NAVY VETS TO
REPORT TODAY
Full Routine Practice to Gel
Under Way When Upper
Classmen Return.

Annapolis. Sept. 15.-The full routine
of preparation for the football season
OF 1918 will be under way at the
Naval Academy Monday, when the
members of the SQUAD of last year.
who remain as midshipmen, will re-
port. After the summer cruise, the
midshipmen of the two upper classes
went on leave, and the football men
are giving up a week of their short
vacation period in order to get some
practice before the opening of the
season.
One veteran stayed over and re-
ported 10 Head Coach Dobie. He is
Denfeld. guard of the 1916 team, who
resigned from the Academy. but re-
entered with the present four class.
He is in splendid physical condition,
and is regarded as a high-class guard.
Coach Dobie has not announced the
members of the fourth-class squad
who will be transferred to the main
aggregation. However. in the month
that they have been to work several
promising men have developed,
though most are handicapped by
youth and lack of weight. There are
plenty of men in the class who will
be heard from in a year or two.
There is much interest in the pos
sible playing of the Army-Navy game,
though no step in the matter will be
taken by any one connected with the
Academy. From all reports, West
Point will also have a strong team.
and the game should be a wonderful
contest. 1t is understood here that
the army has a strong nucleus of old
players. and got a lot of good men
from the new class. which averages
much Older and heavier men than
those recruited by the navy.
Charles Goddard has been desig-
mated as trainer of the football team
for the season. He is one of the in
structors in the department of ply
sical training, and has had large ex-
perience in nearly every branch OF
athletics. He was formerly physical
director at Mercersburg. He succeeds
John Wallen. also an instructor at the
Academy. Wallen did very accept,
able work, but resigned to take a
position at another institution.

EXPLAIN WHY
HORSES FAIL
lmpo rted Thoroughbreds
Do Not Stay in with
American Horses.

New York. Sept. 15.-In commenting
ON the showing made this season and
last by imported horses DR.. NJ. N.
Leach, of Lexington. KY. who II an
authority on the thoroughbred and
has seen him in nearly every coun-
try OF the globe. had the following
to say on acclimatization during q re-
cent visit to New York: Despite the
performances of such good horses as
Hourless. Star Hawk. Omar Khay-
yam. Sun Briar and Johren. I am
of the opinion that the Importance OF
thoroughbreds for racing tests as now
carried on does not pay. though from
breeders standpoint the evidence
Of turf history Is proof that the nu-
merous importations of the past few
seasons will, beyond question. be OF
material assistance In improving the
standard of excellence Of future gen
erations Of American-bred blood
stock. The importation Of horses des-
tined for racing purposes cannot be
made to pay unless certain set rules
are followed. The bugbear of ac-
climatization stands ever ready to foil
the best laid plans.
'On. my first visit to Australia, In
charge Of some thirty head of horses
knew little OF the process of ac-
climatization. Our horses on arrival
in Melbourne were taken to the farm
and ouarantined for a period of one
month, as required by Australian
law. I thought that after a short
period of rest the horses could be
put into active training. / was more
than astonished to learn that the
owners had no intention of again
placing the horses in training for a
long time. / was told that two years
must elapse before these horses be-
come thoroughly acclimatized. After
a sojourn of nearly two years In the
Antipodes l found that even a longer
period was necessary for complete
acclimatization.
The horses took down after a
certain length of time seemed to be
going through some process OF
change" resumed DR.. Leach. They
became sleepy and a general lassitude
prevailed. Their legs filled. They lost
muscle over the back and loins. Their
coats were staring. and all this for
no assignable cause. so far as could
see, except the process of acclimation,
The change. of course, Is not SO

northern hemisphere and the seasons

THIS RACE WOULD
BE REAL THRILLER

New York, Sept 15.-In view OF
the fact that such a difference exists
as to the best 2-year-old of the year,
a special sweepstakes should be ar
ranged to bring together Billy Kel-
ly. Dunboyne. Purchase and Eternal
at even weights.
With the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive approaching, it would be the
part of sportsmanship as we'll as
patriotism for the owners of these
four horses to put up $4,000 each in
liberty bonds of the coming issue
or certificates for such bonds and
for some racing association to add
$4,000 also in the coming liberty
loan bonds.
What race IT would make and
what boost 1t would be for the
liberty loan? Twenty thousand men
and women would storm the gates
to see such a struggle.

Gayety-Merry Reunders.

The fourth annual edition of Max
Spiegefs Merry Founders" company
opened yesterday to two capacity
houses at the afternoon and night
performances at the Gayety Theater
and was welcomed back by much
generous applause. Abe Reynolds
and Florence Mills share the head
line honors in this seasons version
of the classic Founders" It is en-
tirely new from start to finish, with
the single exception that Reynolds is
again seen in his original character
creation of Jacob Rosenbloom.
Abe Reynolds was as funny as he
ever was In his life in his old part
and keeps the house in a roar OF
laughter when he is on the stage,
which is most of the time. Miss
Mills has a pleasing personality to.
gether with good soprano voice
which she uses to advantage In her
numbers. Mildred Tyson, the in
genue OF the cast. is very clever and
has plenty to do during the action
of the show.
John Quigg, the man with an ac-
Gordon, Is one of the best perform
ers seen here in many moons and
takes the house by storm with his
specialties, 'I'u play anything you
want If I know it." This takes the
house by storm and he has to re-
spond to numerous encores.
The plot of the "Rounders" is there
all right but it is soon lost track OF
in the five scenes which hll the two
acts. The chorus is good looking and
wears some fetching costumes as well
as does a whole lot or dancing for
the entertainment OF the audience.
The scenery is up TO the usual stand
ard set by the Founders" and the
audience enjoyed the whole show and
went away happy.

SECTION TWO.

Clarendon started out in the early
stages of the opening engagement and
piled up eight counters before the
Medicos had settled down to work.
Free hitting by the visitors, together
with the poor support by his intield,
caused Parks to allow such a big
lead. The right handler kept at his
opponents, and with a little timely
hitting by his team mates, would have
kept the score down.
The MediCos were not able to bunch
hits OF Hudson until he let down in
his work. when on two hits and an
error one tally was across the plate.
Again they punched two hits with
another error and tally number two
came over the plate. In the stand-up
session Medicos piled up three hits
for two tallies which brought their
total up to four for the contest.
Bronze Howard had a busy day
at the initial sack for Medicos, as he
handled thirteen chances without an
error which was quite a feat as they
were throwing them at his head and
feet, but he held on to all that came
his way.
Between the contests the associa-
ton collected $50 for "Fags" for the
wounded soldier - Walter Reed Hos

Next Years Auto Tags
Will Be Black-Red

Pennsylvania's automobile
license tags for 1919 will be black
enamel with red letters. The
general style will be similar to
those now in use, which are a
dark blue with white letters.
They will also bear the keystone
for the manufacturers number.
Bids will soon be asked for fur
nishing the tags. OF late they
have been furnished by the state
prison labor commission, which
has manufactured them at the
shops of the Huntingdon re-
formatory.
The state has had red, blue,
yellow, olive and similar colored
tags in the last ten years.
The order will call for 400, 600
tags, the largest number ever
ordered. This yearit is expected
that fully $4,000 will be needed.
