Little Miss LittefieId Made Hit With Tickle.
Odom Not a Kicker Except When He
Starves-Long Delayed Killing

There was nothi~~ to run against Uncle
Urigh but James F., who was outcIass-
ed, and Odom began the season with a
winning mount.
but there is a mutual understanding
with Matt Allen, who trains for "Dia-
mond Jim" Brady. and Odonl will rice

ginning with the Saratoga meeting
doom has long been III favor with the
Sanfords and has won many races in
their purple and yellow silks.
Odom is not much given TO complain
ing and the rela tons between the San
fords and himself We're always pleas
ant. The only kick he ever made was
at Morris Park two years ago He was
lighting hard in those days to keep OF
weight and was often as hungry as the
poorest tramp in the country, simply be-
cause he did not dare eat, though there
was plenty all around him.
One afternoon ct the Westchestei
track he stood leaning against tbs
fence with a most forlorn and de-
jected look. He had on the Sanford
jacket, for he was to ride in the follow
ing race.

rounds before the Eureka Athletic Club.

serted with great force this morning

Corbett was training as hard for Sui
Ivan as he did for Battling Nelson.
Let us hope this is so. 1t is not I'M
probable that Corbett is training hard
and faithfully, for if he fails TO win from
the Washington man it will show con-
clusively that the Denver kid has gone
hack further than anyone has thought,
and he will cease to be the drawing
card he expected to be for the campaign
he has mapped out in the East.
Sullivan always trains in the doggeu'

istic of his fighting. He does not DIS

When Tickle won the two-year-old
race at Benning yesterday afternoon she
carried the colors Of the youngest own
er of a racing stable in this country
to victory for the first time this season
Tickle belongs to Thelma Walden Lit
tlefield, the nfne-year-old daughter Of
Fred Littlefield and granddaughter OF
Wyndham Walden. Many years ago Mr..
Walden was jockey and he has been
one of Americas foremost trainers fer
a quarter of a century. Fred Littlefield,
too, was a great Jockey, ana only ceased
riding four or five years ago.
Coming from such a racing and riding
family 1t was natural that Little Miss
Littlefield should be q horsewor.an. Her
earliest remembrances are Of the thor
oughbreds and it seemed eminently it-
ting when two years ago she was given
by her grandfather horse or two as
a nucleus of a racing stable.
The first horse to race in her name
was F>unnyside, bred at Mr.. Walden s
Bowling Brook stud in Maryland. Fun
nyside won several races as a two-year-
old, and the little Iady's racing debu,
was a successful one.
When in the course of time there ap-
peared at the farm a half sister to
Funnyside, it was at once agreed that
she should join Miss Littlefield' s
stable. The young lady puzzled greatly
over name for her new racer. The dam
Of the youngster is Merriness and it
has been the custom of the Walden
family to give their .oung racers a
name suggested by THAI of the dam.
Miss Littlefield was allowed to select
the name without any suggestions from
the older members of the family. She
was versed in the Walden ethics of
naming horses, and considered many
names which were suggested to her by
the dam-Merriness.
One morning last summer a commo-
ton in her bedchanber brought her
parents rushing to the room. They
found her sitting up in bed chuckling
to herself with great glee
I've got name for my flly," she
chirruped I'm going to call her
Tickle L think that's a lovely name.
don't your
Whether her parents thought so or no
cut no ice. for her word was law. and
the bay filly by Fiiigrane-MerCiness was
registered as Tickle. She raced for the
first time yesterday. and simply ran
away from one OF the best fields OF
two-year-olds that has been out at the
meeting.

PLAY V|LLANOvA
TEAM TOMORROW
George Washington Ball
TOssers Confident.

The George Washington University
baseball team will play its first game
on the home grounds tomorrow, It's
opponents being the strong aggregation
from Villanova College. The game last
Saturday with the Navy, which was lost
in the tenth inning by the narrow score
of 6 to 5, inspired the Buff and Blue
men with confidence, and the Pennsyl-
] yania lads will have to play much
stronger than the Middies to come OH
victorious.
DIR. Harry White has made one change
in the team, which is thought to be a
good one Van Welt has been brought
in from the outfield and will play third
base in tomorrow's game In this boy Dr.
White has Ilnearthed an infielder of rare
ability, and before the college season
is over it is predicted that he will rank
as one of the best third basenen in this
section of the country.
Changes Strengthen.

The Telephone Ear.

peculiar development of the sense
OF hearing has been discovered as be
ing the result OF the use of the tele-
phone. Most people when using the
instrument hold the receiver to the
left ear because 1t comes more natural
to adjust the mouthpiec- with the right
hand. So it happens that from an ex-
tensive use of the telephone the hear
Ing of the left ear is sharpened at the
expense of the right. In the majority
of cases the difference between the two
Is not very great, but in some persons
1t Is alarmingly so. The sensitive
nerves are so irritated by the sound
