"HREE of the Oldest turfmen in
the world are in FL Paso to at
tend the race meeting across the
river. Their total age is 235 years,
averaging IS years and four months
each. They are Uncle Jimmie" Gray,
Of Minco, Okla, age Sc, dean of the
Lrlo; Green B. Morris, age 81, and
george Morgan, age So. Two of the
three men are still active in the race
game and have racing stables quar-
tered across the Rio Grande.
Perhaps the greatest figure on the
american turf today is Green B. Nor
rls, man who, when a boy in his
teens, was a jockey, and during his
career he has owned and trained some
OF the most sensational performers
on the North American continent
There are few classics in the United
States that have been annual events
for years that some of his thorough
Dreds have not won. The American
derby, the Kentucky derby, the Brook
lyn, Saratoga, Metropolitan and other
handicaps have been won in years gone
by by horses that carried the coIors
OF this turfman.
Mr.. Morris, although 81 years of age,
still trains a stable of thoroughbreds
and his horses are often returned win
ners. He won races across the river
this winter with Wavering, one of his
proteges. He is known by and knows
every turfman of any note in the
states. He can be found any morning
at the peep of day at his training
quarters giving orders to stable boys
and watching his horses being worked
out. He does not wear glasses and
can clock thoroughbred with as much
accuracy as practically any profess
siOnal clocker.
Uncle Jimmie" Gray has also cam
paigned many fast horses and won
many classics with them. Unlike Mr..
Morris he has campaigned his stable
mostly on western tracks. The good
Uncle Jimmie Gray was
name after him, as was Mtnco Jimmie,
a recent winner Since he and Mr.. Nor
Tis started on the turf they have cir
cled the globe many times in point
of miles. Mr.. Morris almost crosses
the continent twice every year, cam
paigning his horses in Mexico, Can
ada, New York, Kentucky, Maryland
and other tracks.

recent winner of the Ahumada handi-
cap, is favorite for the Toluca handi-
cap, at five furlongs, in which four

London, Eng Dec. 1.-THE warfare
between those who want professional
football continued during wartime, and
those who think the players and en-
ployes of the football clubs ought to
be at the front goes on merrily.
The chief argument of those who
oppose the discOntinuance Of the games,
which draw every Saturday even larger
crowds than the American baseball
worlds series contests, is that the loss
Of the millions of dollars which the
football ''magnates' pay out for sala-
ries and other expenses would be a
crushing economic blow to a large
class, The sporting editor of the Daily
News, for instance, says:
4 contend that football is an abso-
lutte necessity to the community. Stop
it and you will drive the men who
are making guns, ammunition, uni
forms, boots, etc, into wilderness of
the drink shops on Saturday afternoon.
The men who are fighting
and will fight later on, or who are
doing the nations urgent work at
home, have selected professional foot
ball as their mode of weekly relief
from the worries of their labor"
Poet Laureate Voices Opposition.
The other side of the argument is
presented in an open letter from Dr.
Robert Bridges, the poet laureate. He
says:
in declaring that it is high time pro-
fessionaI football should be discontin-
ued.
"The sightseeing crowds are not so
much to blame, I hope, as they appear
to be; I take it they are ignOrantly

~y defeating the Bean team by a
score Of to Wednesday after
H. noon at the foundry grounds the
San Jacinto boys captured the first
event on the El PasO Herald banner
for the soccer championship of the city
BealI sprung a unique formation by
having a double koal keeper system. This
formation strengthened the defence to
such an extent that san Jacinto was una
BILE to put the ball over during the first
half The system, however, played
havoc with the Beall offensive as is
attested by the fact that San Jacinto
kent the ball in the Beau territory
almost every moment of play. Some
long kicks did put the ball in the San
Jacinto territory on two or three oc-
casions, but its stay there was very
brief Bean's full backs and two goal
keepers managed to keep the ball from
passing between the upriEhts during
the first half. But after a few minutes
play in the second half Lawrence Shea
sent the ball sQuarely through. A short
time later Ralph Carberry kicked the
ball inside the left upright, and when
the goal keeper on that side allowed
the ball to sift through his hands the
second goal was scored. The last goal

Larger Men Have Advantage.
Wednesdays game clearly empha-
sized one fact 1t is that, as in any
other game, a good big man has de-
cided advantage over a good little man
in almost every department of the
game The only exception to this rule
is in the dribbling. In this depart
ment, little Ralph Carberry, the
smallest boy on the field, was the only
boy who showed any real mastery Of
this really scientific branch OF the
game. Ralph's legs are so short that
he frequently dribbles with his knees
as well as with his feet. This is some
thing which a larger boy would be
unable to do except by bouncing the
ball and if he did that he would lose
all control of it. Ralph also kicked

to drive the ball very far, but his kicks
