the country that Bucy Harris not popular in the role of
of the Washington ball club Several times noted
such influence by ouoown scrveners in discussing the
possibility of Bucky going to Cleveland pilot of the 1928

JERRY GETS
THAT JOB

Georgetown University's varsity
football captain for 1923 is Jerome
Jerry" Carroll. of Cresco. Iowa,
for two years left guard on the
Hilltop eleven.
Carroll is guard of the modern
type. He weighs $50 pounds when
in condition and possesses enough
speed to permit OF his breaking
out of the line and into the run
ming interference. His cheerful.
ness under all conditions is ex-
pected to make, him one of the
most popular leaders the Hilltop
LerA have ever had.
The new captain attracted at
tentiOn by his work on the
freshman team and again he
flashed in the varsity spring
practice i'm 1928. However. he
had as rival the pOnderOus
Babe ConnaughtOn and so had
small opportunity for showing
his stuff.
This year Carroll stepped out as
a regular from the start and no
forward on the squad showed to
better advantage. He was in every
play so long as he was in the
lineup. seeming to be impervious to
injury.
Carroll - a junior in the law
school.

WORKMAN
At LIBERTY

Several days ago the report was
rampant that Jockey Raymond
Sonny Workman had signed a con.
tract to ride for Harry Payne Whit
ney during the 1928 season. That
statement is bit of premature dope,
for the Washington lad has not only
refused to sign but will ride free
lance unless his terms are granted.
Riders like Workman are not picked
up every day, and the sum Owner
Whitney has been paying him was
a joke, when one stops to consider
what other race riders not in a class
with Workman are drawing down.
One bears the average race
fan talk about Sande, McAtee,
FatOr and others, but it's Work
mans name that crops up the
most when hOrsemen start dis.
cussing race riders.
The kid never wagers a penny on
any mount, which enables him to do
his best at all times. What's more,
he is so tickled to get into the win.
| ner's circle that he will ride q poor
mans horse for nothing.
A sample of this was shown last
month at Pimlico when he begged
| Speedy Princes trainer to let him
ride. as he heard the owner needed
the dough and he was confident he
could make the platter win.
Workman kicked home the Balti
more-owned horse at long odds, up
setting big coup that was being
engineered on a horse that finished
third in the race. Given q. hustline
agent like Happy Gordon, Workman
would ride pretty close to 200 win
ners next year.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Nov. Is.
Ninety eight accidents, some of
them serious but most of them
minor, have befallen E. P. Lind
gren, formerly of Henning, Minn.S
during his life time.
Gored and tossed into street by
a large Holstein bull, whose tail he
grasped, Lindgren suffered his first
mishap at the age of 5. His left leg,
right arm and collar bone were bro
ken and his body was punctured in
many places.
Now, at the age of As, he has been
run over by thirty-seven freight cars
and caboose. The automobile he
was driving was struck by an eX-
press train, he drove over fifty
foot embankment with his, car, he
has all but chopped off his foot with
a Ratchet and he has jumped of
the top of a barn with large UNI
brella as a parachute, breaking his
left leg. This. happened at the age
of 6. He stumbled over a railroad
porter's stool to rupture joint in
his spinal column. causing total
paralysis from the hips down.
But despite all these mishaps,
LindgreA today is representative of
the Standard Extension of the Uni
versity Of Chicago, and in recognized
as sales lecturer.
Although he has but one arm, he
can drive his car, operate a type
writer at speed of sixty words a
minute and can do almost every
thing with one hand.

CHILDREN QUIT DOLLS
Parents Play with Them Instead,
Toy Builders Learn.
BIZ United Press

BB United Press
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Children
have given up playing with dolls,
but grown-ups have taken to play
ing with them.
This unusual fact was revealed
at a recent meeting of the Asso-
ciated Toy Manufacturers Two ex-
plantations were offered for chill
dren's lack of interest. The first
was that most children now play
athletic games almost as soon as
they are able to toddle- The sec
ond was that with the modern
small families, the little girl of to-
day does not often see baby be-
ing nursed, therefore the initiative
faculty Of playing with dolls is not
developed.
