COURTESY PAYS.
\ good many years ago an old lady
was very eourteously helped onto a
street car by young conductor. and
this helpfnlness seemed to give her a
special right to be as big a nuisance
as possible.
During the first few blocks she in
sisted three or four times that the con

wanted to get of. Her trip was a
rather long one and by the time she
was about half way through with Il
she began jumping up nervously al
every corner. asking the conductor IL

Hobey Baker to
Race In Classic
AtHMop Track

Baltimore. April 2l.-Hobey Baker,
like Man O'war, will race in the
East this spring, and his first great
effort will be in the $4,000 Freak
ness, which will be renewed at Pim-
lico on May 49,. and attract the best
3-year- -olds in the country, the con-
tenders in the Kentucky Derby,
which will be run May s, at Churchill
Downs. among others.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of Eugene WayIand, trainer
of the stable of w. J. Salmon, of
New York. of which Hobey is the
bright and particular 3-year- old
star. Hobey Baker, which finished
second to Constancy in the $4,000
Eastern Shore at Havre de Grace
last September. wintered at Jamaica.
He has been at Havre de Grace for
three or four weeks and he is gallop-
ing encouragingly, but Wayland is
afraid that it would be crowding
him some to attempt to get him
ready for a hard race of one mile
and a quarter like the kentucky
Dc rby. which is to be run as early
as May s.
1t should not be difficult. however,
to ready Hobey up for a gallop of
one mile and one furlong that will
not be run until May is. HObey
Baker is a son of Celt and Augusta
Victoria. He is Nirginian bred and
he was the best 2-year-old in the
Salmon stable last season. He has
speed and Wayland is confident he
will carry it as far as good 3-year-
olds are asked to travel.

the navy meets the Union Boat Club
of Boston in race staged for the
delegates to the annual conven-

Clubs, which will spend the day
at the Naval Academy under the
auspices of the Annapolis Harvard
Club and of the Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, Franklin d. Roose-
welt, Harvard '04. ..
The shell OF the Union Boat Club,
captained by Lothrop wilmington,
Harvard II, and manned exclusive
ly by veteran Crimson oarsmen.
Is expected to give the midship-
men a hard battle. Although the
event will have no intercolle giate
Significance, II is nevertheless con-
sidered one of the most important
rowing events OF the year, since
its result will go far toward de-
termining whether or not the Union
Boat Club will send its crew to
England for the Henley regatta.
The Boston club has been active
in rowing for sixty years. and was
runner-up at the last English Hen
ley before the war, in July, 1914,
when the honors went to Harvard's
second varsity crew.

Game in PhHy
Postponed d--Rai1

When the players went to bed
Tuesday night in Philadelphia it
was raining very hard and when the
early risers got up yesterday morn
ing it was raining very hard. In
fact every one decided that the
game would be called off. At $3.50
it came true.
The Philadelphia management
called up President Griffith at the
Majestic and informed him that
there would be nothing doing as
the grounds were very wet and it
would be impossible to play.
With these orders Griff told all
the boys to get ready to leave for
home at 1 O'Clock. This they did
with the exception of a few lovers
of the bang tails who went over to
Havre de Grace to try their luck.
About noon, after Grifflth had
left for the depot to see about
parlor car, word was received over
the phone that the game was on,
but it was too late.
The game will be doubled up
when the two clubs meet next trip
