New York: 
An expert at the great American pastime of "bridge, Willard 
Earn,” added a second complaint today in his slander suit 
against his competitor, Ely Culbertson, and eight others. 
Earn asked one million dollars from the eight bridge author- 
ities on charges that they started a slanderous ‘'''gossip” 
campaign against him. The card expert said the defendants 
attacked his fairness at the card game. We can see no reason 
why gossip at bridge tables should be limited to women . 
Chicago : 
Turf favorites were prepared today at Arlington Park for the 
$30,000.00 classic to be run on Saturday. Likely favorites 
in the classic ore Maxwell Howard’s ’’Stagehand” and "The Chief” 
Trainer Earle Sande said ho Is well satisfied with their 
present condition. Sande did not seem worried over the entrance 
of Hal Price Headley’s ’’Menaw” in the classic. He still thinks 
”The Chief ” can beat the conqueror of "War Admiral". Menow 
recently romped over War Admiral and other older horses in the 
*>50,000.00 Massachusetts Handicap.

Square Garden. Mike Jacobs agreed to stage the match in the
