Somewhere in France.

ment, with about one-third Of my

sanitary work, which is run by unit
Of celebrated New York doctors and
splendid nurses. Snow is on the

beautiful, cold, moonlight night. Ny
men are quartered in barracks. am
living at the doctors mess.
Late this afternoon we learned
that the supply Of turkeys had failed
to arrive and the Christmas dinner
would be a slim one. This cast gloom
and disappointment over the men.
Something had to be done. We Dor
rowed an ambulance and sent a ser
geant to our regimental camp to see
if we could borrow turkeys from
them if theirs had come. We sour
ried around town, to locate chicken,
duck, geese, ham or anything out OF
the usual.
Army Turkeys Arrive

late in the evening and were issued
at night; but more complications;
they were too frozen to be thawed

sweetness of the American woman's
character, the nurses also on Christ

all the French kiddies of the town.
About 800 attended, when only 100
were expected, but they managed to
give each child something.
There are many homesick Yankee

but they try hard not to show it.

$4,000 Boy Deadheads
Saw Cardinals PLAY

According to Branch Hickey, Of the
Cardinals, $4,000 boys were admitted
to championship games played on the
home grounds of the Cardinals last sea-
son. 1t had been planned still further
to increase the membership this season.
The boys occupied seats in the So
cent covered stand, and for each adj
mission over certain number-equiva-
lent to the average pass list at other
parks-a charge OF 1915 cents for each
boy was paid to visiting clubs.
On basis Of last years attendance
of "knot-holers," plus the five-cent war
tax. the Cardinal idea would cost the
club more than $4,000 this year.

Iyro Surprises
Rivals in Race
OF Ice Yachts

RED BANK, N. j., Feb. 16.--Ice yacht
racing was resumed to-day on the
North Shrewsbury, two of the pretticst
ten mile contests of the season being
sailed over the good ice made by last
nights cold snap. The surprise of the
day was the splendid performance of
Grant and Morford's Tyro, we'll handled
by Floyd Brady, who during the mild
weather shifted the runner plant back
ten inches and slung the lib ahead.
This yacht captured the second Com
nodore's race by ten seconds from
George w. Bray's Daisy, sailed by
Henry Applegate, and took second place
IN the first event by finishing eighteen
seconds behind the Daisy.
John Gibbons's Ingenue, handled by
RUDE White, picked as one Of the cham
pionship defenders, was third in both
races. L. Irving Browns Say When
finished fourth IN the first race and did
Tot start in the second. The southeast
bnrecze was not blowing hard enough
Tor the lngenuc, a heavy wind boat,
which has won most of the seasons
races.
The yachts were up in the air on a
single runner much Of the time and the
cIoSe finishes made spectacular racing
lor the onlookers. Some clever manmu-
vrlng by skipper Brady in the second
landed the Tyro in first place after be-
ing headed by the Daisy the first round.
On one occasion Brady drove the
DAISY with his Tyro into a cove, and
lacking across the river made a Big
gam with Favorable slant of wind.
Again he followed a course up the
shore and succeeded in making the
leg home in one tack, while the Daisy
tackled across the river.
After the first race Oscar Brand,

High Schools
\ Rush Entries
To Carnival

The classification Of the high sch ools
for Pennsylvania twenty-fourth an
nual relay carnival on April rs and ~
has been completed and the invitations
management desires to add that If any
high schools not mentioned on the list
wish to compete they will receive an
invitation if they write promptly to the
University Of Pennsylvania A. A.
Though these invitations have been
out only day or two, quite few
entries have been received, and it looks
as if there would be just as large ii
number of high schools as last year,
if not more, on the list. In 1917 there
were about a hundred and fifty teams
from the high schools, for which eigh-
teen races were on the two days pro-
gramme. This is an enormous number.
In fact, the relay carnival is unique.
1t attracts more colleges than are to
be found at any other meet. 1t also
has a larger number of preparatory
schools represented than at any ether
sports event.
The preparatory schools promise to
make new record this season, as they
arc entering in greater numbers than
ever before. Already all the schools in
the Interacademic A. A. of Philadelphia
have entered their championship event.
Mercersburg sent in its entry yesterday
for the preparatory school Champion
ship, and Coach Curren hopes this sea-
son to turn the tables on Exeter and
carry off this event.
The invitations for the Philadelphia
grammar and parochial schools will be
sent out some time next week after
their classification has been completed.
The grammar schools entered almost in
body last year. but much better work
could be done by the parochial schools.
1t is hoped that the parochial school
superintendent will give this matter
some special attention, so that these
schools can be fifty represented.
