 Stella Coaches Sister
 Stella Walsh, winner of the 100- meter dash in the 1892 Olympic Games, is grooming her younger sis ter for place on the United States Women'S track and field team which will compete in the 1940 Olympics. Miss Walsh competed for her native Poland in the games at Los Angeles after she found she could not get her final naturalization papers here in time to compete for the United Stat es. She had filed her intention, but the slow moving machinery of nat uralization forced her to chose be- tween competing for Poland or sit- ting on the sidelines.
 The speedy Stella is determined to make a champion of sister Clara and further see to it that she does not encounter the same difficulties winch forced her to abandon her de- sire to wear the red, white and blue shield in the Olympic Games.
