Jerry well. Me take a glove with
that old man. Him not Jerry In
answer to the announcer's cry,

be a first-rate boy next season, es-

The improvement in Stalker, which
has been noticed and commented on
by the New York trainers that did
not come to Maryland until after the
finish OF the session at Yonkers. is
entirely due to Smiths intelligent and
painstakinE instructions. But Smith
had and has good stun on which to
work There is no brighter or more
willing lad anywhere than little Stalk
er, who is showing a grateful appre-
citation of the opportunities Smith is
putting in his way.
James Boden will ship the Triple
Springs Farms stable, the star men,
Der of which is Penrose. to Bowie
on Tuesday. Penrose, who began the
season of 1918 at Havre de Grace in
April, is the winner at various tracks
of some fourteen purses. Ordinarily
the racing she has had would stale a
2-year-old off. but such is her tough
ness of fiber she appears to be as
fresh today as she was at Havre de
Grace in April or at Belmont Park

Football in Tropics
Popular with Soldiers

Football, not soccer. but the man
to-man intercollegiate type, has
been started in Porto Rico. and the
soldiers are taking to it like ducks
to water. despite heat and sandy
playing fields that elsewhere would
be considered too heavy for fast
team work. The First Battalion of
the 374th Regiment started the
football craze late in September by
challenging the rest of the regiment.
Neither side scored, but two broken
noses were reported among the
casualties. This was the first blood
drawn by the warriors, and it add
ed such zest to the life of the camp
that the 373d Regiment has taken
up the game. As result of the
interest in the football games the
athletic director has added the snort
to the regular program of the play
day events for the troops. This is
probably the first appearance NJ,
