Ears Keep Growinq.

An odd thing about ears is that throughout ones lifetime they continue to grow bigger. The ears of a girl, admired perhaps for their small size, are fairly large by the time she has reached middle age. Tn old age they may be larger. In any company of people one may notice that it is the elders that have the big ears. In the very old they are overgrown.

JOCKEYS SELDOM COME BACK
Unlike Ball Player or Fighter Rider
Rarely Returns to Saddle--His
Cunning Gone.

A ball player who has been a hitter
Will retain his hitting eye until the
very last, and fighter who was clever
will keep his knowledge of how to
fight when everything else is gone, but
when jocky goes, he goes, every
which way, seems like.
Ee loses his judgment of pace, and
his hands, along with his seat on the
horse, and everything else. Then, like
the bali player, returns to the sticks,
the jock drifts to the bush tracks, or,
like the fighter, quits altogether.
Some become trainers, like Odom
and Willie Midgeley, and Maxey
Hirsch and Snapper" Garrison, and
Mickey Miles, and "Puddin'" McDan-
lei, and frankie O'Neil, who trained in
France, and some who are not smart
enough or ambitious enough to handle
horses and who did not save their
dough when they were getting 1t as
riders, turn tout.
Willie Knapp, real oldtimer, who
was down on the ground for several
years and who was reinstated this
spting, is about the only genuine jock
comeback. Willie has put up some great
rides and few bad ones, but he is a
real comeback.

FUTURE OF LAWN TENNIS
PAINTED IN ROSY HUES

The future of lawn tennis in
America was painted in rosy
hues at the annual meeting of
the United States Lawn Tennis
association in New York city.
There were many predictions
that the coming season would be
the greatest in the history Of
American lawn tennis, partly
because of the steadily inereas-
ing popularity in the game and
partly because the war depart
ment has approved tennis as an
ideal game for training purposes,
and has created 100 courts at
army training camps. The an
nual meeting, held Friday, was
unusual In that no ranking of
players for 1917 was announced,
result of the war. Exhibition
games during 1918 for war funds
were discussed and approved at
