Hirsch Jacobs Brings Imposing Stable of Horses to Tropical

Hirsch Jacobs, who has headed the list of American trainers more times than any other man, and who holds top place again this year, has checked in at Tropical Park with one of the strongest divisions of horses he has ever drafted for competition in this land of sunshine. Numbering a dozen head, the shipment comprises Total Eclipse, Dudie, Shadows Pass, Air Brigale, Surertero, Santo Domingo, Fuego, Landlubber, Who Reign, No Dough, Maechance and one yearling. Each of these horses is fit and ready to run after a successful campaign in the North. They made the trip from Bowie, Md., in excellent fashion and, according to their able handler, "they feel right at home at Tropical Park". Needless to say, the Jacobs-trained horses will play a prominent role at the Gables Racing Association's meeting which will open Saturday, December 20, for a 21-day "stand". Seldom since racing became Miami's favored Winter sport have Jacobs' charges failed to score with amazing regularity. Although he is certain to be "bearing down" from the opening gun at Tropical Park, Jacobs needs no more victories to insure him the America training kingship for the year. He will begin the new meeting with 120 winners to his credit, and any he achieves between December 20 and January 1, will be superfluous so far as his title is concerned. Total Eclipse Best Known Best known of Jacobs' run-ners, perhaps, are Total Eclipse and Air Brigade, both of stakes calibre. It is very probable that Air Brigade will be pointed for the $2,500 Inaugural Handicap of six furlongs, top offering of the opening-day program. Total Eclipse may be reserved for important features over a distance of ground inasmuch as he has done most of his top racing of late in longer contests. It is not unlikely that Total Eclipse will make his Winter debut at the popular Bird Road course in the $2,500, mile and 70 yard Christmas Handicap. Another thoroughbred in Jacobs' care which appears a "natural" for all of the top events to be run during the Tropical Park meeting is Maechance, winner of his last two outings at Bowie. He is a highly improved horse, a sturdy sort than can sprint or go on, and is the property of Phil Bieber, long a regular patron of the Gables course. The other horses here in Jacobs' care are the property of his wife, Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs, or of Isadore Bieber, brother of Phil. Park Safe "Tropical Park's racing strip," said Jacobs after getting his feet into it, and after sending out his charges for the first time, "is one of the very safest in the country. You can't praise Track Superintendent 'Pep' Myers too much for the condition in which he has presented the track to the horses and horsemen this season. He is, in my opinion, right at the top in his line, and he has his course better now than I've even seen it." Jacobs also paid a glowing compliment to Racing Secretary Robert S. Shelley for what he termed "a conditioner book with which I can't find a fault." The ruddy little trainer pointed out as he thumbed the book for the first eleven days of the meeting, that there are races for all types and grades of horses. "If this book doesn't satisfy all the horsemen," the former Brooklyn that will."

Eyes IN DEFENSE!

WOMAN'S NEW FREEDOMS In the United States, since the laborless day of wood stoves, woman's status in the nation has changed. Freed from drudgery, she has leisure. She enjoys equal privileges of citizenship with men. Both her leisure and citizenship she is utilizing today to protect the American Way of Life, by which her new freedoms were created. Good sight is helping to make our national defense machinery hum—putting us far ahead of our 1918 efforts. Keener eyes are now trained on targets, landing fields, lathes, micrometers and other defense tools. Better light is one answer. For with better light comes better sight. And during these last few years we've been kinder to our eyes—used a correct amount, right size bulbs. Ask mother, she knows. Let's continue the good work: Keep right size lamps in the sockets—and modernize old-fashioned lamps with inexpensive equipment. We'll be saving sight and money for defense.

Legion Auxiliaries Calling All Women Eligible for Membership

Uniting the women of America for service to America is the big goal of the American Legion Auxiliary for 1942, according to Mrs. Bror F. Landahl, President of the Coral Gables Unit. "The Auxiliary hopes to bring a greatly increased number of eligible women into its ranks, and to inspire others to serve in the various forms of national defense activities open to women," said Mrs. Landahl. "National unity is essential to national defense," she stated. "The American Legion Auxiliary realizes that today all Americans must stand and act together for the protection of our country and of our free way of life. We know there is much that women can do to strenghten America against the dangers ahead, for in the Auxiliary and in other patriotic organizations we are doing it." "The Auxiliary, with its broad program of service work, offers the ideal place for service to women whose husbands, sons, fathers or brothers served in the war of 1917-1918. In the Auxiliary there is something they can do for America today. They can take part in the activities by which we are training for the defense of our communities and homes in case war should come to America, or in the activities by which we are helping build up the forces that will keep war away from America. "In the Auxiliary program there is something useful for every eligible woman to do, no matter what are her interests and abilities. As never before, she is needed in the Auxiliary at this time. There is little she can do as an individual, but united with the other 520,000 women of the Auxiliary, her efforts can be made to count greatly." The Coral Gables Unit of the Auxiliary is now actively enrolling its membership for 1942. Wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters of members of the American Legion, and deceased veterans of the World War are eligible for membership, as well as women who themselves were enlisted in the World War forces. All are being invited to enroll in Coral Gables Unit at this time.
