as it falls to a cold, dark field in
early November? Their cries have
the grandeur of some untameable,
wild music from out the past.
Overhead, unseen, sweep the
winged valiants. Their music is
caught, held a fleeing moment,
and then lost, the notes trailing
away into the vastness OF night.
Wind Rustles Leaves
You stand exalted, alone in the
silence and the frost glitter Of
stars, as a chilling wind rustles in
the fallen leaves.
IT Is only short drive from
Detroit to Kingsville. Ont, TO the
wildfowl sanctuary of Jack Miner,
and there you may see hundreds
of wild Canada geese that seek
safety and food on their Autumn
and Spring migratory flights.
Weekdays you may ascend the
barn tower to look down upon
vast flocks of geese about the
ponds, once clay pits, screened by
evergreen trees. We last were
there on a Sunday afternoon, and
on that day you may not enter
the grounds.
We arrived at the sanctuary a
little before five o'clock. AT the
front yard ornamental pond were
many kinds of wild ducks-among
them the wood ducks. most beau
tiful of all species. Sailing on the
pond were six whistler swans,
superb and austere.
From the house and to the fence
came an elderly man-Jack Miner
wearing a windbreaker and a
corduroy hat of hunters green. In

We Mean Champion

The present champion, and we
mean champion, is Cadillac Blue
Boy a blue tick fox hound, owned
by Clare Thompson of Yale. Blue
Boy is TO fox hound races what
Whirlaway is to the turf. A real
hunter, and speedy runner. Blue
Boy so far this year has dominated
nearly every trial in which he has
been entered.
Fox hound races can be ciassedI
with horse racing-anything cam

found that out, not only hunting
with Blue Boy, but in backing up
our lunches with more than just
talk.

as he came on. he cried. "Chookee,

Following him were the ducks
from the pond, and with them
waddled the swans, looking just a
bit ludicrous after the stately
grace in which they floated over
the pond water.
Feeding Pigeons
White pigeons tapped 'iown

from his hands; sometimes one
alighted on the old hat he wore
In gorgeous plumage. Lady Am

regally among the water birds,
pecking kernels of corn.
The sky, all the afternoon, had
been a forbidding steel-gray, but
as the sun descended 1t broke
through with sweeping pennons OF
rose-gray.
The querulous honking OF geese
came on the wind, and then we
saw them rising to flight forma-

Some circled about, then glided

arrowhead flew above us on their
way to Lake Erie, a few miles due

United Press Staff Correspondent New York, April 23-(UP)-The long -shot roundup:
 Swain--A superior mud-runner, the only gray horse in the Derby list, and @ factor only in big, loose field. The son of Ladysman, owned by Cleveland Putnam. surprised last year with a victory in the Arlington futurity but has tailed off steadily since. Although he was unable to win a start in six attempts at San- to Anita this winter he is expected to go to Churchill Downs on Q galn- ble. His life record-24 starts, three victories and total earnings of $3o,- 945. Future odds: 40-i.
 Staretor-Unable to win Q race as a o-year-old, this chestnut geld ing scored two victories in Califor- mia over Mediocre fields but was @ poor ninth, IS lengths behind Por- ter's Gap, iil the Santa Anita Derby. However, the offspring of Messeng-. er-Fair Star has been training well at Havre De Grace this spring. He Is owned by H, s. Nesbitt, has won two of 12 starts and earned 5,,360. Future odds: 100-l.
 Valdina Groom-Apparently the best of the Valdina fam colts, Emerson Woodwards reAgy chest- nut has been slow to round into form. Winner of three races as a two-year.old and a prominent con- tender in many Illinois juvenile stakes, the son of Osculator ended his season with earnings of $l3,525 and was shipped to Santa Anita with high hopes. However, he won only one of nine starts there and has since finished fourth in two starts at Keeneland. Has total of four wins in 28 attempts. Future odds :40-1.
 Bushwhacker-The Walmac farm colt won only two races as a juve- nile, but one of them was the rich New England futurity. Very much an in and outer, as he either wins or finishes far back. A disappoint- ment at Hot Springs when he fin- ished eighth in field of sprinters, he also ran out of the money in his first start in Kentucky. A son of Chance Shot by masked dancer. He won two races in 10 attempts and $38,860. Future odds: 40-l.
 Agricole-A rather mediocre two- year.old, the Shady Brook farm youngsters big claim to distinction Is a victory over Whirlaway in @ seven-furlong sprint at Hialeah Park this winter. His workouts In Kentucky have been very good. An offspring of Agrarian -Fontanelle, he has life record of five triumphs in IS starts and earnings of $4.800. His future odds are 6o-1 but probably will drop shortly

TIMELY TENNIS TOPICS

By the
roREHAND STROKE FORM

The better the court, the better the play thereon However, only study of correct form in stroking and continued practice will improve your game. If you have been for- tunate enough to see Donald Budge, Bill Tilden, Miss Alice Marble and other experts in match play you have probably been amazed ct their control of the ball in both speed and direction. Their strokes are exec cuted with great ease and without apparent effort. That is because their strokes are made in good form. Such form becomes automatic only through careful adherence to the Fundamentals of stroking and prac- tice which makes perfect
 Three strokes form the basis of all tennis play. These are the forehand and backhand drive and the service. The forehand drive should be mas tered first. Careful study of the following instructions will accom- plish this result.
 Use Eastern Grip" with the palm of hand parallel with face of racquet, feet at about right angles to the net with right foot back. A line drawn from right to left foot should approximate the angle of the shoulders. The back swing of the racquet and the movement of the feet into position should be com- menced as soon as the direction and speed of the oncoming ball are de- termined. If there is time, draw the racquet back as far as the full ex- tended arm will permit. The arm should be kept straight until after impast.
 At the end of back swing, racquet head should be below point where ball is to be hit, so that in forward swing the head will be moving slightly upward as well as forward. This is to insure top-spin. Carry the racquet well through to a point just below the left shoulder. Wrist should be firm at impact and gradu- ally turned over after impact so that at finish of the stroke the palm of the hand is facing down.
 At impact, the ball may be hit at any point between one slightly in advance Of the left hip and the belt

.CURLEY CHARGES
 'INTERF FRENCH WITH PREP STARS
Ananis Mum on Trip to Notre Dame - Bouley
 Not Yet Back At B. C.

Newton, Mass, April 23-(UP)-- Graduate Athletic Manager John P. Curiey of Boston college, referring to the purported meeting in Chi- cago between Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame and Gil Bouiey. promising B. o. freshman tackle, was quoted today in published re- port as saying that "Leahy has overreached himself this time."
 "The thing we're mad at," the report quoted Curley as comment ing, "is interference with boys in local prep schools who might want to attend Boston college"
 Leahy and his entire staff of var- sity assistatns went to Notre Dame shortly after Boston college an- nounced the story-book coach had signed 0 new hve-year contract fol- lowing Boston colleges triumph over Tennessee In the Sugar Bowl
 Huddle
 Curley, new coach Denny Myers, formerly of Brown, and two assist- ants visited Marianapolis academy, IT. ompsonville, Conn, yesterday for a conference with Vito Ananis, foot- ball coach and star halfback on Boston colleges Cotton Bowl eleven of two seasons ago.
 Ananis neither confirmed nor de- nied reports that he recently had driven to Notre Dame with two of his players. He denied, however, that he had seen or talked with Ed McKeever, Notre Dame backfiel4 coach, who was in Boston @ short time ago for meetings with local high school players and Boston col- lege freshman athletes.
 No Obligation
 "None of my players Is obligated to Boston college" Ananis said. "As @ matter of fact several colleges are interested in some of them in- cluding Georgetown, Fordham and Villanova. I don't feel that am obligated either. As a graduate, naturally, I'd like to see some of them go to Boston college, but I am in no position to insist on It."
 Curley admitted no Marianapolis players were obliged to matriculate at Boston college, but said that since many were Greater Boston youths, he felt some should attend B. 0.
 The 220-pound Bouley failed to attend either classes or practice Monday, and reports circulated that McKeever had conferred with him during @ visit here last week. Friends said Bouley, touted 0 future All.America, had entrained for Chi- cago. Shortly after Leahy departed for Notre Dame, Bouley hitch- hiked to his Norwalk, Conn.,, home but later returned to Boston college.

Bobby Jones, Third, At IA Coached By Famous Father

Atlanta, Ga., April 23.-(UP)--A quarter of @ century ago at the Merton Cricket club course in Phil adelphia, a l4-year old boy named Bobby Jones was playing in the National Amateur Golf tournament. He won his first two matches be. fore being eliminated. A year be- fora, in 1915 he had won the 0eor- gia state amateur championship.
 Today another Bobby Jones, aged 14, is seeking golf laurels and his famous father is tutoring him for his first tournament, the Southern Prep and High School championship in Chattanooga, Tenn, next week.
 But Robert Tyre Jones, the third, has little hopes of repeating his fathers performance which was climaxed by winning the British and United States open and amateur golf championships in 1880.
 Young Bobby Is happy when he breaks 90. He may not make even the fourth position on the Marist high school team for tho Chat tanooga tournament.
 Heavyweight Son
 There $ e lot of difference be- tween Young Bobby and his father at the same age. In 19l6 Bobby Jones, the second, was five feet four and weighed 165. His son IS 2 strapping yo,rngster six feet tall who weighs 105 pounds.
 Young Bobby has been playing golf consistently for only two years. Before that he was more inter- ested in baseball, football and bad hinton.
 '1When are you going to be able to beat your father7" he was asked.
 "Me7" he replied, why no one can beat him."
