HAVRE DE GRACE RACING
Somewhere in France" Lieut.. Coch-
ran VIII Hear Today That His
Horses VIII Win Three Events.

Baltimore, April 23.-Three times
the famous racing colors of Lieut..
Clifford A Cochran, who is some
where in France" flashed home in
front yesterday, at the HaVre de
Grace track. 1t was a gala day for
the friends of the New York horse
man, but their JOY was as nothing
compared to that which went to Will
lie Midgley, who trains the Cochran
string. He not only saddled Broca
telle, Bughouse and Nepperhan, the
three Cochran victors, but on Bug
house he had the pleasure of seeing
his little son, Willie, Jr., ride like
veteran.
1t was Willie, Jr.'s first mount, and
the way he handled the hard headed,
erratic Bughouse earned him the ad
miration of the big crowd and caused
veteran trainers to predict a great
future for him in the saddle. Willie,
Jr., is a mite of a lad less than 16
years old. He is not as we'll known
to racegoerS as are sons of other
trainers, because his daddy Is averse
to having him attend the races, and
it is only on rare occasions that Will
lie, Jr., sees O. contest.
But in the mornings when the
horses are being exercised little Will
lie is about the busiest person around
his fathers stable. He has breezed
some of the thorough breds, and in
pony races on festive OCCASIONS such as
Fourth of July and Memorial Day
each year on the Long Island tracks
he has ridden several winners.
Hes a chip of the old block"
said veteran horsemen who remem-
bered the sterling jockoyship of
MidgIey, Sr., more than a decade ago.
"He has all of the good qualities OIL
his father and that's going some, for
in his day Midgley, ST. was one of
Americas leading Jockeys"
Brocatelle was the first Cochran
horse to be returned the victor. With
little Fl. pullman, son of the once ia
NOUS jockey, in the saddle she de-
feated q big field of platers in the
second race. At the end she was
neck in front Of Golden Glow.
Willie, Jr., landed Bughouse home
in front in the fourth race and Nep-
perhan, ridden by Jockey Hummer,
led home a. field Of high class three
year-oIds in the sixth race. Nepper-
han finished first a nose in front of
Jack Hare, Jr., which beat Jock Scott
for second honors by three lengths.

WAR HITS HARVARD

Cambridge, Mass, April 23.-The
Harvard athletic treasury is expected
to show a deficit for the year, it was
announced yesterday, as q result of
alterations in the athletic programme
caused by the war. For the last ten
years major sports have brought IN
sufficient money to carry the expenses
of minor sports, which were not self
supporting. This year, however,
baseball and football, because of their
informal nature, have not been profit
able in spite of the great reduction
