At Orchard

Parents Are to Sponsor Indians-St. Paul Game On May 22.

By BEATRICE BURGAN

Just try to talk to an Orchard School parent or pupil about any-

a fever of baseball enthusiasm, not excluding the girls and their mothers. ~The Indianapolis-St. Paul professional game to be sponsored by the Parents’ Association May 22, is steering conversation to the subject of the great American sport. In addition, the boys are puffed with pride over their new uniforms, including bright green caps and jerseys. And they are busy practicing on the school diamonds for games with public school teams. The girls’ skill at the game has entitled them to play with the boys in these practice sessions, but they have to sit. on the sidelines for school league games.

Girls to Play Mothers

Their day will come when the parents visit the school for the annual spring baseball games. The girls - play their mothers and the boys oppose the fathers. : The mothers of the Parents’ As-

sociation have formed teams to sell |.

tickets for the Indian-Saints game at, Perry Stadium. They represent the -school grades as foHows: Mrs. G. Maynard: Halverson, 4-year-old kindergarten; Mrs. Sidney Sullivan, 5-year-old kindergarten; Mrs. Raymond Mead, first grade; Mrs. Egbert Driscoll, second grade; Mrs. Malcolm Sewell, third and fourth Mrs. Perry O’Neal, fifth grade; Mrs. Leroy Miller, sixth grade, and Mrs. Jesse Fletcher, seventh and eighth grades. Mrs. J. Landon Davis is the general chairman, and Mrs. Perry Lesh, the association president.

Entertains Sister

Mrs, O'Neal has another interest. She is entertaining her sister, Mrs. H. C. L. Miller Jr.. Richmond, Va., for whom Mrs. O'Neal's daughter, Alice, was named. Alice is one of the Orchard pupils. i Miller formerly was Miss

Mrs. Jacquelin Holliday. 7 ” "

Women are managing another for its patrons. The Indiana State Symphony Society women are banding together to offer assistance to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s budget. “The society's = committee is shouldering responsibility for sponsorship of the celebrated medal winning French film, “Carnival in Flanders” at Keith's Theater on May 17. The women are bubbling over with. ideas and enthusiasm under the direction of Mrs. Herbert M. Woollen.

Derby—Whether in Kentucky Or England—Is Gala Event

By Z. Tomorrow the eves of the world of sports and [society will be turned on Churchill Downs for the running of the Kentucky Derby.

It is an event that offers so much color and excitement that many |

spectators attend for the picture as much as to see the races. If the day is sunny, the panorama seen from the stands is unforgettable—thoroughbred horses, jockeys in bright silks, women in pastel sport clothes and crowds of peoble from every walk of life. This race inevitably reminds one_,of that older classic, the English | Derby. Hd @ — Thine a Siventialiy bes | coach comes next and following it, |

Mrs. Jock (Liz) Whitney, Cornelius vanderbilt. (Sonny). Whitney and John Hay (Jock) Whitney, gives a rap of his fingers for society. Slim, quick-tongued and independent, Mrs. Jock Whitney has made a profession of raising and training show and race horses. From the time 25-year-old Mary Elizabeth Altemus married 24-year-51d Jock Whitney, in 1930, she steadfastly has side-stepped formal parties, avoided lending her name to patroness lists and dodged being in New York during social seasons. Her world is bounded by Llangollen, ;he Virginia estate, whichr her husoand gave her as a wedding present, and Saratoga, where she spends August, the month of racing.

Some of the $191,043,582 left by his father, Payne Whitney, has been poured into it. Jock Whitney always has cared more for people who wrote or acted than for those who made a profession of society. While Jock Whitney's profession is the movies, his hobby is racing. While we are on Jock's side of the Whitney family, we must not forget

Fourth of a series of weekly articles. By HELEN WORDEN |

! Times Special Writer ; NEW YORK, May 7.—It does not always happen that first families remain first in the present generation. Intermarriage and easy living

But this is not true in the case of the Whitneys. Their tremendous wealth and individual enterprise have increased with each generation, The fact that they did not limit their ambitions to the social side of the world may have had something to do with this.

his brother-in-law and sister (Joan) Mrs. Charles Shipman Payson, and their four children, who live at Manhasset on Long Island. The Whimey family is comparatively easy to keep track of, for it is only in the third generation. I am speaking of the period in which the family became nationally known. As ga matter of fact, William C, Whitney, grandfather of the clan, traced his ancestry back to John Whitney, who settled in Watertown, Mass., in 1635. . William C. Whitney's father, John Schollay Whitney, married Laurinda Collins in 183& and had seven children. William C. brought fame. and fortune to the family name. His luck began in college, when he met Oliver Hazard Payne, Cleve« land. Returning to Cleveland after serving in the Civil War, Payne got in on the ground floor of the Stand-. ard Oil and rapidly began piling up: millions. His friend and school chum, William C. Whitney, stepped back into the picture when he married Col. Payne's sister, Flora. The colonel showered all the wealth and affection on nis sister's children. Sonny Whitney sprouted political wings when he took Gladys Hopkins, Philadelphia, for his second wife in 1931. : A more permanent profession lies in the vast Mexican holdings of Mr. Whitney in the Sonora Valley, which he. turned from a desert into a vege=~ table paradise.
