Tom Fool Can CIinch
Juvenile Title Today
By Winning Futurity
Special Dispatch 10 The Star

BALTIMORE. Nov. 2.-Tom
Fool, lanky son of Menow. has
only to repeat his victories over
the best 2-year-oldS in the coun-
try in today's $25,000 Pimlico
Futurity to be named the unques-
toned champion of the country's
juveniles.
Tom Fool probably will go to
the post for the mile-and-a-
sixteenth race at to or less.
Nothing in the eight-horse field
will be too strongly backed to
keep him and Jockey Ted Atkin-
son from the winners circle,
although Risque Rouge was
beaten only half-length by Tom
Fool in the recent East View
Stakes at the same distance as
the Futurity. Jockey Eddie Arcaro
will ride Risque Rouge.
Star Riders on Hand.
With most of the leading riders
in the East here for the race,
there is almost as much interest
among the fans in the jockeys as
there is in the horses. Willie
Shoemaker. who made a special
trip to Bowie to ride against Joe
Culmone at the height of their
rivalry for national jockey honors
last year will have the mount on
1nyureye, Willie had q SenSa-
tional winning streak in New York
recently and is still pretty hot.
but Inyureye, carrying 119 pounds.
may not be enough horse to get
him home first today. Inyureye
was beaten only a length, how
ever, in the Garden State Stakes.
OWE Scurlock is another good
reinsman scheduled to go to the
post. He'll ride Jets Date, in at
lit pounds, who was only a length
and a quarter off Tom Fool in the
East View.
Risque Rouge probably will go
off the 4-to-2 second choice to the
Greentree Stables entry of Tom
Fool and Begorra. All three colts
will carry 119 pounds.
Others in the field are Cajun,
1872; Lord Priam, 119; Cobber,
122, and Norwhirl, 122.
Has Won Five Stakes.
Tom Fool, a half-brother to
Aunt jimmy, last years f1lly cham
pion, has turned in a perfect
record this year. A win today
would make him the most likely
winter book favorite for the Ken
lucky Derby.
The Greentree colt has romped
home first in five of seven stakes.
Those wins included the Belmont
Futurity, as we'll as the East View
Stakes-the latter significant be-
cause of the longer distance of to-
days gallop.
The impressive pile of f1rsts has
earned the John Gavor- r-trained
stable $155,910 so far, and a Pim-
lico Futurity victory would send
his seasons earning over the $780,
600 mark, for the feature-if all
start-wiH gross $58.910 and mean
q purse of $47.540 to the winner. |
There's not too much to go with
the rest of the field. although all
have shown they rate to be in the
fast company.
Lord Priam was runnerup toI
Candle Wood in the Garden State
Stakes, and will have Chris Rogers
up. Cajun, although never before
in stakes competition, defeated a
mixed band of juveniles and g.
year-olds at a mile and a six
teenth at Jamaica last Saturday.
The same day Begorra won a g.
furlong race. Cobber was second
recently at Garden State, while
Norwhirl finished a close third
there on opening day.

Roosevelt Seeks Title
In lnterhigh Group Il
In Game al Wilson

Led by Halfback Billy Smith
and Phil Perlc. sensational sopho-
more quarterback. Roosevelt will
invade Wilson this afternoon at
3 o'clock in search of a victory
that will clinch the Interhigh Di-
vision II football title.
In what is rated an even battle,
Roosevelt's Smith and Robbie
ISmithers will be handling the run
ming chores while Perlo will direct
the offense and toss the passes.
Wilson has one of the areas most
dangerous runners in speedy Mike
Sommer and a fair aerial attack
with Chris King expected to do
most of the throwing.
Roosevelt Is undefeated in in
Iterhigh play and can win the di-
vision title today, but its faces a
formidable foe in Wilson, loser
only to George Washington and
powerful st. Johns by close mar
gins. The lone blot on the Tigers
Interhigh record is scoreless tie
with Coolidge. q team Roosevelt
beat, 80.
Gonzaga Risks Clear Record.
Some observers feel the Riders
cannot match Wilson's overall
strength. Roosevelt, rated a dark
horse before the season started,
has lived up to its role, but its
victories have not been by large
margins. Wilson is an up-and-
down team. looking very strong
one afternoon and inept on other
occasions.
Sharing some of the spotlight
with the Roosevelt Wilson battle
will be the Gonzaga-George Wash
iington struggle In Alexandria to-
might.
Gonzaga will be risking an
Iundefeated record against the
strongly rated Presidents. The
Eagles have won six games this
season against tie with WASH
ington-Lee, but playing without
their star fullback. Leo Divalen-
tino. they will not be a big favor
ite to dump CIV. The Presidents,
losers Of three games this year,
all to powerful clubs, are ranked
No. 7 in the area, while Gonzaga
is in the No. spot.
Mount Vernon will entertain
George Washington of Danville in
the Mounts homecoming game in
another Northern Virginia game

Possessive Instinct
Often Causes Girls
To Be Jealous

DEAR MISS DIX: Once or twice
a week I like to take my mother
out to a show or to dinner. Most
of the fellows I know like to do
the same. but to show our moth
ers a little kindness and courtesy
seems to be a crime with the girls
nowadays. If a boy is halfway
decent to his mother. he is due
for some catty remarks about
being tied to Mammals apron
strings. Can you tell me why a
girl expects a man to regard his
mother as a nuisance, a bore and
Ia pest? I enjoy being with my
mother and I am proud of her. I.
like to take girls out, but I'll be
darned if I like listening to
diatribe against women who are
the mothers of boys have known
all my life.
LIAM.
Answer: Probably the reason
that girls resent their boy friends
showing any attention to their
mothers is because they want to
monopolize all their time and
money. The thought that Tom or
John is giving mother a good
time while they are sitting at
home turns them sour.
Nobody. however. can explain
the antagonism that virtually all
young women feel against the
mothers of the men with whom
they go about. No matter how
angelic mother may be, no matter
how cordial and friendly, they
look upon her with suspicion and
resentment and are far more jeal-
GUS of her than they are of any
rival of their own age.
Considering that all girls have
mothers and expect to be mothers
themselves. you would think that
their attitude toward boys moth
ers would be full of understanding
and sympathy, and that they
would applaud Sam and Bill for
their attentions to their mothers.
But, unfortunately, girls don't feel
that way. They think they should
have the orchids, the candy, the
theater tickets and the automobile
rides and that they are being de-
frauded of their Just rights and
privileges when these favors are
bestowed upon a mere mother in
stead of upon them. Hence the
claws.
1t is selfishness. 1t is greediness.
1t is the possessive instinct. 1t is
jealousy of the woman who was
a mans first love and who has
been part of his life that makes
girls catty about mems mothers.
And there is no help for it. They
were born that way.

Protests Custer
OF Macarthur
By Ruth Dean

The dismissal of Gen. Mac
Arthur from his Far East COM
mands was protested yesterday
afternoon by the National Society,
Daughters of the American Col
onists, at the final session of its
30th annual general assembly held
at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
The delegates expressed their
indignation in an emergency reso-
luton, calling the life of the gen.
eral one of unqualified service
to his country and citing his
leadership in Korea where ''he
has experienced untold handicaps
under unparalleled conditions.
Copies of the resolution, which
was introduced by Mrs. Roy V.
Shrewder, national resolutions
chairman, were directed to be sent
to the President, the Secretary OF
State, the Secretary of Defense,
the president of the Senate, the
Speaker of the House and to Gen.
Macarthur.
In another action, the 200 dele
gates representing membership
of more than 5000 pledged their
support to Congress 'in the exer-
else of it's constitutional author
ity to determine when and where
American troops shall be gar
riSoned in foreign lands" At the
same time, they urged the Presi-
dent and Congress ito avoid COM
mitments abroad of our military
and economic resources, which
may weaken the defense of our
own hemisphere Or 5eopardize the
independent action of our own
Government"
The resolution further called
on the President and the Congress
"to exact from our allies military
guarantees to avoid another Ko-
rea in which American troops are
called upon to do most of the
fighting and dying"
The assembly also urged that
"only the Flag of the United
States" be flown over the graves
of United States military person
mel buried in foreign lands "as a
sacred symbol of those ideals for
which these men died"
In other resolutions. the dele
gates protested any efforts to pop
ularize "so-called Pledge of Al
legiance to the Banner of the
United Nations" and urged that
the flying of the u N. banner in
this country be restricted to U. N.
headquarters.
The assembly also expressed op-
position to world government
movements and opposed ratihca-
ton of the Genocide Convention.
Mrs. jerome Powers, national
president, presided at the session,
which included the election of
Miss Edith Wire of Utah as hon.
orary national vice president,
Miss Carolina " Sudler of the
District was made national re-
cording secretary to fill the uneX-
pired term of the late Mrs. Robert
