Maybank asserted that it was "important to impress upon the people that this (anti-vice campaign) is not a fly-by-night scheme to be put in the papers but something to go on for at least the next Ave years", the period covered by the Selective Service Act. He told the officers that "if necessary, I am going to call out three, four or five hundred men" of the new Home Guard?the substitute for the Federalized National Guard?"in order to have law enforcement.

Boykni'a lip was badly . lacerated but after receiving surgical attention he came back into the game, gettlfag a big hand from the crowd.

March 211. That those lni|>ortod horses will be a real' threat on tho hunt race circuit this year is 110 idle rumor. Those who doubted their capabilities wire more than convinced when a quartet of ('Hinden-lralnod English thoroughbreds made a grand slam of the Yadkin steeplechase race at the Sandhills meeting in Southern Pines a week ago. Taking tho big jumps of tho twomile brush course In near mid-season form. Castletown, Fatal interview. Little Cottage 2nd and Mlluno 2nd pounded down the homo stretch, crossing the tape In Just that order. Strangely enough, nil four of theso horses are products of the Worldfamous lvar Antony stables in Wroughton, England, wfilch has gent out such Internationally famous jumpers as Ascetic Silver, Kellshoro Jack and Royal Mail, all listed among tho winners of tho renowned Oraml National steeplechase which is run at Aintree. Castletown, owned by F. Ambrose C'lark and trained by Granger Galther, was making his second start in this country when ho was sent out for tho Yndkln, having won an impressive victory at Saratoga last fall in Wis Initial trip over tho hurdles. Fatal Interview, sporting tho silks of Paul Mellon's Itokeby Stables, was the "Winner of several important English stakes beforo being sont to this country, and rules a strong favorite for tho 1941 meetings. Among other English and Irish imports now training here is Mrs. Esther duPont Weir's Doanslaw. A two-time winner at both Saratoga and Delaware I*nrk last year, and also boasting victories in several trips over tho flat in England, Doanslaw is one of tho best newcomers in the fame. Like Fatal Interview, ho is trained here by Jim Ryan, who plans a busy season for the big gelding on the major tracks in the Eaftt this year. St. Patrick's Day and Flying Friar, other Ryan-trained Imports, are also coming along nicely, the lattor having been beaten only by a short head by L. E. Stoddard's Scout Whistle in tho mile flat event at Sandhills, and that after giving up 24 pounds to the winner. Flying Friar carried top weight of 161 pounds, while the Stoddard entry went over the strip with 137. What will t:e_ tho outcome when these favorTtes meet ngnin Is anybody's guess. A bad start, a little luck over the jumps, or a strong finish often spoils the difference between Victory and defeat -and tho old axiom still applies, "anything can happen in a horse race." Porhaps we'll get tho answer in Camden 011 Cup day.
