Square Garden, where all previous
races have been held. There are in
Vulnerable hooks and corners below
stairs that provide excellent hiding
places for the wary, and in the main
hall outside the drill hall there are
gun carriages and army trucks that
are literally Pullmans de luxe for those
who are week ending at the Armory.
Early in the morning yesterday a
youth, leading a we'll dressed man by
the hand, climbed the steps to the press
stand. He explained that he and his
friend wanted to view the race from
that vantage point.
"Wot's the idea? The guys blind,
amt he?" asked Tammany Young,
official courier of the management, who
was posted at the head of the stairway
to head off undesirables intent upon
sitting with the Hard Boiled Eggs Of
the press box.
The youth in charge of the blind
gentleman explained that that didn't
make any difference. He and his friend
always attended the six-day race, he
said, and, while personally, he didn t
insist upon front row chair, the
blind fan simply wouldn't accept any
thing less. Tammany blinked at the
pair for a moment, then busted off
q couple of front row shairs and bowed
the visitors into them.
you can't beat it; you can't even
TIE it," whispered the official courier.
"That guys not gonna see the race, he's
going to INHALE it."
