Between You and Me
(By THB 8KIPPER)
During all the excitement ot the
race program last week no matter
where we went, dinner, ball or some
sporting event, the talk generally
turned to the European situation.
/ ?
What Interested me particularly was
the discussion on the Ludlow' proposal
for a popular vote before the U. S.
can engage in a war on foreign soil.
[ It seems that the Roosevelt administration
is dead ag'ip this and congress
will probably put the skids under it
Most of the folks around here who
I did the talking in the groups seem
to think this to be just too bad and
resented the attitude of the administration
that a group of men sitting in
Washington has the right to say
whether thousands ot us are to be
slaughtered in the interest of some
foreign nations.
A fellow in one of the Sunday papers,
if 1 recollect rightly, suggested these
questions: "Has any diotator ever injured
you? Has any European nation
- so harmed your country as to justify
you going over there and- murdering
young men and perhaps getting murdered
yourself? Do you wish to send
ycur husband, your son, or your brothr
er to face death In Europe to preserve
the British and French Empires? Are
1 you foolish enough to believe that
rjsauuid Get aiau; null littipr uuuquer
Europe (and they certainly will not)
they will come over here and conquer
the United States."
Fellow named Walter Scott who
lives in Charlotte has the best suggestion
we have heard to curb' this
silly nonsense by our Washington legislators.
He says: "Let Congress retain
its present power to declare war.
Then adopt an amendment making it
compulsory for. - every Congressman
who votes to go to war except in case
- of actual invasion, to Join the United
States army. The senators could go
in as first lieutenants and the house
members as second lieutenants.
Seems to me that idea is swell. And
you can wager all yon won on the
cup race that congress will never vote
us into another war.
To continue about this foreign- stuff
I think the best I have heard in weeks
was the comment of a member of
British parliament who said "We shall
not be able to enjoy ourselves until
Franco's widow tells Stalin on his
deathbed that Hitler has been assassinated
at Mussolini's funeral."
We are forced v to( the conclusion
that a big majority ^Wf the spectators
at the cup races Saturday were more
or less dumb-?froin the standpoint of
their faith on Masked Knight, even to
| race Jtnowledge. For instanoe, take
the Baton DeKalb race. Many pinned
the extent of placing generous wagers
that the favorite would not let them
down. And when. Royal Thomas, ft
swell looking grey came home by a
mile those Who had wagered on Mask 1
1
ed Knight left the race area with
downcast mien and sodden clothes
Later when they found that Royal
Thomas and two other horses had
,been disqualified and Masked Knight
was winner, they sought frantically to
collect on their wagers.. They had the
staff of the Camden News Service answerlng
phone calls from all points
of the compass Saturday night and all
day Sunday. The calls came from
points many hundreds of miles from
Camden.
All the news purveyors could say
was that the parties to the complaint
had been very short-sighted in leaving
the area before the red board
showed the official returns on the
race.
'"
And so for the guidance of those
who attend future events of a race
nature, don't leave until the official
results of a race has been bulletined.
Dick Floyd, rated as one of the best
polo players in the mldsouth and captain
of the Camden polo club, is definitely
out of play for the rest of the
Camden season and may not be able
j to get into early season action at the
j Meadowbrook club on Long Island
Dick's right thumb was broken when
struck by a mallet during a scrim
mage in Sunday's Rambler-Yellow
Jacket game here.
-W_. : .
Polo continues to draw the crowd?
to Camden, as evidenced by the big
tuiOu5-??l tli? Ny. 1 uelu ittni ouuuay.
Next Sunday the Town and Country
teams will go ,ihto action in a series
for the county title.
Carolina Cup day in Camdea appears
to be jinxed. For the past
three years the classic has been featured
by freakish weather. In 1937
the race was run in a snow storm, in
1938 it was rainy and this year the
elements combined to offer a combination
of wind, thunder, lightning, *
cloudburst and a hail storm.

The Syracuse Chiefs ran smack
into trouble at Augusta last Sunday
I when the Tigers put up a hard-hitting
errorless brand of ball to put the International
leaguers down for an 8 to
3 count. Kleinhaua started for the
Chiefs and was nicked for enough
I blows in the fourth to give Augusta
4 rune. Gee came to the hill . in the
fifth and was^'greetedT'"by a barrage
'of blows to net three more runs, after
two men were down.
One of the college teafiis down this
way has a cohple of fine prospects on
it and Corbett is figuring on offering
Ih contract to one or both of the men
he likes. If they should accept it
it would mean the loss of one year's
j football to the players for being pr<6I
fesslonal ball players would make
them ineligible for the football team.
When asked if the signing of the boys
would be permitted by organised baseball,
Corbett said' it would and re
marked that according to what he
had read about college football by college
presidents, the schools were only
Interested in the men securing an education
and football was incidental.
Jack may take the presidents at their
word but if he does, it is likely that
some alumni association will run a
temperature.

Jackets Take Russell
Cup In Polo Tilt
The highest polo honor of the Mid*
South, the Russell Memorial cup.
weut luto the trophy chest of the
Yellow Jackets by virtue of an 8 to I
victory over the Ramblers In the double
bill played on the No. 1 polo field
Sunday afternoon.
ThO game was highlighted by drama
and tragedy?drama in the brilliant
work of the Yellowjacketa and tragedy
in an accident that befell Capt.
Dick Floyd of the Polo club, who was
leading the Ramblers. Floyd was
struck in the right hand by a mallet
wielded by DuBose of the Jackets during
a scrimmage In the sixth chukker
and a broken thumb resulted.^ ^Floyd
had tQ retire, his place being taken
by Ancrum Boykln.
The Yellowjacketa broke the 6 to 6
extra chukker deadlock of the game
of the previous Sunday, early In the
first chukker of today's game when
Watson Pomeroy, playing the No. 3
position on the Jackets, Bhot a 60-yard
gift shot squarely between the goal
posts.
The game played under sunny
skies and in a May temperature attracted
a record crowd of fans who
witnessed one of the most spectacular
mallet tilts of the season. Many hundreds
of people who had come to
Camden for the swank Carolina Cup
classic of Saturday remained over for
the polo match.
The blueclad Ramblers tied up the
count for today's game within three
minutes when Kirby Tupper blasted
an angle shot to score. But Pomeroy
raced down the field with the
ball after taking It at the west end
and scored to put the Yellows again
to the fore. * ,
Floyd started his scoring in the
second and his first goal tied the
count at 2-all. Charley Little picked
up a long (JrlVe and arched It through
to put the Yellows to the lead. But
Tupper got hot and his goal a few
minutes later knotted the count at
the bell. AJ
Floyd put the Ramblers ahead' in
the third but early in the fourth
Pomeroy shot a reverse angle shot
home and again the score was tied.
Carl Llghtfoot, whose riding and
defense work were outstanding, put
the GreenB again ahead, but DuBose,
a hard rising player, Bcored a deadlock.
Llghtfoot arched a long drive home
in the fifth and the Yellows took the <
lead. Floyd scored to again force a
tie. Carl Llghtfoot put his Jackets
in front, 7 to 6, at the end of the
chufcker with a well placed drive. In
the sixth Llghtfoot was the only
player to count, the Ramblers being
held scoreless, end the Yellows went
on to win, 8 to 6.
Next Sunday Town and Country
will open the final series of the season.
Whether Floyd will be able to
play Is doubtful. If he cannot wield
the mallet Boykln will appear In his
position.
