Stalls Filled At Tropical

(Continued from Page 1) During the early morning hours, the track is literally seething with horses. These work sessions are attracting more and more lay visitors, and the 'show' is growing better and more interesting each morning. The grounds are open, of course, to the public., During the past week, more than fifty new outfits arrived at Tropical Park from points North, East and West. Among the arrivals were strings either owned or handled by N. J. LeBlanc, M. Level, E. W. King, W. W. Hodson, Sammy Hicks, Tom Haskos, Dan Hardy, Joe Grossman, W. L. Bowling, W. H. Dunham, H. L. Cromwell, H. Crouch, Mike Caruso, Hirsch Jacobs, Joe Bernstein, Jim Boren, D. R. Allen, A. J. Abel, L. A. Brusie, Phil Bieber, Harris Brown, Frank Coltiletti, D. W. Carroll? A. F. East, O. L. Foster, Ed. Carpenter, E. A. Bischoff, Jim Hastie, Freddie Hopkins, Olin Johnson, Lewin Stable, William F. Lutz, Oscar Mackie, R. Metcalf, Herbert Miller, Ed Mulrennan, Adrian Rogers, H. Barnett, G. L. Bryson, H. Hoffman, D. McVean, Walter McLean, W. McCune, Joe Pupino, Gus Packer, Tommy Queen, J. F. Quinn, Francis Scully, W. Shaw, C. Turner, L. H. Thompson, L. Underwood, W. Wallace, G. R. Watkins and Don Yates. Eddie Arcaro will launch his "comeback" to the saddle at Tropical Park on January 1, at which time he will have completed his long suspension for rough riding in the Hopeful at Saratoga. Arcaro has been in Miami for about a month, galloping and exercising horses in an effort to keep down to riding weight. Under contract to the Greentree Stable, Arcaro will head one of the brightest arrays of riders ever to don silks at Tropical Park. Ralph Eccard, another well known rider, also will return to silks when the Tropical Park meeting gets under way on December 20. Operated on about four months ago,when he suffered an attack of acute appendicitis, Eccard has been inactive ever since. He reports that he is in fine fettle, weighs 109 pounds and that he will "free-lance" it during the Winter season. Ted Atkinson, who was the riding sensation of the New England season, has checked in and is eagerly awaiting the opening gun at Tropical Park. It was Atkinson who piloted the Glen Riddle satellite, War Relic, in his Massachusetts Handicap, Narragansett Special, Governor's Handicap and Kenner Stakes triumphs. The boy hopes to handle War Relic in races he runs this Winter in Miami.

U. S. Introduces Recruits to the Radio Airwaves

To meet the demand for qualified men created by the huge shipbuilding program of the Maritime Commission, the United States Maritime Service is training youths to become radio operators in the American Merchant Marine. Physically fit American male citizens 18 to 23 years of age with no previous experience are being offered a 10 months' course in radio operation, maintenance, and repair. Youths accepted are paid from $36 to $60 a month while in training. Food, quarters, and clothing are furnished by the Government. Those who successfully complete the course become radio operators in the Merchant Marine with pay starting at $105 a month; food and quarters furnished. For complete information write to U. S. MARITIME SERVICE, WASHINGTON, D. C.

R. L. Hightshoe, who figured in a bad spill in Chicago seven months ago, is planning a "comeback" at Tropical Park.

Greater Miami's annual winter sports calendar zooms into gear this week with the 18th Annual Miami Open Golf Tournament being held from the 11th to 14th, followed by official opening of horse racing at Tropical Park, Saturday, December 20th. Dog racing will start Christmas week. Grand champion of America's winter golf, the Miami Open Golf Tournament is being played at the Miami Springs Country Club from Wednesday through Saturday. Thousands of Miami vacationists are watching the sparkling play of Byron Nelson, defending champion, Sammy Snead, and Ben Hagan, all favorites; and the dark horses, Dick Chapman, 1940 United States Amateur Champion, Ralph Stonehouse, winner of the 1934 Miami Open, and R. A. F. Cadet T. G. Smith, former Walker Cup Team member. Tropical Park inaugurates Miami's winter horse racing Saturday, December 20th, concluding its winter program January 10th. Hialeah Race Track will open for its 46-day season the next day, January 14th, continuing until March 7th. Tropical Park will re-open on March 9th, for its Spring season, lasting until April 10th, when Miamis' horse racing season is terminated.

On January 6th the Biscayne Kennel Club with many ground improvements, will open for 82 nights of dog racing, ending April 10th.

Ne wFurniture Store to Open

Miami will soon have a new furniture store which will bring something new in furniture to this area, according to S. N. Frank, manager of Robinson's Virginia House Furniture store at 1549 S. W. Eighth street, which will have its formal opening beginning at 9 o'clock a. m., December 13th. George Robinson, one of the executives of the new firm said the public is cordially invited to attend the opening, and to receive one of the valuable souvenirs which will be on hand for the visitors to the store that day. While any item that can be bought at any good furniture store will be on sale at the new store, Messrs. Funk and Robinson stated, Virginia House furniture will be featured, and it is this furniture which will give the greatest distinction to the business.

Mr. Meyer says that he has felt for some time that Coral Gables needed a suitable and properly equiped place where the citizens and visitors may purchase the best i ntypical Florida fruits and fruit products, and he is giving the community this facility. Mr. Meyer says he will sell top quality, tree-ripened fruit, specializing in gift boxes to be shipped anywhere in the United States or in Canada.

Police Urged to Forget Cliques

(Continued from Page 1) the present set-up and that rumors to the contrary were falsehoods. He said that in this time of emergency, the city would countenance no friction in the police department and cliques, if they existed, must be broken up. Curry's talk was followed by a few words from Mayor Whitley, who asked the police to forget any petty differences and work together as an efficient unit. He stressed the fact that the department was a semi-military body and vital to the safety of the community during the war.
