MEMBER Editorial Correspondence LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23. meet a Panama-Pacifio boat the canal. But no one would believe it. The entire sporting world was moving on L. A. to see the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap on Washington's birthday, so the country editor from Oregon was among them, by acclamation. , At Fresno a group of horse tram and from that time until with race track dope, to which S. P. veteran of 40 years service liberally contributed. Th conductor had put $50 on a parley ticket, with Discovery, Time Supply and Top Row, coming in first, second and third, and he could think or talk about nothing else. He said they were the pick of the field, and no one disputed it. He had a pocket full of the latest racing dope and quoted a score of Santa Anita dupeslers who picked the ponies to come in, in this exact order. The porter had a ticket for Discovery on the nose, and he joined in the conversation. One of the new arrivals was an ex-jockey, now owner of a horse ranch in the San Joaquin valley (so he said) it looked to him, like a runaway for Discovery, and he would give $100 for the conductor's parley, but no cash was put up. The only dissenter as far as Discovery was concerned was a shoe salesman from Oakland, who admitted the Vanderbilt entry was good, tut why put any money on him, a heavy favorite only trading dollars he was looking for a good long shot, and liked the looks of Thursday "Thursday" across the bonrd, THURSDAY would look good on SATURDAY, etc., etc. Well Thursday did ! The Panama-Pacific, boat was held up by fog, so we followed the line of least resistance and followed the crowd to the big race- It was not unlike the "big game." Everything in the Los Angeles area (which as frequently stated covers a lot of territory) was moving toward what was once Lucky Baldwin's potato patch, and is now one of the largest and finest and most popular race tracks in the country; A steady stream of motor cars on every highv.-ay, special trains to the gate, and even airplanes, with a new landing field nearby. The gates opened at nine o'clock, the first race didn't start until one and the big race was due at four. . But at 11 a. m. outside of the club house for members only, and the reserved scats, everything was jammed. The beer and hot dog stands were doing a thriving business. So was the manager's office under the grandstand, guarded by policemen, motor cops' and a squad of Pinkertons next door. We just happened along. Seeing the crowd, hearing the noise, observing all the minions of the law we thought an impromptu fist fight was being staged. Not far off at that. Actual hostilities had not broken out but a group of irate customers who could not get seats, were demand ing satisfaction. Their spokesman was a heavy set gentleman,' middle aged, hair disheveled, accent. "Dcse is getting money under false pree-TENZ" he shouted, gif us seats or giff us de money back 1" A window opni'd in the wall like a window in a speakeasy -and a calm, dignified voice announced:. "Sorry, but there hasn't been a grandstand seat available since .Tunnary 1st." The window 'Money under false prec-tenze shaking his fist while the crowd me my lawyer!'1 The policeman at the door "Cume on boys and girls move on, 'you can't get. any seats if they haven't any. Plenty of places to sit down. You can't stay around here anymore, and as and sundry othpr officers of gently but firmly closing in. It took some kidding and jostling to get the irate spokesman to break ground, but the others quickly dispersed, and he finally followed them still talking about his falso "pree-TENZ". k, This was the only untoward incident observed during the day, outside of one drunk who with legs dangling like a couple of pieces of creamed spaghetti, was given the bum's rush down the stairs and to the nearest first aid station, by a couple of motor cops with broad grins on their faces. But what a mob! Except for the enclosure across the track reached by an under ground subway, we!l policed, where one could sit on a settee or lis on the green rnin-sonked grass, (with no view of the finish line) it was everywhere the same like trying to get a seat in a special train, after the Stanford-Cal. game. As for betting on the big race, all records were broken nearly $500,000 put on that race alone, but we venture to say, another $50,000 was not placed because it was too much work to got in the line. Never saw so much money flying around. men and women with rolls of paper mouey, 20'g and 50's in their hand and half of them didn't look as though they had over filled out an income tax blank. All in all however, it was a great spectacle, the crowd was good natured, everyone was having a good time and the weather man certainly did his stuff, holding off on the rain and turning on a little sunshine now and then, until the $100,000 handicap had been run. No doubt all movie land was there but we were too busy trying to see the horses, to look them up. Did run into Doug Fairbanks and his son Doug Jr., and Kay Krnncis, all looking very fit we should say tho Papa Doug's top hnir is getting mighty thin. There is one advantage in having no money on a hoss race, you can really enjoy the race, instead of straining to keep your eye on a certain number We were lucky enough to get a good spot and did enjoy that heart breaking struggle tremendously. Half a million dollars is a good deal to pay for a little over two minutes of thrill, yet those two minutes were certainly packed with'tense excitement and drama. For some reason which per haps Dr Freud could explain, our interest and sympathies were concentrated upon the old horse Azucar, "sweet sugar", winner last year, and not given a chance this. In fact in the advance dope he was never even mentioned, and in pushing around the crowd we never heard him mentioned either. "Oh Azuenr, a twelve yenr old steeple chaser the hoy was all through!" But we know better. In fact we will stake our reputation as a race track dnpesler PAR EXCELLENCE, that had the Santa Anita handicap been just '.'00 yards farther, Azui-Br not Top Row would have had that, floral horse shoe put about his neck, and his handsome head in the news reels. For this is certain. at the finish he was moving faster than any other qiiiidruped in the picture, and at that he got his number on the electric score board, crowding Roseinount who was'headed only by Time Supply and the winner. Far in the rear at the start, lmw that old plug did shuflle his hoofs, as the race went on, and what a fighting heart he has! We couldn't take our glasses off him. It had till the appeal and stark drama of Jack Dempsey'a second effort to stage a comeback he came in fourth, WHAT a fighter I filad we had no eat It gave us a roaming assignment. Just bcfi.re the bit; race the utilities were especially interesting. An old World's Fair pass got us through the lines. We looked them all over. the greatest horses in the country. And the precautions taken, every stable guarded by police dogs or savage locking buPs, automatic fire alarms set, on the trigger, handlers tip toeing about, tense and taciturn, the horses them selves, sleek and unconcerned. on looks alone Thursday im pressed us above all others. Discovery was the most disap pointing in appearance but we have seen enough of horse races to know, the last thing races are won on, is appearances. , As we tjlej out the lonj delated rain started, and by the Timed arrival in Los Angeles to from New York coming througli race enthusiasts boarded the arrival here, the car was flooded the new conductor, another pale, who spoke with a decided closed again. the irate customer repeated. egged him on. "Wait till I get . stepped out, raised his nana: he stepped, forward the varidus the law stepped forward also, time we reached the hotel it wag coming down in buckets. We found ourselveg thinking 'of the veteran S. P. conductor with that parley ticket which was to give him a fortune on which he would retire on a ranch of his own and the porter who had Discovery on the nose. Shattered dreams, abandoned hopes, their tickets could, be torn up and scattered with thousands and thousands' of others now, ground in the mud of what was once Lucky Baldwin's potato patch!

' NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, tb. as. The nemos that flare In lights across theater facRdea are not always the most highly paid en tertainers In New York. They are often topped by the suavely poU Ished singers and such, moving In table-to-table In timacy In cock tall bara and night clubs. Especially Is there a demand for the exploit era of sophisti cated and topical lyrlca that mirror the world events. A double entendre line that may be caroled with a wink la worth a lot. The king-pin of auch sophistries is Dwlght PUke. In full evening dress splendor, he draws a four-figured salary for talking songs that achieve polite ri baldry without vulgarity. Clark and Delys also glosslly aurtouted, essay the same sllken-volced, rator-edged thrusts at the headline, escapades. Too, there are Endor and Parrell. a bit rowdier, but cleaving to the whispered Innuendo. Such singers In the muted metier as Eve Syming ton. Jeen Sargent snd Prances Maddux receive the pay of actress stars. AIM the mimics Sheila Bar ett and Eddie Csrr. who portray pianissimo.

Jaw. orchestras have been kicked out for exponents of the soft and rhythmic music. It Is the nlaht club's way of showing the world it has become refined. A well planned gesture that detoured It rrom oblivion. Incidentally. When Jed Klley was running a night club In Paris durtng the war a gentleman who Introduced him self as "l-ord Chester" claimed to have lost his cost check. Jokingly Klley told him he never let any one In the wrap room on that gag. adding he got a fur cost that way himself.

Well and good. Now the doc tor's part In this treatment Is by no means limited to dropping In to give the patient the dally "shot." If that Is the Idea, It Is scarcely worth while.

Comment on the Day's News By FHANK JENKINS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, departing from precedent and writing per sonally to the heads of Latln-Amerl can republics (Instead of taking the matter up deviously through dlplo matlo channels) urges them to meet sround a council table, at Buenos Aires or elsewhere, and "erect a peace machine that will outlaw war . for ever." A GAINST much that President Roosevelt has done which Is BAD (either Intentionally' or not), set up this effort to keep the peace In the Americas, which Is TREMEN DOUSLY GOOD in Intent. If war can be kept out of the Western Hemisphere, the future can not help but be bright. ' ; PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. In effect, proposes an American league of nations whose purpose will be to keep the peace in American coun tries. ' It might work. North and South America are not yet steeped In the hatreds that make Europe a cockpit. The American countries, north and south, have opportunities enough of their own. without having to go out and TAKE THEM away from their neighbors. It might be possible for them to get' together and agree sincerely and honestly not to fight among them selves. H FIRST, of course. It will be neces sary to convince the Latin-Ameri can countries that the United States la sincere in Its peace talk and has no thought, now or ever, of grabbing any more territory. In the past, that has been doubt ful, for we HAVE grabbed territory here and there Texas, for example, and California, and then the Philip pines. And we haven't been at all sure ourselves that we wouldn't want to grab more. But by this time we're pretty well convinced that we've got all the ter ritory we can posslblye manage and wouldn't know what to do with any more. If we can convince the Latin American countries that we really feel that way about It, we won't have a great deal of trouble getting along with them. IP THE United States Is enticed Into a EUROPEAN league of nations, It will be used to pull European chest nuts out of every fire that Is lighted. But a league of nations of our own, here ' In the Western Hemisphere, might not be a bad Idea. HERE Is a dlrectquotation from a Callfornlan who left his state to visit his wife's mother In Wash ington and then tried to get back home. He tried three times, but each time waa turned back at the border by the Loa Angeles foreign legion What happened the third time, he de scribes In these words: "They stopped me again. They beat my ribs with police clubs and knocked my teeth out as they chased me Into Oregon." Thla man says he haa lived In Cali fornia 30 years, is a licensed construc tion engineer, an ex-service man and owns property In Riverside and Los Angeles counties. 4 IP YOU think you can beat that In the way of something weird, you'd better go ahead and try. For 40 years, or thereabouts. South ern California has reached out and grabbed 'em wherever she could find 'em. Now she belabors their ribs with police clubs and knocks their teeCb out aa she chases 'em over the border to get rid of 'cm. After thst. can ANYTHING ever surprise us again? (Continued from Page Cme.) candlrlnry of one of Holt's political enemies, etc.. etc. Nevertheless. It has stirred up far more than a local commotion Inside conftre.M and WPA headquarters. No definite cheek has been made, but there are supposed to be half a dorm WPA director around the country who are candidates for state offices Trom Rovernor down. They are said to be administering rellet for their own personal political pur poses. The WPA crowd here wishes Holt had not brouEht thst matter up at this particular time. There are unmistakable stun that some eminent occupants of the Borah bsndwscon hare lately cast off a few tow-ropes looking toward other tie-ups. Tvwit, certain uo-state New York farm leaders recently took front seats In the Borah parage. But they have let their closest friend know that they do not believe the.r Irfaho f torn can get the nomination. Bimnd Therefore, as a practical matter, In their own Interests, they have begun looking around for a second choice tn whom they have confidence. A trustworthy po"eal historian aays It Is an historical fact that the bosses never lose In an Ohio Republican primary. He has checked the record and convinced hlmseli thst. no matter whom the leaders decide to run against Senator Borah that man will win all except a few delegates around Cleveland. Incidentally, the wisest of Repub lican pollticoa hereabouta are stui betting that the nominee will be either Landon or Vandennerg. The most Interesting story behind the McMullen courtmartlal never came out. ; It was burled In briefs which defense counsel bsd on the table In the courtroom, but did not get Into the record. Consequently, no one Is mentioning the matter publicly. Just yet, although you may hear about It soon. The story centers sround the or ganization of a company In 1832 to obtain a contract from the war department for the purchase of sur plus goods, and Its subsequent ef forts to get the contract amended.

And after he does, and takes his prisoner Into court, I don't need to tell you what hap pens In a great many cases. There should be a law (yes, one more law would not hurt anything) that any driver caught under the influence of liquor should be given a six months' Jail sentence and deprived of his driver's license for one year, and to pay all damage he might do. All cars should be equipped with governors so that they could not be run so fast. Any Judge showing partiality should be debarred from his office. P. J. KIRKPATRICK. Star Route, Box 57.
