Game as Well as
Base Ball.

HAVANA. January 1.-The foot ball
team of the Athletic Club of Cuba de-
feated the Tulane University team
from New Orleans at Almendares PARK
this afternoon by score Of IL to q.
This was the first victory the Cuban
foot ball players had ever gained over
an American team. and their success.
following closely the recent series OF
base ball victories by Cuban teams. has
greatly elated the people. and tonight
there was much celebrating.
Tulane was beaten from start to I'm
ish. The Americans were outweighed
and outplayed by their opponents,
among whom were several former
members of the first-class college teams
of the United States. The game was
witnessed by big crowd. among whom
were the highest representatives of Ha-
vana society.

Race Tracks for Mexico.

Ell PASO, Tex, January l.-Work on
the second of the four big race tracks
planned by the Mexican Jockey Club will
begin soon near the city of Mexico. This
plant. costing nearly $1,O0O.OOO, will be
named Diaz Park. With Juarez already
established the promoters of racing in
Mexico, assured that the sport will prove
immensely popular, will subsequently con-
struct tracks at Guadalajara and Mon
terey.
The Mexican government is lending
moral and financial support to these ven
lures, and is not inclined to regard Sc
riously the attempt by various reform
bureaus to induce congress to ask for the
suppression Of racing and betting at
JuareZ.

Michigan Too Strong?

DETROIT. Mich, January 1.-Michigan
is experiencing trouble in returning to
the fold of the conference colleges. The
strongest opposition has developed at
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Chicago. There
is evidence of an intention to punish
the Wolverines for their detection and
desire to dictate, and to refuse any and
all concessions. Both Pennsylvania and
Michigan find it little wearing to make
the long trip for an annual game, and
it is something of hardship for the
student body as well. 1t is doubtful if
these intersectional meetings do as much
good as they do harm.

The Yearlings Are Untried.

These yeaSlings, unlike their predeces-
sors, are practically untried. In other
years 1t was James Rowes policy to give
the Keene colts and FLIES tryout to de-

method was not pursued because the
youngsters were all more or less cough

them.

KEENE'S RACERS TO
LAND AGAIN ON TOP
Forty Horses Are in Training,
a Bigger String Than Last
Season.

James K. keene looms large as the prob
able leading winning owner Of 1910. His
string of racers this year will be much
greater than 1t was last season, for the
stable has been reinforced by some horses
from England, where they raced in 1909.
In his big stable at the big Sheepshead
bay track are forty ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
tocrats in blood, style, bone and SUBJ
stance. If fine appearance counts for any,
thing and presages speed and endurance
in the thoroughbreds then the dean of
the American turf again will carry on
the lions share of the turf trophies of the
local racing season.
For five years Mr. Keene has been the
banner bearer in the matter Of money
won In 1907 his racers were well-nigh
inyincible and won a trifie over 10000
the largest amount ever earned by sin
gle racing stable i'm turf season in this
country or abroad. That was the year
Colin and Celt swept away opposition and
Ballot, Peter Pan and Superman played
important parts in winning many Dig
events.
With the memory still green of such
great youngsters as Mr. keene has In
troduced to the American racegoer In
other years, it would be a bold man who
would predict that the present crop OF
yearlings will excel their predecessors
in the matter of speed. Ones mind goes
back to such champions as Commando,
Sysonby, Peter Pan, Colin, Celt. Maskette
and Sweep, with the fine racers Tommy
Atkins, Olympian, Chacornac, Superman,
Pope Juan. Cap and Bells and Ballot
mingling with them to round out the fuil
strength of their prowess
Still, in the face of all those mighty
horses, there are many in the younger
brigade that look so fine and have shown
such great speed in their few brief pipe
openers that many turfmen who have
seen them declare them to be the best
lot of yearIings ever sent out from Castle
ION Sind Farm And that is great praise.

are household treasures. Several years
ago, when census of the cats was

city's limits The cats are so useful
in preventing rats from spreading the

Jacks Christmas
KATHERINE ROTH,
Age IL Years

IT guess we won't have any Christ
mas dinner this year." complained
Jack two days before the holidays
mo, dear, 1 guess not; and I'm
afraid there will be no presents,
either" answered his mother.
Two years before Jacks father had
gone away to fight for his country.
Six months passed by and there was
no news from him. Then one day a
letter came, telling of his death; how
the flag carrier had been killed, and he
had run back into the arms of the
enemy to save his flag.
Since that time Jack and his mother
had been struggling hard to make both
ends meet. They had managed every
year, but this time luck was against
them. They were to have no Christ
mas celebration. Though Jack was
only child of years, his belief in
old st. Nicholas had been shattered by
his mothers announcement
The snow lay on the ground, form
ing soft covering for the grass and
flowers.
Suddenly the inmates of the little
cottage heard a sharp knock on the
door. Opening it they found messen-
ger boy outside "Mr. Dalton the man
ager of the theater, has had trouble
with the boy that gives out the pro-
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-25

grams, and he is willing to pay Jack $5
TO take his place for tonight" he an
nounced. Jumping up, Jack grabbed
his hat and coat and followed theaboy
down the road to the 'theater. When
he arrived there he took his place at
the door and at once began his duties.
Many stopped to look at his happy
face, but none knew what happy
heart beat under his threadbare coat.
At last the show was over, and as the
crowd thronged to the doors some one
tapped Jack on the shoulder. Turn
ing, he saw Mr.. Dalton, the manager.
Here is your money" he said, handing
the boy IS, and how would you like
to hold this position all the timer"
Jacks face frightened up as the
manager made this proposition. He
took the place, and that night there
wasn't a happier or lighter heart in
all the country around. Contrary to
Mrs Browns prediction, they had both
presents and a large dinner that
Christmas.
Many years have passed. Jack is
now young man. Mr.. Dalton has re-
signed his position and the vacancy
has been supplied by Jack Brown. His
mother also has every comfort possi-
BILE, but they never will forget the day
when they had given up all hope and
the little messenger boy brought Jack
the greatest present he could receive,
his position.

Java Bread Fruit

Jack trees (another name for bread
fruiD grow wild in Java. The trees
are very straight and have trunks ris-
ing to nearly so feet. The fruit are 80
inches long and ~ inches broad, the
weight often reaching 120 pounds. The
flesh OF the fruit is delicious and
the oily seeds are eaten roasted. The
wood is a beautiful yellow in color and
is hard enough TO be used for furniture
and cabinet work. When struck il
gives a very clear note. Hence bells
are made OF ii and pieces OF the wood
are also used by watchmen on the
mountains for giving signals.

arms and the unfinished hobble skirt
before her.

By ALICE ToFT,


mountain View, Cal. Age Ia Years
1t was the day before Christmas and
Joy Montgomery could find nothing to
90. Every one was busy and a tiny
girl like Joy was lin the way In vain
she tried to make her doll Lady Mar
ina Washington, hobbleskirt, but it
would not go right.
Never mind, Lady Martha" she said.
Perhaps Santa will bring you one
How l would like to see him"
Ha! Ha! OLD st. Nick never saw
hobble," said voice.
Sitting on a corner OF the table was
a brownie.
"Hellop' said JOY 81 believe you are
from Santa Claus"
We'll, of course. Do you want to
pay him a visit?'
DO II" cried JOY; TIL come this
minute. oh, how lovely to go to the
pole"
What are you talking about, Miss
JoyY'
and have"
North pole nothing. He. couldn't
have his workshop up there. Why, he
must be somewhere where he won't be
disturbed, and at the north pole bears
and explorers are likely to interrupt
him any minute. Kris Kringle lives
in the middle of the earth and the vol
canoes are the chimneys from his fur
naces. He has to keep a lot of fire to
run all those toymaking machines.
Consequently the volcanoes are always
smoking, and when an eruption takes
place something's gone wrong with his
machinery. Lots of times it's so bad
that he can't use that chimney again,
and that makes an extinct volcano.
II don't believe it," said JOY. How
on earth do you get into the middle of
the earth?'
Don't use the word earth so MANY
times. 1t makes me nervous and
