Twilight Tear 10 Face
Test by Older Stars
In PimIico Race
Hy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 20.-Twilight
Tear, the glamour girl of the Amer
lean turf, has a made-to-order
chance to boost her stock as a
horse of the year" candidate in the
Pimlico Special, November /.
The fashy filly from Warren
Wright's Calumet Farm may match
strides with the best handicap
horses In training in that 13-16th-
mile test for 5000 winner take
all prize. She is now at Laurel Park,
being pointed for the event.
The Tear, in winning 13 of her Is
starts this year, has defeated colts
her own age, three, and older horses,
but has not tangled with older
stakes stars. However, she probably
would be favored by the public un-
der the weight for age conditions
against even such as Devil Diver.
If she does go, she will be the
first fllly or mare in the eight-year
history Of the Special to start. Ask
menow last year won a race which
qualified her for the Special and
Markell was given an invitation,
but neither went to the post.
Thirteen horses have won races
qualifying them for 1914 bids, but
only six remain in training: Twi-
light Tear darlington Classic
Bounding Home belmont Stakes)
First Fiddle Massachusetts Handi-
cap. The Butler), Devil Diver Cthe
Whitneys Equifox washington
Park Handicap and Paperboy Mar
ragansett Special.
Others eligible but not in train
ing are Stir Up. Four Freedoms,
Lucky Draw, Sun Again, Pensive,
Aletern and BY Jimminy.
Another eligible probably will
emerge from the Washington Hand
leap at Laurel October %. Paperboy
is the only present Special candidate
nominated for that qualifying race.
The Maryland Jockey Club re-
serves the right to invite any out
standing horse which does not win
a qualifying race, and last years
Winner-Shut Out-was named by
that route.

The following poem was W.
ten by Mrs. Luther Powers, o.
Lansing, and dedicated to her
son, Pvt. Reggie Powers:
Unto the flag I have given a SOL
dier,
Altho his age is but only eight
cen.
And now he serves so brave and
so gallant,
For the stars and stripes of the
U. S. Marines.
In memory so sweet I think of
his childhood,
When all DER the place his
presence was seen,
And now must think of him as
a soldier,
OF the stars and stripes of the
u. S. Marines.
When he is so far l know can't
see him,
But maybe I'll visit him there
in my dreams,
While he is sleeping so sweet In
the colors,
Of the stars and stripes: of the
u. S. Marines.
I'm praying each day that Jesus
will keep him,
And fill all his paths with hap
py sunbeams,
And if he returns I know I shall
greet him,
Of the stars and stripes of the
u. S. Marines.
