Like every trainer or his assistant
Chuck took another step forward.
He became a one-third owner in q
selling platter, said selling platter
being valued at about 5000 on the
hoof In the stable, but only about
600 cents when on the track.
During the early days Of his
career Chuck made every track
in the country from Sheepshead
Bay to Brighouse and from Haw-
thorne to Charleston, s, c. AS the
years grew on he would migrate
from one extreme to the other,
but he always made Canada during
the summer months.
Two years ago Chuck sojourned
in New Orleans while the rest Of us
poor nortals stayed north and tried
to duck wintry blasts. A year ago
he hied himself off to Mexico City
and found 1t hard to keep cool in
temperature OF 100 in the shade
while we found 1t hard to keep
warm with the thermometer hover
ing around as.
Last fall during the fag end Of
the Bowie meeting We asked
Chuck where he would take up
residence during the winter
months. "Cuba for mine" came
the reply. And sure enough that
Is where Chuck right now IL,
living off the fat Of what the
island has to offer.
We forgot to mention that some
ten years ago he tired Of getting
up at 4 o'clock in the morning, sad
ding a couple Of plugs and then
holding a stop watch while his
charges galloped a mile in just
about. Chuch took up chart making.
Today he ranks with the best in
the country.
In his pilgrimages North and
South, each year, he always made
the spring and fall Maryland meet
ings. We made the acquaintance
of Connors five or six years ago.

letter from him.

At this time, McPhilomy has

helped the Rathskellers pile up
records, is just one point behind the
lsader and has hackers confident he

average for nine games Of 121.
His average for the season in the
District League 10 10 and a frac.
ton.
Curb Cafe recently took first
place by winning two games from
the Manhattans. To stay In front,
the cafe stars viii have to do some
sensational bowling, for this sea-
son the entire league IL sensational.
For the time being, the team
fight is between Curb Cafe and
the Manhattans, the Kingpins in
third place being three and one.half
games behind the Manhattans.
Oddly, the Rathskellers, whose team
average is 100, are in last place.
Their average is one point better
than that Of the leading Curb
Cafe team. 1t Is one Of the myster
les Of bowling, at least one case
where figures don't seem to tell
the truth.
According to statistics present
cd today by LOnllie Krauss, who
has succeeded Horace Elmer as
official scorer, only one District
