Ysnl.s Almost outnumbered.

With ten of the twenty-four start
ers in the race foreigners, the Yam
; KEGS come very near being outnum-
bered. There are five Australians in
the race and as many Europeans, and
there never was a short-hour six-day
race run in America In which there
were as many foreign entries. The
star of the European entry is Fran
cesco Yerri, who has been through
three continuous races, and probably
the three hardest races ever run,
without being Tapped. Verri has fin
lshed in the money in every race, and
Is one Of the best six-day riders in the
came.

ono Dollar between -Four.

The Yankees and the Australians
can expect strong opposition from
the four refugee riders from Europe,
Colombato, Provost, Linart, the Bel
gian champion, and Dupuy. These
riders were practically driven from
Europe, and they are riding for sub
sistence. Yesterday, up at the Velo-
drome, where the "allies'' are train
ing. they took an inventory of their
wealth, and the sum total was one
dollar. Under the circumstances,
they will ride with the desperation
born of necessity. They will prob
ably not win the race, and they may
not finish as well as fourth or fifth,
but they are sure to make a lot of
trouble for the other teams in the
race and furnish considerable inter-
esting racing for the fans. OF
course, these riders are not facing
actual want, for Manager MeFar-
land is taking care of them, and he
will continue to take care of them,
but they are not looking for charity,
and want to win their way through
the winter and until the time comes
when they may return to Europe.

Many Stars in the Race.

At least twelve of the riders in the
A'ace can be classed as six-day stars.
There is ALI Goullet, the winner of
four straight continuous races; Joe
Fogler, winner of five races in the
Garden; Eddie Root, the winner OF
four New York six day races; Jimmy
Moran, the winner of two New York
races and three big races In Europe;
Bob Walthour, the winner of two New
York races, and Kaiser. Cameron,
Lawson, Drobach and Wohlrab, who
must be classed as a star, after his
great showing during the four days
he was in the recent New York race.

European. in GOOD Condition.

These foreigners started in the New
York race with practically no
preparation, and they failed to finish,
but they have had three weeks OF
solid training and are in the best
possible shape for the race here.
They were all disappointed with
their New York showing and are
anxious to make good in this race.
Dupuy and Linart look the best, and
they will probably go through the
race without any difficulty. The Bel
gian went into the New York race
without a single workout. and. in
addition, he was in half starved
condition. Before coming to America
he had spent five weeks in refugee
camp at Folkstone, England, where
abe food was not of the best, and
there was not much of it. either, and
It Is hard to conceive of a more try
ing situation for an athlete, and
especially a six-day bicycle rider.
That Linart lasted as long as he did
in the New York race is marvellous

y 1t is a well-balanced field of riders,
snd Manager Mcfarland says it is
the best field ever gotten together for
a short-hour six-day contest There
is in the lineup six riders who have
won the New York siX-day race, and
i've who have won big six-day races
in Europe. which speaks we'll for the
class of the field. Every rider in the
race, with the exception OF Julian Pro-
vost, of France. and Gus Wohlrab,
has been through q six-day race, and
Wohlrab would have gone through
the recent New York race, If he had
had a good partner.

took the Market street road to Rochelle
Park and then cut across to Spring VAL

UNDERGRADUATES
MAKING TOYS FOR
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Children Will Be Made
Happy by the Work of
Pupils in Public Schools.

Thanksgiving Day now a pleasant
memory, pupils OF the public kindergar-
tens began today to prepare for Christ
mas. Many thousands OF little Philadel-
phians. some Of them but years old, ars
reducing the high cost Of playing by
making their own toys.
Poverty will deny n happy Christmas
TO fewer youngsters this year than ever
before, because those who cannot afford
TO buy playthings are making them Tor
themselves.
Miss Anna w. Williams, supervisor Of
kindergartens, and her assistant, Miss
Virginia B. Jacobs, declare that II their
plans are fully executed few children In
this city will be without some toy on the
most Important day in the calendar OF
childhood.
Daily instructions in costless toy-mak-
Ing will be a part of the curriculum be-
tween now and Christmas. A series of
mothers meetings has also been ar
ranged, at which Miss Williams and Miss
Jacobs will tell the parents how they
can assist in bringing about an mex
penslve Christmas for their offspring.
The older boys in the manual training
shops will devote a large, part OF their
time to the manufacture Of doll houses
from soap boxes. They will perform the
more difficult tasks, while kindergarten
has evolved n scheme by which candy
boxes and pill receptacles can be con-
verted into dolls furniture. She is show
ing the little ones today how to crochet
miniature rugs.
Make-believe animals that will provide
as much entertainment as those that are
to be bought In the high-class toy stores
will be made from cardboard, and already
several hundred cereal boxes have been
fashioned into charming little Nonh's
arks. In several schools tinfoil Is being
used as a substitute for metal in the
manufacture of playthings.
ITS surprising" said Miss Jacobs,
what wonderful toys can be fashioned
out of materials that cost practically
nothing Any old box, wooden or card
board, that has been lying about the
house for want of room in the waste
basket has possibilities of play In It, The
average kindergarten child Is sufficiently
dextrous to make toys.
I'VE teachers have been forced each
year TO witness the greatest of all trag-
edies in Juvenile life-the empty Christ
mas stocking. But we have decided that
there Is remedy for this condition. We
have learned that 1t Is not at all neces-
sary TO have money to make Christmas a
reality to unfortunate youngsters BY
education in the art of toymalSing. and
1t is an art which children will naturally
comprehend we can make every poor boy
and girl in Philadelphia his or her own
Santa Claus"

DR.. BRATHENAHL DECLINES
Unable to Assume Post of City Mis-

The Rev. DR.. G. c. F. Brathenahl. Of
Washington, d. c., who was elected SUI
psrlntendent OF the Episcopal City Mis-
sion some weeks ago. to succeed the Rev.
DIR. Herman L. Duhring, has declined the
invitation. and It will now be necessary to
choose another man TO head the work
At the primary synod OF the Third
Province, Pittsburgh last week. Doctor
Brathenahl was chosen provincial secre-
tary and. since this position will occupy
all the secretary's time, 1t was suggested
By high churchmen before the synod that,
since there was every probability that
Doctor Brathenahl would be chosen, II
was hardly likely that he would come to
Philadelphia.
The Rev II. Cresson MeHenry, who has
been assistant superintendent OF tina City
Mission for about 20 years, will continue
In charge OF the work until some man Is
elected and accepts the position OF super
intendent.

OF the husband to maintain as ardent
wooing after marriage as during the
courtshlp This is the opinion of 100 De-
troit wives, expressed in letters to the
Rev. Howard A. Field pastor of the
Simpson NJ. g. Church. The letters were
requested by Mr.. Field and the pastor
based a sermon, "The ideal Husband" on
them. All agreed that the ideal husband
must be an ideal lover. Other necessary
qualities of an ideal husband In the order
of their Importance were fixed as fol-
lows:
He must be lover of home
He must be Industrious, even to the ex-
tont OF being willing to roll up his sleeves
and help tidy the house
He must be morally pure; there can be
no double standard OF purity
He must treat his wife as his equal, not
as a servant.
He must be temperate.
