Apr. 9 WV-Pest poison, sprayed on oak trees and spread by the wind to grass in sur rounding fields, may have caused the death of Phar Lap, $500,000 won der horse from Australia, was the belief expressed here todny by W. W. Vincent, chief of the western dl- j vision of the United States bureau of food and drugs. j Vincent stated examination of j fmm from a rwtch where Phar Lao's ' trainer had pulled tufts to feed the great red gelding revealrd the pres- ence of poison used in the spray. The j race horse died Tuesday at the Ed ' Perry ranch on the San Francisco peninsula and veterinarians thought death was caused by colic Induced from green feed or dampened barley. Chemical analysis of the horse's stomach, being conducted by Dr. Karl ' Meyer, of the Hooper medical founda- ! tlon at the University of California, ! has failed to reveal poison. Dr. Meyer ! said that analysis would not be com- i pleted for several days j Car pent ier Will Attempt Comeback NEW YORK.

Nrll (Associated Press Sports Writer) STATE COLLEGE. Pa., Apr. 9 W The college boys served . definite notice today that Uncle Sam's 1932 Olympic team may be dominated for the first time by youths from the halls of learning. The two-day tournament of the na tional collegiate association to de velop college material for the Olympic team try-outs in San Pranclsco July 20, 21 and 23. has passed into the s-ml-flnal stage, and 32 youngsters stand eligible to oppose army, navy, and amateur athletic union quali fiers for places on the team. Probably the . college ranks never before have gathered together such an array of talent as opened the tournament in the Penn State gym nasium yesterday with 66 entries from 33 colleges and universities. Thirty-two battles featured the opening day, eight of them ending in knockouts. When the day was over, and the crowd of 5000 that packed the big gym satisfied with thrills, 20 schools still were represented In the field. Penn State leading with five. Army had three qualifiers for the semi-finals this afternoon. Syra cuse. Tulane. Washington State, and Columbus university, at Washing ton. D.

The loss of a good man In every event was suffered by gradu ation from the squad of la3t year. Buck's present concern is to replace Miller, Markham and Harp, out standing dash and field men; Gib bons, hurdler; Dldlon, weights; and Crtmmlns and Dyer, distance run ners. Arby Hufford. a letterman in the 440 last year. Is the fastest man in school to date for the 100 and 220 dashes and will probably get con sideration for the shot, Ben Bow man Is' back for the hnlf mile nnd a number of new prospects are on hand including Vlchory and May berry for the 440 race. Mansfield for the half mile, Oraydon Hoover for the mile. Don McConnell and Al bert Perkins for the weights and Langlcy and Oleason In the pole vault. A quadrangular meet will be held at Pendleton Apr. 16, a county meet is scheduled for Apr. 23, and Coach Buck expects to enter several men in the Eastern Oregon competition at Union Apr. 30. Some practice meets are expected to be undertaken before the quadrangular meet at Pendleton and possibly the Walts burg track team will pay Mac-Hl a visit this Friday. -- Trapshooters In Final Round Of Oregonian Shoot Telegraphic I-eugne Standings ' W. .

V.-.'- i By Laufei I Experts Select A's, Cardinals To Take Titles By Herbert W. Barker (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK. Apr. 9 JP If 67 of the nation's baseball writers can't be wrong, only the 8t. Louis Car dinals and the New York Giants of the National league, and the Phila delphia Athletics and New York Yan kees of the American, figure to have any chance of participating 'In the world scries in October. Briefly, the experts, casting ballots in the Associated Press sixth annual major league pennant poll, pick the Cardinals and Athletics to repeat. with the Yankees strong second j choices in the American league and i the Giants lukewarm alternates in the National. It the concensus is right the clubs j will finish this way: T Nntlonal St. Louis. New li York. J Chicago, Brooklyn. Pittsburgh, Phila delphia. Cincinnati, Boston. American Philadelphia. New York, Washington. Cleveland. Detroit, St. Louis, Boston, Chicago. Strong Fulth lu Cards The poll Indicated strong faith in the ability of the Cardinals to win the National league crown for the third year in a row. Forty-eight writers were content to string; along with the world champions while 15 picked the Giants. Thus these two clubs accounted for 63 first place ballots. Of the other four, three went to the Cubs and one. believe ! it or not. to the improved Phillies. In. the American league, the battle of ballots was much closer. Sixty six of the 67 first place votes went either to the Athletics or the Yan kees, the final count standing 38 for the A's and 28 for Joe McCarthy's men. The only other first place bal lot was cast for the Cleveland In dians. Although the experts had little trouble picking the leaders, they ran into all kinds of difficulties ln try ing to rate the other members of each league. Particularly was this true in the National where Brooklyn. Pittsburgh. Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Boston all received votes for the doubtful distinction of finish ing In last place. Brooklyn polled two votes for that post, Pittsburgh seven. Philadelphia 15, Cincinnati 19 and Boston 124 . On the other hand the Phillies re ceived one vote for first place and one for third; Brooklyn polled one vote for second place as did Cincin nati. One writer thought the Pirates would finish as high as third. league but none of the four trailers, Detroit. St. Louis, Boston or Chi cago, received votes for any position, higher than fourth.

He made impatience ed plain that David and Kitty laughsd and yieldc-d to it They left the house by the wocd sbed door. m The yards, the empty weathered barns and outsheds, seemed to swim in a SGft ha20. Fat pigeons sunned themselves or the bare roof. Out siie, a3 in the house, everything was meticulously clean orderly. A pth of old flagstones led to a strip of garden where still bloomed a few raised chrjsinthemums. "Oh," cried Kitty, lifting her hand. "I hear it! The brook!" "Of course it's there, just be yond those willows. They left the brook to climb the hillside thrush old oak tree3 and maples and firs. When, presently, they came out on the top Kitty dropped to the ground, a little breathless. "1 love it! It's ar good as my hilltop!" And David's silence, bis smile of appreciation that was partly for what he saw and partly for her de iiht, was good to Her. The sun lay warm on them. David :;t down beside her.

"I've wanted i.T bring you here, Kitty," he said imply. -1 - -,. She had a pleasant sense of shar ing with David something so imi- matcly a part of him that he had io words for it.

She was shyly conscious of depths in David which she never had sus pected. She'd Lot known theai be rause always when she'd been with him she'd been so wrapt in her own plight. "David," how old was your mother when she went away?" "Twenty, jhe went to Wlnton to teach school. She'd graduated from Cornell, you see, tho year before. She met mj father that Winter. Thoy wero married in the "!rring." Kitty's brows drew together. What had Gar said? That his father had married out of his class, abrae thlng like that "How old were you when she died, David?" "Fonr." "And you don't remember her?" "More, now. than I did. This place hru helped me. Sho used to come here with me, summers. I suppose. Her father was living, then. I can remember her playing with me in the brook. ' Kitty was silent, held in deep compassion. She divined swiftly how much David noeded that sense of luve. She remembered how he'd had to-go to his father's house, an Intruder. "David, toll me mere about your se:r.M she said at length, softly. He '.-ave a short laugh.

'I was too sensitive, more intro spective than a kid ought to be. Well, I walked out when 1 was eighteen. She'd framed some petty thinss against me and I wouldn't deny it.

It was when they had finished their meal, a cozy meal before the crackling fta nes, that be turned to Kitty with a smile. "You've forgotten. You were go ing to tell me something." She related every detail of her luncheon with Miss Lee and what Miis Lee had raid to her. A little excited tone colored her voice. "And I shall go on working even after " She stoppe:!. coloring.
