New York ,harbor that could handle the largest of naval vessels.
 He left the inference, at least in the minds of some legislative lead CTS, that in event British or French drydocks were destroyed by bombs, the proposed New York drydock might be utilized by those countries.

 DURAND UNCAUCHT

high in the Beartooth by sheer rock bluff which apparently offered no avenue of escape. Sheriff Frank Blackburn. at that time in com- mand of 100 volunteer possemen, would not allow his men to expose themselves. Two disobeyed and slipped into the clearing some 50 yards in front of the fortress. Two rifle shots parked from the cliff base. The men, o. H. Linabary and Arr thur Argento, dropped and their bodies rolled slowly down an in- cline over the snow.
 No more poSSemen ventured out and the two bodies lay through the from the main Posse. Late yester- night only a few hundred yards day when Durand's rifles had been silent for 8 long period, Blackburn ordered an advance on the cliffside fortress. It had been deserted. The killer had, under cover of boulders and underbrush, slipped around a corner of the cliff and, Blackburn believed, gone still higher into the mountains. He ordered bodies of the two victims brought here and ac- companied them himself.
 Daring Feat
 Before returning to the scene this morning, he revealed that Durand had dared to sneak, under cover of darkness, down the incline of the cleared mo mans land" and had jerked the shoes from one of his victims, took their rifles and am- intuition and returned to his fort.
 Bloodhounds sent here by the Colorado state penitentiary were led by handlers early that morning to the fortress, 20 miles almost di- rectly north of here, and were sent to pick up Durand's trail immediately.
 "He may come down but I think he's still up there on the mountain" " Blackburn said. we followed his tracks 300 yards up the ridge and wasted lot of ammunition k,,:-sing things up ahead of us. His trail will turn either to the right or to the left before we get very far"
 Capt. c. w. Wheat of the 163rd National Guard infantrly, in charge of the Montana detachment, which arrived here last night in trucks, said:
 Stay While Needed
 we got orders from Gov. Ray Ayres to stay as long as we're need- ed. We are with the Howitzer com- pany of the 163rd. We brought one 37 millimeter Howitzer and one three-inch trench mortar"
 William Carlow of Cody, grand son of Col. w. F. Buffalo Bill) Cody, was with the posse when il cornered Durand Wednesday He re- turned here last night and express ed no desire to rejoin the hunt.
 "When the shooting was going or Wednesday I wasn't a bit nervous, he said. T talked back and forth with Vern Spencer in the line about the nearness of the shots, but boy when I got home last night was really jittery. For the first time in my life I looked under my bed be- fore I got into it."
 Blackburn said he would personal ly stay in the hills until Durand was killed. He brought into Cody with him last night the two rifles Durand had taken from the slain possemen. They had been found in his abandoned fortress. Botf had been shattered against tree trunk

No Traces Of BoyAr
 Found In 24 Hours
Continued from Page l,

As the day progressed, tired 1 searcheTs were relieved by substi- tutes Captain William Duggan was in charge of the search for part of the time. Detective-Lieutenants Connie Shanahan and William Foley directed other phases of the investigation, and were among those who helped extricate Patrolman Kosky from the sewer.
 Night Platoon at Work
 Members of the police department night platoon, after finishing their regular shift, went to Mill Plain today to join in the search. Motor patrolmen were also on hand after finishing their night assignments. A number of firemsn volunteered for duty, and joined with others in wading through the bogs.
 As the day wore on, police were inclined to give serious considera- tion to the hit-and-run possibility It seemed almost impossible, so thorough was the search, that the boys body had not been found if he was drowned.
 The two bloodhounds were rushed here from the state police barracks at Ridgefield after the early search last night. The dogs were given the scent from some clothing of Jackie's and led into the woods. At one time they halted near brook, but a careful search revealed nc sign of the missing boy.
 Police Will Keep On
 Police planned to continue their quest indefinitely, in the faint hope that the youngster may have been overlooked in previous fine combings of the area. Jackie's own dog was pressed into the hunt today but was able to offer no help tc the Searchers.
 Gloves, hats and socks were found this morning in the woods off Dallas avenue, but none proved to bt Jackie's. With each find there was the hope that it might be a defin- ite clue, but to no avail.
 Streets around the area under search were thronged with specta- tors all morning and early this af' ternoon. Scores drove to Mill Plair during their noon-time lunch hour and police had to be withdrawn from the search to direct traffic and pre- vent a complete tie-up.
 Centers Near Greenhouse When florists helper at Dallas reported late this morning that he had seen a boy and a dog near the greenhouse yesterday afternoon, the search was centered on that sec ton, but it proved as fruitless as the others.
 Policemen, firemen and volunteers weary and mudstained, emerged from the woods for only brief re- spites, entering soon again to resume the quest.
 At press hour, it was planned to have the Meriden road sewer opened from the Hamilton park end and have searchers enter 1t.
