C.—AII roads lead to the National Capital to- day where, as Kipling says, “East meets West” in a finish-fight with Old Doc Mars. All day contestants have been arriving and to-night the river is dotted with pleasure-craft lying at anchor in anticipation of to-morrow’s big sport classic. The betting has been quieter than at former disarmament confer- ences, although there is a great deal of Japan money lying around if one knows where to look for it. England’s hopes received a solar- plexus jolt on the very eve of the mam- moth contest when it became known that “Welsh Davey” Lloyd George, the stocky idol of the British fans and counted on as good for at least fourteen points in the gigantic clash, was suffering from an affliction of the larynx which may keep him out of the conference for two or three days or even a week.
