Christmas is essentially a chill
dren's holiday. The many traditions
that have fastened themselves to its
observance have a special appeal to
children. No other single influence,
perhaps, brings out that fine spirit of
indulgence and generosity to chill
dren. 1t is the one season when the
child reigns supreme in the home. A
Christmas without children would be
impossible.
Pagan Customs Carried Over
The giving of presents on Christ
mas has developed into a national in
stitution. Santa Claus is the national
hero at this time of the year. No
other feature of Christmas brings
greater joy to the children. A Christ
mas present is never wasted on
child. There is no more inspiring
sight than a bunch of eager children
opening their Christmas packages
and inventorying their toys and
books, their dolls and skates and
other priced gifts. And the older
members of the family share in the
pleasure that comes from Christmas
packages that serve to remind them
that they are not friendless. A gen.
erous spirit lies at the bottom of
Christmas giving and few people suf-
fer from too much generosity. The
world is full of Tiny Tins and Old
Scrooges and many an unfortunate
child has been cheered and many a
heart been softened on Christmas
Day.
The Christmas card habit has gain
ed such Roadway that the person who
does not send Christmas cards to his
friends at Christmas is almost uni
que. 1t is beautiful custom and also
helps reduce the postal deficit. At
least this once in a year we hear
from friends and relatives at a dis
lance and renew the contacts which
otherwise might be broken. Who is
there so self satisfied as not to enjoy
receiving a Merry Christmas from
folks far away who once were near
and who still are dear 1.-THE Third

BIG MONEY UP AT ACUA CALIENTE;
 PURSE OF $14O,OOO FOR ONE RACE
By PAUL ZIMMERMAN GA. P. Sports Writer

AGUA CALIENTE, Lower Calf. Mex, Feb. 18.-Four feature events flourishing $142,500 in added stakes, will turn the eyes of the horse racing fraternity to the Agua Cali ente Jockey Club track here with the ushering in of the month of March.
 Supreme in importance of these is the Agua Caliente handicap which with it's approximate $140,- GOO gross value in awards, stands out as the richest all age stake in the world
 The month of big money racing will be ushered in with the Agua Caliente derby, March 2. This holds as it's incentive an added value of S25,000 On it's heels fol- lows the Agua Caliente Futurity March 16, putting $7,500 on the racing mart.
 The feature attraction of the four headlining events, presenting it's $l00000 in added stakes, comes on March 23 to replace the Cof- froth handicap, once the climaxing affair of the bygone Tijuana rac- ing days. It will attract some of the best in horse flesh, not only from the United States, but South America and Canada as well.
 The Agua Caliente Cup handi- cap, with S1O,Ooo posted as added money, will terminate the racing season at the border resort on March 30. The trek to Baja Cali fornia, which started turf enthusi- asts borderwald beginning last De- cember 28 with the opening of the new $2000, ,000 plant, will be brought to a close with this race.
 Coming as the crowning feature of the past winter season, the Agua Caliente handicap is the only event salyaged from the forsaken Tijuana layout. The weather beaten grand stand, paddock and club house still stand, a monument to the estab- lishment of horse racing in this region back in 1915.

Tn the next game against Vancouver Janu- ary 24, the flashy utility man played 56 more minutes before he was chased to the bench.

last place TOT the next lOur seq sons. The Athletics were American League champions in 1914 and tail enders for the next seven years.
 With the notable exception of Paavo Nurmi, who was thrust right into the most formidable compe- tition available from the outset foreign athletes usually have had their spots picked for them by promoters having an eye to the ballyhoo and consequent gate re- ceipts. Nurmi needed no such assistance when he first came over here in 1925. At that time the Finn could spot any runner in the world a half lap to the mile and make a show of him and that in- cluded such stars as Ray, Hahn, Ritola, Connolly and Higgins. Four years later, however, Nurmi had lost the edge from his speed and was all to willing to have things made trifle easier for him.
 The ill-fated tour of the slim Norwegian pole-vaulter, c h arle y Hoff may be recalled as another example of manipulation. When he came here in 1926, the Vaulting Viking was the worlds champion in his speciality, yet his sponsors promptly baked one night at Bos- ton. when it was discovered he was slated to encounter the Yale star, Sabin Carr. The latter was oblig- ed to withdraw and Hoff then went on to break the worlds indoor record.
 This was not because Hoff him. self feared Carr. But to have staged a duel between the two at the time would have upset the carefully laid plans for the in vader. scheduled for tour in which he was to achieve record heights by easy stages, always leav- ing himself working margin. Sub seuuently Hoff vaulted himself out of the amateur picture. It IS a classic bit of irony that when last heard of. the Viking was threat ened with being jailed in Norway for charging that the conduct or amateur athletics was not quite so altruistic as it might be.
