Judging By the increased number OF
clubs representing the various sections
Of the country In the annual cup tie
competition Of the United States Foot
ball Association, now pending, and
about to enter upon It's third round,
the game Of soccer football Is more
than holding Its own in this country
and is gaining recruits.
The United States Football Associa-
ton. the governing body Of soccer
now in the third year Of its existence
has come to stay, and under the foster
ing care of such men as John A
Fernley, Of Pawtucket, x. l.. the presi-
dent, and Thomas W. Cahill, Of New
York, the secretary, is mainly respon-
sible for the healthy condition in
which its followers find the sport TO-
day
The associations has had It's ups and
downs, and only as recently as Novem'
Der OF this year there were indics-
tions Of an approaching storm, which
however, was safely weathered. The
seat OF government was formerly in
New Jersey, in and around Newark
where the old American Association
still holds sway and continues to
attract fine crowds.
Here trouble arose through the sus
pension OF officials Of the New Jersey
Football Association. following indis
Greet action in permitting professional.

pensions ordered by the emergency
committee were upheld at the council
meeting at Providence. where irmnes:

superiority over the best crews OF the
Canadian boat clubs, which used to do

Thoroughbred racing passed another
milestone on the high road TO its one
time glory and glamour IN the year now
edglng out Ono more track, that OF
the Metropolitan Jockey Club at ia
maiea. opened It's long closed gates
and added q fortnight more Of sport
to the season.
The crowd. returned, too. There was
marked increase In the attendance
at the AQueduct and Jamaica meetings,
but Belmont Park, always popular with
the rAcegosrs, surpassed them all On
Memorial Day more than 10000 persons
passed through the gates Of the West
chester Racing Associations course.
This Is high water mark since the
day that Colin won the Belmont Stakes,
back In 1908.
The month long nesting at Saratoga
Springs Was successful beyond the
hopes Of the most sanguine, surpsss-
ing even those golden days at the up
state track that the oldtimers love to
talk about
Tho amateur meetings at Piping
Rock, Belmont Park Terminal and on
the estates Of Fl. P. whitney and Jo-
seph E. Widener added the more color
ful and intimsts touch 70 racing lack
ing at the bigger tracks.
The three associations In Maryland
reported at the end OF last month that
their spring a9d fall meetings were the
best both In sport and in point Of at
tendance In many seasons.
H. P. Whitney, who, because OF the
death Of his brother-in-lsw, Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt leased his racing
stable to L. S. Thompson, headed the
list OF winning owners, with more than
100000, OF this. s6S,67l was won on
the Jockey Club tracks. Thunderer,
the Futurity winner. earned ST, 3a5 OF
this and Dominant Sls,945. Borrow and
Regret contributed as their share S23,-
l5J by their victories in Kentucky,
while the string campalgned In Canada
made up the difference.
Fewer horses stood out markedly
from among their fellows and no worlds
records were broken. Little Roamer,
idol OF the present day racegoers, re
tanned his niche as the most popular, II
not the best, thoroughbred on the East
ern tracks. His race In the Queens
County Handicap, In which be beat
Stromboli and Harmonicon by the
breadth OF a mans hand in one OF the
most stirring finishes IL the annals Of
the turf, stamped him as one apart.
The gallant son OF knight Errant-
Rose Tree II won seven races, among
them the Saratoga Handicap and Sara
toga Cup and the Hsyre de Grace'Han-
d.cap. More defeats were his portion
than in his three-year-old year, but In
every instance he was carrying Il heavy
impost and giving away weight in big
chunks. Several races, moreover, were
run on a heavy track, for which ne has
little liking.
II. Y. Whitney's Regret also earned
her right TO a place among the best by
virtue OF her victory IN the Kentucky
Derby. The unbeaten daughter OF
broomstick Jersey Lightning was the
first OF her sex to win the classic on
Churchill Downs. Her other start was

JAPAN'S PRESSURE

Although the chief attention OF TIT
people of the world is at present
!rivetted upon the fighting in thu
eastern and western war zones o
Europe, side glances on Japan's un
warranted movement against China
at time when the principal white
nations are warning for supremacy
cannot be resisted. Nippon seems tt
assume that the hermit kingdom IS
her natural prey. China generally
submissive mu slight or become tail
to the Japanese kite.
The history of China affords an IN
teresting study. The nation seems TO
have been football of more mis-
chievous countries for centuries.
After having at different times been
despoiled of parts of her rich ter
ritory neighbor of the Monaghan
race would absorb the entire nation.
What the Chinese nation is today
it seems to have been as far back as
it's history can be traced.
Long before the Christian era the
following concerning Sores (Cmna)
was written: "The region is vast
and populous country, touching on.

the habitablc world, and extending
