|'Sponging( offs
At Rockingham,
Widely Probed
BY the Assoeiofed Press

SALEM. N. H., Nov. 3.-Ama-
teurs with larceny in their hearts
and a knowledge of the physical
geography of Rockingham Park
were sought today as those con-
cerned with "sponging" five horses
in the seventh race here Octo-
ber "a.
Most of those interested in seiz-
ing and prosecuting the tamper-
ers. who pushed small sponges
into the thoroughbreds' noses, are
convinced there was no intended
betting big coup as the wager
ing on the race was not abnormal
1t was pointed out, however
that the seventh race plays q
part in the makeup of the figures
used in the numbers pool in this
area.
No fewer than six groups have
declared themselves in on the
search for the person, or persons
concerned in thrusting the
sponges, about the size of small
rubber ball, into the animals
noses.
DR.. H. M. Lewis, track veter-
marian. was convinced "ama-
teurs" were involved because the
sponges were obviously pushed up
by persons fingers
The track vet explained q
"sharpie" involved in such an
illegal deed would use a probe.
The sponging. designed to cause
a horse to become distressed
particularly in a hard stretch
drive-was discovered by Lyle
Phillips. who found a small blood
covered sponge in the feed bir

Forced to revise its lineup be-

sparingly on defense, will share
the spot.
Earlier plans at Georgetown
were for no scrimmage this week
to allow the players who were
knocked around and hurt in the

Joan Bruinerd
Heard in Debut
By Elena de Soyn

Joan Brainerd. soprano of New
York. made her local debut in the
Phillips Gallery last night. She
was accompanied at the piano by
Allison Sanderford of this city.
The young soprano has a sweet
lyric voice. adequate to the de-
mands of Schumann's cycle of
eight songs. known as "Frauen-
liebe und Leben." To this she
added Debussy's Romance, /"
Coquard's "Hai Luli," Fourdrain's s
|"Carnival" and a group of songs
in English.
Although her German came to
her naturally. the singing of the
Lieder did not seem to be that
of a specialist. French songs
hardly Jared better. Tradition
has it that these familiar selec-
tions. in which the piano accom-
|paniment assumes the Importance
lof a partnership, should express
more than musical notation Of
fers, to the eye. Ensemble and
Its perfection is the first requisite
Of any good performance. This
Miss Rrai1erd did not have. In
spite Of a, good stage presence,
ffeel for music and a voice, she
did not quite come up to the pro-
lfessional status of a recitalist,

Area Authority Discussed.
The issue of bridges connecting
the District with outside areas
again brought up the subject of a
metropolitan authority, patterned
after the New York and Philadel-
phia port authorities. Such a
commission would deal with all
problems affecting the Metropoli-
tan Area. This commission could
issue bonds to finance bridge con-
struction and charge tolls to pay
them of, it was argued by Allan
B. Fay. Montgomery County dele
gate.
"A bridge to Alexandria from
Southern avenue, for instance.
would be largely on District prop
erty. but for the advantage of Vir-
ginia people," Mr.. Fay continued.
"A toll bridge would catch the peo-
pie using the bridge instead of tax
ing the District for it,"
Move to Back Bill.
In other business, the council
voted to form a committee to
unite with those from the Vir-
ginia and Maryland federations in
urging the District Commissioners
to approve the Sasscer bill, which
would set up an area commission
somewhat along these lines. Mrs.
Franklin G. Sartwell, represent
ing the District, will head the
committee.
The council also passed a mo-
ton commencing Mrs. Sartwell for
her work in civic affairs, especially
in promoting stronger ties between
the District Federation of Citizens
Association and the Interfedera-
ton Council.

Christmas Song Writer Turns
Profits to Schools for Music
Central High Students
Make Recording of
J. J. Reno's Jingle

A National Airport employe
who has written a catchy Christ
mas song is doing his best to in
terest young people of the Dis
trict in music by giving the pro-
ceeds of the recording to the mu-
sic departments Of the Washing
ton high schools.
The money will be used to buy
records for the music departments
OF the schools.
The composer is Joseph j. Reno.
80, of 2809 Fifteenth street NV,
an airport traffic controller. His
song, "The Christmas Jingle" has
been recorded by As voices from
Central High School under the
direction of Miss Jeannette Wells,
head OF the music department
there. It is decribed as "a happy
christmas song applying strictly
Ito Christmas.
MIR. Reno wrote the song be-
cause he felt too many Christmas
songs had elements In them not
pertaining directly to the Christ
mas season and spirit.
While the singers were rehears-
ing, Mr.. Reno learned the music
departments could use some extra
money. He got in touch with the
school and received their APPROX
al to donate any money received
from the sale of records to this
purpose.
Local disc jockeys are playing
the record these days, with many
favorable comments being re-
lceived from listeners. The other
side of the disc has a rendering
Of Silent Night" The recording
was made by Station WINK.
Mr.. Reno, who played with
name bands until 1899. is a ver-
satile musician. He plays the vio-
lin. trombone and piano. But his
big ambition is to write music.
He came to Washington in
June, 1910. with the Civil Aero
nautics Administration. He is
married and lives at 2809 Fifth
